Lemming (2005)

A supernatural tale of possession or a surreal nightmarish psycho-thriller where two seemingly different couples just played musical chairs with their identities??

The fascinating part is you can put it into either category as there's no definite answer at the end. With the usual flavor of a dark French thriller, director Dominik Moll's earlier hit With a Friend like Harry was more of a homage to Hitchcock but in Lemming, there's clear Lynchian influence as the line between dream and reality gradually vanishes and what appear to be supernatural occurrences could be explained as the product of guilt or shattered trust of a seemingly normal conjugal life.

The well known few faces of modern French cinema convincingly shines in their respective roles in this beautifully plotted 2 hour long gripping thriller; surely a definite watch for HDC's twisted dark thriller lovers.

Not bad overall as they made it pretty simple with few varieties of prehistoric creatures.

100 Ghost Street: The Return Of Richard Speck (2012)

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

In terms of spooky encounters & creep factors I think it's much better than Asylum's earlier infamous serial killer-found footage film Gacy House or that recent Whaley House flick. It centers around not particularly a paranormal ghost hunting team, rather than a TV crew filming a documentary who often tries to make contact with the spirit of Richard Speck by calling his name. Yeah...it obviously at times stupid but liked the way how quickly the movie kicks off its spook-business & quite finely carried it all through the way with some decent SFX works in ghostly encounters. As Mr. Speck was a killer & rapist, so they added a Entity like scene in the middle the chaos which was nicely done considering it's an Asylum feature.

Overall, a worthy watch for the fans of Grave Encounters;) This time I really kinda liked it. :D

From A Whisper To A Scream (1987) Excellent gory horror anthology. The first story is by far the weakest and a bit messily delivered but things improve markedly with the rest of the stories-something for everyone :)

The Oxford Murders.


8/10


Good movie. Ending coulda been better. But I found the movie to be very interesting. I love a good long Mystery like this. Anybody know a similar film?

just one of the guys okay let the picking start lol

Oh right also saw Detention. I liked it :U

7.5/10

aw really ? I love rob zombies movies. I thought it was good I don't know I guess just watching the movie for the second time I picked up on things I didn't pick up on the first time. with the zombie halloweens I really like that he gives a background to Michael Myers. I mean in the original obviously he was crazy but whatever lol I don't know. I always like to know the background of killers to understand why they do the things the do. that's just me though. what didn't you like about it ?

silent scream 2005 2 out of 10 stars

sounds like a must see

lol............

I'm guessing you meant to quote me and not yourself.

I like Zombie's films too. House of 1000 Corpses and Devils Rejects were great and i enjoyed the Halloween remake as i appreciated what he tried to do. The first half was really good but it fell apart at the end. But i have to disagree with you on the background thing, it was cool seeing how he came to be and all that but when it came time for him to be The Shape, it just didnt work. He didn't have the prowess and creep factor he did in the original when you know he was just a whacked out kid who was bullied. Still though i enjoyed the remake.

Now the sequel, that was a mess. None of the characters were the same. He changed and raped every character of who they were. Loomis became a complete douchebag celebrity, for godsakes. He even turned Micheal Myers into a bearded hobo. I get that he wanted to do his own thing and of course it had to be the same redneck hillbilly thing he does in all his movies but it doesn't even connect with his remake. How are you going to make a sequel that doesn't connect with the original? I know a lot of people say he did that with Devil's Rejects but i just saw him expanding on House of 1000 Corpses with that whereas H2 and Halloween were nothing alike.

Not only that but the story, the acting, the writing were all terrible. What the hell was with that horse thing? The whole thing was a mess, it didnt make any sense, wasn't scary, wasn't interesting. It was just bad.

....................agree

I don't know about the other two but I really liked Splinter, it was creative and vicious and it made me nervous to watch it. The special FX were done really well without being over the top.

I too enjoyed Splinter.

Just saw Lawless. The ending wasn't bad but the rest was pretty boring. I really think Tom Hardy shouldnt do movies unless he's allowed to use his real voice. He seems to struggle with accent's and just mumbles a lot.

Guy Pearce looked absolutely ridiculous and was the most pansy ass villain i've ever seen.

Why was Gary Oldman in this? Did he just need a paycheck? He was barely in the movie.

Last thought, way too much Shia Labeouf

s&man doc not for kids

Just the 2nd viewing.

Frat House Massacre (2008)
The title of this suggests that it is going to be your average teenage slasher, but it is nothing of that sort at all. It is set in 1978 US but besides the disco soundtrack and the clothes the characters wear, it isn’t very convincingly 1978 in comparison to films that were actually made in 1978. However the film is alarmingly mean-spirited and sadistic, making it more like a teen exploitation film. Though the story isn’t very original, the delivery certainly is. Plus there are surprising elements that take the film way beyond simple slasher territory. Beginning with the title-referencing massacre which when seen towards the end in its full blood-drenched glory, makes the events in “The Final” look like a manufactured conveyor belt boy band “music” video. Astonishing and pleasingly disturbing.

I guess Elvis also said positive things about this movie months ago. Gonna download it soon.

