Sorry but I loved that one!!

[_Leatha_Face_]

[Vodstok]

I dont understand why people were so "disappointed" with 28 days later.... I love it, I loved it, and will continue to love it. hell, I even made a theme of it for my website and forum.

[Malicious_Mirth]

True, I don't understand it either. 28 Days Later was great, and so was The Blair Witch Project ... both of these I have defended time and again on this site. I think what they both have in common that turns off a lot of horror fans is the fact that neither one splash gore all over the screen on a consistent basis. This pretty much goes to show you why horror fans get a bad rap, for the most part.

[Fluff the Ho]

Shrek 2

i knew it was gonna be bad.. but like yeh that was fuckin gay. the cat was cool, gingerbread man was cool, but other than that? CORNEHHHH

and to think my friend was like 'OMG i liked it better than the first one! although i did fall asleep half way through' .......................

exactamundo. I had to concede to some poeple about not liking the new Dawn of the Dead, they actually listed legitimate reasons they didnt like it, and didnt just say "it sucked". I dont agree with them (i liked it a lot).

One of the things that stuck to me with 28 days later was the use of digital film. the sequences in the rain are almost dreamlike because of the way the water falls. i think it adds quite a bit to the movie.

[Hal_Delrich]

_Leatha_Face_...what the hell ?

You know the only reason you don't like 28 days later is because Danny Boyle is british.....
:rolleyes:

somebody not liking a horror film and a film maker because they were british, that sounds so familiar :D

:rolleyes: wow that was outta nowhere lol no i didnt like this because of the low low budget and i thought it wasnt scary @ all, and all the previews said "scary as hell", " the scariest movie of the year"

[Sam The Egg]

Biggest ever: Hellraiser: Bloodline

semi-let down: 1984, Rashomon

[dantehorrorfan]

AVP and house of the dead damn i cant get that movie out of my head now:(

[VenomX]

OK, to everyone who dissed AVP.

How many of you actually expected it to be good? I could tell from the trailer it was gonna suck. It was rated pg-13!

Yeah me neither. As soon as i walked up to look at the poster 2 ladies walked by and said "Dont watch that movie! It sucks!"

But i took my chances and really enjoyed it. I thought the TCM remake was OK. But the remakes are getting a tad bit played out in my opinion..

Bah... You just wanted to see the Coreys naked... admit it.....:D

Back on Dungeons and Dragons... Being the nerd that i am, i had extremely high hopes for this movie. I can say the same about Spawn. Both had limitless potential that was thourough scat upon by no-talent dipshits who couldnt tell a story at gunpoint.

Spawn at least had some okay effects, but D&D came out later, and had WORSE effects...

And then there was the over-dramatic, almost comical "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!OOOOOOOOO!!!!!!OOOOOOOO!!!!!" when "Snails" was killed... Luke Skywalker did the long "No!" just fine, that little , meekrab, just sucked. And then there was the end. THE FUCKING END..... They all turn into little firecrackers and fly into the sky... WHY?! No fucking clue. they just did. it was "magical" apparently.

Sigh. Fat elves. An unexplained Black elf (kristin wilson... used to host Stand up Stand up on comedy central back in the day...stupid bitch. cant act, cant tell a joke). A fucking dwarf that is almost as tall as Marlon Wayans.

The fucking movie had Thora Birch and Jeremy Irons, and THEY sucked.... The only halfway decent effect in the movie was the beholder that floats by at one point, but 3 secionds of cool special effects cant save a movie that looks like whale shit smeared on celluloid.

Shit, i may just do a full review in the movie section... i got myself worked up now....

[DaBroMain]

OMG D&D was possibly the WORST FUCKING MOVIE EVER!!!!!!! (arioch knows about me and my best and worst movies)

but seriously i couldnt even finish it......the dwarf wasnt even close to how real dwarves are. *Am also a D&D nerd....*:D

[Vodstok]

Yeah, i am saving up my strength for a rant about it in the movies forum....

It could not have possiby been worse.

[DaBroMain]

A_Fucking_Greed!!!!!!!


i kept thinking to myself *it has to get better* and to my surprise it only got worse and worse and fucking worse.

