Superb.

Ginger Snaps

Awwww. Looks right up my ally. Added to the Netflix queue - Thanks!

Fingerprints - The movie was ehhh. nothing really stood out or anything really special. 2/5

Zombies vs Strippers, wasn't anything worth watching.

insightful review there

With a title like that, I'd be expecting something awesome- or at least funny!

Wrong Turn 5

That actually made me laugh. Nice description

This whole thing bugged me, too. Total nonsense.

_______V________ is going to be so pissed to see you guys dissing Prometheus, that's his baby.

Chained was crazy. gotta say I enjoyed that one though. Definitely would recommend it myself.

Hostel 3 - Def a 3rd edition movie. Sucked. Barley any gore. No interesting plot, ending was predictable. It was in Vegas and it was people paid to kill people it was them betting on how they would die and how long it would take. ehhh There was a reason I keep passing over it. The first kill was the only interesting part.

1 1/2 out of 5

The Gravedancers - Movie kinds of starts out good and builds up the plot solid. Some alright scares nothing really fantastic. The ghosts in the beginning look creepy but as it goes on then looks childish. As soon as you start getting interested it gets really corny.

3/5

The Shrine - Started watching it but didn't finish it. I don't know if I want to or not... Has its good parts but seemed kinda boring.

Breaking Dawn Part 2
My girlfriend dragged me to this but i gotta say it really wasn't that bad. It wasn't too cheesy and the fight scene at the end was pretty cool. Heads being ripped off left and right.

The Barrens
A man takes his family camping, starts to lose his mind and thinks the Jersey Devil is after him.

I'm really sick of these is he or is he not crazy movies. It's fine everything once in awhile, i thought Take Shelter was a great example of this, but they're just not my favorite kind of movie. It might be that i'm a little bias since i love monster movies but i just didn't like that technique the way it was used here. They throw a couple of reasons at you on why he might be going insane which just makes it complicated and honestly the movie is just boring.

One of my favorites; I really need to own the trilogy.


...

Yep - a LOT of Prometheus bugged me, this included.

Медвежуть - That made me laugh.


...

I watched that opening night with my friends too, heh (bit of an ironic tradition). :o

Mostly forgettable but you're right; the fight scene was a blast.

Brave (2012)

Had really been looking forward to this for a while. And while it was absolutely stunning, the plot, ultimately was just so-so.

Too bad; I was hoping this would be the next Up or Wall-E; two very brilliant Pixar films.


I don't think I can rate it less than a 3, though; it was truly gorgeous and I love the concept of the strong female lead.

Hatchet (2006)

My second time watching this. Definitely a fun one. Has some fantastic moments, especially the splatter, the epic origin story and nod to Friday the 13th.

Hey - LEAVE KRISTEN STEWART ALONE.








:p

I finally saw "The Dark Knight Rises" this weekend. I enjoyed it. A little long, but overall I like Nolan's series and I think it's a good closer to the series.

I also saw "Lawless". I am not a Shia Labeouf fan, but Tom Hardy was good. I was expecting a bit more violence, a bigger revenge spree and more from Gary Oldman's character based on the trailer. More like the Untouchables or something, but that's not really what it is.

I still enjoyed it, but had I not gone into it having high expectations and thinking it was going to be something else, I probably would have liked it even more.

"The Bay" 1-2/10

Horrible docu-horror. Just horrible..


"Ghost Story" 4/10

Except for the few short ghost encounters (Some of them good) this really wasn't much of a horror movie. Most of it was just really dull. Sorry Newb.

Hitchcock-esque. Les Diaboliques-esque.

Still missing something.

Stake land...as it was on sky movies.I thoroughly enjoyed it~it was low budget but had a really good feel about it and a great cast.

Cabin in the Woods.

Going to watch it again tonight. Maybe I was tired or expected too much. I want to be sure before I review.

Left For Dead/I Miss You Hugs and Kisses-I only watched this because it was one of the video nasties I hadn't seen. It took me 4!!!!attempts to get through it all and I only did so out of obligation. Woeful to the extreme one that deserves a round of applause out of relief that the bloody diabolical thing was over. Basically it's a soap opera disguised as a video nasty and a terribly achingly dull soap opera at that. A film that literally sucks the life and joy out of the viewer. The reason this film made the list was because of two controversial scenes. These scenes come out of nowhere and have absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the film (one is inside an actual abbatoir). I can't work out whether they were added for the director's amusement or whether it was to give this film attention it truly does not deserve. It's painfully sad that this film will be seen by many people like me who want to see all the video nasties (in my case it's all except the cannibal films that I'm prepared to watch and this would have been with them had I known about the abbatoir scene beforehand). This is definitely the worst (most unwatchable) of the video nasties I've seen (given the list includes Frozen Scream that's saying a lot). Completely unlike the other films as most are at least horror films but even taken as a soap opera on it's own merits this is despairingly dull). There is some violence at the end but that's no reward for the torment of sitting through this garbage. A painfully arduous viewing experience.

