Don't call me James wrote:Watched Brooklyn. 8/10. Good movie. Slow at times but very deep if you stick with it. Sort of movie you'd watch with a significant other.

Saoirse Ronan's performance was magnificent.

Does anyone know how the hell you pronounce her name.

I would class horror as its own genre. The goal is to shock, disgust and scare the audience with gore, blood, zombies, monsters, demons etc. The goal for a thriller on the other hand is suspense.

Suspense is a part of horror. Psychological thrillers are very much horror films in a sense. A lot of people call Psycho a horror film, despite even Hitchcock calling it a thriller and suspense movie.

Thriller has a lot of sub genre's like crime, horror, comedy, spy, political, psychological etc, which is why the definitions can be subjective and fuzzy. I haven't watched Psycho, but if it's a combination of the two, then I would say it's a horror thriller just like TWD is. But yeh, for horror the aim is scare the audience, while for a thriller it's to deliver suspense. Two different feelings imo.

Then I must urge you to watch Psycho because it is Sacry as well as has GOAT suspence. Eager to see in which category u put in it

Yeh I'll be checking out Hitchcock's work. He's labelled as the 'master of suspense', which is enough to entice me. I just checked out 'Psycho' on IMDB and the remastered version has a low rating, is that an accurate assessment or is it as good as the original? In terms of labels, I don't think it has to be one or the other. Simply calling it a 'horror-thriller' is fine, just like Breaking Bad/Prison Break are both crime-thrillers.

by Lucifer Sun Feb 28, 2016 1:58 pm

Shud go with Original one imo.

Spotlight is indeed brilliant. Struggling to find a simple flaw in the film. Mark Ruffalo was terrific.

Certainly my top 3 with Mad Max and The Revenant. Would be fine with any of these three winning.

Idris Elbow and McConaughey are confirmed now.

Can't wait for my boy Arcel to direct those stars. Danish filmmaking going places Proud

Yes, just seen it, its official :bow:

Also, this tweet https://twitter.com/idriselba/status/704679302781083648 :bow:

(nod at the book since Roland follows The Man in Black(Mcconahay) for the majority of the time)

Been reading around, is it feasible/possible to make a quality movie in under just 7 months? I have little to no idea about the inner workings of movie making but it kinda feels like it might be a but rushed imo
