I think the worst part about the contrast between "Jump scare" vs. "Disturbing/unnerving" scenes in horror is that today's major audience might not like the latter simply because they don't LIKE having fear after the movie. They don't like being scared THAT much, and therefore might not recommend a really deeply horrific film BECAUSE it made them uncomfortable or scared. It's almost like a roller coaster ride for them: they love the ups, downs, and adrenaline rush during the ride, but they definitely won't like it if it followed them after getting off. In my opinion a great horror film -- The Thing, 28 Days Later, etc. -- will force your mind to remember it at the worst of times, when you're alone and it's all dark and the only thing you can hear is your breath. IT (2017) is a fantastic rollercoaster ride! Very stylistic and visually striking as a film. It shocks the audience, but not enough for them to go back home and leave the lights on; just enough to feel spooked but feel normal the next day. I heard some of my friends stating that IT was the scariest film they've seen in a while, but like I said: I think they were just riding an adrenaline ride of fun rather than actually feeling that gut wrenching fear. Now, I'm not saying the original IT is better or that the newer IT is better, or if making horror films into "rollercoasters" is even a bad thing -- sometimes having a movie frighten you for a couple of days isn't the most fun -- but I do believe that's where cinema is taking the horror genre now. Fuck. Why did I spend this much time on a comment no one will read.

I don't know if "Today's audience" is that apt a term in all honesty. More like just "Audiences". This mentality isn't exactly new. It has prevailed since the dawn of horror. Universal was quick to start turning their horror series' into action, comedy or drama over horror (See the Frankenstein, Mummy and Invisible Man series' in particular for this), this cycle was seen again with series like Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street generations later. I'm sure you know why as well as I. It's the natural progression of something exiting a niche and entering a mainstream environment. Horror on what a super-fan would call a "Pure" level isn't exactly the most marketable to the broad demographic and the real money of the horror-market has always lied with the "Superficial horror-fans", pardon the rude way of putting it. Hell, light-horror is something I, as a massive horror enthusiast, often encourage, dismissing the notion that all horror should always be unpleasant or even made to be scary. There is great joy in things like the second half of From Dusk Till Dawn or Brain Dead. I guess the problem is just over-saturation. With horror bigger than it's been in years, those that caused horror movies to dry up in the first place are now once again keen on striking the iron and the focus is now on the broad demographic, leaving those with passion for the subtle and surreal to starve. Or maybe it's all just perceptive. After all, quality horror has always been scarce. It's just that now alot of "Standard" horror it is being dumped on our lap at once, so finding the gems takes more effort and makes it just seem like horror is in a worse position than it actually is. Nothing has really changed, just that the scarcity of really "good" horror movies is further punctuated by how much "bad" horror is out there.

Jacob Lynch our of the whole town the losers club were truly victimized by not only the bullies but by their personal home lives. Especially Beverly. That’s what drew them together and ultimately gave them there power over it. Pennywise loves playing with his food. Out of all the children in dairy those losers were basically marinated. They were the easiest meal he could find. Unbeknownst to Pennywise all the losers had a little of the shining. Giving them a “spidersense”😎 that kept them on the run. Which Pennywise didn’t mind because the town is his web. And having ran from Pennywise would taste that much better later. Unfortunate for Pennywise they would find strength in their belief in the love for each other and in not being afraid of Pennywise. Which weakens him and makes him/her/it afraid of the losers club.

It's weird to say this, but Tim Curry as the clown was subtle, despite being completely over the top. When Georgie discovers the clown in the storm drain, Tim Curry acts like how a real clown would act, entertaining a kid. The situation of a clown in a storm drain is what's making it creepy despite both the kid and the clown acting normally. Then the clown starts saying weird things but in a cheerful way which causes the back of our minds to tell us something is seriously wrong. THEN that's when the teeth come out. It isn't just a jump scare, loud noise, scare chord or annoying fast-forward editing.
@scabsgunnsandpeanutbutter88387 жыл бұрын
While Tim acts like a real clown, that's not how Pennywise is presented in the book. Him being an otherworldly being with no real physical form, he doesn't fully understand what having one is like, or how to act human and they nailed that aspect in the new film with his eyes looking in two directions/never making eye contact at all, the slow and off speaking pattern, the drooling, and the erratic movements. I would have liked there to not be a loud noise or a silly shot of him like, chomping his arm like a cartoon, but once it's on Bluray it can be easily edited to remove that kind of stuff.
@jvictor30487 жыл бұрын

I don't dislike Curry's portrayal though, he's also good in his own right. I also liked the arm chomping scene.

