Horror Movie Fans, let's have discussions...

This is like asking a 5th grader to take a physics problem home and having the answer
by tommorrow.
There's no sense debating a movie,let alone Horror { THE Easiest to debate } with
the likes of you.You can't even comprehend Revenge when it's starring you in the face.
In - The Omen - Damien was ALL About REVENGE.
In fact,no better word describes what Damien did to his victims than Revenge for
finding out who he really was.

 

Killing just so happens to be a classic example of the ultimate Revenge.
Look up the word - Revenge - wood ya.

 

Your sarcasm and smart assed remarks are doing nothing for your argument...

It wasn't revenge...

It was to enable the coming of the Antichrist...

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/revenge?s=t

That didn't do anything for your argument either...

 

Revenge > To Retaliate.To inflict punishment {in return for injury or insult}.
Damien felt his cover being blown was an insult to his Secret or domination
of mortals.Damien like Roman Castevets had it in their power to supernaturally
wreak Injury of maximum punishment { Death } for anyone getting too close to their
secret.
Yes,Revenge is what is used for those who got too close to say John Gotti { crime Boss }.
For knowing too much.Like this shouldn't have to be explained.
Maybe you should take whatever available Cliff Notes exist for certain Movies
when at the Theatre.And a pen light.

 

If it's based upon them dying because they found out who (or what) he was...then the nanny's death at the beginning doesn't make sense because it gives no references to her knowing at all...

 

*facepalm*

Don't pull a muscle reaching so hard...

I swear, it bewilders me when some people want so bad to be right...

The Omen is not about revenge at all...

Nor is The Exorcist, The Strangers, Chainsaw Massacre, Insidious, Paranormal Activity, etc...

Stop this nonsense...

 

You are kind of funny, in a retarded way. Hutch was killed to get him out of the way, plain and simple. You understand simple, dontcha?

Guy is the lynchpin in the whole deal. He is Brutus, he sells his soul, Rosemary does not. Roman is a tool of Satan, but without Guy he gets nowhere with Rosemary. Look what happened with Teresa the first girl. She got wind and took the big sleep. Guy was there to act as a buffer and a traitor to his vows.

More useless trivia for Captain Know-it-all, William Castle bought the rights to the book by Ira Levin but the studio refused to let him direct due to his history of schlock and shock cinema, which is why Polanski got the gig.

 

Ding ding ding!!!

Good example to disprove this nonsense...

 

I think that solved it....lol

Moving on...another good one I don't think has been mentioned yet is Flatliners...I thought that was a good one

 

I have never seen that...

I'll have to be on the lookout for it...

 

Watched the grudge at my 14th B-day party.

9 teenage girls scared absolutely (*)(*)(*)(*)less and thinking of the final scene still makes me want to look over my shoulder.

I don't really watch that many horror films but I think that cabin fever is excellent.

 

More,less than amateurish Nerd Bucket analysis.Why was Hutch Killed.? You mean it wasn't
to Avenge or Revenge his attempts to unravel the Real Villain or Roman Castavets.
Of course it was.We're finally getting somewhere.
From stating a Lie that the Movie - Rosemary's Baby - was an example of
Non Revenge Horror Genre,to now well yes a sub plot DID Exist to eliminate anyone
with an ability to Unravel the true identity of the main Villain.Exactly the same
scenario involved in - Damien: Omen II ,where a Museum curator who has
knowledge as to Damien's true background and purpose meets the worst fate of any
in the movie.Revenge ... pure and simple for daring to expose the Real Damien.
BTW to add to yer Nerdness there is NO such Genre as - Revenge Horror -.On the surface
it would be asinine.Like most Horror.
There is however the Subgenre of - Rape/Revenge - or Exploitation film.
However judging by Your et.al. comments it won't be long before a new
genre.Or 2.

- Contrarian Horror -
- Political Horror -

 

This revenge argument is starting to annoy me. My favorite movie of any kind is Theater of Blood. Not far behind is The Abominable Doctor Phibes. Both of them are about revenge. Vincent Price plays both parts: an actor killing his critics and a multi-talented doctor killing the medical team who failed to save his wife's life. That's revenge.
Killing people who are trying to stop you from becoming the antichrist, dictator, mob boss or family patriarch is, as Michael Corleone would say, "just business."

First of all I'm not the one who inapproprietly used revenge as an actual Horror-type genre.
- Theatre of Blood - is a favorite of mine.I loved the color of that swill the Theatre rummies
drank.It was the most beautiful floral purple color ever used for inside a bottle.
You are helping to make my point.That just like Horror is meant to annoy,and I defy anyone
to debate otherwise,so to is "revenge "an almost key ingredient in Horror.

 

Explain the movie The Strangers and how that is revenge based...

Explain the movie The Blob and how that is revenge based...

Explain the movie Night of the Living Dead and how that is revenge based...

 

I don't really consider Monster movies like "The Blob" to be horror films. They're more of a genre in and of themselves. I mean I don't know anyone who considers the Godzilla films to be "horror films" for example.

 

I agree that it's in it's own sub genre...but it is still considered to fall under the horror category...it would be labeled horror/sci-fi...

 

- Night of the Living Dead - to me isn't worth talking about.It's about THE most Unscarey
pile of worthless film dung to ever hit a screen.I can't watch it.It's just worthless stupid.
Offers nothing.I could easily watch a flick like - The Killer Shrews - {1959}
or even - The Fiend of Dope Island - { 1961 } which are good tacky flicks.
But Romero stuff is just crap.Even - I spit on Your Grave - {1978} is unwatchable crap.
It's more a title that attracts dopey teens to watch.
In - The Blob - { 1958 } There is active Avenging of Humans by the Blob.
Are you gonna tell me that The Blob wasn't out to avenge {Revenge} anyone
daring to come close.Plus it used engulfing humans as a way to Grow larger.
A Villain can be a Space Monster,a Martian or some Michael Myers.Some
half-animal,half human Creepzoid.Or a crazed psychopath Woman { Friday the 13th }.
Avenge,Revenge,Vengeance ... it's all the same.Trust me.

 

- The Blob - is unquestionable Sci-Fi.
Just follow the script y'all.This really isn't that hard.The Blob came from the Sky as
a fallen object,like a meteor.Y'all can't be this lame.

 

You were the one who tried to say every horror film is about revenge because R.P. stated correctly that LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT is a revenge film, like I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE.

You really blurt and spew like a person in need of medication. For a while it was cute (like watching a midget get tossed) but it's gotten really boring. Your incessant need to throw out titles and dates and obscure trivia I understand is meant to persuade us of some grand film gravitas on your part, but it only makes you look like a desperado drowning in a sea of stupidity, grasping for any possible lifeline that will make the sharks go away, all while they chew you up like so much chum.

 

It's usually pretty difficult to convince someone who's obviously wrong, but, doesn't seem to realize it, that they're wrong...

 

Yup...

That's exactly what it is...

Sci-fi horror...

 

The Captain is going down with the ship, he just doesn't seem to see there's a life raft right in front of him because he's blinded by ego. And how a discussion of the greatest genre of film there ever was could turn into a gay fight about revenge, is beyond me. But such is life in the netherworld of cyber beer muscle fun.

 

That'd depend though - because I'd say the same thing about "Zombie" movies, more akin to the monster film genre than "horror", but you couldn't call zombies "sci fi" either.
