Here I go again. Delving into a new (to me) franchise and I'm starting with the remake. At least I think it's the remake... It's all they have on Netflix and it's leaving soon so. Watching the remake first worked out with Fri13th (the first three I love way more than the remake), soo... *shrug* I've always been hesitant to watch these for some reason. Guess that ends tonight.

Stupid cliche characters doing stupid, predictable cliche things. The gore looked awful as the blood looked like it was added via CGI. The town was fucking sick in the head more so than Leatherface was by going after this girl, who was only a fucking BABY at the time of all this and was purely innocent of any happenings done by her family. The ending was... questionable? No one in their right mind would make the decisions that the characters did in this movie. Especially when the chick decided to stay on the place and look after her cousin. It was kind of cute in its own messed up manner but seriously... they're all just fucking nuts.

I liked it too, especially the monsters, but my complaint is with Adam Green in front of the camera as opposed to being behind it. I love Adam but watching him try to act was really kind of painful. It took me out of what would have otherwise been a fast favorite.

The plot needed work.
It's all too vague. I asked Adam Green on Facebook for more info but he didn't want to explain because then that would be then the "official explanation" would be out. And he seems to like all the different fan theories on the story.
Personally I think he doesn't even have an explanation.
In hindsight, it was a combination of him doing self promoting and a chance for the creature designer to show some of his work.

Escape from Tomorrow (2013)

Someone definitely wasn't having a Disney day when they came up with this movie. It's the film equivalent to drawing a dick onto a cartoon character. Escape from Tomorrow is a satirical dark comedy film about a man named Jim who is having the worst day at Disney World you could possibly imagine. He descends into a living nightmare after getting fired from his job on the last day of vacation and a chance encounter with two underage French girls, and he learns that bad things can happen even at the Happiest Place on Earth. This was definitely made by a man who wants to show that Disney isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Now I love going to Disney World, and I love most of their movies and the characters and all that, so I guess that's why I thought this was a rather uneven movie. I do have to commend Escape from Tomorrow for just how incredibly ambitious it was. Most of the film was shot at Disneyland or Disney World without any permits. That alone made me want to watch it, and the guerilla filmmaking added a rather disturbing and twisted layer to an already dark film because almost everything is genuine Disney. Spaceship Earth is real, the Contemporary is real, and the guests are all real.The director, Randy Moore, obviously had a lot on his mind when he was creating the film. All the conspiracies about Walt Disney, rumors of decapitations on roller coasters, and the screaming children everywhere gave him a lot of material to work with in showing Disney World as the imperfect place it really is. At times, however, it did seem as if Moore had too much he wanted to say. There were lots of ideas presented that never carried past those certain scenes, and that made the film rather unfocused. It goes on these tangents about how the princesses are in a secret ring of prostitutes and some bizarre cat flu, but those ideas are never developed. Other than that, Escape from Tomorrow did get dull at times. The entire film was told from Jim's point of view, but the problem with that is that his mind isn't terribly interesting. We're pretty much watching a man go through a mid-life crisis. Most of the movie is dedicated to just watching him look depressed while waiting in line for Buzz Lightyear or riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The execution of the movie is ultimately its downfall, but there's no denying its thought-provoking themes. Jim desperately wants his youth back so that he can get an escape from tomorrow (see what I did there?) Jim's wife doesn't even want him to touch her, his son's a brat, and he just lost his job. He finds and stalks these two teenage French girls and neglects his kids like some 20-something year-old which finally causes him to lose his sanity and start hallucinating and drinking. Escape from Tomorrow is a film with a lot of ambition and ideas, but it's bogged down by its somehwat dull execution. However, it is still interesting to see how they pulled off this stunt without Disney suing them (the company chose to just ignore the film). Whether you think Disney is a fantastic place filled with wonder or a land filled with fake magic and corporate greed, it's essential for any horror buff to see guerilla filmmaking in its rawest form.

5/10

I don't mind using my imagination but imo there are just too many things that don't make sense and not enough leads to go on.

The Appeared 2007

I could not finish it. Too much of the people doing stupid things in horror movies plot device. Particularly the main characters' actions and inaction were not consistent or connected to changes in the characters. Lots of things happen to make other things happen too conveniently. The suspension of disbelief goes away fast.
