OK, if you read my last post (Horror in the modern day) you will know that I am fed up of the same old shit that keeps coming out.
So I thought I would be a bit daring.
I am looking into having a go at making my own horror movie!! lol
But I am not a writer or a musician so I am really just looking for peolpe who would like to be a part of it. I dont want any money (cos I will try to finance it by myself) I just want peoples passion for horror and time to help me write and compose a movie.
So if you are interested please let me know, either by replying to this post or by emailing my company email address on
[email protected]
Do not know what the resoponse will be like but I am gonna do this.

lol, I hope it works out for you
Im to am fed up with the blown up horror today, movies like resident evil and ghost ship could have been ALLOT better when it wasn't ment for a big audience, so more gore and stuff
well, what kinda movie did you had in mind?
zombies, demons, weird mutations, ghosts
a haunted house,....
I could try to come up with a story then (I got allot of time to think sometimes, but I can't put them onto paper in a decend way)

I have money to get the project started and rolling but then I will look for sponsorship and as I run my own business I know a few people who may offer help but I will cross that bridge when I come to it.
This is a very serious project and I want to go for it at least we will be able to look back and say we try whether it fails or succeeds but I want this to succeed so I will invest as much as I can but obviously my budget has a limit lol

Im just waiting for the OK from bunn100 to do the score, id be intrested in workin as the Music Director if he needs it as well. I could talk to all you guys with bands wanting on, i.e. which songs you guys would want to use, where in the movie would be the best and most appropriate place to put them, who would get the close and opening credit scenes etc. Ive learned alot abou this in my music industry classes so i think we could really do this. SOOOO, so far for bands we got Vamprockers(horror rock/roll) and Abbys (all girl horror punk) sounds good so far, any other takers??

I think Bunn is still looking for ideas so any you have would be great. Just throw them at us. We're lookin for serious writers and scripts so if you think you have any that would be workable into a good movie shoot them at us or pm bunn100 with them.

What kinda genre is Bunn going for? do you know Arioch?
Arioch
12-08-2003, 12:37 AM
Nope, i dont even have a genre yet. So its very much preproduction at this stage. I think he wants to bring some writers onboard before he decides anything in terms of plot or genre. So i think we all could have input on this. Sounds like a pretty good way to make a movie to me. Im sure we can saddle some of the talent on this board.
bunn100
12-08-2003, 01:12 AM
Ok to answer some of the questions you guys have been throwing at Arioch (poor old Arioch lol)
The film is obviously gonna be a horror lol but I this is want I want out of the film
The film is gonna be realistic, dark, shocking and pretty much fucked up and disturbing. Basically I want a film where the audience will think fuck that can happen to me.
And you know those rollercoasters you gonna tht scare the shit out of you but you have to go on it again just to feel the same as you did last time, that is what I want out of the movie.
But as Arioch says EVERYONE can contribute to the film cos at the end of the day this is a film for the fans and not for box office millions. (even though that would be nice)

Sounds a lot like "Sixth Sense" meets "The Others"...Sorry Hash...If I hadn't pointed that out, someone else would have...Try to think of something that's never been done before...Maybe some new villain that's somehow different than any other...Wish I could think of something myself...Maybe it would be best to leave that to the TRULY twisted brains on this board...I know they're here...I could probably only contribute some "manner of death" ideas...

umm i know but maybe at that time i thought it was a good story... but hey i know that i am gonna get better if i have critics ;) ..
k another story i worked on, it started like this.. that there is this coach found by the police and inside its all covered by blood and all the passenger are missing.. then all of a sudden a noise is heard in the luggage section of the coach.. when the police investigates it turns out to be a little boy of about 9 years old... now i am working on what happens next maybe someone can help... i was thinking that maybe it turns out that the boy turns into something and devours the passengers or something... if someone has a better idea... so write to me..

I have emailed the bunn but thought i'd put my two cents worth in here as well.
I think we should leave the gore, slash etc to hollywood unless you are a multimillionaire bunn - it would just look cheap unless you have the money for the special effects.
I think concentrating on the build-up and suspense would be the way to go - personnally the only movies which have scared me are those ones, particularly the ghost stories.
Perhaps concentrating on myth and legend and bringing it into the 21st century - but we would obviously need to find a lesser known legend which hasn't been done to death - they had a lot in medieval times and in the middle ages.
Cheers

Just an idea - very open to critism, derision, etc.

