I've seen it but didn't really care for it desu famalam.

What did you like about it ? I'm curious

I enjoyed it .. Interesting plot with the alchemy and catacombs. Also has some genuinely creepy moments.

I enjoyed it a little. There were some sparks of creativity, but in the end it's mediocre.

this

I think it tried to hard to be a horror when it could've been a really interesting adventure movie.

It felt like there was no connection between the scenes and its only purpose was to scare, very little story whatsoever. Fun if you wanna watch a scary movie with your friends or something, but pretty bad imo.

I thought the adventure plot was interesting, with the concept of hell being in the catacombs of Paris. I saw it more as an action movie than a horror film.

I liked it much more than I expected. Ended up watching it again the next day.

I enjoyed it... Some decent history.

Also, the ending was neat... just different..

it was cool to see people in found footage live for once

>hell being in the catacombs of Paris
I thought it was a just the location of the philosopher's stone

The ending was neat

It is but then you get all the freaky hell shit when they crawl through the entrance.

>and they shall be made to crawl on their bellies into the kingdom of darkness.

That creepy ass French cult girl with the baby...of course she pops up on Google image search.

that thumbnail looks like an animal's eye

It turns out the kingdom of darkness is just your regular old world.
It's not exactly a bad deal for the legendary artifact?
I guess they may have PTSD afterwards though, so maybe 'world is hell when you're fucked up in the head'?

When I heard it was set in the catacombs I was a little worried as that god awful Pink movie left a bad smell all over the subject. Then when I started watching it and saw that it was a found footage movie, my expectations dropped further. However, I ended up liking it a lot more than I thought I would. It's one of the few found footage films that's actually well acted and believable enough in its execution to pull it off. It's worth watching for that alone.

It was ok but I was extremely disappointed that they didn't emerge on the other side as one of the posters seemed to imply

It was ok, but The Descent just did it better. I even liked La cueva more.

I liked the fact how one of the main characters was some sort of a super genius who fixes church bells for fun. It didn't fit the movie at all, and was something out of a funny cheesy adventure movie.

Overall, the movie was pretty medicore. First half was ok, but everything after that was shit.

Personally I think the movie would have been much better if the ending was them crawling out of the man-hole into the streets of Paris, only to find that it's a hellscape and that they have basically wandered into Hell.

But that's just me.

Descent was garbage. Just as this movie was.

Terrible pacing. Nobody has any memory. A bunch of supernatural weirdness happens in one scene, and then all of the characters completely forget about it 30 seconds later. And then this happens over and over and over again the entire film.

Shit, it happens in the opening scene, where she captures the ghost of her dead father on video in a jump scare at the end of the scene, but it's never mentioned again.

I haven't seen a movie shit itself so abruptly halfway through its running time since Jeepers Creepers.

It's disappointing. The set up and scenario legitimately draws you in from the start.

CGI has no place in found footage films.

I liked it a lot, pacing was bit off but apart from that 9/10 movie.

>expect a horror film about Hell
>it's actually an adventure film about Alchemy
>felt concerned that the protagonist was seeking the Philosopher's Stone as an artifact
>ultimately there's no point because the Stone is found within, exactly like it's supposed to be
Well that was a surprise.

>tfw no qt trilingual british gf

reminded me of City of the Living Dead. always appreciate a movie committing to an idea.

Yeah I really loved it. I don't think I've felt as creeped out in a long time. It just took whatever demonic spooky shit it could think off and flung it at the wall hoping it would stick. Luckily, a lot of it did. The car shit and the druids or whatever are pretty stuck in my head.

This actually would have made a fantastic ending/third act.

who's this qt

A 10/10 in the UK.

HA! AMIRITE GUISE?

this, but also just because it was underground added more to it for me, since I enjoy caving and claustrophobia in horror gives a true sense of no escape to me personally.

I thought that was the ending?

so, you wanted it to be literally the exact same shit as every other found footage film the last decade?
>der finaly sefe
>oh nu it's akcually a bed end :(

Disgusting

that sounds like a Spoony and Milo horror fanfic

>oh noes, daddeh was te killr all 'long

it's not bigfoot!

The catacombs are not scary, it's actually quite peaceful and sacred, like a catedral

are there crazy cultists that perform masses in there?

Who said that's a bad end? They found a way in...maybe they can find a way out.

I literally turned off the TV when the cheap CGI cracks in the ceiling appeared

Such a good setting and buildup wasted
Also the girl was beyond annoying

Jeepers Creepers was great. I know monster movies never really went anywhere but at the time that it came out there had been a considerable dearth in terms of new and interesting ones. Also since it was before the age of ubiquitous spoilery nearly everyone that saw it was thrilled the moment his wing flapped up and it went from a slasher flick to a monster flick.

