The Identical (2014)

[The Identical (2014)]

It sounds hilarious, here is a funny review of it.

 

[Episode 85 — Color of Night]

The crew was startled about the similarity between Bakulas table and Dales work: Didn't Dale at some point mention that he made the table and the bed for Bakula?

 

I think that part is only in the extended version.

[Episode 85 — Color of Night]

 

Oh yeah... forgot that one as well.

 

I think everyone did.

[Episode 85 — Color of Night]

I saw the 2 h 20 m version also and while I didn't think the movie was very good I didn't have a hard time following the plot or the motivations at all.

I'm surprised they didn't talk about my favourite part of the movie. The parking garage scene where the car is about 4 floors higher than Bruce Willis yet is able to stalk him. There is no way in the hell the driver of that car would have been able to see Bruce Willis during this scene.

Also in the UK the word "color" is spelled "colour" yet the dvd of this movie is called "Color Of Night" in the UK meaning the title is spelled wrong over here.

If you go to the above website it shows you all the differences between the directors cut and the regular cut. There is a scene where he goes to an eye doctor and explains his color blindness so at least that part is explained better in the directors cut.

[Episode 74 — Halloween III: Season of the Witch]

The company are lucky that the one person that messed around with a mask and ended up getting killed by a laser just happened to be so near by.

[Episode 74 — Halloween III: Season of the Witch]

Oh shit. That explains why there was no mini-sode this week.

 

I'd just like to take this chance to air out a horror movie pet peeve.

 

I always thought the whole "horror movies are about punishing sex" trope has less to do with anything in the human psyche, and more to do with everyone not only ripping off Halloween, but not "getting it" in the process. Killing young couples having sex was part of Myers' character, resulting from a child's warped connection to his sister and catching her with another boy. All the knockoffs just figured "sex = death" and mindlessly ran with it.

 

Friday the 13th tried to make some connection with why the killer went after fornicating couples. It was loose, but it tried.

 

Then Wes Craven entered the slasher ring. He already had some twisted views on sex (Last House on the Left, anyone?), and popularized the whole "sex = death" trope we know today. Then he had the gall with Scream to declare that it had always been a mindless staple, dating back to the movie Halloween. No, Wes, you hijacked it from Halloween!

 

 

I'm curious if the HDTGM crew decided on Season of the Witch as being the worst Halloween movie, or if they just wanted to make the Nicholas Cage tie-in.

 

What about A Bay Of Blood? That pre dates Halloween and has a group of teenagers running of the have sex only to be slaughtered.

[Slumber Party Massacre II (1987)]

This movie is just insane, it has a psycho running around with a big guitar with a drill sticking out the end of it drilling people as he sings and dances. Nothing is explained, the "teenagers" look like they are about 25. I really feel that someone was high on something when making this.

[ATM]

 

Really stupid movie here, three people are trapped inside an ATM while a killer waits outside for them. The first plot hole shows it's face when they decided to park about 50 feet away from the ATM in a deserted car park, why?

Also it has one of the stupidest twist endings I've ever seen, it makes no sense and is not explained at all.