"Silent Hill: Revelation" 7-8/10

The story was quite confusing and some parts felt rushed and a bit clumsy. Also the dialogue wasn't very good and most of the acting was VERY theatrical. I also found it odd to see so many famous faces in such tiny roles with such bad lines. Actually most of the characters in this sequal was crap. Especially the annoying class mate who must have been a Twillight reject. Yuck!

But what i really like was how much it stayed true to the third game in the franchice as well as the first movie. The mall, the creepy amusement park with the scary "cute" rabbits and especially the looks of the heroine was spot on. And i really loved the nod to the newest game Downpour at the very end. That was so cool. Easy to tell the director is true Silent Hill nerd.

Finish watching The Shrine...Ehhh ending was better and made it all make sense. Cool little twist at the end but reminded me way too much of the exorcist.

2 1/2 out of 5

Beneath the Dark - Really confusing movie but the end ties everything together. Ending was pretty good and worth the watch. At first you think it's just another stupid flix but the twist and story line really makes it all work together.

3 1/2 out of 5

Have been really looking forward to this. Thanks for the heads-up, my Viking friend.

Watched Cabin in the Woods last weekend with my wife. I thought it was great. Probably one of the most original horror movies that I've seen in a very long while. Recommend it highly to anyone who may not have watched it yet.

Watched Thankskilling again this morning. Still not sure how I feel about it

"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" 7-8/10

The first half was definitely the best. When the Civil War began the movie started to drag and got i little boring at times. But unlike other movies with a big budget, such as the first Silent Hill, you could actually see every penny in this production. Beautiful cinematography and especially the stampede fight was quite unique and amazing.



"End of watch" 7-8/10

Even tho it sure took its time building up to something that actually reminded of a story i really liked this one. I appreciated the time the movie took to let its viewers get under the skin of the two cops, excellently played by Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena.
As mentioned several times on the IMDB board the ending could and should've been more powerful. Also the use of so many types of cameras seemed a little weird to me and also seemed to confuse the actors at times. Handheld (gyllenhaal), chestheld (both cops), shaky and normal cameras. Even the bad guys ran around with a handheld camera for some reason. I never understood why any of the hand/chest held cameras was used in this movie? Didn't seem to be an important factor at all in the end anyways??

Still recommended to fans of Colors and Training Day. :)




"The Awakening" 8-9/10

Except for the the rather anticlimatic ending this ol' school ghost flick was right up my alley. Great ghost story, beautifully shot and with a perfect cast. Reminded in many ways of "The Others" without having the same story.
If only i'd seen more to the creepy child and less to the cute one i'd been a very happy camper.

Finally saw "My Name is Bruce" a few nights ago. I really enjoyed it. O'course I enjoy all of Campbell's films. Who doesn't? lol

Last horror film I seen was "The Attic" (2007) and it was one of the worse films I have ever seen. 3/10 rating from me.

Last film I watched was "Bigfoot: The Lost Coast Tapes", I'm sure it comes as no surprise but this film was horrible.

"House Of Dark Shadows" (1971)
-Jonathan Frid

Plot :IMDB
Recently unleashed from his coffin by local drunk, Willie Loomis, the vampire Barnabas Collins goes on a killing spree, while at the same time charming his present day family members. In the process he meets local girl Maggie Evans and notices that she looks exactly like his deceased fiance Josette. Barnabas assumes that she is the reincarnation of Josette, and plans to make him his unholy bride for eternity.

Phantom's Review: One of my favorite vampire films. Good story (adapted from the soap opera) plenty of Hammer film style gore and atmosphere. And some fine acting from the stars. Highly entertaining.

How were you able to watch this?! I've been looking for it forever! It's one of my favorite movies.

Seems to be pretty readily available.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss...ovies-tv%2C396

When I first started looking for it, I searched every website I knew of, and it was nowhere!

BUT.....thank you for that. I just added it to my wishlist on Amazon. If I don't get it for Christmas, I'm definitely buying it!

Excellent whodunnit by Mario Bava (in his signature brutal style), reminiscent of And Then There Were None in more ways than one. Recommended, although it's a bit dated by today's standards.
