The Relic, Mimic, Jeepers Creepers, mostly 90's monster horror / thriller / what have you, but also has that vibe... I don't know how to describe it. Maybe it's comfy, maybe it's the science, or the discovery, maybe it's just 90's nostalgia, but let's have a thread for these kinds of movies. Good shit?

the relic is surprisingly pretty okay

It was one of my favorites growing up. Despite the depart from the book, the creature design was pretty fucking good.

fuck, i love the relic. caught it on syfy ages ago, immediately went and bought it.

The Relic is great, no one cares about the book. It's a solid creature flick with interesting and likable characters. Now let us move along.

How about Godzilla, does it fit? Or is it pure shit?

Sorry I was just replying to the other guy, the thread topic is a bit unclear.

I'd say Godzilla was good for a 90's monster flick, though.

Does Deep Blue Sea qualify? I watched horror endlessly all through the 90's growing up, so I'll try to think of more.

How about Jillian C. Bass

The Relic novel was actually pretty damn good.

I wanted to like The Relic but the terrible CGI made it pretty hard to watch.

>caring about some bad cgi
pls

Deep Blue Sea absolutely qualifies. It's the perfect fit. top comfy

Lace Placid, Anaconda, and Arachnophobia are three others I remembered just now. Arachnophobia manages to qualify in despite not fitting perfectly. It being no massive monsters and 1990.

Mimic was gay.

The Kothoga is a genuinely underrated movie monster

what's the one where the asian chick gets sucked down a toilet

You forgot one, dude.

This shit had a very VERY slight silent hill vibe. There was even a giant moth like in the first game

Hell yeah Lake Placid.
>dat betty white tho

Glad DBS qualifies... I probably watched it a thousand times growing up. It was my Jaws. What's scarier than a shark with a taste for man? One that is aware of it's taste for man.

>jeepers creepers 3 is going to be a shitfest

A real shame. I enjoyed the first one.

While the CGI segments were done pretty good, the practicals were fucking GOAT. I was raised basically critiquing movies with my pops, and this one gave me nightmares.

I hope one day we have CGI that can compare to this, but even now we aren't there. Practicals might be seen as hipster/meme shit but fuck it does not get the appreciation it deserves.

Deep rising

Did that get the green light? I stopped halfway through 2 and haven't followed it.

Are they still doing that prequel thing?

aw shit yeah. The problem is I've already seen it so many fucking times. It's great. It even has Peter O'Toole in it

>A real shame. I enjoyed the first one.
probably cus Jeepers Creepers was made by a pedophile m8

>what's the one where the asian chick gets sucked down a toilet

It's not a coincidence.

Just thought, I think American Werewolf in Paris was 90's. First one was better, and Silver Bullet too but they're both way before.

What was that one... Bad Moon?

>you now realize two asian chicks get sucked down things in that film

The final CGI segment doesn't hold up at all and looks like absolute shit, but it's fine.

That's a great memory you have about your dad. I just found The Relic a couple of years ago myself and thought it seemed fine, so I downloaded it. I was hooked in a way I rarely am these days by movies. It was just so damn enjoyable.

The Relic monster shares some similarities with The Host (2006). It's not impossible that there's some inspiration. Incidentally The Host is also great but it doesn't fit the thread

Imagine how perfect it would have been if I'd first used this picture, and now the other one. Ah, mistakes we will regret when we are old men...

Deep Rising at 64%

The Faculty
Congo
Deep Rising
Event Horizon

True. I have seen the host, but it didn't stick with me nearly as much as the relic.

With the relic it's like you can feel it's feet pounding when it's walking past the cage, or the sounds it makes when it's suddenly behind you in the dark, or the ripples it makes when it's suddenly in the water behind you.

Live and learn.
But srs you will never be bloodraven and experience all time as one instant, so don't beat yourself up about it.

Though you did fuck up bigtime you fucking faggot.

Great list! Although I'm not sure EH really qualifies... it's more supernatural/body horror, no?

Does Ghost and the darkness count

Pumpkinhead

Deep Rising fits this criteria 100%

Watched ravenous last night it was pretty good.

The 13th Warrior

I suppose it's the fact that in The Host it's pure CGI and you can tell. It's not nearly as alive. And The Host was a bit too quick to show it too, there was never any mystery, curiosity or fear of the hidden.

I have a The Faculty story. I always had a hint of erection when Famke Janssen goes bad girl and tells the dude that she'll shove her foot so far up his ass he's gonna taste it. So just a couple of weeks ago I was watching it with a girl and things turned sexual. Right after I come, I look over at the screen, and that scene is 30 seconds away. That's true fucking up. Such a waste.

Event Horizon qualifies, sure. We're not that distract.

I'll allow it. Unless you meant pic related and some other flick called The Darkness

I won't allow this. Doesn't qualify at all

All this love for Deep Rising but none for Ghost Ship? Yeah it's 2 years late but still

it's got early karl urban... and even earlier emily browning

I totally agree with everything except for Ravenous not fitting. He's not supposed to be human, is he? I thought at that point he was actually a supernatural creature. I may have missed it.

