Metaphors within metaphors....perhaps Michael Myers is a metaphor for the brother Laurie lost? ::smile:::halloween:

It might "feed" on depressed people.

silliness ensues
 

just watched tusk....hmmmm....well first off the cast, justin long puts in his usual performance but why haley joel osment even bothered is beyond me, very poor, micheal parks and johnny depp are their usual mad over the top selves and steal the show, especially parks who i think is much over looked.

now the film itself, it starts steady enough and has a sense of foreboding once long enters parks house, it builds a little and then theres the bloody walrus suit and thats when it gets beyond silly for me and it lost me.

is it worth watching, for parks and depp alone id say yes, apart from them its very average.

Amazingly sick and fucked up film.

It might. Or screaming annoying children.::roll eyes::

Last horror film i saw was the babadook. Great film to.

My friend wrote a review of it. http://www.alternativenation.net/review-babadook/

I LOVE Gun Woman!!! What an awesome story and epic gore. And yes, I completely agree about the super gross villain-guy. Super gross.

I was thinking the actor playing that French detective was very much acting like Johnny Depp! Damn! I failed to recognize him!::embarrassment:: Anyway, agree with Angra...quite a sad movie indeed.
When the credit was rolling, it just came to my mind...how about Kevin Smith team up with Tom Six and produce a crossover short flick...The Tusk Centipede!?!::big grin::

>>: B+

Hope to see the Gun Woman^^ soon, bought the dvd couple of weeks back but somehow forget about it :danger:

If Tom Six and Kevin Smith co-directed a movie together, that would be disturbing on a number of levels, but I would definitely watch it.

Animal 2014

6/10. Another run-o-the-mill monster-movie. I generally enjoy monster movies. As soon as the cliche group of young-adults arrive at their campsite, I get all excited and start guessing which one will be decapitated or die during sex. However, this one was nothing to write home about. Very derivative and boring. It felt like a hundred movies I've seen before and had no special quality at all. I will say, that the creature effects were not bad.

Among Friends 2012

5/10. I was pumped for this and sadly let down. "Scream Queen" Danielle Harris' director debut about a group of people attending an 80's theme murder-mystery dinner party that goes awry. I thought the concept was fantastic, but terribly executed. All of the great ideas were there and it had a LOT of potential.. but it just fell completely flat. And the ending! How terrible. I think maybe she was overwhelmed with deadlines and didn't know how to finish up the story or something. What a mess. I must give her some credit for the cool concept and the intriguing direction she was going.. but must also shake my head for the complete mess she made of something that could have been spectacular.

meh
 

half way through roadside...like phonebooth in the woods, not breaking any boundaries yet.

I got to see this! You're right, I love the concept too.

So this was different. I think to enjoy this movie, you need to be a fan of Kevin Smith's work as it really doesn't cater to the non-fan. Even as a fan of his, I thought going in this would be a horror movie but it's really more of a disturbing dark comedy except it's not very funny. It is disturbing at parts and just weird in others. For this to have been a successful horror movie, the main character needed to be likable which he wasn't here. In movie's like this, the fear comes from putting yourself in the place of the main character and feeling what they feel but you can't do that when the main character is an insufferable douchebag. I really couldn't have cared less what happened to him. But despite some of the Kevin Smith weirdness and Johnny Depp's ridiculous cameo, it is actually entertaining and disturbing even with the dumb ending. Worth a watch if you're bored or a Kevin Smith fan.
5/10

Yeah, the reviews I've heard echo a similar sentiment. I'm so interested in seeing it - I need to update the ol' Netflix queue!

I half expected you to comment and say how angry you were that I spoiled Johnny Depps role for you. ::big grin::

You should check it out. Its weird but interesting

Oculus' (2013)
-Karen Gillan

Plot:
A young woman is convinced that an antique mirror has supernatural powers and is responsible for the death and misfortune that her family has suffered. Her brother after years of counseling believes it's all in her mind.

