been thinking this one over. it's really not overtly frightening, but the movie is subtly terrifying, kinda dwells in the subconscious.
As part of the audience we were also involved in the ritual.
Just as gullible as the hypnotist suggests, perhaps thinking we'd get away from the movie unaffected.
it was done well in fight club, not a huge fan of the dick one at the end since i watched it with my dad and it was really awkward, (was that bradd pitt's actual dick?) but the ones where he faces the camera and speaks to the viewers is really cool especially if you dont know it will happen
Hang on, so if johnny looked at the camera that's the same thing? Didn't know that meant 4th wall

almost every book to movie adaptation breaks away from the book, you can’t possibly cram every detail and event from a book into a movie, its still a great movie
It follows the book pretty much 1:1. What I was pointing out was that it changes the ending (not that it leaves stuff out). I'll bet you're one of those morons who didn't realize Project Mayhem was a cult.
>What I was pointing out was that it changes the ending (not that it leaves stuff out).
yes.. as many book to movie adaptations do >I'll bet you're one of those morons who didn't realize Project Mayhem was a cult.
it wasnt a cult, it was a club, a group can only be a cult if they are wishing and invoking harm on the public.
>it wasnt a cult, it was a club
Absolutely filtered and I called it. It was a cult, moron. The point is that the people who join it sublimate their agency to a false prophet. >brainwashing abuse >shave your head >take away your name >make you wear all a nondescript uniform
It's like what the military does only dialed up to 11.
Seriously, I can never get over just how many morons Fight Club has outed. You know the violence was ironic, right? They're trying to reclaim themselves from a bankrupt society by destroying their bodies.

you can actually. I read silence of the lambs recently and I can't think of anything that's not also in the film. or if they did cut something they didn't do it out of need for shorter runtime.

He literally verbally/physically abuses them, takes away their names, brands them, makes them shave their heads, and live in a commune (while he does whatever he wants and makes the rules). Holy shit, how are you not getting this? >the military comes with a contract
Holy shit! You're so fricking dumb. Why do you think the military does those things to recruits, moron? It's to mentally/physically break down individuals and turn them into an order following unit. I wasn't saying the cult comes with a contract you mouth-breathing moron. >and this matters why?
Ah, so that filtered you as well. You see, irony is a narrative device wherein an expectation is met with its inverse. In this case, proto-cult members believe they're reclaiming themselves from a social system that treats them as cookie cutter disposable units but what they're really doing is destroying what they think they are reclaiming. The physical violence part, destroying something they think they're claiming, is pretty on-the-nose and you're a complete moron for not picking up on it (frick, they ever have a scene where Brad Pitt specifically states to the audience "I wanted to destroy something beautiful").
Shit you're dumb. You'd literally join a fricking cult if one came along. Frick, lol. Go apologize to your parents and ask your mother why she didn't swallow you.

why? because YOU as the confused reader has labeled the club as a cult and therefore in YOUR viewpoint of it all, see all the actions and beliefs of the club as some cult that is some repurposed version of their previous lives as wagie slaves despite doing little to nothing to expand and help those up high that they were previously?? but yeah since you say its satire, that totally makes sense

he's not a cult leader, nor is it a cult, he just knows what needs to be done, not only for his own gain but the gain of ALL MEN, if wanting the best and to help men escape the rat cage they were forced in their whole lives equates to being a cult leader than so be it, >It's pretty funny that you idolize him

>Book: Target is the Museum of Natural History (an entirely different symbol that underscores just what nihilism is aiming at).

