oh jesus. How did any producer fund this shitpile?

 

[brollyman2k]

So troll of the year so far...Jericho or this movie?

it's a close one but i'd say the movie

 

[Zekes!]

Imagine if you lived on a desert island and you had one wish from a genie and you wished to watch this movie (just bear with me on this...) and you were told to go check at the rest of the movie at that url

 

[Slayven]

If it was me I would have acted a straight fool. They most be counting on the movie being super frontloaded.

 

[sakipon]

Part of me thinks its a cool idea but its also the dumbest thing ive ever heard. Fuck that.

It might be a cool idea for a streaming movie you watch on a tablet, PC or mobile phone. But if I have gone out of my way to a theater thinking of a relaxing evening, I'd be so mad.

Usually I can't stand people posting spoilers of any kind, but this appears to be a valid warning for all consumers.

 

[Evenball]

As if a cosmic switch had been pulled, suddenly there was no monster! (or ending)

 

[commedieu]

Thats just all sorts of wrong. I had severely low expectations of this flick. But thats just baffling. I'd agree with the front loaded comments, but they are shooting themselves in the foot a tad aren't they? Everyone is going to talk about it in one day. They wont even get a weekend will they..? Or is the internet not that powerful.

 

[WordAssassin]

Well

I'm supposed to see this movie tomorrow morning on a date with a girl who really REALLY loves horror movies...

But this is the dumbest fucking shit I have ever heard of and now I really don't want to waste my money on it.

I asked a friend who saw it earlier if this was actually true and he said in the movie it's filmed as a documentary and they "run out of footage" so it just stops.

FUCK that. God dammit fuck that so hard.

How do I get out of seeing this movie without spoiling/angering my date, GAF?

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Jeritroll will take cues from this movie.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

It's a horror movie in January. Anybody actually anticipating this already lost.

Welcome to how "my generation" felt after watching the "Blair Witch Project"...it sure sounds like the same garbage, anyways. At least knowing the movie will come to NO resolve should make easy for you not to look like a wuss in front of you date and then let her make a big deal about it the whole time. At least one of you will enjoy it =P

Go you fool. It will be fun, who cares that it sucks! It will be a good story for you guys to talk about on your next date ya know? Its 1 movie. She loves horror. It fits the bill. Be the guy that she cowers into... right

Blair Witch had resolve though in that they all die at the end, and then it's kind of a mystery as to who killed them.

This is, pay $13 to see a movie, and then it just stops before the end, and tells you to go home to see the ending on a website.

God I can't believe how mad this is making me hahahaha

Well, I mean, I guess. Ugh.

Spoiler

We were supposed to go tonight but something happened and we had to reschedule, but I work all night shifts the next 4 days so we're seeing it at 12 tomorrow. Not ideal, I know, but... :\

Yeah, BWP was fucking awful. I actually sat threw it twice while it was in the theaters(two different groups of friends). It was awful the first time, and even worse the second time cause you know nothing is going to happen.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Upon further reflection, this isn't really any worse than the latest trend in films that don't have proper conclusions because they are being marketed as parts of a "saga" or "trilogy."

It's also genius marketing and budgeting. Roger Corman is kicking himself that he could have made movies missing a real ending and then (being Roger) charged for a mail away 8mm reel with the ending deal.

 

[B.K.]

Can't be any worse than Skyline's ending.

 

[ThisWreckage]

I read the thread title and shuddered with horror. For a horror movie, it has done it's job.

 

[NinjaMouse]

it was funny...I saw BWP with a group of friends and I remember laughing at parts of it, and the one of the girls in the group was yelling at me for being so insensitive to the plight of those people and how I "had no idea what those people went through!". I just laughed at her and said, "no...I don't think YOU know what those people went through". Needless to say, she felt pretty stupid when she realized it was "real" found footage.

Yeah, I thought that the advertising campaign was a pretty good stupidity test.