Phantoms Review:
The film takes place in two different times: the present and eleven years ago.The two plots are told in parallel through flashbacks.
Becomes of this you really have to pay attention, but this is a well acted psychological/horror film.
The film is a bit of a slow burn , but it's well made and keeps your intrest. No real major BOO! scenes , but a nice creepy atmosphere. If your a fan of gore or big FX , skip this one, this is more of a mind game.
I think my only big complaint is (possible *Spoilers*) that this is yet another horror film where the "bad guys" win, and you finish the film feeling kind of depressed, (end * Spoilers*).
Outside of that , it's a decent little movie, nothing great, but watchable.

Hahahahaha ::big grin::

I thought it was fantastic. I've seen it 6 times, and it's my second favorite horror movie.

Wow you need to watch more horror movies then

Again, it's just my opinion.

I wonder what your 10 favorites are.
Don't mean that in a condescending way. Just curious what the younger generation likes.
As much as I like some of the newer movies, most of the older classics will always be my favorites. Probably because I grew up with them like you grow up with yours. I think it's the same for most of us here.
Time's the best judge. In 10 years or so you might think some of your current favorites are stupid. While some will be still as good or even better.

Maybe, maybe not. I try not to bias myself against other generations of movies.

This is in no particular order:

Alien, The Thing, The Fly, Oculus, [REC], Rosemary's Baby, The Ring, Insidious, Halloween, The Shining

Maybe, maybe not. I try not to bias myself against other generations of movies.

This is in no particular order:

Alien, The Thing, The Fly, Oculus, REC, Rosemary's Baby, The Ring, Insidious, Halloween, The Shining

Mostly classics and some of your time.
Same in my case. And I guess for most people.

Which version of The Fly? 50s or 80s?

I would think the remake, the original is a poor film in my humble opinion, but that's all it is, my opinion.

Just watched open windows, a novel idea which becomes very convoluted quickly, and turns into a very different film about 2 thirds of the way through, quite a twisty ending but guessable for anyone with a taste for these movies. No spoilers here lol.

The Pyramid (2014)
http://filmjunk.com/images/weblog/20...thepyramid.jpg

Pseudo Found footage film that is riddled with cliches, bad acting and a plot that runs by the numbers. Considering this, i liked it more that I should.That kid from the Inbetweeners puts in an embarrassing performance.



I think ChronoGrl might like it though...

And horcrux.

80's. Only seen parts of the original.

I'm gonna give it a shot this weekend.

And its my opinion that its weird for Oculus to be on anyone's favorite horror movie list since it wasn't very good.

Okay, then don't tell me that I "need to watch more horror movies" because my opinions aren't the same as yours.

I need to check this out!!

A must on my list!!

I have to agree, I thought Oculus was slow and rather boring.

Thanks for the heads up on this - very solid film.

Most of the classics are in my top 10, while more new movies are in maybe my top 25, like The Grudge, V/H/S, Paranormal Activity, American Psycho, Cloverfield, etc.

I thought Oculus was great. Genuine scares and creepiness. Katie Sakoff was chilling and fantastic. And I was impressed with Gillan. Sure, I was distracted at first; I couldn't get my mind out of thinking Amy Pond was trying to kill a mirror, but ultimately the script and her performance was solid enough to let me forget. The guy who played her brother was a weak link but I legit liked this one.

The Mule (2014)
B
"A first time drug mule is caught by law enforcement."
Nice Aussie crime-comedy/drama with one really disgusting scene.
It was nice to see Walter from Fringe again.

The Equalizer (2014)
B
Denzel Washington in what could be a Jason Statham movie.
Good casting/acting and some great action.

Its not just your opinion. I just can't believe that out of all the horror movies throughout history that generic boring mirror movie would make it to your number 2. It tells me the kind of taste you have in horror films and shows me that you need to watch more because there must be some you haven't seen.

Exactly how I felt

I was bored out of my mind and the pacing was terrible. I couldn't connect to the characters. The acting was bad and it wasn't scary.

Well, your Highness, not everyone shares your opinion. It's one of my favorite horror movies. Only person that's going to change that is myself, and unless there are 9 other movies that I think are better, it's not going to change for a while.

I liked Brenton Thwaites. It was the first movie I saw him in. He was also in Maleficent, which I didn't like at all, and he was also in The Signal. He was better in The Signal IMO.

watching world war z again.