[Stingy Jack]

I never saw D&D ... basically because I knew it was gonna suck. I mean, how could you not know that movie was going to dribble camel balls? The PREVIEW sucked! And when the preview sucks, you need to stay far, far away.

[Vodstok]

Misguided hope, my freind. Movies like this are why i ahve no faith.

[ShankS]

bloody agree with you on that, how long did you see the cenobites for?? about 2 or 3 friggin minutes throughout the film. I thought comon, what sort of a film in the hellreaiser franchise was that, absolute crap. Seamed to me the producers/film company were scraping the barrel for more money.

[jay o2 waster]

hmmmm....... secret window was kinda crappy

[Proteus]

Id have to say Cabin Fever the mighy Hype machine built it up so huge I thought it was acually gonna be good guess what I was Wrong!

Proteus

[movieman64]

Cold Creek Manor...I can still smell the stink on my clothes.

[Tubalcain]

and yet, if thay film it, we will watch it. thats the great thing about horror. vodstok said that movies like this is why he has no faith, and yet its these bad movies that get us through the bad times. they give us reason to hold out for a little while longer,as well as something to talkabout. we will continue to watch them untill we find one that is good, almost like the religious fanatics watch the sky, waiting for the second coming. i for one say yes, there are a lot of bad movies, but bring them on, i'll watch them all. and maybe one day, there will be a good one.

[Vodstok]

im all for bad movies, because camp has a lot of entertainment value, but the ones of which i speak lack even camp value, they are just excruciating to sit through. if they had existed back then, kubrik would have put them in clockwork orange as part of the torture.

[Stingy Jack]

I hate the bad movies. God, I hate the bad movies. Even the campy ones. But I'll agree, when I come across a good one, I am so ready for it, I'll nearly orgasm.

[Ninja Moo]

... Y'know I'm a D&D nerd also ... And I rather enjoyed the movie Dungeons and Dragons.. Of course before I saw it, I went into it knowing it wouldn't be the best movie I've ever seen, and I didn't expect too much .. It's an alright movie. It's one of those I put in for background noise when I am cleaning or online ...

I love House of a 1000 Corpses also... Love, love, love, can't get enough ..

I haven't seen the TCM remake.. too afraid... Because I love the original.. That's one of the greatest movies of all time.

As far as gore in horror.. I don't think it always needs to be there.. I enjoy a really good psycological thriller as well as gore.

Goddamn i hate that movie. I rented that like the day it came out. Killer befriends family, family is attacked, family is suspicious, killer tries getting back house, killer dies. Has this not happened before in a movie?

Get some new ideas..

[Arioch]

Agreed.....a bad movie to me is unforgivable.....even if i downloaded it.....so much time better spent elseware.....maybe its because we are old stingy......:confused:

[Vodstok]

Phew, no kidding Arioch... been 22 for what, 48 hours now? Grim reaper is just waiting for your ass....:D

Well, "old" in this sense means "experience with refined taste." Granted, we hate the crap more than we used to ... but at least we retain the dignity of saying "I hated that fucking movie." It's only the young and the stupid who have to explain saying things like "Freddy Vs. Jason rocked!!"

[BIG MEAT EATER]

"Juon the Grudge"

[Arioch]

Cold Creek Manor...I can still smell the stink on my clothes.

I actually downloaded this BEFORE it hit theaters accidentally.....it was pretty tame, but since i hadnt even heard about it, i had no expectations....*shrug*

Ok, I havnt seen Dead Alive....But I agree 100% with 28 Days Later. I saw it almost as soon as it came to DVD, what a let down! That was a shitter....


Dont get me started on ya about Silence of the Lambs tho....Fucking Awesome Movie!!!

Damn hate, are you serious!??

I can't see how ANYBODY could think that movie was scary or gross enough to puke :confused:

Oh well.

The only reason that it was so disappointing, was because of the genius marketing prior to the movie. I was genuinely stoked for this, and to me...it was THE biggest let-down to date.

