Dishonest Horror thread
Juan Bennett
Julian Carter
never seen any good
Gabriel Thompson
What is dishonest horror?
Michael Price
This was terrible
Dylan Cook
I liked this movie a lot.
Hudson Harris
Genuinely don't get the love for this movie. Lingering takes and sparse ambience do not an effective or tense horror movie make. As someone unironically enjoys le ebin slowburn atmospheric horror, Blackcoat's Daughter was like it was trying mimic much better movies instead of doing what they did by learning from them. Really bland fucking story, awkward performances, just really pretentious.
Asher Perry
1st time I didn't finish it, gave it a crack again and unironically got under my skin, I finally understood why Yea Forums went on about it
Easton Moore
The demon was so fucking dumb looking however I think the gril was just a sperg schizo and she imagined that shit.
Kevin Thomas
>Implying you got a clear view of the demon
Isaiah Brooks
Any twist that relies on lying to your audience to pull off is a shitty twist.
Leo Green
That demon was a fucking pussy. He lasted like 1 minute of exorcism before bailing
Angel Gomez
Fell asleep and didn't know it was the same whore all along piece a shit movie!
Landon Moore
it's just one retard
Asher Walker
This 2bh. I'm assuming that's what OP meant by dishonest but honestly with Yea Forums I don't even know or care anymore
Jason Hughes
the only thing that the two actresses share is their lack of any acting ability
Boyton was nice though, still a piece of trash movie
Asher Jones
I get why some people don't care for it but if it is your kind of song and dance then yeah it's fantastic.
Josiah Phillips
People wanting to seem smart. There's literally two good scenes in the whole 16 hour movie. "You just didn't get it".
Oliver Martin
Makes it scarier when you find out how devoted to Satan, Sally is from mad men
Aiden Hughes
Anyone in her situation would feel the same. She was enchanted by the devil long before the boiler room scene. She knew about her parents death and in that knowledge found perverse power over others who did not know. Laughing at the headmaster for his foolishness, it was like she was a demon too. The power she must have felt, the freedom would be orgasmic.
It is no wonder she begged for him back, she must have felt so hollow without that relationship.
Lucas Peterson
I meant in real life but ok
Leo Wood
Fiction and non-fiction are the same thing.
Cameron Perry
The corruption of a young and desperate person by the devil is classic horror. Taunted with the knowledge her parents are dead and she is all alone in the world the girl turns to the only warmth left in her life and bows before it. With this new found power she does what she wants, she laughs at those who do not know what she does and kills as she pleases. But then her power and warmth is taken away. In desperation she kills more and offers the blood to the warmth she once knew, desperate to feel free once again.
A film about slavish desire in the face of loss. Her alien personality only helps dictate just how far she is from humanity. Horrifying if you can imagine such a mindset, boring if you cannot.
Ian Murphy
Why didn't she just turn to god?
>Inb4 god killed her parents
Carter Murphy
God did not tell her they died. God did not wrap a warm blanket of understanding around her and God did not befriend her at her most desperate hour. She was young and afraid of being alone. The Devil offered to be her friend and in their friendship she found the power to laugh over death and be a master of life.
Her later adventure back to the school is proof of her longing. She laughs manically once she realizes the people she is with. Surely this is his plan? Bring Him their heads and all will be right again. In the end did she meet Him again? Who knows, but her reasoning is clear. She forsook God for someone who seemed to care.
Ryan Moore
Everyone understood what the story was about, that's not the point. It was crap regardless.
Leo Price
Why's that?
Daniel White
But he also ditches her in the end? It's a nice film about not turning to the Devil
Daniel Moore
He was purged from her against her will. The end is ambiguous as to whether he comes back or not. He didn't exactly "ditch" her.
Anthony Sanders
There is nothing alluring about the film. You barely give a fuck about any of the characters. Also uses cheap gimmicks like simultaneously showing two timelines but not disclosing this until the end. This only serves to lead the viewer on thinking that there is something grand that is going to eventually happen when the two gals meet but it just goes "acktually those are just different timelines :)" and that's supposed to somehow be a climatic revelation? That's just lazy, my dude. You're just hiding information from the viewer and then expect that revealing the full picture is in itself a satisfying conclusion. That's not good storytelling.
Evan Ross
I thought showing her with him and without him side by side was a solid choice narratively. It showed how she was effected even after he left her. She was forever changed. In a way she WAS a different person without him so not knowing it is her adds to that power and the implication of what it meant to her. It wasn't until she killed that she felt closer to him and it wasn't until then that we know they are the same. I found it poetic.
As for not caring about the characters maybe it just didn't gel with you. I found the characters intentions and plights engaging.
