Topic	Gauntlet Crew Ranks 90s Horror Films - Do you like ranking scary movies?
Snake5555555555 06/29/19 1:32:58 PM #175:	Johnbobb - I never know how to rate or rank "so bad it's good" movies. This is a horribly acted, horribly written movie that is funny as hell because of it. Well, for the most part; there are more than a few boring lore scenes that literally nobody cares about. However, I also have to deduct points for it not even being the best take on this same concept (looking at you, Needful Things). Try a little harder, Wishmaster. Scarlet - This movie, about a young boy who is whisked away to the storybook realm that librarians and LeVar Burton claim resides within every book, attempts to take a truly all-star voice cast and roll them into a Magic School Bus style bit of edutainment which teaches us that books are fun. Too bad that the star of the film pretty much demonstrates that only the most bullied and heckled geeks in the school hierarchy are privy to this exclusive realm of magic. Its an even tougher sell with a script that, ironically, isnt a page-turner. Rating: 20/100 Snake - Why I Chose It - The Djinn has become a moderate horror icon with a series of three sequels. Wishmaster is also an all-star celebration of the most famous actors and filmmakers in horror, directed by special effects wizard Robert Kurtzman, produced by Wes Craven, composed by Harry Manfredini, and featuring actors like Robert Englund, Angus Scrimm, Tony Todd, & Kane Hodder, just to name a few. My Thoughts - I want so badly to like this movie more than I do. The Djinn is a pretty cool concept for an antagonist and overall I think he looks pretty good, and I love seeing all the cameos like some sort of horror MCU. However, this movie is just overall really dull beyond a few gore scenes and the Djinn concept isn't pushed as much as I would've liked. Karo - An evil djinn is released from a gem and he sets out to give the three wishes that will free his kind and doom mankind as we know it. Perhaps this genie would have opened the portal to his world by now if he didn't fucking maim and murder every single person he comes across. Surely a being as old and powerful as him should understand the concept of enough intrigue and subterfuge to convince a master for long enough to achieve his goals that all this wishing wont make him grow an extra arm out of his anus. So the movie breaks down as follows: the genie meets someone who makes an ill advised or poorly worded wish. Oh nooo this isnt what I wished for! Cue a lot of screaming and excessive use of motion blur. Repeat. It is hard to tell which is worse, the terrible acting or the idiotic script. An evil counterpoint to the friendly Robin Williams genie is an intriguing concept but this is just so so terribly made and I wish it never existed. --- Listen, suffering is a fact of life. Either you learn how to deal with that or you go under. https://i.imgtc.ws/2Q88rI4.gif <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:924013688] in Gauntlet C...