He embraces her, starts making out with her (even though he just shot himself in the mouth, kek), The Pixies blare, and the bombs go off in the background. There are no consequences and all irony is lost.
P.S. Most morons miss the use of irony in the story as well, for example: >the violence of the Fight Club is ironic: the characters destroy their bodies in an attempt to reclaim them >they don't catch that the Fight Club develops into a cult (i.e. Project Mayhem) and its adherents merely sublimated their personal emptiness/lack of agency into a destructive nihilism that's the same thing (only reactionary)
Basically, the story is about cultural malaise from a masculine perspective (represented by consumerism and illusory social connections that result in the destruction of the personal identity of the individual and, on a larger scale, a social stratification devoid of meaning or real value) and the turn to nihilism that results from it. The differences between the endings of the book/film change the moral and, as stated before, the movie ends up becoming what it was criticizing.
you can actually. I read silence of the lambs recently and I can't think of anything that's not also in the film. or if they did cut something they didn't do it out of need for shorter runtime.
The problem i have with this movie is the same i have with Rebel Moon. It is too derivative.
This is essentially Ghostwatch with a couple references to real life occult shit as well various other movies.
It is well put together and i generally liked the movie, but it didn't do anything new or interesting.
this, it's rosemary baby's twist, watered down exorcist, some ghostwatch, and a over the top caricature of james randhi...it didn't even make much sense why do the ritual to just be a dwindling late night host?
shame because it has a campy style and a fun premise but I think they struggled
>i-i'm not shilling! >there's so many threads because the torrent came out!
It's a steaming uninteresting pile of shit and it's obviously getting shilled.
I'm still pissed that they didn't commit to the mockumentary aspect. Despite all of the things I did enjoy about the film (mainly the cast), the director also felt the need to use every shitty cliche from Youtube analog horror and creepypastas.
I wouldn't go so far to say garbage but it was uninspired. I think it would work better if they portrayed the host as somebody who doesn't believe in what The Grove does and just uses the connections, then he'd have to face that what happened to his wife was his own doing. Instead the revelation came out of nowhere and didn't have any impact.
Also: the fact that the girl wasn't under hypnosis was a small nice foreshadowing
Agreed. I also think the grove should've not been mentioned in the beginning, would've give the movie more meat in the middle to reveal that he was apart of a cult.
the skele intermission card was the only art poorly done.
You're example wasn't really "breaking the fourth wall" though. The central conceit is that the movie is the raw, unedited footage of a late night show. Her looking at the camera is something that happens regularly in real life.
This isn't breaking the fourth wall? It's a late night talk show. They all acknowledge the cameras.
Breaking the fourth wall would be if she started talking about the narrator at the beginning or referencing that you're watching it decades after it supposedly aired.
>lets make a movie about a late night broadcast, act like its found footage >except during the commercial breaks lets shoot it like a regular movie except in black and white >lets give a 15 minute intro about the events leading up to the broadcast, rather than reveal it through exposition (actually, lets do both for some reason! for instance, let's talk about the host's dead wife in the intro and then have a character explain it in depth during the broadcast!) >also lets add some AI goyslop art and outsource our CGI to a single pajeet in a warehouse using a windows 95 computer >lets make sure we do another little girl acting like the excorcist girl, nobody is sick of that shit yet, it still scares boomers! no no no, her staring into the camera isn't the creepiest thing in the entire movie, look theres a CGI GHOST!!! and if you look close she pops up a bunch!! spooky!! better give it a rewatch! >lets make the last 20 minutes the most painfully stupid shit imaginable, lets make the audience feel like walking out because its so ridiculous and stupid and clashes so much with the rest of the movie, that's a great idea
Frick this shit, you guys are generous with the 6/10. I loved the 'feel' of the movie once it got past the pointless intro, but the writer and director did everything in their power to take an interesting concept and make it into the dumbest movie imaginable. It's not dumb enough to be B shlock despite the shitty CGI, but it's not good enough to be kino. 3/10 at best.
I'll be honest with you anon, I only liked this movie because it's from Hollywood, didn't have Black folk and girl power.
10 years ago it would be meh.
Lol I enjoyed the movie but I'm gonna be 100% honest and admit the only reason I enjoyed it is because I was fricking absolutely blitzed high out of my mind so the entire time I felt like I was sitting on my couch in the 70s watching a live broadcast. Nothing in the actual movie was registering with me.
>>lets make a movie about a late night broadcast, act like its found footage
during the commercial breaks lets shoot it like a regular movie except in black and white
That's kino. I like when found footage movies shift into normal movies. Like that one movie where the group of people interview and follow a killer only for it change back to normal when the killer goes after them. I totally forgot the name of the movie
Can you guys help me remember that FF movie I'm thinking about? It was a meta movie going over all the slasher tropes. The killers name was in the title the first 2/3rds was mocumentary found footage while the last was filmed normally
it works sometimes
What movie?
Late Night with the Devil. It's pretty good up until the last 15 mins when it goes completely off the rails.
Late Night with the Devil. It's pretty good, especially the last 15 mins when it goes completely bananas.