Resident Evil- 6.5/10

So bad, but so impossible not to love.

What did you think of it?

Loved it for what it was. Interesting premise, over-the-top imaginative characters, some genuinely laugh-out-loud moments, impressive CGI and Tommy Lee Jones.
Will Smith has always annoyed me for some odd reason (even in The Pursuit of Happyness, which I absolutely loved), so if you can look past him, it's a nice little entertainer.
Definitely much better than #2, which I have already forgotten.
Would rate it * * * ½ stars.

Well, I'm a HUGE fan of Will Smith, so I could deal with it. I've heard that Josh Brolin does a pretty good impersonation of Tommy Lee Jones - any truth to that? I'll watch it eventually. :D

Morlocks (Syfy channel movie).

This is probably the best Syfy channel movie. The main actor was in one of the Stargate TV shows. He plays a similar scientist type. The hologram doctor from Star Trek Voyager is in it. Christina Cole is also in the movie. She's a really pretty blonde girl who was in another so so horror movie about a guy who keeps dying. I can't remember the name of it right now. The theme music in Morlocks actually good. The only problem is they either ran out of money or wanted to mess it up. Because at the end, there is an action sequence which looks like the early polygon days of videogames. It's a bad joke and shocking that no one said let's just cut this and have the characters running from the building. Oh, the ending is good too. Kind of a Terminator feel to it.

Oh yes he does. He echoes the expressions and the slang of Tommy Lee Jones almost perfectly. But their faces don't match, even with some cleverly applied prosthetic make-up to Brolin (differences are too evident).
That being said, Brolin makes the film watchable by his performance alone.
Watch it, you are going to like it.

Cool, thanks, V!

Sucker Punch - 8/10

Easy for a lot of people to dislike (or even detest) this movie, but i've loved it since I saw it in imax. I'll admit the *incredible* action scenes leave a good bit to be desired, but it's still a good flick. I really like the surreal ending, and Emily Browning is a great actress. I'd like to see her in more horror flicks. She was great in The Uninvited (one of the rare decent remakes)

haha - I'll put it on my list, then. ;)

...

Agreed. Splinter was a pleasant little surprise that definitely made me cringe at points with the FX and foley work.

Some Guy Who Kills People (2011)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...l/some_guy.jpg


Thanks to everyone on here who recommended this film. It was definitely a pleasant surprise (a slow, deliberate off-putting character piece). Kevin Corrigan was fantastic as our off-kilter main character, Karen Black was cringingly loathing, and Lucy Davis was the undeniably charming Stephanie.

It definitely has its uncomfortable moments as our main character, Ken, is really just trying to navigate through the world while also getting over a really traumatic high school experience and simultaneously connecting with his estranged daughter. Through all of that there's humor, fantastic death scenes and a solid character piece.

My only complaints are that the kid was faaaar too precocious to be believable (a common complaint when you have this type of kid roll in misanthropic character pieces) and I thought the title was pretty lame.

Otherwise, highly recommended.

3.75/5.

occupant 4 1/5 stars

to be honest thats why i never watched that movie

I am watching American Gothic TV series.

Also just watched Omen IV - The Awakening.

Marianne (2011)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...Marianne11.jpg

This Swedish Indie feature centers around Krister, a man who is left to raise a newborn baby whilst coping with a teenage daughter who blames him for the recent death of his wife on a car crash. In the midst of his family falling apart, Krister suffers sleep paralysis and gradually becomes convinced (with the help of his daughter's ghost hunter boyfriend) that it may be the work of a Mare that is haunting him for 'some reason'.
Not bad but this is more of a slow burn psychological-family drama than a horror story. The few ghostly encounters of the Mare, comes almost vaguely but I think the same thing is better suited for someone like J-Horror master Takashi Shimizu who could treated the same story in a more creepier fashion (at the same time maintaining the drama part nicely) as an episode of a TV series or anthology.

ha - That's why I avoided it as well until people started posting good reviews on here.

Avatar- 7/10


It's not bad by any means, but for such a massive movie, there's not too much going on. It's just a huge budget Fern Gully. "Greatest adventure movie of all time?" Highly debatable.


Prometheus was much better in my opinion.

The Craft.

It's about girl witches and it has a few horror moments. I watched this because it has Neve Campbell. Also, a review of a movie I can't remember basically said it was like The Craft. I wish I remembered the movie. Maybe it was that TV show Secret Circle. Who knows. Overall, the movie was ok. It would probably be a lot better if I was a teenage girl with high school problems.

Haven't seen Prometheus yet but Avatar deserves a much higher rating, in fact, I give it 10/10.

agee ,that story lines basically pocahontis

There's nothing to it. The story is so linear and predictable a 6 year old could tell you how it would play out. It's just pretty and action packed. I don't dislike it, but the hype is purely due to how flashy it is.

Leprechaun 4 : In SPace

Hey did he get into outer space? It was never explained. Worst of the series so far. Only 2 to go, I hope they make a little more sense. because the leprechaun character is awesome.

4.5/10

Lep in Space was pretty good, disturbing horror. Not sure if you'll like Lep in the Hood.
