ya got to read a lovecraft,its essential horror reading

Oh okay i get you now

Bridesmaids.
It was a decent watch.
A bit overhyped I thought, but then I can see why chicks would like a female-centric comedy like this a bit more than I would.
I thought it was entertaining and well written. Funny in some parts, sad in others. Felt like quite an "honest" film, and definitely indicated female jealousy issues quite well.
I'd say 6.5 out of 10 for me.

Grave Encounters

meh....some decent jumps....but overall, I'm getting kind of tired of the found-footage flicks.

Tony

It's a film about a serial killer, based on the muswell hill murderer from London. It's rather bleak, a bit in the vain of HEnry, which was obviously an influence for the filmmaker , this being their first feature as well.

Definitely a must see, if gritty independent movies are your thing.

8/10


Sugar Cookies

A 70's movie written by Lloyd Kaufman of Troma fame, also made by his first production company armor, it is about a lesbian seeking revenge ona porno producer.... pretty easy to watch exploitation seventies style with a very dark side.

7/10

Evidence (2011)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...c/Evidence.jpg

For more than 1st half of this 'found-footage' flick it was like another "there's something in the woods" story but then it suddenly takes an unexpected turn & become one big mess & mix of different ideas; i.e. Blair Wicth meets The Crazies meets REC. and so on (except Grave Encounters :D). It was fun nonetheless.

La hora fria aka The Dark Hour (2006)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...heDarkHour.jpg

A pretty decent Spanish apocalyptic, Sci-Fi Horror thriller with a great sad ending.

>>: B+


Backed with stellar performance from the cast, this is a beautifully made an intense Spanish Psychological thriller from Jaume Balaguero (one of the directors of modern classic [REC.] movies!) where the plot revolves around Cesar, who is a 'concierge' in an apartment complex. He lives day to day at the front desk at the service of the building's tenants, all while being a generally harmless and friendly individual; but Ceser is unhappy. The thing is he has a problem to find or cope with happiness & thus to tolerate upbeat people around him. And now he has find a way to make some 'adjustments' for his long awaited 'happiness'.
It's one of those films that will only work if the performances can carry it and Luis Tosar on the role of Cesar does an excellent job like he did in great Spanish prison-revolt thriller Cell 211. On his dramatic counterpoint, Marta Etura (who was also in Cell 211) presents an optimistic, positive-thinking young woman Clara.
The film capitalizes on some very atmospheric set pieces, as most of the scenes take place in Clara's apartment, or in the entryway of the apartment building. The tension builds slowly over a period of weeks, as Cesar becomes more courageous and aggressive with his 'plans'.

Overall, another great film from a REC. guy. Highly recommended.

Actually all the Russian "horror movies", which were made for the wide screen, are very mediocre. Funny fact - every given film was presented by its producers like a "first Russian horror movie" - and we still haven't at least one that would be really good:)

Watching The Right Stuff

Just watched "Jaws", now watching "Jeepers Creepers"

Cowboys and Aliens

I was surprised by that one. I went into it expecting some kind of Disney style family move, I was way off there.


I just finished The Human Centipede 2. I should have known better.

i liked jeepers creepers 1,forgot about that movie

The Woman

No where near as good as I expected after the reviews it received. Not frightening at all. However I feel it could have been if there had not been so much indie rock used through.

The songs just kept coming not allowing any atmosphere to build, it was just so overdone, like watching a horror movie with the juno soundtrack, so wrong on so many levels. I'd like to see it with all the songs removed and replaced by silence, it would be 10 times better.

But then also the ending was just pointless, it didn't even really let you draw a conclusion of your own, it just made no sense.

3.5/10

didnt think it was that bad,i definatly get what ya saying about the music though,kinda a supposively scary moment then,bam!!crankin juno type music ......ruined

I really enjoyed it. Believe it or not, this is the first time I've watched a Daniel Craig movie.

I have both movies, but prefer the first one.

Watching Jurassic Park II. Next up will be Jurassic Park III.

What's Your Number?

My roommate made me watch this and it's actually not that bad. It helps that i like the actors.

Watched Argeno's Phenomena this morning, taped off the Horror Channel. One crazy movie (in a good way!) What's not to love about a chimp with a blade and a deformed killer child being eaten by flies???:D

Nothing. Nothing at all.

It's the rest of the movie that's the problem.

Watched The Thing [2011]....I enjoyed it.....didn't think the CGI was overdone at all. And if you watched the 1982 Thing right after it syncs up perfectly.

>> Columbus Circle (2012) : C

>> Machine Gun Preacher (2011) : B

>> Justice League: Doom (2012) : B+

>> Elevator (2011) : B-

Paranormal Activity 3: Stupid, pointless, shit.... I've tried to stick with this franchise, thought the first film was pretty good even though some of it irritated me. I don't know whether the 3rd film is the worst of the bunch or it just frustrated me the most, but either way I wasnt impressed. No tension, no scares, no plot just large spells on monotony interspersed with a loud bang.

havnt seen that yet,but how you explained it was kinda what i was expecting.the first one was kinda unique and interesting and the second was starting to get boring.
i cant beleive they are making a 4th.they always ruin a good(well..ok)movie by doin a thousand sequals or remakes.need to no when to give it up!

The Woman In Black

Dull. I just couldn't get into it.

The Sitter

Average stuff really. Not overly funny. Pretty much a poor man's Adventures In Babysitting but with more dick and fart jokes.

Goon

Liked this one. Entertaining, funny and quite dark in parts.

Moneyball

Not really my thing but the cast worked well together and made it watchable.

Hatchet 2. Very cool stuff. Breaks the common rule that sequel is always worst than original.

Yeah I enjoyed that one more than the original.

The Spiral Staircase

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038975/

Excellent, I loved it. This movie definitely influenced giallo films, with the black gloves on the killer to the brandy everyone seems to be drinking. I can tell it also influenced many modern slasher movies but the difference is this is a really good film, with great acting, sets and cinematography. Its even got a Barrymore in it so how can you go wrong?

Rob Zombie's Halloween II.

Do you mean the remake?-I haven't seen it. But I really think you would adore the original if you haven't seen it-there's only one "jump" scene but it is so out of the blue you do actually get shook up. It's more a cumulation of many creepy scenes, with a level of dread throughout the movie that is very hypnotic and you are completely mesmerized as the horrors all build up on top of each other much like a gates of hell film does but obviously without any gore or dark humour (though they are deadly serious at the same time as is The Woman In Black)

Have you seen Viy? I adore that film hugely underrated.

I'm sold-cheers for the rec.

Just finished watching Lake Placid 3.... Best film I've seen about killer crocs this year.

Haha I'm pretty behind I wasn't aware of the sequels :o

Must be really really good then.

angras more into films with big black eels in them :D

And by big black eels you mean big black...eels?


Wtf man??!!

Yes, I did. And this movie is not a crap. But Viy is the part of classical Soviet cinema legacy (and, of course, it was based on the strong classical fundament), and it have nothing to do with the modern shit. We cannot consider this movie like a "Russian horror", because it was "Soviet horror".
Well, actually we have here a few pretty strong horror movies made in undergound community, but when it comes to wide screen, the situation is very sad.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1687901/

it had it's moments but it just took from other movies and was like i had seen this before, this was, in my opinion, a ponderous, badly scripted, poorly thought out affair. Must have looked at my watch about five times after the first half hour.

Made it through Urban Legends 3 and Cursed last night.