 

[Alfarif]

Thanks OP. I just warned my wife and sister-in-law who were actually about to go see this shit. Just saved them money.

 

[Doctor West]

I hope I live to see the day when this terrible and lazy "found footage" style of filmmaking comes to an end. Sadly, there are so many dumb people out there who keep paying to see this afterbirth that it's like money in the bank for studios, especially since it costs less to make than a meal at Applebees.

If it was real, I would have been scared shitless. Does anyone know of any real found footage? I remember one that I think was found in some catacombs under Paris(?) Pretty spooky.

 

[commedieu]

gal at work thinks The Fourth Kind is/was real back at time of release. I don't have the heart to tell her.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

I met a girl in law school who tried to convinced that the voting to get Paranormal Activity screened in your city was real. lol

I then explained to her old AIP Marketing campaigns and hookum from the era. Sam Arkoff would be proud!

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Tell her to see Cannibal Holocaust. lol

Rent a real horror movie and cook her dinner.

 

[cheststrongwell]

That's one fucked up movie. Also, your avatar is the second best thing to come out of that news story.

 

[MilesWebber]

Well site is getting hammered. Managed to make it to the splash page once. Now database error.

So it's working?

Edit: Got in. There's no ending footage on the site. just clips from the trailer, a discussion board and links to external exorcism sites.

Trolled, indeed.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

That's one fucked up movie.

Yes, it is. Good movie though, actually conflicting and interesting to analyze in some ways. Hell, one of the few movies the inspired me to randomly write an essay review on it. lol

Also, your avatar is the second best thing to come out of that news story.

That is also true.

 

[Derrick01]

Heh and we joke on gaming side about publishers cutting endings off and charging a fee to access it. This is dangerously close to that, though I'm pretty sure they don't charge for seeing it (other than ad revenue the site makes from all of the clicks I guess).

 

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

If it was real, I would have been scared shitless. Does anyone know of any real found footage? I remember one that I think was found in some catacombs under Paris(?) Pretty spooky.

Well, Grizzly Man, but it's not scary.

 

[Expendable.]

oh jesus. How did any producer fund this shitpile?

A smart one. It made double its budget in just midnight showings alone. People are suckers for this shit.

Better than youtube comments.

I know what you mean. All of this stuff had to be true, it’s not like you can fake all the crazy, insane body movements, it’s serious when you end up breaking something. The movie was crazy. And I wonder if something really did transfer to Isabella, David and Michael.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

One who liked Roger Corman, Sam Arkoff, and many other producing greats!

haha my timeline has been blowing up all day w/ people pissed about the ending. now i know why.

But how do they sleep at night?

Oh yeah. on a big pile of money.

it is pretty easy to double a budget of 10 bucks.

Ok, I gotta know about Jericho.

So, what is the URL OP?

Don't worry, they give you a full thirty seconds to write it all down.

Don't worry, they give you a full thirty seconds to write it all down.

Be better to troll with a tinyurl link, I'd wager.

 

[Phobophile]

oh jesus. How did any producer fund this shitpile?

It had a budget of about $1 mil. so it was highly improbable for it not to at least break even.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Ok, I gotta know about Jericho.

WeassleGAF spent several entire pages discussing it Monday.

 

[Drkirby]

This sounds simply hilarious.

 

[Phoenix]

It's a horror movie in January. Anybody actually anticipating this already lost.

Yeah. That was my thought as well. It's like a sci fi world ending movie launching on Christmas day. If that doesn't tell you it's going to be shit, nothing does.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Yeah. That was my thought as well. It's like a sci do world ending movie launching on Christmas day. If that doesn't tell you it's going to be shot, nothing does.

I hate nothing more than sci do shot.

 

[Arsenic Yellow]

Thanks for ruining the ending in the fucking title. Movies here are 4.75 on the weekday/night. I would've gone to see it just for fun.

 

[shuri]

People on imdb said they had a regular real ending? What gives? Two posted posted the ending in spoilers tags and they matched..
