I honestly don’t get this whole dynamic—you’ve got one guy who’s clearly looking to upgrade his rig without even bothering to say why... and then you’ve got a crowd of people jumping in to give advice without having any clue what the actual goal is!? 🤔
Utterly soulless garbage. The lead actors have all the charisma of someone who just found out their parents died in a horrific car wreck right before the cameras started rolling.
Jamie Turner80 said:I watched this a while back—it actually worked for me. Even though the details have sort of slipped my mind over the years... it definitely had that genuine sense of suspense.
Check out the deep dive here:
Personally, I don't think the tension was really the main point of the movie, even if it played a part...
Steven Newman50 said:Oh, great—speaking of stuff like that, I actually thought the movie was pretty solid... The Antichrist... Looking at Lars von Trier's work—honestly, I’ve picked up on so many parallels with Honeymoon... just those scenes where they head out into the middle of nowhere to "get away from it all" and really merge with nature, only for things to turn weird and ugly between the couple, which then starts dragging the husband down into the madness too...
How would John Waters describe this flick? He’d probably say it feels like Ingmar Bergman crawled right out of his grave just to whip up some depressing exploitation movie centered around sex, violence, and pure, unadulterated coldness... something like that.
It’s just more of the same—more violence, more blood, and all that other mindless stuff...
Ugh, I honestly can't stand movies like *Antichrist*. Aside from the obvious fact that they both involve money being thrown around in nature, I don't see any real, direct connection between the two...
Before I even bothered starting this thread, I tried plugging the topic into a search engine to see if anyone had already talked about it—but nothing came up.
goldenhound32 said:Honestly, this might be one of the better horror flicks we've seen in a while... definitely stands out from the usual trash they pump out these days.
I mean, honestly... what can you even do with three actors and one lonely little house? Not much, I guess. Respect to whoever actually pulled it off, though...
I'm looking for some recommendations... honestly, I've been staring at my watchlist for an hour and everything looks like garbage lately. Any good suggestions? Nothing too mainstream, please—I've already seen all the big hits everyone keeps buzzing about... just looking for something actually worth my time...
Exactly. It’s almost entirely practical—barely any special effects at all. If I’m remembering correctly, there isn't even a single shot that relies on CGI...
Man, I really loved this movie. 😁 It’s such a breath of fresh air. I had a gut feeling right from the jump that it was going to end up being super polarizing... people are definitely going to be split on this one.
A honeymoon out in the middle of nowhere. Turns out the better half is having a much rougher time than expected. Look, honey isn't the problem here.
I’m honestly stuck on how to categorize this—is it straight-up horror or more sci-fi? Either way, it’s an indie flick that really knows its stuff when it comes to building tension and that creeping sense of mystery... Just a heads-up: if you’re looking for mindless gore, limbs flying everywhere, or anything involving Satan, you’re going to be disappointed.
It’s not a bad flick. The concept itself is actually pretty interesting, and honestly, the execution isn't half bad either. But—and this is a big but—if a top-tier director had been at the helm, they probably could have turned this raw material into an absolute masterpiece... instead, it just feels like wasted potential.
If you haven't gone into your YouTube settings and paused your watch history, you can probably still track down everything you've watched right on your Google + profile. I’m pretty sure that’s how it works—I caught a glimpse of a setting somewhere that lets you toggle whether your YouTube comments show up on Google + or not. So, unless you've been messing around with the privacy toggles, everything should be sitting there on your Google + profile waiting for you...
Is there actually a way to shut off notifications for new comments on a specific video? For instance: I’ll reply to someone, but then I don't want my notification bell blowing up every single time some random person replies back to them... just constant clutter.
George Sanders37 said:If you actually manage to fill this thing with 200 GB of data and everything stays readable—well, I’ll publicly issue a formal apology to the manufacturers in China.
Usually, though, branded cards like this don't even drop below $100.
Honestly, though? I’m more interested in how many times you can pull off a stunt like that before the whole thing inevitably gives up the ghost. 😁
So, once you reboot the machine after all that, does it actually give you the option to "restore to last known good configuration"? If it does, go ahead and grab that. Just a heads-up though—you’ll probably lose some recently installed programs or mess up a few of your Windows settings in the process... it's a bit of a trade-off.
Otherwise, honestly? Just kill those automatic Windows 7 manual updates entirely. Only touch them when you're manually installing specific security fixes...
I actually downloaded the first part because I honestly thought it would be something my "friend" would appreciate. Man, did I ever eat dirt. It was so cringe I felt physically sick—I ended up having to apologize just to stop the secondhand embarrassment from killing me... 🤦
Lawrence Booth2 said:I don't know... I've been struggling with this one for days now It's a good movie, but feels hollow😁 There are some cringey moments
I actually downloaded it, but honestly, the vibe of your comments alone was enough to make me recoil. I even tried sitting through it, but after a few minutes, I just couldn't get past how incredibly dry and lifeless everything felt... nothing to grab onto.
Still, I guess it's fine that they're finally dipping their toes into this genre—maybe some actual talented directors can come along and breathe some life back into it... if we're lucky.
