If so, I'm just dense or something cause I never read anything stating that when I signed up.

Kairo AKA Pulse and the Japanese Grudge felt pretty "epic" at points. The American Pulse may do the same if the trailers are any indication.

Yup, the company that finally gave Del Toro the OK and produced the movie went bankrupt. I think they tried pitching it to other companies again, but even with the succesful first movie, they're back to square 1 with the hell they went through the first time. Originally Posted by Tish-the-Scorpion

Etc, etc. Makes one wonder how movies /ever/ get made. I understand that a movie is seperate from whatever it's based on, but sheesh.

The most epic horror movie I can think of is probably the Exorcist. Eventhough you never really see anything other than what is going on in the house, there is definately hints to something bigger and far more apocalyptic going on. I think it really works on levels that arent exactly stated in the movie, but thats almost what makes it so scary.

I agree with the post several up that said Bram Stoker's Dracula, was Coppola's attempt at making an epic horror flick. As was Brannagh's Frankenstein.
But, sad to say, I don't think we will get a huge epic horror ala, Lord of the Rings, anytime soon...or at least until America tries to redo Nightwatch trilogy (oh, and I'll say it now, this movie was too freaking Russian, it wasn't good. All I kept thinking the whole time I was watching it was, damn, imagine if an American director, and good actors got into this. Now I would watch that movie.), or if an A list director (Spielberg, Lucas, Cameron, Jackson) decided they wanted to do one. Or, if someone wants to make a non-Courtney Solomon version of The Bell Witch legend, with all the bells and whistles, like good actors, good script, and The Bell Witch vs. Andrew Jackson, then we will not have an epic horror movie.We'd like to wish EZMOHR all the best in his future....ah forget it.

I guess Van Helsing is an epic considering he did fight Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolfman and Mr. Hyde in one movie. It wasn't good but I consider that epic.

How about Neil Jordan's Interview With the Vampire? I know that Anne Rice isn't everyone's cuppa on CBR, but the movie adaptation was pretty riveting, and epic in scope and budget. Plus Kirsten Dunst freaked me out completely as a pre-teen vampire!
I know it's a TV production, but how about The Stand? That was almost Biblical in its scope, complete with the Devil in the form of Randall Flagg.Intellect and Romance over Brute Force and Cynicism!

Epic? I just wish they'd make new horror movies scary again.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "epic"? You mean, like ambitious in scope? It seems to me, the best horror films are low-budget and small in scope.
2004's remake of Dawn of the Dead was somewhat ambitious and epic. Showing a future apocalyptic world of chaos and zombies. They did a nice job with it and I'd vote that as an "epic horror film".

No kidding. At some point Horror flicks stopped being about trying to scare started being about trying to make us puke. Originally Posted by david r

Much of modern horror doesn't seem to be for people who want a good scare, but for sickos who get off on pseudo-snuff.
