Apparently the new film will take place after the events of the first two original films. So it's basically going to be what Halloween 3 would've been if it had Michael Myers? I think

“You know, it’s not a remake. It’s actually, it’s gonna continue the story of Michael Myers in a really grounded way. And for our mythology, we’re focusing mainly in the first two movies and what that sets up and then where the story can go from there.

Green and I are definitely going to [do] a straight-up horror. Halloween has always been one of my favorite movies of all time. There’s a simplicity and an efficiency to that first one that I think allows the movies just to be scary as hell. And so Green and I, our approach is to get back to that.”

I think that's better than having another remake so I'm here for it.

Yes at a direct sequel to the original 2

(The timeline is such a mess)

[Cal.]

Just realised that effectively makes it a prequel to H20 and Resurrection.

Unless it's a brand new timeline from Halloween 2 onwards, sort of like how H20 erased the events of 4, 5 and 6

I can imagine the fans fuming if H20 was erased from the original timeline.

(I wish they'd just ignored the Thorn thing though and counted 4,5 and 6 and included the fact Laurie faked her death in a car crash and thought she was keeping Jamie safe by giving her up but then when she heard Michael got Jamie anyway she thought she might as well keep John close)

[Lostie!]

Yeah I'd be here for it being a prequel to H20 but ignoring Resurrection tbh

I read that they originally intended to have a scene that referenced Jamie but decided to cut it and just have it act as a continuation of the second film.

or Halloween 4 if they decide to go with the Jamie Lloyd timeline. I hope they don't though.

That would be perfect.

[Jason.]

I hope this new film is like H4/H20 in terms of quality. I have high expectations now JC is involved.

i can't decide if Hush is better than Don't Breathe

I enjoyed both but Don't Breathe edges it for me. I found it more enjoyable and jolting.

[Jason.]

I watched Inside the other day (one of Amy's home-invasion recommendations to Richard) and it was really good.

French horror never disappoints tbh. High Tension is another great one.

[Glenn.]

I just found out they are remaking Friday the 13th.

Mess they literally cancelled the remake the day you posted this I believe.

[Cal.]

The fact I'll be able to go and see the next Halloween movie in the cinema makes me so happy.

It's got a great storyline hasn't it.

Spoiler:

French horror is some of the best, there are some really good films about. Inside is getting a remake. I don't know how I feel about it...especially after the mess they made of Martyrs

[Denver]

Dont hush was sick especially when he was raping that girl just because she killed his daughter accidentally

Ooh I still need to see Martyrs (the french one), I didn't even know they remade it tbh. But yeah I'm not that big into foreign horror but I love French horror. I'd like to get into Asian horror too so I'll probably start with watching the original Ring and The Grudge soon

Have you seen Funny Games? I'm keen on seeing as it as I've heard good things and it looks really good. It's home-invasion and there's both the Austrian original and American remake (by the same director of the original).

I actually don't enjoy Martyrs tbh, It's a hard watch imo - but I did appreciate the intent and the acting was fantastic. The remake is awful, I can't think of a worse one in recent memory.

I have seen Funny Games and I love home invasion so it was right up my street but I ended up kind of hating it, one scene in perticular ruined it for me.

An obscure home invasion film set in the UK I quite liked is Cherry Tree Lane. Nothing amazing but pretty realistic imo

[Vanessa]

I like Funny Games because Michael Pitt is in it

[Jake.]

the first three paranormal activity films are slept on

[Amy Jade]

Just watching Don't Hang Up looks pretty good from trailers

[RichardG]

has anyone watched goodnight mommy

i read it's a film with a creepy arty slow paced tension rather than full on super scary. is it actually scary or is it like it follows or the babadook (i.e. boring)?

I watched it a couple of months ago, and I really enjoyed it. I found it very tense pretty much the whole way through, but I would say that it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Well worth the watch though!
