Attack of the Clones.
Yeah. A lot of people follow the herd and find it fun to collectively mock certain movies.
I can speak for my generation and say I was a kid who went to see The Phantom Menace in cinema, I loved it and so did my siblings and friends. All the kids I knew were big fans of these movies. I get that some older fans back in the day were angry that the prequels didn't live up to their rosy nostalgic memories of the original trilogy but those movies are some of the most beloved of all time and as mentioned the nostalgia for them is insane. It's almost impossible to live up to that.
Yes sir.
The Phantom Menace.
I'm glad you liked it buddy but I'd be surprised if it's even in my top 5 horror movies for 2024 come December 31st.
It's hilarious how similar they are. I too prefer Immaculate though that wasn't even that great either.
I'm team Immaculate. It's 25 minutes shorter, has Sydney Sweeney and isn't weighted down by attempting to be a prequel to a celebrated classic.
The thing I'm pleased about most is that many reviewers are commenting on how gory the movie is.
On the topic of Terrifier 2. That got released in the USA unrated (it wasn't submitted to the MPAA, so it wasn't rated PG-13, R or NC-17). In a Violent Nature is also getting released unrated. So these movies are going a bit beyond the conventional R-rated horror movie, that's for sure. They're not bending the knee to the MPAA.
We could be. Part 2 did very well for a low budget, unrated release. It grossed $15 million on a $250 thousand dollar budget. From what I'm aware of part 3 isn't the finale! We'll be getting a part 4 as well.

<blockquote>In a Violent Nature is a slasher flick we’ve seen before, but innovation in the form of mostly situating the story in the killer’s unstoppable perspective, exceedingly graphic kills, and a slow-burn approach gives it an admirable edge.</blockquote>

You're not seriously encouraging him to go watch a movie because a child is nude in it!
The 13 year old was the one that stood out to me, not the college girl.
IMDb's parents guide will inform you why he's asking. 🤢
Who da fuck is dat guy?
Interesting to hear Skarsgård met Eggers all the way back in 2015 and has been offered several different roles in this. Worth noting that when they first met Skarsgård had yet to debut as Pennywise the Clown in It (2017).
<blockquote>Eggers mentioned Nosferatu then, and Skarsgård was eager for basically any role. First, he read for Friedrich Harding, a German ship merchant and a supporting (human) male character. That didn’t work, but he landed an offer for Thomas Hutter, the main protagonist.
...
Even so, Eggers still went in another direction, casting Nicholas Hoult in the role of Hutter this go-round. Skarsgård didn’t give up hope. There were other roles, right? Hell, he’d already read for Harding way back when. But that part soon went to Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
Skarsgård made peace with it. Sort of. “ ‘Robert and I are done!’ ” he jokes about how he felt at the time. “It was a fiery romance, but it never flourished!” Then, in a move that, to Skarsgård, felt like it came out of nowhere, Eggers reached out and asked him to read for Count Orlok. When the creative team was originally casting for the vampire, men in their mid-forties were being considered. Skarsgård would have been twenty years shy of that. But as time passed—and as Eggers and his team spoke with others in contention for the iconic role—the vision for the character transformed. </blockquote>
I noticed it too.
They do share some similarities...
Good movie. Good debut. Not a fucking chance in hell it's his best. The guy made Repulsion, Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown, The Tenant and The Pianist.
