Posted this on the other thread on this board earlier today but in case you missed it:

Just saw it and gotta say I really liked it. For a 2018 slasher film I found it above average. Had seemingly good procuction values for what I assume was a limited budget. Pretty good performances from an entirely unknown (at least to me) cast. And practical effects over CGI (god I hate CGI in slasher movies). The script wasn't perfect but better than the majority of low budget horror films and as the film progressed I found myself liking the characters a lot more than I was expecting to when they were first introduced.

It was a tight 89 minutes so didn't have time to drag and did a surprisingly good job of bulilding suspense at certain points. Based on one or two of the kills I suspect there was some gore left on the cutting room floor to make sure it stayed within the boundaries of an R rating so I wouldn't mind seeing an extended edition some day.

Overall I found it to be a fun horror movie that borrowed plenty from classics while having enough original content to be its own film. I say check it out and if you do let me know your thoughts!

I agree with everything you said, Markdown.

Yes...it is a lot of fun. I'd give it a solid B.

thoughts on The official death of the DCEU after The confirmation Cavil(Like Affleck)is Now Out?

Just wanted to know your opinion, you spent so much time defending the DCEU movies over the last year, Its got to be somewhat bittersweet for you.

While I'm sure your kinda relieve thats its final over and Future DC films now have a chance at finding success and most importantly being quality film, but its still got to bother you, You fought it very hard, no matter how bad it got, You just kept trying, I'll never forget the 2 months spent trying to spin Justice Leagues box office in a positive light...lol remember the Horribly FAILED "This is a crowd pleaser, Its gonna bode well for long term prospects" threads you created...remember how you Literally threw all common since out the window on JLs opening weekend and refused to except "Deadlines Projects" were even possible..lol..despite you yourself quoting Deadline before..lol You predicted a 150 Million + Opening Weekend, When projects started coming in that it was very low between 105 to 115 M, You literally went into a full blown fantasy world and claimed "Nope way to early, noway they could predict this early"....you then moved your prediction to 133 M+ on Opening....On Saturday Projects were coming in JL could fall below 100 Million, again You refused to except Projections were possible, and once again moved your prediction to 115 Million, but were 100% sure it would be over 100 M...

Sunday came revealing that JL had come in at a pathetic 93 M, you Then disappeared for 4 days.....only to return and claim JL was going to dominate Its 2nd weekend(which was Thanksgiving)...JL ended up having Twilight type drops over Thanksgiving...

lol You spent another month defending the movie at all cost....which is odd because Your expectations before the film opened were quite high, you predicted JL would easily hit 1 Billion...

You Guaranteed JL would open HIGHER than Thor 3 and Make More World Wide than Thor 3

JL got nowhere near your expectations, yet you defended it to the end, which means/proves you LOVE the DCEU and were defending JL and other DCEU films blindly no matter what....

which again brings me to.................. thoughts on the death of the DCEU??, its got to hurt that something you loved so much is now officially DEAD

reply

I didn't love the DCEU...I'm a Marvel fan and Disney is my favorite studio...bar none. But I worry for Disney and their "swing for the fences" budget approach on every stinkin' film. For goodness sakes...they are going to lose tens of millions on a Pooh movie because they spent 75 million on it's production. They spent 115 million on A Wrinkle in Time which grossed 130 million WORLDWIDE and lost over a 100 million on A A STAR WARS FILM!

Next expensive almost surefire flop...The Nutcracker. Wreck It Ralph 2 is reported to cost 200 million and is going to be demolished by Universal/Illumination's 80 million-budgeted The Grinch and Mary Poppins Returns is a huge expensive question mark in a very crowded holiday corridor.

As for the future of WB/DC Films? I have a feeling it is laying the groundwork for a VERY hot run starting with Aquaman this Christmas and with Shazam in the Spring with Wonder Woman 1984 exploding a few months later.

do you find it ODD that Your not mentioning Disney Is still Easily going to Win The Studio earnings this year as right now they are currently over 2 Billion ..

I get it, you have a deep hatred for Disney, You are focusing on Their 2 HUGE flops....but what your not saying is even more telling....

and that is IT KILL YOU that despite these 2 Flops, Disney is still dominating This year....Just Like they have done 6 out of the last 7 years Winning the yearly Earnings and Profit where they set records and re-broke the records....

I'm sorry queen, Theres simply no getting around the facts and the facts are Disney Produced 3 films this year that were such massive hits, It Literally Makes theres flops almost unnoticeable....

Black Panther grossed 1.3 B+ and Netted Disney between 550 to 600 M
Avengers IW grossed 2 B+ and Netted Disney 700 M+ in Profit
Incredibles 2 grossed 1.150 B+ and Will net Disney Over 350 M+ in Profit

Disney Is the only Studio in Hollywood history to produce 3 films in the same year to gross over 600 M+ domestically....