Felt more like a fun film in the same vein as Indiana Jones rather than a horror film, loved the scene they saw all the cultists doing something creepy before they ventured further and further into the catacombs.

>Also the girl was beyond annoying
I'm guessing the whole point of her character, the constantly know it all who is never wrong and everyone has to do what she says or else.

Come to think of it, what are some good Bigfoot horror films or misleading ones where they make you think it's a bigfoot? Willow Creek was pretty enjoyable.

They put the stone back didn't they

It was enjoyable. Like a horror Tomb Raider

thats literally what they did at the end though

Anybody got a pic of the dark man from the end of the movie? His character was great, really glad they didn't give him any cheesy dialog. The way he generally ignored them made him badass.

What was up with main girl sucker punching those gargoyles though

Don't get me wrong I don't hate jeepers creepers. I'm actually still really fond of it. The movie is wholly unique in the ways you just mentioned. A villain that looked like a murderous psychopath actually being some sort of monster. Things just got completely off for at the halfway point. We saw too much of him as well. It was scarier not knowing. Not seeing.
Mimic had this same vibe. The monster dressing up pretending to be human.
If a 3rd one happens I'll go see it.

I don't know man, now that you got me thinking about it, I'm really having a hard time thinking of any flaws. The leads were a really convincing brother and sister, the setup itself was properly creepy, the psychic lady punched it up into surreal nightmare territory. Maybe I could see someone saying the final parts turned too action-y/chase movie and messed up the tone a tad bit, but the reveal of the Creeper kept it in a nightmarish "running and getting nowhere" kinda mood, especially the ending.

All that said though, I haven't watched it in years and think I'll at least check it out tonight to see if it still holds up.

The last time I saw it was when Netflix first added the movie to its catalogue and that's long time gone. I'll find and rewatch it too. Maybe I'm being too harsh because I watched Jeepers 2 directly afterwards...

I liked it, but I'm really interested in urban exploring in general so that probably has something to do with it.

>urban exploring
That concept sounds so retarded to me. That's like me saying I'm going "bathtub sailing." I fucking hate millenials.

Can you tell me what you think urban exploring means?

Tresspassing.

>it's a generation before the other generation hates the other generation episode
Wew, kind of overplayed lad.

Tresspassing abandoned buildings noone lives in/uses? Are you implying it's a bad thing? Or what?

It's retarded. All it is people going into places that no one cares about anymore and more than likely have been blocked off due to crumbling infrastructure. It's not like they're discovering the new world or something.

You can't see how it may be fun for people to go in abandoned hospitals or some shit like that and walk around checking out things that used to be very populated but are now just wasting away? No, they're not discovering new worlds, but watching movies and tv shows all day isn't discovering anything new either.

...

because we can't explore shit now

You can see history in those long abandoned places. I'd kill to explore somewhere like Chernobyl and find some soviet kids diary.

Yeah it's okay

Wasn't great, but it is probably a better Tomb Raider movie than whatever Warner Bros is working on right now.

>Willow Creek was pretty enjoyable

Agreed. It's very underrated. That long tent scene that was shot in one take is pretty impressive and effective.

Basically a spooky Tomb Raider tale.

yeah that's why I enjoyed it.

Also the poster is fucking awesome

by the way...
>jeepers creepers
I completely forgot about that movie, is it any good?

it scared the shit out of me
thats what I think

So.. Was she the philosophers stone all along? Why did the woman and the baby follow the negroid? How did he see her above ground?
If they all were there because they had earlier "sins" like they shoehorned in the end, what was the negroids sin? If hell started at the end, why were there things like the piano way longer up? Why did they jump down the hole without getting hurt? How did they know that this would happen? She seemed very sure exactly what the hole was for. Why did they keep getting attacked by ghosts and demons and shit after jumping down the hole?

I really loved some of the concepts which made the movie worth a view for me. Got really cool when everything started to get mirrored and so on. The earlier mentioned questions ruined it alot from me. The end felt extremely rushed.

I tought it could be cool
It wasn't, it was shit

I haven't seen Jeepers Creepers in years, kids being chased by scarecrow thing is all I remember, worth a rewatch?

That would be terrifying.

When I first watched I thought they would walk around for a bit and find out that it was a 21st century National Socialist Paris.

The first Jeepers Creepers is pretty alright especially the first part before the monster really starts chasing them.
When the monster finally reveals itself it's kind of a let down though because it's just some goofy looking vampire.

The second one sucks.
I didn't even know there was a third one until I googled it just now.

what
I thought they didn't make a third because the actor that played the creeper is a convicted pedophile/killer.

oh wait that was the director

No, they ended up in normal Paris, just getting out of the catacombs upside down
