Blumhouse has lost it
I don't compare individual filmmakers to entire studios.

I'm still a fan of them, personally. They still produce some quality horror films and several of them are among my favorite films of their respective years. As for Michael Bay, I don't think it's fair to compare one filmmaker to a studio whose films are made by multiple filmmakers all with different directorial styles, but I'd be curious to hear why you believe that's the case.

I guess I would say "No" since they released the excellent The Invisible Man just this year and what they movie might have been in the wrong hands versus what it actually was in the right ones.
I see there's some ****ty-looking stuff on their plate too, but if you have a very good film on your plate also just this year, I can't say you've "lost it" yet.

Just saw Blumhouse's Black Phone tonight and finally figured out what bothers me so much about this production company. They're too mainstream, and too safe. Horror movies should be unsafe and uncertain.

Do you mean they're the new Platinum Dunes or the new filmmaker himself?

I HATED that movie. They took an awesome classic monster and turned him into a wife-beating-douche. Unforgivable.

is the movie good? me and my support worker gonna see it when its release here . i love horror movies
Madeleine McGraw was the one thing that I really liked about the movie. That girl can act, and her character was a blast.
… that would all depend on what you want from your horror movies. Me, I want dark, shocking and dreadful endings.

Why? Do you really think Bay does it all by himself?
I don't think it's that hard to compare a polished blumhouse mainstream movie with a polished mainstream Bay movie.

Interesting. I am a big fan of both Welles' book and Claude Rains' version and I really liked this a lot. Like, I wondered how they were going to translate that into the modern era and left thinking, "Oh, that's how."

Their in business to make money since they made a name for themselves long ago.
The crowd I was with seemed to enjoy it, but I had many problems with it. One, it's way too safe. Looking at the trailer, this could've been an extremely dark movie, but they played it way too safe. Two, a LOT of Ethan Hawke's character's choices really, really bugged me. It wasn't terrible, and you'll probably have a good time, but that would all depend on what you want from your horror movies. Me, I want dark, shocking and dreadful endings. I don't want to be categorized into a little American box saying that I need a safe and warm ending.
