Supreme Cmdr Posted July 14, 2005 Report Posted July 14, 2005 OK, so which of our resend psychos is planning on seeing this?
Guest Grayfox Posted July 15, 2005 Report Posted July 15, 2005 *raises hand* after seeing house of 1000 corpses, how can i turn this one down? hehe im even a member of the rejects army.
Supreme Cmdr Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Posted July 17, 2005 Wot!!! A review of Willy Wonker from Scriv but nothing on this gorefest?!? I'm shocked. C'mon Scriv, out with it.
Scrivener Posted July 17, 2005 Report Posted July 17, 2005 I'd love to but it dosn't come out till the 22nd. I know, I don't want to wait either.
Supreme Cmdr Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Posted July 17, 2005 eh? I thought it was out this weekend. Sorry, my bad. Well, I don't feel so bad now then cuz I think both Stealth and the Island are coming out on the same day! Woohoo!!!
Scrivener Posted July 17, 2005 Report Posted July 17, 2005 I plan on spending the entire day at the local Krikorian this Friday.
Scrivener Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 Wow, where to start. Well, this categorically wasn't even the same kind of movie as the original H1KC. Whereas House was a good ol fashioned horror film - Rejects is an outright 70's style revenge flick (Like Dirty Harry meets Kill Bill meets Friday the 13th). I still left the theatre feeling like I needed a shower, but this time that was only because of this insane heat wave we've been having. Part of the reason this movie isn't as disturbing as the first is because we have absolutely no characters to identify with. Everyone is downright nasty this time (with the exception of a handful of unfortunate passersby). I definately prefer House of 1000 Corpses - maybe because it was more cartoonishly artistic and uncomfortable - but Devils Rejects is still a decent vintage-esque film nasty. 7/10 Next on today's itinerary: The Island. It seems Stealth got pushed back a week to avoid competing. Oh well, that means I have something to watch next saturday too

Guest Grayfox Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 heh ya the motel scene... whew that one had me squirm a bit. liked this one, but not as much as house... pretty damn close tho 7/10
Scrivener Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 quote:Originally posted by Grayfox: heh ya the motel scene... whew that one had me squirm a bit. That had one of the best stabbings I've ever seen in a movie. I couldn't tell if it was practical or CG - but boy howdy did that stuff look real. I can't wait for a DVD with directors commentary. The most gruesome horror films always have the most educational commentaries. ...and bullets hitting bare flesh... you just don't see that stuff. Very hard to pull off from a technical standpoint.

Scrivener Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: ...which tells me nothing.It's gruesome. Psychologically it's not as intense as House of 1000 Corpses because you don't really have any characters to relate to... but there's lots of stabbings, slashing, gunshots, etc... and there's a pretty nasty scene involving a semitruck and one of the victims... It's gruesome. Really really gruesome. Saving Private Ryan gruesome (maybe a little worse). There are scenes of torture, murder, a guy gets his head clubbed in... etc. AND none of the effects look hoakey in the slightest. They look real.

Supreme Cmdr Posted July 27, 2005 Author Report Posted July 27, 2005 Thanks guys, I guess I'll be skipping this one then. Next!!
