Are those Manfrotto camera arms? I use the model 244 with the large tightening wheel - it’s a great heavy mount, not cheap - those look like older models?

So… five euro worth of TPE shaped into mouth and what looks like a cheap rotating motor turning a cam mechanism to push it in and out slowly from behind. What other snake oil electronics did they include. Utter garbage.

Instead of just being someone’s breakfast in 1940s he immortalised himself forever - clever pig

This is the trick. Make a horror where the characters are not stupid but the monster is not stupid either….

The actual idea in this X movie is pretty interesting - seems to be idea of old age being the horror - or the horror of getting old… this is probably scary to everyone. They certainly made the old people horrific looking. Not sure if this has been done before. To many people and especially to women, losing your looks as you get older is the horror they were highlighting in this.

Maybe

I have watched hundreds of horror movies over last 30+ years.

No

Yes but when you get locking in a cellar with dead guy by shotgun wielding maniac you don’t scream the house down and continue screaming after you have been let out and run out of house straight at maniac. Normal person would stay quiet and sneak out so maniac doesn’t hear them.

Main character yes was a string Ripley type character. The others were not though. And yes men in this were dumb as hell.

Yep. There is a lot of the Monty Python knight attacking the castle guards stuff in most horror movies!

Yes, so it —is— done on purpose

Look through the holes in wall slowly multiple times, when there is chance psycho is behind it with pitchfork…

That’s what I think. Nothing better than getting audience Adrenalin going and whip them into frenzy.

Yes this kind of thing happened a lot in this X movie. “Don’t crawl slowly FFS, get up and run!” I could mention more but would ruin the movie for others.

Well I don’t know that commercial, maybe only American one, but yes the best horror do not make characters do stupid things to make audience scream at the screen watching them.

True.

Maybe. I’m just still thinking of X and a lot of the girls in that definitely did stupid things, like over the top stupid. It’s like the emotions were exaggerated, the hysterics were magnified, the screaming was louder. I dunno, maybe it’s just that kind of female hysterics just triggers the male brain and wants to tell them to shut up and calm down ie act more like a male would.

Interesting take on it yes, it could be that. If they don’t do it on purpose they may just put stuff in, unknown to themselves, that is infuriating to anyone watching the finished edit. Some, like that scene I mentioned above does seem on purpose though.

Gamestream was buggy as hell though. My PC uses a multi monitor setup and last times I tried using it, it insisted on streaming the contents of the wrong monitor every time. Couldn’t fix it. Was taking the low level Monitor 0 from the buggy bios/ windows instead of letting me choose somewhere.

His program code does not understand ghost branches.

I love this. Really hammers home the point of every pretentious self centred twat causally (casually but I will leave that autocorrect mistake in because it is also true) going about their (middle?) class life and just producing tons of waste in environment without a second thought about it. Multiply those two by a couple of billion and can see how the Earth is being destroyed.
