Terrible Movies Thread
Ikrik:
I'll throw in another terrible horror film: Dead Silence. It's made by the people who made Saw and it follows their tradition of having a great concept and not doing anything at all with it (Repo). It's a horror film about a ventriloquists doll. This has been done before, Puppet Master did it right, Dead Silence has no idea what it's trying to do. This guy gets this creepy doll on his doorstep one day and it ends up killing his wife. He goes back to his town of Ravens Fair and tries to figure out why the doll was sent to him and stumbles upon the legend of Mary Shaw. Shaw was this super famous ventriloquist who ended up killing a boy because he says "I saw your lips moving." She amazes the audience because then she and the doll both speak at the same time. The kid ends up going missing and the townsfolk cut out Mary Shaws tongue and kill her...time passes. I'll stop there because this movie is just so bad. The fact that Mary Shaw couldn't even take the slightest amount of criticism bothers me, all the kid says was "I saw your lips moving." That's all, and then she swears revenge on everyone in his family and eugh.
The film itself is composed of some nice scenery and has great atmosphere but the director has absolutely no idea what's scary. The main doll is so underused and 98% of the scares are jump scares. There's only one good character: Donnie Wahlberg. He plays a cop who thinks that the protagonist killed his wife and follows him back to his town. He's actually used really well in the film and was one of the only reasons I finished the movie.
Oh. And Dead Silence has a really, REALLY stupid plot twist that I totally didn't see coming but was not really all that surprising or shocking.

Did anybody mention Lesbian Vampire Killers?
Because it SUCKs,
It was the mystery movie in the cinema a few weeks ago and had I known that was coming I'd have gone and done something else.
JD:
Mary Shaw kind of overreacted there. Just a little bit.

Dean Teaster's Ghost Town is the shittiest movie I've ever seen. Even the title sucks.
I have no excuse.

So, I just saw The Spirit. It looks pretty and neat stuff happens in it, but I cared diddly-squat for any of the characters in it. Like, the movie probably would've been just as good without any dialogue. Take the characters from a Michael Bay movie, squash them with Transformers, and this is how flat the characters in The Spirit are. Sin City minus character development minus coherent presentation minus about 3/4's of the violence.
