I really liked that one too

I lasted alittle longer than you, but ended up turning it off. It had some beautiful screen shots and the snowy backgrounds were awesome but this film was CGIed all over the place...ewwww. Make a movie, use real scenery. The little girl was awesome and creatures okay...but that couldn't hold me to this.

Welcome. : ) Yeah 5.5. The acting wasn't anything special except for Citizen X. The sets were also meh. The 'bad guys' were cut outs with no depth. Some of the scenes were too convenient and over done. So yeah 5.5. Suck it. ;)

::big grin:: Well, I'll accept your opinion out of respect, but there's no way I'm gonna suck it.

I thought that would be the surprise twist part. If they find that out early on or the audience is aware I guess it's not a twist. Oh well. I'll probably forget about that by the time I get to see the movie anyway.

Odd... I expected most of you to like this one. So far it doesn't look too promising. No siree.. ::roll eyes::

I love all the Hellraiser movies, except the third which I just enjoyed. Oh and maybe another one needs a rewatch to make sure.

ANYWAY

I tried watching Levithan: The Story of Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II.

I made 28 minutes of the 4 and a half hours. The opening credits sequence is laughable. You get to watch people go on about how great it was making the films and verbally masturbating about how Clive Barker is a genius. Which is fine, but it does not make for interesting viewing. Everyone had fun, everyone loved the experience, Clive's a great pal and genius. Yay.

I just couldn't take anymore. I tried skipping ahead at various points, more of the same.

As far as I could tell Clive Barker was not interviewed at all for this. There's a second part, an additional DVD, but I haven't watched that.

2/10. 2 because its Hellrasier related, otherwise it'd be a one.

Untraceable (2008)

I love me a good crime movie, so I'm glad this one made up for the disaster that was FeardotCom that I watched yesterday. In Untraceable, FBI agent Jennifer Marsh has to hunt down a seemingly untraceable serial killer who posts live videos of his victims getting tortured and killed, and as more people log onto the site, the victim will be killed more quickly. Now, I don't know anything about computers and stuff like that, so I'm not sure how realistic this movie really is. I'll admit I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to that. Even if there are some huge tech flaws that flew way over my head, Untraceable did have a couple of major issues. Like many thrillers, the killer seems to be god-like; he seems to have unlimited resources and intelligence, and it would have been nice to see him stumble a few times to at least build more suspense. They also reveal the identity of the killer way too early into the plot. Anonymity would have added a layer of mystery to the film. Nevertheless, Untraceable was a very entertaining, gritty and intense thriller with an interesting moral compass; why should we watch insanely violent and gory movies like Saw, Seven or even the movie itself? It may be rather hypocritical given how violent this film is, and that moral does get a little preachy by the end of this movie. It's still some intriguing food-for-thought. You might not be completely satisfied if you want a completely coherent and terrifying thriller, but if you want a twisty, edge-of-your-seat kind of movie, Untraceable is a great way to go.

8/10

I remember feardotcom being surprisingly good. What did you dislike about it?

I don't think there was anything I actually liked about it. I felt angry at myself when I finished it.

FeardotCom is ridiculously awesome! ::love::

Wishmaster (1997)
Second viewing since it got released.
The movie is far from perfect but it's a fun watch.

Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies (1999)
Don't remember seeing this one before.
Dumber than the first one but more entertaining.

Anyone know if the other two sequels are worth a watch?

The Possession of Michael King (2014)

This is just one of those movies I found on Netflix that looked slightly interesting. In this sudden resurgence of the possession genre, The Possession of Michael King is just another lame entry. The Possession of Michael King concerns an atheist who is making a documentary trying to disprove the supernatural. He participates in multiple satanic rituals to show that even the darkest magic is fake, and realizes that it's actually real. And then demons. Despite its admittedly interesting premise, The Possession of Michael King is just another boring assault on the ears since every five minutes the movie decides to throw in an unnecessarily gratuitous jump scare without any sort of suspense leading up to it. I actually had to turn the volume down on my computer so low that I could barely hear the dialog. Instead of delving into the science vs religion themes presented in the first act, the film just goes straight to the satanic rituals, bodily deterioration and gross-out scares. It never really entertains, scares or gives the viewer something original and rather gives us a barrage of pointless jump scares and a been-there-done-that story. If you want an exorcism movie that does the science vs religion trope correctly, I suggest The Last Exorcism. Otherwise, stay away from this generic and dull flick.

3/10

The Raven
*last day for it on Netflix*

"A brilliant-but-boozy author, Edgar Allen Poe, and a Balitmore cop try to solve a string of baffling murders inspired by Poe's macabre short stories."

I liked it. kind of like RDJ's Sherlock Holmes with the drama and intense scores, but much more geared towards adult audiences. The deaths (if you are at all familiar with Poe's works) are quite bloody and full of creative genius. The two leads played well off each other, and were enjoyable enough to watch. I can't think of a whole lot to say on it, but if you wish to give it a watch I say go for it.

