Trailer: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea ... d=58363870

The trailer looks pretty interesting. I've seen the previous entires of the Final Destination series before and they are pretty intense, scary horror movies. I wonder how the 3D would work in The Final Destination.

DEATH BY CAR WASH!

DEATH BY ESCALATOR!

They're really stretching for it here, aren't they?

I saw the trailer for this before The Hangover. Everybody in the theater was laughing at it.

Can't be any worse than the torture porn in Eli Roth's Hostel movies.

Another perfect case in point.

Won't catch me dead watching those movies.

Hmm. Maybe I'm pretty much reacting to the whole body-count concept of it, it just makes me queasy, something very Rube Goldberg-ish about the way people (usually but not always teens) are set up like bowling pins to be knocked down. :shock:

(for example, that opening sequence for Ghost Ship, without giving it away, is another example of a contrived set-up that just makes you go...

?!)

I love a good fright flick, and that especially includes Argento, Bava, zombies, Giger's aliens, Carpenter, Raimi, Clive Barker, Lynch, and all the glorious mayhem that ensues in their movies, as well as exploitation flicks up to about the end of the 70's 8-)

..........BUT, something turned in the last several years that makes me kind of repulsed at what's being churned out these days. Especially those movies you just mentioned as well as the remakes of The Hills Have Eyes or Texas Chainsaw Massacre...or even The Hitcher.

What I mean by effects is the gore and skin they used. Again, like in Dawn of the Dead, when a zombie ripped a chunk out of someone, he looked like taking a bit out of a Hostees cake. That is not scary at all, that is just sad. If you want to disembody someone, you make it at least look realistic, not rediculous.

I didn't say I base a movie's quality on its effects and death scenes, but I watch horror movies to see people die, but hope there is either a good plot or good atmosphere to go with it. The Thing had all of these, as did the first three Saw movies, the first two Final Destinations, the Dawn of the Dead remake, etc.

As for Kaiju movies, I watch them for monsters blowing crap up, not for their quality work.

If watching people die is something you find entertaining, then I suggest this:

Funny Games (Austria, 1997)

or its American remake (same director) : Funny Games U.S. (2007)