To add to a conversation from nearly a year ago, I think that the Jump Scare is bad because it doesn't ring true to the "true" definition of horror. When reading around about Cosmic Horror, I heard one of the best examples of what real horror should be. "True horror in media is when you are afraid to go to bed. It lingers in the back of your mind. It's the kind of horror that makes you instinctively feel like you are not alone in a room, but you aren't afraid to turn around. You can just feel it cast a shadow and be unsettling." That to me, is a good baseline to go for when making a horror movie.

I honestly think that the Jump Scare has killed the modern horror format. Many of the scariest horror films of all time didn't have one jump scare and relied on storytelling, mood, and subtleties to create a disturbing atmosphere. Now, people seem to have forgotten the difference between being scared and startled. A quality horror film should stick with you long after it is over because it scared you, this can't happen if all the scares are just loud noises that make you jump. I remember all the best horror films I have ever seen used to make me afraid to leave my room or go outside at night when i was younger they affected me so much... I don't think a film has had an impact on me like that since the first time I saw The Ring 15 years ago.

No, it's a metaphor. He's using the stew as a representation of the movie, not as a reference. A simile is something like "His eyes were like fire" (dangerous, intense, etc.) - it's a comparison of qualities/attributes. If he was saying "The film is like a stew" to imply that the film is warm, comfortable, homely, etc. (or even just "it has ingredients") THEN it would be a simile, but that's not what he was doing. He's using stew ingredients as a substitution for film ingredients in order to illuminate what does and doesn't work. It's a metaphor. I know high school teaches "'like a' or 'as a' = simile, 'is a' = metaphor" but it's not that simple.

Ben doesn't need to notice it for it to add tension and suspense to the movie. There's a Hitchcock quote, where he explains suspense, and describes a scene in which two people sitting at a table are having some innocuous conversation, but the audience knows there's a bomb under the table that will explode within minutes. If we decide that something being spooky isn't reason enough to include it in a spooky horror movie, we can also view it thematically. It serves to enforce the idea that there's something wrong with the adults of Derry, they can't be counted on by kids for dealing with this threat. You've got abusive parents, people driving by in a car without giving so much as a stern words to the bullies in the act of mutilating a kid, pharmacists hitting on underage girls, and a creepy librarian hungrily watching a little boy as he reads about a disaster in which dozens of children were blown to pieces. The kids are on their own, nothing else can help them.

I thought the final shot was well done, albeit a little "expected" (in the sense that it was the "horror" movie cliche money shot). Keep in mind it was a film made with a several thousand dollar budget. The second and third were pretty bad in comparison, and had small remnants of what made the first so unsettling, and they had a few clever shots (like the scene with the furniture falling from the ceiling). I didn't see the last one because by then I was checked out.

TeddyShrooms That's called a cut. It happens when a movie wants to cut between shots? I kid, but I'd remain pretty steadfast in it not being a 'jump.' There's an art to the buildup, and the slow walk towards her own corpse. This startles you in the same way the too close shots in Inland Empire screw with your sense of comfort, it's very unsettling when films actively break your personal space. It gives you a brief moment of respite, then puts you back in front of the corpse, taking you way to close to this familiar yet unsettling image.

The doppelganger either rushes at Alice or Alice throws her phone at it, very hard to tell what's happening. The first part wasn't a jump-scare I'll agree, but that's in part to disarm you. You think the scare is over. It's masterfully done, probably the greatest jump-scare in cinematic history, and so earned.

I just found this channel recently and I wasnt entirely sure how I felt about it (reviews are typically not my thing) but after the past few days of watching, I knew I really enjoyed them and there content when I got home from a shit day at work and didnt feel relaxed at home till I heard that little piano entry. Fucking grade A content

When I was working in customer service one of my customers, who was a Stephen King fanboy, told me that if I read "IT" and didn't like it, he'd buy me any other book of my choice. So, I read "IT" and didn't like it - and he called me a liar and refused to buy me another book. I thought the chapters with the kids were mostly great, and the chapters with the adults were terrible. In the end, the adult story and the gangbang drug it down too far and I came away feeling like I'd wasted my time. I am not a big fan of King, anyway. He has written a few books that I've enjoyed - Pet Sematary, Christine, The Stand - but he relies on way too much filler and if you actually break down some of his descriptions, beyond their first impression, you realize they are nonsense. I tried rereading "Salem's Lot" but when nothing happened in fifty pages I realized it was pointless.