WB has had an INCREDIBLE year this producing many Hits....but those hits Literally dont even come close to the Hits Disney Had or The Profit Disney Made....

you can literally had up every single Hit WB has had this year, and It does not equal The Profit Disney Made from just 2 movies in Avengers IW and BB....

So While I get that your hated for Disney Drives you to Talk about Its 2 FLOPS.....I find it even more telling what your not talking about, and your Not talking about it because you know theres nothing you can say....

whats even more Hilarious is.....I'm not even sure if you understand or have thought about really how Almost UNNOTICEABLE Disney's 2 FLOPS are.....Your so Rabid and Excited about Disney finally having 2 Flops, I'm not sure you've at any point actually thought about what these flops means

basically Due to Disney's Astonishingly High other hits this year, It makes the Losses from the 2 Flops Minute

Disney Lost about 100 Million On Solo....about 75 to 100 Million on Wrinkle and Will either break even or lose a tiny amount on CR(less than 25 M)....So those 2 flops you keep bragging about Literally accounted for Maybe 200 to 225 Million in LOSSES

Now had Disney had a off year or even average year....Those Losses could have been bad

But due to Disney producing 3 Films that Literally had HISTORICALLY high Profit rates....Disney Literally produced the 3 highest earning Profit Films of the year....Those LOSSES from those 2 flops are Literally LESS than 10% for Disney

Disney Is currently over 2 Billion In PROFIT for 2018...that Means including The 2 flops you keep talking about Disney Is Over 1.8 Billion In Profit this year....thats Literally Hundreds of MILLIONS more than WB and every other studio

queen these are facts and things you need to think about before trolling...

right now WB is currently at around 1 Billion or Less in Profit for this year.....

Hypothetically speaking if Disney was Having A "WB year" and was only at around 1 B in Profit, Then Those 2 Flops would be very big because They would be representing 20 to 25% of The earning LOST....

But because Disney had Record breaking films that had Astonishingly High Profit Margins that has lead to Disney easily Dominating The year again...Those 2 Flops, only equal a tiny LESS than 10% Loss in earnings...

in conclusion....even when you WIN ......You still LOSS queen....

Yes Disney had 2 HUGE FLOPS, unfortunately for you those 2 flops can bring you very little joy because Disney Produced 3 Record breaking Hits that once again Lead them to easily dominate the year(dominate WB) and made the losses from the 2 flop Minute....

As for the future of WB/DC Film

^^^

Thank you for referring to the future DC films as "WB/DC"...Instead of the DCEU....as The DCEU is now failed,DEAD and a Past Memory , Its big of you that you are not arguing this point and seem to simply be moving on


I have a feeling it is laying the groundwork for a VERY hot run starting with Aquaman this Christmas and with Shazam in the Spring with Wonder Woman 1984 exploding a few months later

^^^

Well I hope for WB's sake Your "feelings" dont work out like usual because the Last "Feelings" you had toward DCEU films were catastrophic Failures for you and the DCEU film....as you spent 2 months relentlessly claiming "Justice League was going to be RED HOT coming off Wonder Woman" guaranteeing the film would top 1 Billion and easly out Grossed Thor 3 and Opening higher than Thor 3.

you also then had the "Feeling" for some odd reason that "Justice League was a real Crowd Pleaser and that would bode well for its Long Term prospects"

basically, you are the last person on earth that should be talking HYPE for DC films or prospects as you have proven you are terrible at judging HYPE for DCEU films....

PSS, I do not think you are entirely wrong to expect at least BETTER results from Aquaman, Shazam and WW84.....These films Look absolutely nothing like The other DCEU films, WB has Full on shifted to copying Marvel Studios Light and Humor Tones....The reign of dark,depressing and colorless tones of Snyder is over....These upcoming DC films Literally look like they were made by a different Studio.....Both Aquaman and WW84 were intentionally written to distance themselves from the DCEU and failed Justice League, and to be self contained SOLO films.

simply put, It cant get any worse, These New DC films have to at least have some uptick in Box office and quality....

Now I do not know if that increase in Box office will be "MCU type success" or the success your wanting.....But the facts are when you have 4 out of 5 awful DCEU films that were Universally hated, when you have a universe as a whole completely rejected, When You have Box Office Declining with each film and Box office never meeting expectations, when you Have Multiple BOSSES being hired and fired during a 3 year span in an attempt to run and fix the DCEU films, when decided to Let 2 actors as big as Cavil and Affleck go and decide to reboot....things cant get worse....