Hang on, so if johnny looked at the camera that's the same thing? Didn't know that meant 4th wall
Her looking into the camera was great and they underused it. It's found footage so she's just looking into a TV camera.
>she's literally looking at Cinemaphile
Bros I don't feel so good about things I posted now...
Deadpool
It didn't break the fourth wall though, she was looking at a camera that existed in the movie.
I don't care just tell me who that cute girl is
https://www.instagram.com/ingridtorelli_
much like the cutie from "you were never really here" shes pretty much a no one
As soon as I saw her name this thought came into my mind
She was a great actress for a no one
Sorry chuds, she's not interested.
women change their views based on their man, anon
How did she age so quickly
aussie
it's over
All the molesting. Getting sexed as a child activates your puberty sooner and makes you age faster.
pure kino
Dedicated narrators who talk to the audience are kino, look at Barry Lyndon and Babe.
The problem i have with this movie is the same i have with Rebel Moon. It is too derivative.

shame because it has a campy style and a fun premise but I think they struggled
The part in the winnie the pooh movie where they get out of the hole using the narrators text was cute
soul
soi horror incarnate
i predict /film/gays will worship this movie
Pic related is literally the only scene where breaking the fourth wall in a horror movie worked
Just finished it.
A little too obvious.
A little too corny.
A little too safe.
And bad effects.
Like the safest most bland attempt at the horror mockumentary ever.
Last arc was shit.
What did the last part mean?
I thought it was great. Especially if you watch old Late Night Talk Show clips.
97% on rotten tomatoes?
critics are so cringe
the most half-hearted horror mockumentary ever
no fricking way it's an honest 6.5 at best
97% doesn't mean 97/100
Yes it does.
>i-i'm not shilling!
>there's so many threads because the torrent came out!
It's a steaming uninteresting pile of shit and it's obviously getting shilled.
She isn't really breaking the fourth wall, the camera is actually there in the story
Funny you should ask...
>breaks the fourth belt
>has this ever added anything to a flick
the only time I've ever seen it add anything was in Pee Wee's Big Adventure
I feel it works in Malcolm in the Middle and in Death Race 2000 (Remake)
Crossing the proscenium, as it were.
klaus kinski can do it
the end of All Hallow's Eve is exceptionally creepy. best fourth wall breaking in horror.
Terrifier 2 tourists never saw it.
no one over the age of 15 finds these movies good or scary
Breaking the 4th wall was pretty important in The Ring.
>It's ok to torture and murder them, yeah? It's fun and you agree by watching. You are to blame for all of this 😉
i watched this with my dad and he made me turn it off because it made him so upset
I stood up and applauded myself at the end.
>posts the american version
NGMI
I wonder what they would say to people that jerk off to guro.
I'm still pissed that they didn't commit to the mockumentary aspect. Despite all of the things I did enjoy about the film (mainly the cast), the director also felt the need to use every shitty cliche from Youtube analog horror and creepypastas.
is it worth watching? i'm a fan of David Dastmalchian
He's great in it, as is the girl. The ending is fricking garbage, though.
that's what i thought originally seeing from the trailer. thanks.
I wouldn't go so far to say garbage but it was uninspired.

