Reply to I'm torn between seeing two movies I'm not really interested in seeing. What are your thoughts on Plane vs. Missing? by Help_An_Irishman
I would think plane is more cinematic so may benefit the most from the theatrical experience

Deadstream I guess could fit into the genre and it came out last year. It was a lot of fun though

Sp are you saying the movie should have been the same just without the jump scares? Or are you saying they should have made a different movie? If the former, the movie would have been very thin without the jump scares. This wasn't a Hereditary level script that could carry without any jump scares. Thenjump scares were part pf the sauce. But if you mean the latter, well I don't know what to tell you. 'They should have made a different movie' isn't really criticism. But I can see why you would want another Hereditary style horror movie.

Reply to Attitude towards old movies or movies set in the old time with not the best video quality + exploring new genres and whether it has anything to do with age during which you were introduced to them by RaspberryColalala
I feel like it's not uncommon for people from a particular generation to not watch movies made prior to their generation. This can often but something that is changed through their teens or univerity/early 20's as our minds naturally begin to expand with more experiences. But the opinion of your friends is not unusual. When I was growing up it was black and white movies. Anything black and white was a no go for many people myself included. I feel like it was the movie Clerks that changed this for me. It being a contemporary movie got me to watch it and it totally changed my idea on black and white and then I began exploring older movies.

Welcome to reddit. You can now peruse under the assumption that most users have indeed not read the body of the post, not read the article you linked, not watched the video you linked, etc. (maybe this isn't exclusive to reddit but it is very common here)

Reply to The Sixth Sense by Plus_Description2179
The biggest problem with watching the movie now versus watching the movie then is the 'Character was dead the whole time' trope is basically a meme at this point. Find a movie up for any sort of interpretation and you'll find people suggesting character X was dead the whole time and that's why the story played out the way it did. I don't know you but I imagine this is an idea that has seepewd it's way into your head just by being alive and on reddit today. When the movie came out back in 1999 this trope was notused frequently at all and was not a general theory for most people. It truly was innovative for many movie goers. So most people never suspected a thing even though we see the main character get shot at the very beginning of the movie. Today's audience is a little too savvy for stuff like that today. So unfortunately you missed out on our general ignorance of the 90's.

I don`t feel they need to remake Season of the Witch but I am onboard with the original idea of a new Halloween themed horror movie every couple years.

Been a while since I've seen it but I assume the doctor was a psychologist and the secrets had to do with her divorce and ex partner.

Reply to comment by ListenAllYallItsA in What's your favorite "fake out" campaign for a movie that was secretly a difference movie? by nicknacc
Trailers were posted under 'the new Justin long movie' as opposed to the name of the movie. Trailer starts out focused on him and feels like a normal justin long movie until the end. That's a fake out

Probably because of the reports coming out about how Kubrick emotionally tortured her during production.

Oddly enough I feel like the issue was less serious because if you orthe people around you didn't know then you just didn't know and were more easily able to move on. These days we all know the answer is two seconds away or at least should be so we need to know

Almost everyone I know and Drive Angry. I haven't met anyone that likes it and the prevailing opinion is that it's trash. However i think it's an amazing B movie and super fun. So I've stopped talking about it with certain people haha

And that is the most armchair psychologist way of looking at trauma. Everyone is going to react differently and also require a different treatment plan in order to best heal. Simply saying suck it up is so mind-numbingly lunkheaded it's literally thinking from a different century. How about we let the therapists and clients figure out how to best treat trauma and if that means adhering to trigger warnings for a time then what's the harm to anyone else.

First if all therapy is not always so simply sought given how expensive it it. But secondly a lot of people are actively in therapy which can sometimes take a long time before a person can live comfortably without side effects or sometimes never live without any side effects. Things can still trigger these people. And during this time of therapy and treatment they are generally speaking still living their lives and doing things like watching movies. So I think you should be more open minded to the idea of trigger warnings. It's not all overly sensitive people crying for attention. Many many people have actual traumatic or otherwise experiences that they are actively trying to heal from.
