The Wolfman (2010)- Very disappointed in this remake. I thought the original was brilliant. Hugo Weaving was believable but Del Toro could have very well been popping Valium's during this whole movie. Rick Baker did a pretty good job although the effects were too much in some scenes.

For the last couple of days I've been watching The Curse of Frankenstein series, which I've enjoyed (save for The Evil of Frankenstein).
Just saw Martyrs, a pretty fucked up movie, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The Fly (1986)
 ... for the first time... And wow. WOW. They just don't make movies like that anymore. They truly don't. I can absolutely see why this movie is an iconic classic - Great sci-fi plot, fantastic acting, and a great monster that is both horrifying and sympathetic, the best kind of monster. It's interesting... After seeing the pointless abomination that was The Wolfman remake, I completely appreciate this film even more. Instead of simply copying source material, it took the original concept and expanded it... Almost more like a sequel than a remake. I loved how I felt simultaneous pathos and repulsion for Seth Brundle, who was masterfully played by Jeff Goldbloom. And, even better, the awesome 24-year-old special effects made me cringe and my jaw drop more than once. Awesome scifi horror that absolutely stands the test of time. 4.5/5.

The wife and I watched Human Centipede, and I can't express how disappointed I am.
The premise is great, I'm thinking this one will mess with my head a lot. And then ...nothing. No gore, no shock...nothing. Granted, it's a pretty messed up idea, but it could have been presented so much better. My wife was actually laughing at parts. And, I agree about The Wolfman. I thought it sucked for the most part.

I would also like to know your definition of "gore" if this film has none of it... I think the main problem with this film is that it was overhyped. People go in expecting something it's not. If it had been alowed to develop it's own following as a twisted little black comedy, 90% of the criticism it's getting would have been averted.

I guess I should have specified that the wife wasn't laughing at it in a good way, she found it so stupid she was surprised it was something I even wanted to watch.
As for gore, blood would go a long way. Other than the one knee incision and the shooting, there really wasn't much. Sure the scalpel scene, but that was weak too. Sad when the best scene of the movie, IMO, is when the Japanese guy has to go to the bathroom. Maybe I didn't read deep enough, I don't know. But, I could name a ton of films that I thought had way better shock value than this one...which is what I thought I would be getting. Maybe I read too deep into that. Anyway, just my thoughts on it. Edit: This movie should shock me, from what I've read http://www.belgraded.com/video-reade...-movie-trailer Last edited by endo; 07-25-2010 at 06:22 PM.

That was my point- it was overhyped as "the grossest movie ever made" and so on- it's a victim of its own publicity.

By gore I mean...Tom Savini in Dawn Of The Dead getting his guts ripped out and eaten, or someone getting limbs ripped off....that type of thing. A scalpel cut is good I guess, but it was done better in Pet Semetary, IMO.