Yeah it's worth it just for him, regardless of the rest of the films quality
>is complete and utter kino in your path
>perhaps the most meta movie ever
>never breaks the fourth wall
They always cast a hot 18 year old to play a much younger girl . It's like they want you to think you're wrong in the head
The movie constantly toys with the viewer. Her behavior was actually the demon mocking ppl's obsession with being famous
>has this ever added anything
worked for shakespeare
I blame the Ancient Greeks.
Deadpool ruined a generation of writers but the blame is always pinned on Disney and MCU movies
It was funny in Emperor's New Groove.
Not a flick, but the TV show Hustle made great use of it.
You're example wasn't really "breaking the fourth wall" though. The central conceit is that the movie is the raw, unedited footage of a late night show. Her looking at the camera is something that happens regularly in real life.
No. Breaking the fourth wall and going meta is the laziest thing a writer can possibly do.
4th wall breaks in videogames are better though because the player is actively involved in the story, not just a passive viewer
This isn't breaking the fourth wall? It's a late night talk show. They all acknowledge the cameras.
Breaking the fourth wall would be if she started talking about the narrator at the beginning or referencing that you're watching it decades after it supposedly aired.
>Ghostwatch but for hipsters obsessed with the 70s
original house of cards
>lets make a movie about a late night broadcast, act like its found footage
>except during the commercial breaks lets shoot it like a regular movie except in black and white
>lets give a 15 minute intro about the events leading up to the broadcast, rather than reveal it through exposition (actually, lets do both for some reason! for instance, let's talk about the host's dead wife in the intro and then have a character explain it in depth during the broadcast!)
>also lets add some AI goyslop art and outsource our CGI to a single pajeet in a warehouse using a windows 95 computer
>lets make sure we do another little girl acting like the excorcist girl, nobody is sick of that shit yet, it still scares boomers! no no no, her staring into the camera isn't the creepiest thing in the entire movie, look theres a CGI GHOST!!! and if you look close she pops up a bunch!! spooky!! better give it a rewatch!
>lets make the last 20 minutes the most painfully stupid shit imaginable, lets make the audience feel like walking out because its so ridiculous and stupid and clashes so much with the rest of the movie, that's a great idea
Frick this shit, you guys are generous with the 6/10. I loved the 'feel' of the movie once it got past the pointless intro, but the writer and director did everything in their power to take an interesting concept and make it into the dumbest movie imaginable. It's not dumb enough to be B shlock despite the shitty CGI, but it's not good enough to be kino. 3/10 at best.
i'm not reading that shit
the movie was kino
*leaves the thread*
I'll be honest with you anon, I only liked this movie because it's from Hollywood, didn't have Black folk and girl power.
10 years ago it would be meh.
Lol I enjoyed the movie but I'm gonna be 100% honest and admit the only reason I enjoyed it is because I was fricking absolutely blitzed high out of my mind so the entire time I felt like I was sitting on my couch in the 70s watching a live broadcast. Nothing in the actual movie was registering with me.
>>lets make a movie about a late night broadcast, act like its found footage
during the commercial breaks lets shoot it like a regular movie except in black and white
That's kino. I like when found footage movies shift into normal movies. Like that one movie where the group of people interview and follow a killer only for it change back to normal when the killer goes after them. I totally forgot the name of the movie
Huh, other fella? Why is James Bond looking at me, am I the other fella?
Just watched this movie. Was I supposed to like it? It wasn't scary at all.
DREAMER YOU ARE AWAKE
looking at the camera isn't breaking the 4th wall
what is the fifth wall?
When you finally turn around and address the people watching you for entertainment.
Can you guys help me remember that FF movie I'm thinking about? It was a meta movie going over all the slasher tropes. The killers name was in the title the first 2/3rds was mocumentary found footage while the last was filmed normally
The Rise of Leslie Vernon
Nvm I got some AI bot to figure it out for me. It's Behind The Mask: The Leslie Vernon Story
Sometimes it works.
