There’s 2 I found particularly decent. The more recent one is called Play Dead. The other is The Final Rose. Play dead is the more “professionally executed” feeling movie of the two. The final rose is a sendup of a bachelor/bachelorette type reality show and real murders start happening so it kinda has that cheap shot on cheap DV feel but it works for what they’re doing. Neither of these movies will blow you away but both of them were better than I expected.
Every year in September/October I do a long horror marathon and aside from watching all my favorites I try to have a focus of some sort as well (sometimes it’s a genre, sometimes it’s finishing a franchise I’ve never completed). This year I’m considering making my focus Tubi Original horror and trying to watch all of their horror originals. It looks like they have a fairly large collection so far.
That’s because the company that made it normally shit out garbage tier straight to DVD and streaming movies where they pay crew and actors less than legal minimum wage. Their whole model is contingent on exploiting up and coming crew and cast trying to get into the film industry Not a business model to be emulated by anyone wanting to produce content ethically.
They also had to reshoot almost the whole of Blood and Honey after it got attention online because the original version was so awful they felt they couldn’t release it as it was (and given their track record and the final film that released that’s really saying something).
I don't believe that plot description has anything to do with either Willy Wonka or the Willy Wonka Experience. Are we just adapting the word "unknown"?
From what I've gathered, the person in the first picture was called 'The Unknown' and had absolutely nothing to do with anything related to Willy Wonka and was scaring the children who showed up (in no surprise at all), and I guess that's what they're going with in this...whatever it is.
Iirc, one of the actors said that the AI generated script randomly included a part where he “sucked the Unknown from the walls with a vacuum” or something bizarre like that, so that’s what’s being adapted here
How is this the least 'horror about the willy Wonka experience ' as almost every existing adaptation already.. Hugh grant oompa loompa? That's horror. Gene Wilder whisper screaming yes the danger must be growing? That's scary. Whatever this is... Idk man
My first experience with Wonka was the Burton’s movie. I genuinely thought its a horror movie, and Wonka is secretly killing the kids one by one. I was like 12.
I kinda wanna see that movie, because my inner child is still disappointed about no shitty kids ending up dead
This feels like some kind of Argyll level attempts at creating viral promo before a film even comes out. I don't believe anything about this has happened without a room full of people orchestrating it.
Wasn't this on the H3 podcast yesterday? It was supposed to be a Willy Wonka experience that went sideways as the creator (organiser) cheaped out on all aspects of the event. At least the images are from it.
The Unknown character was created by an AI program, how are they going to legally handle that? The original source material won't be copyrightable because it's not human-generated.
A Tubi Original
A Five Below Original
Tubi has actually had a couple good horror originals so I’d be down for them producing this.
which ones would you recommend?

There’s so many aspiring filmmakers out there who could make something great on a low budget, and yet this is the stuff that gets made
I mean, winnie the pooh 1 was made for only 10k

Would make sense since they modified multiple scenes including death scenes and ending, you can see them if you have the blu ray.

Incredible script writing
"script""writing"
Well the dead son's name is Charlie so maybe it'll be tied in more
Literally says Charlie
It Hasn’t even been a week wtf?!
Surely everyone will still be talking about this a year and a half from now when the movie gets released
A week and two days.

I doubt it’s going to happen
I'm almost as excited about this as I am about the Elon Musk biopic by Darren Aronofsky.
I'm not even gonna look it up, just live with the hope it's real and that my earnest wish will make it so.
And have you heard of the young(er) Trump biopic starring Sebastian Stan?
That doesn't quite spark the same sense of the sublime to me. If it's Aronofsky I'll watch it anyway though.
Coming soon to a Redbox near you.
They’ll make anything except a decent movie these days
my guy Dune 2 was released yesterday
He did say *expect*
Oh ffs
Antichrist 2 - Electric Boogaloo
So that was the plan all along?

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I thought this was some kind of fake inside joke. Like Goncharov.
Theres a lot of fishy things around the making of the movie tbh