I too expect These New DC films to Lay a Good(Or at least Better Groundwork) for success and future Success....But I truly dont know how much that is saying, considering just how Low The bar has been set by the previous DCEU films


could you please define your expectations....how much do you think the exploding WW84 is going to make.....How much do you think The RED HOT Aquaman and Shazam is going to make

keep in Mind you've criticized The box office of Thor 3, Black Panther Ant-Man 2 and Even Avengers IW.....in all cases you literally tried to make the cases thier box office wasnt impressive.....so I got to ask, If their box office wasnt impressive, how much do you think these upcoming DC films are going to make? clearly you got to be thinking they are going to make as much or more than these MCU films right? I mean You are claiming they are RED HOT and are going to explode....

apparently according to you Thor 3 opening to 120 M+ and 850 M+ WW isnt exploding or RED HOT since you trolled on its box office for 2 months....so clearly you expect Aquaman, Shazam and WW84 to top Thor 3's box office right?

reply

Too early to tell on Shazam or WW1984 but judging by the latest extended trailer for Aquaman I am predicting at least 135 million OW.

Ok several questions here...

1. what about World Wide gross for Aquaman....again I ask because You seem to be predicting amazing box office for Aquaman but You've kinda backed yourself into a corner by your trolling on Thor 3 where you constantly claimed it wasnt doing impressive box office....So I can not imagine that The "Amazing" box office your predicting for Aquamans total box office can be any less than Thor 3s box office which you were not impressed by right?......so basically you expect Aquaman to make more than 850 M WW right?

2. Do you find it ODD that You predicting At least a 135 Million dollar Opening for Aquaman and talking like its GREAT and RED HOT....Yet you somehow trolled on Black Panther's 200 M+ opening weekend and criticized it like it wasnt impressive

I Mean theres not Much difference here...BOTH Black Panther and Aquaman had their debuts in HUGE movies to get fans and audiences interest with Civil War and Justice League, Both Then went on to have SOLO films(and based on the Aquaman trailers, Aquaman damn near has the exact same story and plot as BB)

So I ask, Why do you consider A 135 Million Opening RED HOT and Great.....Yet You trolled not stop and criticized A damn near Identical film under identical circumstances for having a 200 M Opening and 1.3 B+ total

It seems to me, based at least on your standards, Aquaman would need to open over 202 Million and make more than 1.350 B for you to really claim its RED HOT and Impressive(Now obviously in the real world it doesnt need to make that much) but unfortunately at least for you and due to your trolling, thats the corner you've backed yourself into, you simply can not claim Aquaman is RED HOT and Doing great if it makes LESS than A film you spent 2 months trolling and claimed box office was NOT Impressive!


has for Shazam and WW84.....at least tell this.....

Your certainly expecting Shazam to make over 622 Million WW right.....I mean my god the trolling you've done on Ant-Man 2 is astonishing, Your certainly not claiming Shazam is RED HOT....Yet not expecting it to make more than AM2 right? You have made it perfectly clear you are not impressed by AM2's box office of 622 M WW.....therefor theres no way your when you say you expect RED HOT box office from Shazam that you'd be happy with anything less than at least 623 Million WW for Shazam right?

Next With WW84....are you still certain its going to out perform WW1 ?

remember, when I predicted DP2 would make Less than DP1 in every way, You literally Laughed at the thought of that being possible....I then told you I expected the same thing from WW2 and Black Panther 2....

and again you damn near had a meltdown at the thought WW2 could make LESS than WW1

so while it may be too early to give a prediction, can you at least tell if your still confident WW2 will make more than WW1?

I'll go first..I'm still confident WW84 Will in fact make LESS than WW1....I do believe WW84 will have a larger OW than WW1 but Will fall short both of WW1s domestic and WW total

WW84 will have 2 Huge things against it, There wont be near the "Women's movement" behind it like WW1(so you know I'm not biased, I feel the same way about Black Panther 2 too) and 2nd Justice League Will have some effect on WW2....as WW lost a large portion of its audience in only 6 months from the release of WW1 to JL....its quite concerning that literally almost 20%of the audience that saw WW1 did not show up to see her 6 months later in JL....then you have the ones that did show up and they saw an awful film where WWs role wasnt good(in fact it was so bad, after Patty Jenkins saw the film she demanded Joss Whedon be fired from The DCEU for what he did with the role of WW)

bottom line..WW2 IMO Will be a big hit, But Like DP2 will make slightly less than its predecessor, My prediction..750 to 780 Million WW......again can you at least say, do you still expect WW84 to out gross WW1

Jezz! Your grammar is just as atrocious as queen's box office predictions, I mean really
"you can literally "had" up every single Hit WB has had this year, and it does not equal The Profit Disney Made from just 2 movies in Avengers IW and BB"... Is it that easy to put "had" when the word should be "add"? You hardly ever even use apostrophies when putting two nouns together like instead of putting we're you put "were" , seriously are you truly retarded or do you just act this way so that queen doesn't feel so mentally inferior? You're probably barely capable of even adding up all of these box office totals dumbass, lol!

reply

I think this is at least the 3rd time you've responded to tell Me How awful queen and I am.....

