I saw their trailer and honestly? It's not even necessarily about the gameplay anymore the way they set these trailers up annoys the fuck out of me. Who thought it was a good idea to make it so that trailers all follow the same theme of flashy jump cuts then shitty pop music all over everything? They keep doing it in genres that it simply doesn't belong.
Remember Game of Thrones? Remember when that had an awesome sound track and you could actually be hyped for what comes next? Now it's some crappy 'epic' pop music or whatever the fuck genre the normies listen to tons now BOOM BOOM BOOMing in the background and they've barely got the sound balance edited right because it's so obnoxious. It also seems like the music all sounds the same to me as well like they probably bought a library of the shit and are just throwing whatever at it instead of finding something that fits.
I know I'm almost nitpicking but when even their marketing material looks like shit these details really start getting jarring for me because it's so obnoxious.
Anytime I see rap hop in a trailer I tune out, it’s guaranteed to be a waste a time. There was a horror movie The Void that was better than anything recent though that was a 2017 movie it had a very real lovecraftian vibe, wasn’t a cgi shitshow and showed how good animatronics still compare to Hollywood laziness.
I've been meaning to see the void. I need time and no kids to see it though.
No boss women, no forced diversity, decent acting, great animatronics/ props, good use of a small cast but not feeling low budget it’s sad that this isn’t the standard versus the cgi crap thrust into every horror movie today. Probably the reason so many Asian horror movies stand out in the past few decades. There was a Japanese horror called infection that pulled off a similar hospital setting dread vibe, needed no cgi either. Definitely wasn’t a lovecraftian movie like the void though. Frankly overproduced movies like silent hill suffered because they went all in on cgi over props.
It makes me wonder how they would do a Halloween Horror Nights movie.
Just watch it anyway. Kids gotta learn sooner or later. I think I was watching Friday the Thirteenth parts 1 through 3 when I was 13.
You could always just lock the kids in the cupboard under the stairs. Hell, if you're really lucky, they might win a scholarship to Hogwarts as a result!
If I had stairs I would do that.
