I heard the movie is already done filming, or at least all his scenes have been filmed already. He'll be in it still.
This sucks. I just recently bought Candyman on Blu-Ray too from Scream Factory. But I guess it's a good thing I got it when I did. It's possible either the Blu-Ray is going to go up in price, or everyone will start buying it because of Tony Todd passing away. I can see all the scalpers wiping out all physical copies and trying to resell at a higher price just because of Tony Todd passing away. But I can see people buying it too just to have it because of him passing away, or because they want to check out the movie or even re-watch it without having to turn to a streaming service.
Yeah, okay. Every horror nowadays and the last couple years gets slapped with the title of best/scariest horror/scary movie of all time, the year, the decade, the century, etc. That is pretty much what is being said about this new Nosferatu movie from that article. It's just being worded differently. But they are pretty much saying it's the best/scariest movie of the year like what was said about every other horror movie released throughout 2024 and the last couple years. That means it probably won't. Of all the horror movies I've seen between 2022 and 2024, either they are meh/okay at best, suck/terrible/waste of time, nothing special, forgettable, a mix of several other horror movies that did stuff WAY better, are one-time watches, or are Jumpscare City movies. So it's going to take a lot to convince me this Nosferatu movie is good. I am kind of interested in watching the movie after seeing the trailers, but I was also interested in Longlegs after watching the trailers. Longlegs ended up sucking. I guess I'll just have to watch the movie myself to see what I think. I can't believe what the critics and moviegoers are saying. And what the article says does not have me more excited. It has me leaning more towards the movie is going to be meh/okay at best since it's getting too much hype that a lot of previous horror movies get, which I thought all weren't as great as everyone claimed. And saying it's better than the rest of the 2024 horror movies isn't saying much since I thought the other 2024 horror movies I saw sucked. It's always possible though that Nosferatu could be my favorite horror movie of 2024, but right now it's hard to believe until I actually see it.
It was supposed to originally release in 2020, but a certain virus delayed it a year. Halloween Ends was supposed to release in 2021 as well. That got delayed a year also. Plus I think the original plan was to set 2018, Kills, and Ends all on the same night, but they changed that. The whole time jump between Kills and Ends is why I prefer the theatrical cut. The ending of the extended cut or whatever you want to consider it sets up that Ends picks up where Kills left off. So the time jump makes the extended cut's ending obsolete.
I the movie slightly more. Just because it has someone to root for. There is no one to really root for in The Penguin. They are all bad guys. Plus at times it would be nice to see Batman pop in and mess with stuff. Also, I just sit there thinking "Oh, wait until Batman returns (since it's said he's gone MIA after the events of the movie) and starts messing up everything you guys are doing in the events of The Penguin." Actually, I like both The Batman and The Penguin, but I have to go with the movie more. Just because the movie has someone to root for. I root for Batman more than the villains. The show is making Penguin an interesting character (I think I've accepted Riddler is my favorite Batman villain, and not because of The Batman either), but I kind of want The Batman 2 more. Also, The Batman is NOT boring. It's a really fast 3 hours. Plus it was The Batman that made me want to watch The Penguin. If I didn't like The Batman, I wouldn't be watching The Penguin.
I didn't mind it. And it landed exactly where I thought it would. I prefer the book and original miniseries more, but it's better than the Rob Lowe miniseries/movie. I predicted it would go book, miniseries, 2024 movie, and then Rob Lowe miniseries/movie. Also, I was just glad that they stuck to Ben and Mark being the final two survivors. I was worried they would kill Ben off and let someone else survive instead. When I heard they were changing the ending for the 2024 movie, I immediately went to either Ben dies or maybe Susan lives and there is three survivors. I wasn't expecting things to take place at the drive-in instead of the house and have some big fight at the drive-in. I know the Rob Lowe one kills off Ben at the end, which I didn't like, and also why I immediately went to/assumed Ben dies in the 2024 movie when I heard they changed up the ending/third act/finale. But they kept the two survivors the same from the book, so I appreciate that, and that's another plus. But yeah. Overall, I didn't mind it. I also liked it more than that Midnight Mass show. Oh and I would rather watch Salem's Lot 2024 again than that stupid Abigail movie.
I don't think it's actually said, but we can just assume they are white in the book, especially around the time the book was written/released. But I've seen the movie. Nothing to make a big deal about (and I've read the book and REALLY enjoyed it, one of my favorite Stephen King books). The main kid is race swapped and then I think the doctor character was both race swapped and gender swapped to a black female (I think the character was a white male in the book). But the movie never really focuses in on that stuff. If there is, it's near the beginning of the movie when the boy is being bullied at school. I'd have to re-watch that scene again, but from what I can recall, he was just being bullied because he is a new kid and his family just moved to the town. There is nothing like that related to the doctor character. But I'd probably put this race swap and even gender swap in the same category as making Kingpin black in the Ben Affleck Daredevil movie, or making Gordon black in the 2022 Batman movie. They really don't make the skin color or gender the main focus of the characters. They are treated like every other character, especially those that are white. Also, I'm pretty anti-woke too and didn't have a problem with the race swap and gender swap. This was pretty much race and gender swap done correctly. I think that if someone has problems with race swapping one character and race and gender swapping another character (at least for this movie), they have serious issues.
I gave her attitude a pass. I wouldn't say she was a bitch. Just pregnant. Pregnant girls/women can be a little scary. Women/girls go through a lot during a pregnancy. One moment they can be all nice and stuff, and then the next they are (figuratively) biting your head off because the smallest thing triggered them. I wouldn't say that's a myth either. I've been around pregnant girls/women numerous times throughout my life. Plus I've observed them as well when out & about. One second they are all nice and then someone does or say something wrong (or I've done or said the wrong thing around them) and they flipped out. So her behavior was pretty much the pregnancy taking over and making her so easily triggered.
Also, the movie didn't lose me like it did a lot of others when it got to the halfway point. I think my only major issue with the movie is that there wasn't more of a single person army to the movie. When I read the plot summary/synopsis, it sounded like she was going to be defending the diner and stuff from a bunch of bad guys and taking them all out with creative kills. It really wasn't like that. So the lack of that kind of ruined the re-watch factor. Not so much once the twist is revealed. Also, the ending was kind of weak. It just randomly ends and leaves it with sort of a cliffhanger ending. They should've wrapped stuff up a little better than just leaving it to our imagination on what happens next.
It's Wesley Snipes. And no it's not archive footage.