I get it, you do not like either of us, and you think our feud is stupid and you love pointing out my awful grammar.....


But the thing I can not understand is why you dont just Block me so you never have to read my awful grammar again..


again this is many times that you have responded with similar responses, Meaning for some ODD reason you continue to read "Me RETARDED posts, Filled With Grammar mistakes"...I mean you literally do not even believe I've capable of simply math like adding up Box office results...Why do you continue to read posts that you have made it perfectly clear you feel are worthless?

I'm sorry, I not going to say anything BAD back to you, I dont have any problems with you....I even understand why My posts about queen would bother you...they are quite long and Immature.

but I just dont understand why you bitch about them and continue to "REPLY" to tell me my posts are basically "Not worth replying to".....

I have no doubt you believe what you are saying, You think I'm extremely dumb, and my post's are Idiotic.....I too feel this way about certain posters or when I read A weird post....But I simply Block that person and move on....

I dont continue to read Posts that I deem are stupid....and I certainly would continue reading posts from someone I actually thought was RETARDED or Mentally challenged....

please just block me so you dont have to see My RETARDED posts anymore, because I'm going to be honest....They arent going to stop, Queen wont stop trolling and I wont stop ABUSING HIM

Or dont block me, but at least be honest when you reply, admit upfront that Your clearly reading my posts because you hate me and are intentionally responding to try and say mean things because My Posts bother you!

lol I just Hate/Thinks its incredibly ODD getting replies from people basically Telling Me "Hey Your posts arent worth replying to"....thats basically what all of your replies have been to me, You tell me how dumb I and my posts are, How I'm retarded and how my posts to queen are pointless"

Yet for some ODD reason your still reading them and still REPLYING to me.

again please Just Block me...or go FULL ON Hardcore and start responding to every post of mine....

Basically what I dont understand is you kinda backed yourself into a corner By the things you said about me....Your opinion is so astonishingly Low of me, Its extremely Odd that you would continue to read posts from someone that your opinion is so Low of....

you truly are saying you believe I'm RETARDED, Mentally challenged or are so dumb I'm not capable of simply Math....any of the 3 options are bad enough, 2 of them are actually SAD and would be out of my control if I did in fact have them....

Yet despite having the opinion that I may be RETARDED or Mentally challenged, You decide to Reply and say awful horrible things to me....

again it doesnt make sense, first it makes you a horrible person to Make fun of someone you believe has a disability but second, why on earth would you want to read or reply to someone you thought so low of....I hate queen, But I do not believe he's retarded or Mentally challenged....BUT IF I did, I would imediately stop talking to him

In fact on several occasions, I've questioned if queen might be a young child playing around on a computer and doesnt fully understand the things hes saying....I asked Queen several times If this is true just to PM and let me know because I dont want to BULLY him if he's really a child....I've even PM him and said Please let me know if your a child, I swear I wont post it and I'll never respond to you again...

the point is....I get that you are trying to intentionally say mean things when you respond to me....but the things you said backed you into a corner where they ONLY make you look bad....

You either are intentionally making fun of someone you deem might be retarted or Mentally challenged or Your continuing to read and reply to posts from someone you believe is either retarded,mentally challenged or so dumb you believe they can not even do simply math.....again I ask Why on earth would you spend 1 more second of your time reading/replying to a person that you think that Low of?

@Bill Brown

Let's take any further discussion of the coming hot streak for WB/DC Films to the appropriate boards of Aquama/ShazamWW84 from here on out.it's silly having a drawn out conversation on the Hell Fest board.

reply

Why are people talking about superhero movies HERE??? As if they're not everywhere I turn as it is.

Hell Fest is simple minded fun - a straight up slasher flick with no pretenses. It had SIX writers so you can see where too many cooks in the kitchen had a negative effect, but it's definitely watchable.

reply

Predictable. Character aren't great. Sets, production and lighting are awesome.

reply

Fun slasher. One really annoying character and a couple nice kills. I was real glad to see they didn’t just cut away.

reply

its ok

reply

Bog standard slasher which is kind of refreshing for the time. It didn't pull me in but didn't bore me either. Like someone else said, it really needed titties. There is a reason those old slashers were so fun to watch.