Ya we could make it look decent with just blood but the more grafic you want it like heads fallin off etc. its gonna get expensive fast.

I think this is a pretty good idea, i bet there are alot of good stories and legends we could use just floating around. We could even use one thats already been done as long as we put our own twist on it ya know. Definatly gonna agree with the suspense and build-up idea.

bunn100
12-08-2003, 02:13 PM
Again I totally agree with Arioch on that last point!!! (Arioch add me to MSN
[email protected] need to chat if possible)
So guys here is my idea for the movie (i wont go into great detail now but I will at a later date)
To put it simply it is a psychological roller coaster. It is the unraveling of a tortured soul.
What saves this film on the violence factor will be the moments inbetween the acts of violence (and sometimes during) and the context and deeper meaning they hold.
The main character is basically someone who intially self-harmed himself, but that was not enough and then he starts killing people (I do want the deaths to be as brutal as possible with new ideas and twists). The difference is that he knows killing is wrong and loathes it but he has too do it it has become an addiction like smoking or drinking it has become a habit he cannot break. So during the killing I wont to show him feeling remorse but then also brutality.
Then to cut a long story short it then becomes not enough to kill other people so he kils himself (and I would love his suicide to be the goriest of them all)
So the story will deal with issues such as addiction and right and wrong and self-harm and discipline.
Tell me what you think guys
heapodd
12-08-2003, 02:26 PM
Umm - sounds ok bunn - it seems from your post to be sort of a "horror" about the mess that society is in - i'm guessing the police would come into the picture at some point, with that amount of dead bodies following the "hero" around. However, do you not think this would become more of a psychological thriller along the lines of Se7en, rather than a true horror. If so, that is cool also.
I would also be interested in acting as welll as helping with scriptwriting, ideas - hell I'll do anything!
I was the lead role in many school plays. LOL

bunn100
12-08-2003, 02:45 PM
This will be the interesting thing yes to start off with the film will be a phycological thriller but then as it develops with the character it will become more and more of a horror due to the way the main character turns. As far as there will be increasingly more violence and the way in which he goes about creating this violence and wanting to witness the fear peolpe will have.
This is where the movie will be different from others cos I am thinking it will be a kinda of weird phycological thriller horror.
Hope you understand what I am trying to say lol.

Alright!! honestly i was hoping we would be heading in this direction but i didnt want to say anyone so i was keeping my mouth shut. Alot of people on here are turned off by psychological thrillers/horror movie, it seems if it doesnt have a huge monster or cg than the people around here (not all of them but a majority) turn their noses up at it. I cant understand it myself.
But if you think about it, this would be best for the amount of money we're workin with and the genre were goin for. Its gonna be hard to get alot of CGI or big monster fx with no big studio sponsorship dont you think guys? Im sure we'll have alot of good talent in on this and i know we're gonna make it kick ass.
Just pisses me off that when you use the word Psychological everyone on this board looses interest, open your minds people.
Sorry, had to rant.

I thought to do a true horror the budget and experience just was not there so the best way is to do a film like this.
Plus I think if we can capture the right atmosphere and mood this could be extremely haunting and disturbing.

Have been thinking about the serial killers genre - it is a well-known fact that nearly all are male - so as a twist we could have our main character as female - it would set it apart from the masses. (And women can be really mean)!
Probably not a good idea but am just throwing thoughts around.

Me made it obviously fucking clear that people did care and that it wasnt worth it, but watch i bet you anything horror.com gets blame thrown its way for this bullshit, we were the only things helping prevent it and when you think about it, if it wasnt for this board and allmykids it probably would have been a pretty gruesome scene.

I see your fron England, if you guys are shooting over there I doubt we have the finances to fly over there for any period of time (but I assure you, we'd like to :D ) to help. Yet we can still help over the internet. Basically we are willing to do what we can! Let me know!
