For many years, I have been envisioning a movie similar to "The Blob", but it involves one that oozes underground between the particles of soil, turning the soil it is present in, into quicksand, which is how it devours its prey!
Perhaps this is the one!
ghostofmyeyes wrote:Based on the script review I linked, it sounds like this vore quicksand will already be rapidly digesting people before they've even submerged - there will be pain and gore/body horror - like in The Sand (2015) or The Blob (1988). Not my thing.
However, it seems to be during the second sink that the first mention that "it burns" is made and the first gore revealed - perhaps when the first girl sinks, it will be played indistinguishably from a regular quicksand scene, enjoyable to the likes of me (with a bit of mental compartmentalization).
I wonder if this poster for the movie "
Blood Beach" is representative of what to expect? I decided to link to it instead of showing it here, due to its gore!

As soon as I saw the star's name, Van Dien, I figured it must be Caspar Van Dien's daughter. Yep. Looks like his daughter is going to pay for all his near misses with everything from Starship Troopers to Tarzan. That does make her Robert Mitchum's grandaughter though so unlike dad, maybe she's more than just a pretty face. From what I can discern about the script it sounds like more of a gore-fest then anything I'd be interested in but hey, The Raft was all about sentient sludge and it had moments. We'll see.

Funny you mentioned
The Raft. I just mentioned to someone the other day that
Creepshow 2 (
The Raft) should be an honorable mention QS scene.

Over the past while, looking at the
earlier AI images posted in the
AI Creations forum, I would every once in a while come across an image that reminded me of "The Raft", because the mud sometimes seemed to form wormlike tendrils that ran up through the victim's skin!

Aww I was sad when I read the script, and there were guys along for the ride. Could have been a group of ladies. A little more saddened when it sounds like the first girl gets a meh sink and the guy get the attention scene. I am curious if this ever comes out to rent

I hope they don’t go forward with the dissolving acid feature of the monster they used in the 2018 version. Firstly for personal reasons, and also because it would feel too similar to the Creepshow 2 segment or the SCP.

Gruesome dissolving flesh death might not make for good sinking scenes but it definitely sounds like an epic horror movie. Will definitely have to give it a watch if it ever gets made.
This'll be like our version of "Jaws". You'll never go into the mud again!
