Can't stand Lopez, but the Cell had some amzing visuals, but for the sheer visceral horror film that is the remake of The Hills Have Eyes, I have to vote for The Hills Have Eyes. I didn't see the third one, is it any good?

The_Return 08-10-2006 09:43 PM

Wow....I actually havent seen any of these yet:o

Based purely on it's fantastic concept, and the track record of some of its cast/crew, my vote goes to Bruiser.

bwind22 08-10-2006 11:25 PM

Bruiser & The Hills Have Eyes are tied at 1. The Cell is trailing.


Persuasion, yeah, Bruiser was pretty cool.

That's exactly how I feel about it...The horse scene was the precursor for the lawyer scene in Thirteen Ghosts...Think about that one for a second...

But...I haven't seen the other two...

I'm pretty sure I'd end up going with Hills Have Eyes...So, that's my choice

let's see, i walked out of the cell - i've only walked out of three movies in my 26 years. bruiser was good, but i the hills have eyes remake is just slightly better (not by much)

the hills have eyes

Hills leads Bruiser 4-3! The Cell is still stuck at 0.

Need more votes...



(You walked out of The Cell? How could you do such a thing? Even if you didn't like J-Lo, the visuals are nothing short of awesome.)

yes, i agree, the visuals are stunning, but i can't tolerate weak acting. it doesn't matter how good the cinematography, plot, or direction is. it all boils down to the actors' performance (for me) and if its majorly lacking, well...

notice i said "majorly lacking." i watch campy indie horror films all the time and love them b/c they don't try to be anything they're not. sure the acting can be horrendous but that's the fun part (among others). its movies like the cell that make me gag b/c it could have done leagues better w/ someone other than j-louse. if you're going to do a dramatic thriller you must have good acting. so i should have specified, i can't watch serious/dramatic horror when the acting is shitty.

The Hills Have Eyes (Remake)

Hills Have Eyes (Remake) wins with 7. Bruiser gets 2nd with 3 and The Cell ends with 0.

Next match coming right up...



Hills Have Eyes - I thought this was a pretty good remake, not as cool as TCM or Dawn remakes, but cool nonetheless.

The Cell - I liked this, but then again I like most of the stuff Vince Vaughn is in. I think he has a good deal of talent when it comes to picking out good movies. Cool looking, surreal and gory. I was entertained.

Bruiser- This was a pretty interesting and cool film if I'm remembering the right one. It's been a while since I saw it.

Round 3 - Match 21


*****PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL BE GOING OUT OF TOWN FROM TODAY (SATURDAY) UNTIL THURSDAY. ( I have the next week off so I thought I'd go to the cabin and do some relaxing. )

You can vote on this round, but this tournament will be on hiatus until I return. (I was hoping to get through Round 3 before I left, but there are still 5 matches left after this so that's not gonna happen.)

Sorry for the delay. Vacation was great. On with the show.



Final Destination 2 wins with 5, Secret Window comes in 2nd with 4 and Ring 0 gets 3rd with 3.

Next match coming right up.....




Final Destination 2 - Much like the first (and third) this film has some great 'make you jump' scenes as well as plenty of good goriness and 1 of my favorite kill scenes in any movie ever.

Ring 0 - I haven't seen this one.

Secret Window - I've seen this twice now and I don't know... I just can't seem to get in to it, which is odd because I happen to think John Turturro and Johnny Depp are two of the best character actors out there nowadays....
