i rep for 'rec' btw. not sure about the upcoming sequel since the demonic possession/religious stuff in the first one seemed pretty weak & tacked on, but i hope it's good.
I thought REC was great. I wasn't looking forward to the sequal but the one report I've heard about it was positive, so...
I didn't much care for the Brit horror movies mentioned above - Eden Lake, Severance, whathaveyou - though none are as bad as The Cottage. srsly do not watch the Cottage.
(oh wait, Brit horror The Descent was excellent).

martyrs fucked me up - i think i started a thread on it/french horror
the last house on the left remake was way less hateful and violent than the original but i kept getting distracted cuz the avenging moneyed class heroes had this fishy shadow over innsmouth look to them
i rep for it in basic ever ile horror film thread but home movie is the best dv/found footage horror movie ive seen - one of the best build-ups in a move ive seen recently

did anybody see friedkin's bug? seems like it might be good in an off the wall kind of way.

bug was kinda bad, with some good parts. it would be better on stage, i'm guessing.

The Haunting In Connecticut
i may have this mixed up w/ one of the other stories abt waspy white kids w/demons but was this the one with the medium and the sick kid? i liked it too although i almost felt it was more like a suspense or mystery film - washed out and grainy look and how sick and sallow every1 looked reminded me of british crime dramas
lol i have terrible taste but i also really vibed cry_wolf which is a pretty tense but hilarious teen horror/murder mystery
bug sucked btw

home movie not on netflix :(

It didn't scare me, but The Devil's Rejects was certainly the best horror-ish film of this time span. Inland Empire is beyond genre, but without a doubt the scariest movie I've seen in the last five years.

jordan i think home movie is (certainly was) only available on ifc/comcast video on demand if u have it
lol @ inland empire. slocki iirc ud rep for the final destination series right? i think theyre good entertainment a+ death sequences imo
[rec]/quarantine are aight but not as great as the premise promises. havent seen the orphanage which is supposed to be a pretty good spanish horror film

the signal is a good one but it's so weird that i don't recommend it to many people
― access flap (omar little), Thursday, 22 October 2009 20:27 (fourteen years ago) link
i never saw diary of the dead b/c of bad reviews, but apparently i like camcorder/found footage zombie movies, so maybe i should give it a shot?
― Ømår Littel (Jordan), Thursday, 22 October 2009 20:28 (fourteen years ago) link
btw if you see one of rec/quarantine, you really really dont need to see the other one, startlingly slavish remake for the most part, a few degrees south of that goddamn psycho redo
xpost i thought the signal was great great great, but yeah, really odd

"The Orphanage" is surprisingly moving, even sentimental. "rec" isn't bad, but it's essentially "Resident Evil" in Spanish.

It's good. But more of a ghost story/mystery than an outright horror film.

how awesome does embodiment of evil look? I can't believe I've had this sitting unwatched on a shelf for 4 months.

Pontypool is a decent low-budget zombie movie (as in, you only see a few zombies).

30 days of night got off to such a great start, and i was so excited about it, and then it just stopped being scary and turned cartoonish

The Mist - Good movie, shite ending.
― smashing aspirant (milo z), Thursday, 22 October 2009 21:12 (fourteen years ago) link
really wanted it to be a creep-o slow burner, but noooooooo
i had forgotten about the ending of the mist, in my mind it stops with the fucking giant skeleton elephant thing
― Ømår Littel (Jordan), Thursday, 22 October 2009 21:13 (fourteen years ago) link
the mist was great

The movie and the short story deserved something better than a LOL GOTCHA ending.
Cut to black after they count bullets and look at each other.

There's some superior fan made "Mist" ending on youtube. Or at least there was. Maybe this is it?

Love the option of watching the movie in black and white on DVD. Makes the gore less gratuitous.

nah, THIS is how the movie should have ended

The Orphanage was pretty good, kinda similar to The Haunting in Connecticut in that it sort of sheds its horror movie skin by the end
