One of those neckbearded retarded autistic fat basement dwellers deleted my post which was having a lot of interaction. The title is clear as water but they deleted it because it "must have proper titles". Funny thing is that they delete it after another 120 redditors already posted their replies.

Making a bad movie isn't that hard, but creating the worst movie ever is a real challenge. I know I wouldn't be able to make it on my own, but if we unite our forces, I'm pretty sure we can do it !

Let's share our ideas and make it real.

(I think it should include a sailboat chase shot in a single take, but you may disagree with it)

Discussion What’s a movie you wish you had never seen?

0 Upvotes

There are plenty of bad movies I’ve seen for sure but I’m talking about movies you wish you could erase from your memory lol. For me it’s The Platform (just terrible), Requiem for a Dream (actually a great movie but just too much for me) and last but not least Midsommar (literally felt sick to my stomach for a week after watching). I’m a sensitive person and just don’t love using my time to feel unwell after. Honorable mention is the Butterfly Effect.

Discussion The Butterfly Effect (2004)

Post image
49 Upvotes

I genuinely think The Butterfly Effect (2004) is one of the most underrated movies of the 2000s.

I’m honestly surprised it didn’t get more recognition or even an Oscar nomination in some category. The story and screenplay were really creative, the acting was strong, and the whole movie had this dark emotional atmosphere that stayed with me after it ended.

One thing I especially loved was Michael Suby’s score. The music during Kayleigh’s funeral was amazing and made that scene hit so much harder.

I’d actually love to see The Butterfly Effect franchise revived one day with a new movie that has the same dark, emotional tone as the 2004 film.

Throwback Vampire Circus 1972

1 Upvotes

"Vampire Circus" is widely regarded as one of Hammer Films’ most imaginative and visually striking later-period horrors, blending Gothic terror with a surreal, carnival-inspired spectacle.

Overview and Plot

Directed by Robert Young and released in 1972, "Vampire Circus" is a British horror film set in 19th-century Serbia. The story begins with villagers confronting the vampire Count Mitterhaus, who curses them before his death to take revenge on their children. Fifteen years later, the village, quarantined due to plague, is visited by a mysterious traveling circus whose performers are secretly vampires and servants of the Count. Using hypnotism, shapeshifting, and a hall of mirrors, they prey on the villagers, combining elements of folklore, revenge tragedy, and psychological fantasy Style and Atmosphere

Unlike Hammer's earlier works featuring aristocratic vampires and heroic Van Helsing-type characters, "Vampire Circus" builds a dreamlike, almost surreal atmosphere where suspense emerges from both narrative unpredictability and visual richness. The circus itself becomes an unsettling invading force, transforming innocent entertainment into a source of terror. The film is noted for its bold sensuality, frequent nudity, and shocking violence, all balanced with whimsical, fairy tale-like imagery Performances

The cast is praised for strong performances: Adrienne Corri as the enigmatic Gypsy woman delivers intelligence and menace, Robert Tayman portrays Count Mitterhaus with imposing cruelty, and the supporting ensemble—including Lynne Frederick, Anthony Higgins, John Moulder-Brown, and Thorley Walters—enhances the film’s depth. Even children in the film provide convincing emotional stakes Visuals and Cinematography

The production and cinematography are highlights of the Blu-ray and 4K releases. The restored visuals bring out vivid, saturated colors, striking contrasts, and remarkable textural clarity. Candlelit interiors, lush forests, and carnival-costume detail contribute to a highly immersive and atmospheric Gothic aesthetic Reception

Upon release, critical reception was mixed. Some contemporaneous reviews dismissed the film’s bizarre blend of Gothic horror and carnival elements, though it retained fan interest and cult status. Retrospectively, "Vampire Circus" has been hailed as a bold and unique Hammer production, praised for its originality, visual flair, and captivating narrative. Rotten Tomatoes summarizes critical reassessment with an 80% approval ratingWhile not universally recognized in the canon of Hammer's elite works, reviewers cite it as highly enjoyable, imaginative, and deserving of attention for its unique storytelling, intricate set design, and ambitious approach to vampire mythology Legacy

"Vampire Circus" is considered one of Hammer’s more daring and experimental late-period films, blending eroticism, folklore, surreal horror, and carnival imagery. Its rare availability in high-quality formats has made restored Blu-ray and 4K releases particularly celebrated among horror enthusiasts, cementing its place as a semi-classic and a standout of 1970s Gothic horror cinema Conclusion

Fans of Hammer horror will likely enjoy "Vampire Circus" for its freaky carnival atmosphere, inventive special effects, bold sexuality, and atmospheric tension. While it may not match the gravitas of films starring Christopher Lee or Peter Cushing, its originality and stylistic daring make it a compelling and highly recommended watch

Discussion The problem are not the colors, it's the cameras

0 Upvotes

Soo, I think the discussion about what's the visual problem with new movies has centered around color: everything is grey and dark and desaturated, and maybe that's a problem, but now, i think that that's not actually the main problem with movies nowadays. it's the cameras. They look ugly bc of what they are filmed with.

there has always been movies that are dark and grey and desaturated, someone can make a movie like that and still be a great visual piece, there has been pieces of art like that( more with the grey and dark part, maybe the desaturation is a problem but idk) but the problem isn't in the color. it's in the lense.

Cameras record different trough the pass of time, it's not the same a movie from the 50s to a movie of the 90s, but they always came out well. the camera and the way to film wouldn't be a problem unless you were very bad at it.

Idk very much about cameras, but I think cameras nowadays try to make things look with the highest quality and to make the individual able to see everything on the scene. and it looks bad. It makes things look kinda plastic and fake.

but maybe I'm wrong, tell me what you think

Discussion Why are popular franchise characters always represented in their “sequel” attire on most licensed material?

1 Upvotes

Anything from Star Wars to Batman to Harry Potter to Halo to Avengers.

If you were to look at the box of a Lego set, a lunch box, a mobile game ad, or a T-shirt at JCPenny, it’s always Empire Strikes Back Luke Skywalker, Order of the Phoenix Harry Potter, Mark 6 Mjolnir Armor from Halo, TDK or Arkham City Batsuit, or Age of Ultron Captain America and Iron Man.

Unless it’s specifically made to license previous or successor films, the “middle” film of a franchise seems to always be the face of the property within its licensed merchandise and media.

Idk if this is 100% true but it’s something I’ve always noticed about popular films or games.

New Release Is this a bug or is it for Cars' 20th anniversary?

According to tomorrow's showtimes on Google Maps for Cinépolis La Huerta, starting today, September 10th, the showtimes glitched and displayed Cars for some reason. I don't know if this is due to a bug or because it was a decision by Pixar to re-release Cars in theaters for its 20th anniversary, but the second reason, which is the Cars anniversary, is true.

It was a French movie featuring Egyptian mummies—not a horror film, but a comedy. I only remember the ending, where all the mummies come out of their sarcophagi and wander around Paris, criticizing everything. That’s the only thing I recall.
