Watched Day of the Dead : Bloodline the other day.


Basically, re-make Day of the Dead but modernize it, sterilize it, and take away most of what made the original good.

A group of medical students are partying when a z outbreak occurs. One girl escapes in the chaos. A decent opening scene with bad acting but some good gore. Sadly it is generally downhill from here.

So now it is months(?) later and medical student chick is the doctor for a bunch of people living in a bunker facility that is controlled by some military folks. People yell at each other, make stupid decisions, and generally get themselves killed by their idiocy.

Positives:
*Some good gore fxs here and there.
*Location is ok.

Negatives:
*Bad acting, writing, directing, execution.
*Everything else.
*The lead actresses wasn't horrible but mostly forgettable. The antagonist was so one dimensional that it was really annoying. The love interest pretty boy was more a hairstyle than a character and was even more annoying.

It was generally bad but mostly just bored me. Just competent enough to avoid any "so bad it is good" appeal.

3.5 out of 10. Even a huge z fan like myself can't recommend it.

This new Texas Chainsaw Massacre is produced by Fede Alvarez. His version of Evil Dead (2013) was pretty awesome and I loved Don't Breathe (2016). I'm ALL in on this project.

Interesting study for sure. Curious where these 50 viewers watched these movies? Because in the comfort of your own home these movies definitely take on different effects. Sinister has a lot of shock value implanted with well-crafted jumpscares, which sort of transcends the viewing setting sotospeak. Makes sense that it got the most rise out of people. The Shining being criminally low probably has more to do with the era it was released in. Take this study back into 1980 and I guarantee it knocks the pants off Sinister. Not only were viewers more susceptible at the time, but the cinematics & effects were "of its time".

Just rewatched the original Evil Dead. Still love the whole series. Would love to go down and find the area where they filmed it at since all that remains I believe is the chimney.

Blade.

Blade.

Agreed. I don’t think it’d even matter about which environment they were in.

Still the scariest movie ever is The Exorcist.

Man I tried to watch that film a few times, finally just forced myself and STILL only got 3/4 of the way through it. I just could NOT get into that, which is odd because the premise and setting seems like a film I'd love. I dunno what it was about it.... the kills/scares/etc. just came off cheesy for some reason.

HORRIBLY overrated in terms of scares... the only "WTF" (and it was WTF not scary) moment was the crab walk. Outside of that I was yawning through the whole fuckin' thing.
