terrible, terrible movie

did you like his other films

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.

i'm assuming you're not talking about the chris smith doc that i've been meaning to see for years

xp

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.

liked old boy, hated lady vengeance

P2 is dope - ondemand all star

Trick r' Treat
Splinter
Them

hated lady vengeance

u mad

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

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?

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

app i like the word really

Diary of the Dead kind of sucked unfortunately, imho.

bug is terrrrrrible

I kinda loved Thirst and don't get the hate.

For:
Drag Me to Hell
The Descent
28 Days/Weeks Later
Pontypool
Inside
Rec
The Children
Home Movie
The Loved Ones (brilliant, funny Aussie horror)
The Strangers

Against:
Martyrs
Paranormal Activity
Hostel (never saw Hostel 2)
all the remakes (Friday the 13th, Halloween, Hills Have Eyes, etc.)
most big J-horror

also The Signal is pretty rad.

lol doesnt the signal have the same premise as the s.king novel cell??

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

havent seen the orphanage which is supposed to be a pretty good spanish horror film

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

but it's essentially "Resident Evil" in Spanish.

you mean the game, not the movie, right?

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).

and this is the part of the thread where I rep for 30 days of night

I watched it a second time and enjoyed it a lot more than the first time

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y176/edwardiii/30_days_of_night.jpg

now let's talk about the mist again

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.

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

the mist was great

xpost oh man i thought the ending was perfect

xxpost yeah 30 days of night fell off for me as well

the mist didnt suck but it surely tried my patience pretty much any time some1 made a speech in the cereal aisle

do u h8 cereal?

i fucking loved the mist

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.

see, i liked that the short story and the movie had different endings!

i wanted the one chick to be like I SOLD ALL THE BULLETS TO BUY U THAT NINTENDO DS U SD U WANTED LOL

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.
