Day 6: A scary movie that is a remake

The original is a classic and the better of the two but this one isn’t bad. I think this was the first film I saw Vince Vaughn in and then he did comedies.

Psycho (1998)

Now it gets a lot of slagging off because it's a shot for shot remake.
But the director did that because it had never been done before & he was testing himself against Hitchcock's talent.

It's fascinating to me.

I love Gus Van Sant, always have, and I appreciate his choices to try something else even when I don't particularly like them. This falls into that category. Though, I have great appreciation that Gus was able to get major studio financing on what was really a film school experiment project.
 
This is my favorite Will Smith film.
I hate the ending. I love the alternate ending that the test audiences hated. But this is why I love physical media, though I wish they had a version of the film where they kept the original last act. It changes so much, and fits so much better into the novel and the title.
 
Day 7: A scary movie that you laughed at.
This is one of my personal favorites from Craven. It’s got some things to say but coats them in a level of absurdity than always makes me laugh. McGill and Robie should always play a couple. ALWAYS.

Never heard of or seen this movie...Why did I think she was about to say, she's been feeding that thing between her legs again? 😭 Not sure what this says about me and my brain and I'm not sure I want to know 🀣
 
Day 7: A scary movie that you laughed at.

College kids go into the woods and find hillbillies with a scary house and chainsaws. The hillbillies with the scary house out in the woods and chain saws are the good guys. Also, Tyler Labine and Alan Tudyk are the hillbillies in question.

Dale & Tucker vs Evil

I remember watching this as a kid and haven’t seen it in a loooong time, but it always seems to pop into my head every year.
 
Day 25: A scary movie that you laughed at
I'm not sure if horror/comedy was what was intended (maybe it was), but Dan Stevens (whom I love) had the absolute laugh-out-loud worst fake American accent I've ever heard. Brits are usually pretty good at nailing our accents. I have no idea what he was going for but it didn't work.

Did you ever watch the TV show "Legion"? He did a good job on there. It's bizarre how he can nail it on tv and screw it up in a movie. I need to watch this now.

Maybe he was going for a specific regional dialect? Because I've heard him do other accents before, and he's usually spot on. But this just missed the mark. Unless he was doing it intentionally.

Ooh I missed his accent flub in that movie! I do remember the English actor who plays Hell’s Kitchen NY native Daredevil completely forgot his American accent for his She Hulk cameo. I mean it was already a pretty bad show, but that annoyed me more than almost anything else about the show! That, and how her tight curls morphed into perfectly smooth, loose waves when she hulked out. As someone who has spent thousands of hours fighting my long, thick, curly, frizz-prone hair…IDK, the green skin might be worth it for manageable hair! 😜
 
Day 6: A scary movie that is a remake

Fright Night πŸ₯΅ When I found out Colin Farrell was playing a vampire, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. When I found out David Tennant was playing the vampire hunter and he'd have his real accent, I almost did die but I definitely wouldn't have gone to heaven.

And here's the trailer, if a shirtless David in leather pants didn't do it for you.

I’ve had this in my queues for a lonnng time now, but didn’t know about Tennant! I think it just got bumped to the top!
Finally watched it last night! Tennant is always fun to watch 🀣 Was weird seeing hot Colin Farrell again after I’ve been watching him as The Penguin on Max for over a month now 🐧
 
Day 7: A scary movie that you laughed at.

I love Killer Klowns so much that I wrote them into one of my short stories here on Lit!
It's a film of complete and utter madness. Perfection. From the start of Movie Night:

"That. Was. Amazing!"
"Popcorn guns!?"
"Carnivorous balloon dogs!"
The shitty flick has us laughing 'til our bellies ache.
"There's a sequel! Look!" She holds up her phone; the reviews are even worse!

Killer Klowns From Outer Space(imdb)

I haven't watched The Penguin yet but it's on my list. Last time I saw Colin he was a very sexy private detective who happened to be a...nevermind, spoilers, and I certainly wouldn't mind seeing him as a sexy but evil vampire again.
I really need to watch this now! All this David Tennant talk is driving me wild

Day 3: A scary movie that was based on a novel.

The Bird's (1963)
Hitchcock almost got the movie shut down/ taken to court due to the attack on Tippi Hedren (attic attack avian warming) . The bird was so agitated they it cut above her eyebrow. 1 cm lower and it would have been the eye...

Day 4: A scary movie with an animal.

Resident Evil: Afterlife.
OK so, they where part CG. Very brown trouser moment for the unprepared...

Day 5: A scary movie starring an Oscar winner: (Either have already won it before, at the time the movie aired, or after.)

Se7en.
Brad Pit, Morgan Freeman, Spacey (doesn't deserve a first name) Gwyneth Paltrow.
That last sin and Pit's face, contender for crime passionnel...

Day 6: A scary movie that is a remake.

IT (2017) IT Ch 2 (2919).
Having loved Tim Curry's Penny Wise, I was left shocked at Bill SkarsgΓ₯rd take on the character.

Day 7: A scary movie that you laughed at.

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.
No explanation.
Just.
Watch it.
While under the influence of... ANYTHING!


(Sorry for the delay, work sucks)
