Enjoying this a lot so far. Good take on the zombie genre. Lot of groundwork laying in the first episode but everything is flat out bonkers by episode 3.

This was a collection of good scene set-ups without much care for pacing. And, like, the comment about it not being finished is right. The explanation of what these things are, how they’re connected to water, what the rules are, etc. are sketched out but never fully explained. The end in the psych ward and the chair flying is just straight up cheesy. But, the dead boy maybe moving at the table and the running, mutated lady hitting the car window are really effective.Toggle Spoiler

Scary stories to tell in the dark is gonna be p interesting because that thing lived and died by those dripping inky pics that accompanied each story and how grotesque they were.

dead boy sitting at the table with his glass of milk in aterrados was freakyyyyyy

(not saying they're all good, but she compiles some great themed lists)

snow stuff:

devil times five
curtains
iced
dead snow
that one in a hotel where a guy goes crazy
the last winter

by **Poptone** » Thu Feb 07, 2019 1:34 pm

okay, i'm in.

few things, tho:

1. lithgow's line reading of "Sometimes...dead is better" isn't matching Fred Gwynne's iconic take
2. oh god they're keeping the Achilles heel slice gahhhhToggle Spoiler
3. wedigo sighting!
4. interesting they've switched up the kids' fatesToggle Spoiler

by **Zardoz** » Thu Feb 07, 2019 1:52 pm

interesting either rolling Zelda into the daughter or that scene is a flashback but damn if they are blending the characters that would be a smart way to streamline the filmToggle Spoiler
first trailer didn't do it for me but this looks they wanna do the source material justice and nice little callbacks to the first film, sign me up

by **Poptone** » Thu Feb 07, 2019 1:55 pm

i mean, i'm 100% prepared for this to fucking blow but i am digging the vibe thus far

by **Zardoz** » Thu Feb 07, 2019 2:03 pm

yeah that bird eye shot into the woods at night gave me some Pumpkinhead vibes

if anyone has king cohen (the larry cohen Doc) please drop it in the DB - thx !!

I don't know if I can pin down exactly which moment in The Prodigy got the biggest laughs, but the one I keep going back to in my head is the use of paprika as ominous foreshadowing.

If you have another snow storm, Pontypool is terrific

The hole in the ground is because there's potatoes there.

by **manvstrees** » Thu Feb 28, 2019 2:47 pm

That "we are still here" or w/e movie from 3-4 yrs ago is mad snowy and also good

by **hiddenicon** » Thu Feb 28, 2019 2:57 pm

If we're still doin snow, The Children (one from 2000's, not 80's) is a nice low key choice. A bit under seen, sadly.
