I've been re-watching (or just watching) slasher franchises. I just finished Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, and boy oh boy was it such a wacky misfire. The entire movie felt like a Looney Tunes episode. It seems as if the writer/director Rachel Talalay was just given a brief description...

I truly appreciate that, thank you so much.

I spent the month making a short horror film with my friends. It's about an old haunted road we used to visit when we were younger. Check it out if you have 20 minutes of self-loathing to spare. Also, Happy Halloween!

Interesting work! I enjoyed the shot composition. It did seem like it was building tension only to deflate it the end, which may have been your point. Look forward to seeing more of your stuff!

Your take is super valid. I agree that the original Friday the 13th is hard to enjoy. I keep going back trying to be more into the storyline, and I just end up being bored. Parts IV and VI are my favorites in the series, and maybe even the only ones I truly "like". They have some really unique...

Agreed. But every time they throw special sauce in there, it usually ends with them going to space.. so maybe it’s just time to totally retire the genre.

You might’ve just saved the horror genre.

It's spooky time. Does anyone enjoy the Friday the 13th movies? If so, what ranking would you give? Or what is your overall experience with them? I just want to open up a discussion about the franchise, as I'm currently re-watching them (in reverse order to switch things up) It's spooky time :)

Dirk is a happy-go-lucky travel agent with a convoluted past, and a love for the beach. What secrets will be unearthed at Sea Breeze travel agency?

It's cool little forums like this still exist!

The Wolf Man is up there for me, as well. Lon Chaney Jr. steals that role.

That's a great one!

I just got finished re-watching most of the old Universal Monster Movies. From Dracula (1931) to The Thing That Couldn't Die (1958). I was wondering if anyone here has also watched through these movies? If so, what's your favorite? It's a tough pick for me, but I think I'm going with The Bride...

I suppose! To answer the question in the header though, this is just why I am not particularly excited about seeing Indiana Jones 5. I would rather see something new and innovative done with the character, if they 100% had to revive it. Or, if I'm feeling nostalgic and want to watch Indiana...

To me originality isn't so much the percentage of your story that has never existed before. It's more "how can you make an idea, probably based off of other ideas, unique to your own storytelling style?" Star Wars was based off tons of things before it, but that doesn't make it unoriginal. It...

Sorry, my cash grab point was more from the perspective of the producers. Adding to a beloved franchise to cash in on a name everyone will stop and go see, and all that. Also, I completely agree. Spielberg/Ford are old, bored, and have nothing to prove. That sort of goes against the spirit of...

I figured I should post something on here. Last Halloween me and my good friend made a short film where famous(?) actor Jim Belushi is summoned by a demonic book and haunts a piece of filmmaking equipment. It was a lot of fun, and also a lot of being tired and angry!

It just seems so much like a "let's get one more cash grab in, while we can" thing.. I want to enjoy it! Spielberg & Ford don't have the energy they did in the 80's. If they leaned more into that, and made Indy a retired scholar who has hung up the whip, then I could see that being interesting...

Hello! I'm Jackson. I'm an amateur(ish) filmmaker from South Carolina, who just really enjoys making fun videos and short films. I've been doing it just about my whole life. I got bored with scrubbing through Reddit & Facebook, so I made an account for here! Currently I make comedy videos &...