At The Devil's Door

I loved it. I like movies that keep me guessing and this one did. There are times that the film gives you what you are expecting, but just as often they flip things around enough to leave you on not so solid ground. Fine acting doesn't hurt and there's some strong work on screen here.

As supernatural movies go, At The Devil's Door doesn't look, feel or even sound like the glut of recent possession flicks. It's refreshingly light on jump scares, preferring more subtle ways of putting the frighteners on its audience. Conversely, there is one scene that something really creepy happens, but the director drops it right in our laps and just as quickly pulls it away, and it very effectively left me asking if what just happened,,,well, happened.
There is one other thing that really stood out about this one, but it would require a spoiler, and I aint that kinda dude. My advice is to give it a try. It's one of the rare films that I feel confident recommending to anyone who likes dark and thoughtful horror.

The Gallows, 2015. POS/10




The worse movie I have ever seen in my life. Fuck this POS. Who in the fuck names their kid, Fifer. ::sad::

Yet somehow you liked feardotcom

Goodnight Mommy, 2014. 7/10




Beautiful cinematography and you can see subtle hints throughout their house and through actions that all come into play and wrap up this film nicely.

Rubber (2010)


A tire becomes alive, has homicidal tendencies and goes on a rol.
This one falls in the category "And now for something completely different".
It was pretty good and brilliant at times. If they took a different approach it would've been a cult classic imo.


Grave Encounters 2 (2012)


Not great, not bad, just ok.
But there were some things I really liked.

I kinda dug that one. I mostly just liked the setting, and I loved the map of the asylum thing they had going on.

Personally the crazy guy they found in the house was my favorite part. Kinda lost me at the random black hole thing though... Couldn't have just been evil spirits corrupting their souls or something nooo had to go all bad CGI 3rd dimension on us.

Idk. maybe that was just me.

Who in the fuck names their kid Pilot Inspektor, Dweezil, and Moon Unit?

Hippies.

Pretty funny::big grin:: Really liked the scene where the guy gets his guts flushed down the toilet::big grin::
Dude Bro Party Massacre 3

Yeah that part was stupid...

feardotcom 2002 rewatch

The movie is basically what you'd expect from the title. With one exception.

The film is about a website that's killing people. A detective and an infectious disease type expert are the main characters.

My impression is that there was once a decent script, but whoever had the real control over the film altered it in bad ways. Things are much too convenient. The main characters become close way too fast. The film takes place in about 3 days. Which leads the characters to holding each other for comfort and a hint at sex. The back story of the film is barely explained. There's even this line: "I've been doing some research, she was afraid of water." Research? How? Where? That fast? Pshaw.

What saves this film, which makes it worth at least one watch is the visual aspect. The sets, the lighting, locations chosen, camera work, etc are all amazing. Visually this film is fantastic. Its directged by the same person that did the remake of House On Haunted Hill and Parasomnia. Haven't seen Parasomnia though. Visually I think its better than House On Haunted Hill. Dark, closed in, the light of a day a glaring exception. Anyway, worth watching once.

5.5/10

PS-I had said earlier it was 'surprisingly good.' It really is due to the title I had expected it to be 3/10 or less.

Worth one watch??? Huh, I own it! ::love::

Frank Zappa?

Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)

By the time the fifth installment of a movie franchise rolls around, that series starts to show its age. Not with Mission: Impossible, it seems, because Rogue Nation is yet another incredibly silly yet undeniably entertaining entry in the 17 year old franchise that keeps you on the edge of your seat for the entire movie. This time around, Ethan Hunt is now an international fugitive and must take on his most impossible mission (heh) to bring down the rogue organization Syndicate, who are committed to bring down the IMF. The plot twists keep you on your toes the whole time, and it's really what makes Rogue Nation so thrilling. It does succumb to the normal spy movie goofiness, one time in particular early in the movie that made me shake my head at how ridiculous the whole idea was. The double, triple and quadruple crosses get rather confusing as the plot progresses too. There's never a dull moment in Rogue Nation, a suitably fun and over-the-top summer blockbuster, and it proves that Tom Cruise is an unstoppable action star.

9/10

I own it, too!

How could anyone enjoy that?

Not everyone has the same tastes, dude.

Your reply when someone thought you overrated a movie:

If someone could tell me how they liked it then that'd be fine but no one really has.

It was fun... That's the only reason anyone really needs. It had some little jump scares and was far ahead of its time as far as internet based horror goes. It plays better than most found footage does now and far better than most internet based horror movies do now.

To each their own.

Found footage? Did we watch the same movie?

Harbinger Down (2015)

Had a lot of potential but I was a bit disappointed.
Bigger budget, better director and a few changes in the script and this could've been pretty sweet.
