BigBossBalrog Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 BTW; Marvel released a Halloween Special (Fifty minutes instead of a full movie) called Werewolf by Night. I just found out about it today, and I was groaning when my Dad insisted we watch it. What drew me too it was the fact it was filmed in black and white, and was made to resemble a Universal horror movie It wasn't anything amazing, but it was damn solid action-horror movie. I was shocked by how gorey (people get there limbs cut off and get mauled by a Werewolf) and dark it is. About a hundred times more entertaining then any other Marvel project in the last five years Ya'll should give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few things that I think hasn't aged a single inch. He did good work. The music alone is enough to keep you on edge for the entire movie. One thing I really like is that all the characters are smart, grizzled adult men who can hold their own and behave logically throughout. It's so refreshing when most things nowadays are centered around idiot teenagers or pretty-faced supermodels with perfect hair and makeup so you can't forget that they're actors. The practical effects are also out of this world. Their movement can be a little uncanny at times, but they look so much better than 99% of the CGI stuff that's done today. They feel very real and present on the screen because, well, they are. The only things that I feel have aged are a few sound effects and the CGI space ship at the beginning. 1 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 Btw; has anyone seen Dark Night of the Scarecrow? It's an old made-for-TV special made by bloody CBS. The plot involves a southern backwater town lynches a disabled man whose blamed for a killing a child, and he returns as a Scarecrow to enact his revenge, wasn't bad They do alot of really creative things to keep the age rating down, but all the kills are really satisfying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpenter is a Fallout fan. The Master already looks like a Carpenter character. Give him the Vault Dweller’s memoirs and just let him adapt it into a movie!!! Nothing would be better than getting the Master of Horror to make a movie about the Master of mutants. Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't even mind him just working on an OST (That's his secondary profession ) for one of the games. He's the big name" fan of the series, so I would imagine Bethesda is aware of his love for the franchise. I personally think he'd nail (though I think he'd do Fallout material Justice) Dead Space more, cause it's basically the Thing in Space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 Oddly enough, his favorite game of all time is Assassin's Creed Blackflag (which is a respectable choice, but unexpected) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guy has been doing the music for Fallout since the ye olden days. I’m sure Carpenter would do a good job, but I wouldn’t make that trade. 11 minutes ago, BigBossBalrog said: I personally think he'd nail (though I think he'd do Fallout material Justice) Dead Space more, cause it's basically the Thing in Space I dunno, I think the retro-style and old school mutant body horror of Fallout 1 actually far more resemble Carpenter at his best than Dead Space. Though I agree he would likely do a good job with either. Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike last year which had a bunch of big releases, Alan Wake 2 is the only horror game I know that's coming out this month. So going to replay the Resident Evil Remakes (starting with 1) until that comes out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know 5 is probably gonna be next, but it would be awesome if they’d do Code Veronica after that instead of going to 6. Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remake 1 is a remarkably aged game that still looks and feels amazing. This game is twenty years old if you can believe it. In terms of tone, I think they made it dark enough it fits nicely alongside the newer remakes Code Veronica....would need alterations for a modern audience If I remember, the villains were incestuous aristocrats, and one was a legit crossdresser. And yet the opera singing leeches from 0 still ended up being more ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In George Romero's (sadly unused) scriptplay he wrote for his unmade Resident Evil movie, the Redfield were revealed to be half-Cherokee, which might be something Capcom might bring up to go around that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, the blue-eyed, ultra-white game versions of the Redfields being half Cherokee would be a tough sell. Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
