If you made a horror movie...

Blood Rage (1987) Great taglin: This Thanksgiving..it's  not cranberry sauce. ahurk! I have the 3 disc limited edition. 

Small indie label Scream Team Releasing released The Last Thanksgiving just late last year. I have read comments from the trailer about how bad it looks. It looks pretty damn good to me for a micro budget indie. I'm going to buy it sometime before November so I can watch it this Thanksgiving.



I'd do a zombie movie even though there is such an oversaturation of them in public concsious right now and glut of bad modern ones with bad cgi. It's my favorite horror genre. I'd also like to do a doppleganger movie and werewolf one too.

There are a few Thanksgiving horror movies, such as Blood Rage which is named above, Blood Freak which is a very bizarre movie really blooys but might not really be embraces as a slasher by some, and Home Sweet Home which is another really weird one that is definitely a slasher but not super Thanksgiving-ish.

There's also a movie called Kristy from 2014 that takes place on a college campus that has emptied for the Thanksgiving weekend, the Hulu Into the Dark movie series did one called Pilgrim that's not really a slasher but hits some of those notes and involves people dressed up in Pilgrim costumes terrorizing a family.

But of course the great 80s style Thanksgiving slasher movie is the imaginary one that Eli Roth made a trailer for in Grindhouse. That trailer is awesome and I was hoping he'd actually make that movie. I don't love his work, but that trailer promised a really fucking fun full on wild 80s style played straight slasher gore comedy. It's a kind of movie Eli Roth has never made, but it seeks like the natural thing for him to do.

There really aren't any for Easter. There are several small shitty movies that tried to capitalize in that idea, but I don't think there are really any that you'd say are 'real' movies.

Theme? Well...

The only horror movie I ever wish had been made... was a real full length horror movie about GREMLINS... NOT like the comedy styled Gremlins with GIZMO... But Rather something like this:



It starts of with a similar plot to "The Mist" (2007)





A real "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet"...

Demonic GREMLINS from "Twilight Zone: The Movie" (1983), enter our dimension, and begin to cause numerous plane crashes...



When it is discovered that Gremlins are causing the plane crashes, and it is now too dangerous to fly, the world is forced to ground the airline industry.



The Gremlin Invasion:

But, with out airplanes in the skies for the Gremlins to destroy... and with more Gremlins, entering our dimension... the Gremlins begin to destroy machines on the ground, and threaten mankind's survival...



Mankind must discover how to stop the Gremlins in our world, and also close the doorway between our worlds forever!

(The final part of the film, is quite flexible for future development... But I would like to see some kind of a serious military battles around the world... While scientists work to close the doorway.)





Yeah, I know... Not much originality here, as we have seen all this before, in hundreds of horror movies...

It's just that, I feel the Gremlins story has never received a proper full length horror film, and I've always wanted to see one.

But, Hollywood isn't about originality these days with all the remakes, Right?... So Why Not!

I would probably try to make a solid, atmospheric and chilling horror film, which takes place, deep into the woods.

Basically, a wilderness/woods horror film.
As it really annoys me, that with all the great wilderness, just lying there, awaiting for a potential interesting idea/plot, as in my country, they still have yet to really make or come up with a good/great and original horror film which takes place in the forest or wilderness.

Sure, there have been a few, attempts of coming close, either in style or ideas, such as Thale, De Dødes Tjern and so on, but I feel there is so much potential, as with everything from de underjordiska (troll, vetter, tusser, nøkken and other well known nordic folklore supernatural and mythical creatures) but I guess the closest they have come, is either with Thale or Trollhunter, which are both good, but I wished somebody would ditch the more lighter approach, and just ignore the use of CGI and make the most of what is there, and also totally free at cost, which is atmosphere and mood of the nature and landscape itself.

There is a lot of old tales, of having the underjordiske punishing the local people, if they did not live by the "codes" of the forest, and if somebody broke that rule or promise, suddenly small babies were lost, or there would be children kidnapped, even grown men were not safe, as they would be lured far into the deep forest, toward their deaths. And as a kid, my grandmother had this old book, full of pictures from Theodor Kittelsen, and I wished somebody would just ditch the usual wannabe american slashers and horror films, and instead just make a nordic horror film, based on these old mythical figures.

As mentioned, I would have surely made the most of the nature/wilderness, and instead approach with more of a "less is more" kind of style, not showing too much, but you kind of get the idea, that you are not alone, and that somebody is surely always watching you very close.
  

Something with a monster.

Supernatural Slasher

I have no idea what I’d do with it, but as a sub genre I feel I’d be the most comfortable with.