Also Event Horizon I still have to disagree. There's no concise creature like in Slither (which I'd add if it weren't a decade late). It doesn't really involve a monster that I remember.

Damn she was cute in this movie. I can say this because she's my age. That opening scene is super memorable, too.

She's cuter in The Uninvited and A Series of Unfortunate Events though.

So you disagreed about two things you lying piece of shit. I remember them as being humans. Being cannibals made them recoup quickly but otherwise they were human.

The ship is the creature in Event Horizon.

I watched The Uninvited 1944 the other night, still holds up. It's a great watch. The remake looks like a turd.

what about other sea-based films, like Sphere (1998), Levhiathan (1989), or The Abyss (1989)? the last two miss by a year, but that's close enough. I suppose Sphere and Abyss lack a creature, but Leviathan should be good

Mimic is more fascinating if you know how utterly fucked the production was

details por favor

comingsoon.net/movies/news/556565-ten-crazy-learned-guillermo-del-toros-mimic-directors-cut-audio-commentary

It was originally about white beetles not cockroaches, they were supposed to be oddly beautiful like the Faun from Pans Labyrinth or Hellboy 2's Forest Elemental.

An exec saw the outside of the subway tunnel set and thought the movie took place in a submarine and lost his shit. Del toro wanted to cast Andre Braugher instead of Jeremy Northington but an exec said America wasn't ready for a mixed race couple. Several months into the creature design another exec was asking why cockroaches don't look more like aliens with big teeth and crazy hair.

There was at one point a draft written by Soderbergh and John Sayles that got rejected by the studio. Del Toro refused to add jump scares to the movie so they brought in Robert Rodriguez as second unit to shoot all of them.

Also during shooting Del Toro's father was kidnapped in Mexico for like 70 days until James Cameron gave him $1 million to pay the ransom.

Holy fuck

Anaconda
Arachnophobia
Species
Lake Placid
Rogue
Split Second
Pumpkin Head
The Blob
Dagon

Does Candyman count?

>Rogue
>The Blob
>90's

Candyman is more of a slasher

cinemablend.com/m/new/How-James-Cameron-Saved-Guillermo-del-Toro-Father-From-Mexican-Kidnappers-67706.html

Cameron is the broest of bros

Why is James Cameron such a fucking boss? I hate almost all of his films but fucking damn.

>We expected a professional pitch from Cameron, an outline and a treatment of what he had in mind with a cursory budget; perhaps a couple assistants to run a slide show. Instead Cameron walked in the room without so much as a piece of paper.

>He went to the chalk board in the room and simply wrote the word ALIEN. Then he added an ‘S’ to make ALIENS. Dramatically, he drew two vertical lines through the ‘S’, ALIEN$. He turned around and grinned. We greenlit the project that day for $18 million.

How about you read the thread?

>Anaconda
>Arachnophobia
>Lake Placid
>Pumpkin Head
Said.

>Dagon
Not monster-y enough.

>Rogue
Much too late but it's good shit

>Species
>The Blob
>Split Second
Good contributions. Tue Blob is especially great. It's a bit too 80's but it's too good to ignore

I fucking loved this movie

how the fuck was Tremors not mentioned until now? We should all be ashamed

>loved
why the past tense? it will always be goat

I had the biggest boner for this chick when i was a kid

Komodo (not to be confused with Curse Of the Komodo, Komodo vs. Cobra and flicks like that) got a lot of shit, but it's pretty decent if you like the genre.

I still love it, I guess the 'loved' was me reminiscing.

The only thing missing from that story is some 80s synth and dramatically putting on sunglasses

Street Sharks movie from Stan Winston studios when?

there are some really cool shots in Mimic

I rarely ever visit this board, but you guys know cinemassacre's halloween specials, right?
Go to cinemassacre.com and watch monster madness, it's an episode about a campy horror flick every day of november. It's like the thing i look most forward to in november

You hate his films? Go fucking die in a hole you contration fucktard.

Your thread is dumb and you'll get no help from me.

roachkino

There's lots of good stuff in Mimic, that's why I like it despite it being a trainwreck. It would be interesting to see Del Toro do a remake of it one day, true to his vision.

He hasn't made a good film since True Lies, pigdog.

Except James is a huge pleb when it comes to post-50s stuff and the unscripted Mike discussions made MM literally unwatchable last year.

>True Lies
>good

Kill yourself.

think the Director's Cut is the best you're gonna get

Why are all kothoga's butthurt all the time then?

dont they still have memories of who they were before transformation?

>cinemassacre
no no no no

true pleb u r m8

>turned on by Famke's feet

Thirteen Ghosts
House on the Haunted Hill
Blade
Interview with the Vampire

come on, now it's just anything horror. I don't mind, though. It was a good thread, lads. Thanks
