Story-wise, I think the only thing about that movie that I actally liked was that whole stage-by-stage alien progression, especially since you can tell the end stage in the movie isn't anywhere near complete, and only has further to go. I really thought they did a good job with that. And the music. And... eh... Michael Fassbender?
I've been looking at a lot of spaceship pics for a possible Stars Without Number game and keep coming back to the Prometheus and stills from the movie. It's beautiful. The story is okay, the characters, really stupid people who've never seen a horror movie. But the effects and the art design...
The worst thing is that if it wasn't Ridley Scott, I would have found it to be a perfectly serviceable sci-fi horror film. As it is, I kind of hate it.
Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
Mike Ness auto-awesomed What a weird show. Huge mosh pit full of dude-bros and middle aged dudes (and some badass chick with hemp purse that she never lost) stomping around like the freakin' Bushwackers from the WWF. Met a middle-aged english couple who used to be in the music distributor business who had been at a bunch of the same shows as we had over the last few years.

ReplyDeleteI love way too many terrible horror films for me to consider my dislike of this film fair at all.
ReplyDeleteIf I gave an artsy, pretentious name to this still, it would be Hubris.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to give a name to this still, it would be "touch of alien creature gives moron scientist ability to survive indefinitely without air."
ReplyDeleteBecause her spacesuit ran out of air immediately before this scene, and she ran back outside immediately after.
Hypersleep gives humans brain damage. It obviously wasn't perfected yet. It is the only logical explanation.