[dantehorrorfan]

the village sucked old hairy donkey balls,the grudge,secret window,even though i havent seen it and im not seed of chucky and AVP fucking sucked AVP<------this movie sucked major.........

i will december 25 when i get my sub. then get out the way cause dante's coming for U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

[ashes]

now dont get me wrong, i am not saying that the exorcist wasnt a great movie, but i was disappointed because....

maybe im a loser, but i had read the book a long long time ago, and it scared the hell out of me...like, terrified me.. and then when i saw the movie, i just sort of laughed. apparently, my imagination is much worse than anything that could be put into the film.

same thing happened with hannibal...loved the book, the movie was just sort of a let down... (other than ray liotta eating his own brain.)

[tic]

a little bit disappointed with Freddy vs. Jason

Jason began to turn "nice". I got no problem with that in particular, especially against Freddy-boy, but he lost some of the fear factor in him, apart from the fact (IMO) he looked different than in other films; I know it was a different actor but he just wasn't the "real" Jason.

You actually expected that to be a good movie though?

[tic]

When they changed the tiltle from Jason vs Freddy, to Freddy vs Jason I should have known.

Have to say Freddy is NOT my fav character, maybe they should have changed the title to A Nightmare On Elm Street 5 or 6, or whatever number it would have been (guest starring Jason Voorhees, in a VERY minor role)

thats the key isnt it ...
Many of the movies mentioned here didnt exactly have any promise to begin with.
The ones you knew nothing about shouldnt have held much in the way of expectations either.

House of the Dead and RE2 were 2 huge dissapointments because you knew going in they would be zombie films.

Bloodless zombie films are pointless to make and will dissapoint anyone other than someone seeing their very first horror film.

Complaining that the TCM remake was a let down is like complaining that going to the dentist caused you some discomfort.

Exactly my point. You can't be let down, unless you were built up in the first place. (errr, something like that).

People weren't puking from fright. They were getting motion sickness caused by the camera swinging everywhere.

Anyway the Village was the biggest disappointment, and the worst movie, I have seen in years.

AMEN ... a stupid film from a clever filmmaker.

It looked like it would be amazing. It was amazingly bad.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA! Good Game!

Regarding The Village: I didn't even bother to see it at all after hearing all of the bad reviews. I guess I'll check it out at some point though.

[nine9]

I'm glad I listened to Stingy and didn't go see The Village. Signs for sure for sure..........I hated it.......and Ghost Ship.....the old one about the Nazis, actually left the theatre it was so bad :mad:

Signs was weak ... i was hoping it was a blip on the turd radar but it seems to be his direction now.


I still think the Village should be seen for historical purposes ..
The end of a promising beginning - and all that.

That is great LMAO! :p and very sadly true.....

[The_Return]

I didnt mind The Village. Sure, nothing spectacular, but still enjoyable. I dont think it was nearly as bad as everyone says, although the ending was rather obvious....Who the fuck gets "mugged in an alley" back then? Thats what gave it away.

[HorrorJunkie17]

The biggest letdown would have to be the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.....the remake was 100 times beter! I heard a lot of buzz about how terrifying and gory the original was and decided to check it out BEFORE I saw the remake and IMO I cannot see why the movie had so many people freaked out when it was realeased in theaters. I mean COME ON, the only disturbing scene in the WHOLE movie is when......wait, I forgot, there were no disturbing scenes in the movie, my bad. Seriously though, everyone always mentions the scene where Sally is tied to a chair at the dinnertable, but all it is is her whiny ass crying and a close up on her eyeballs for like 10 minutes. WHOA that's entertaining! ::note sarcasm::. And for all the haters of the remake out there I just have to say ONE THING, you may not have liked it better then the original ::gag::, but you gotta admit, the suicide scene was awesome and somewhat original!

[urgeok]

Stargate was another one for me ..

The ads made it look like it was the movie of all movies .. made for me personally. it appealed to everything I'd ever wanted in a movie ...
it started out well too .. and then once they got through the gate it turned into Beach Blanket Bingo ..
Low budget sand kicker ...

Kurt Russel was the only reason to waste the time watching that one..

[DraculaInDallas]

Blair Witch and the Village........very disappointing :mad:

[Angelakillsluts]

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake

[MisterSadistro]

The new 'TCM' had it's moments, but all in all it sucked. I'd be the first to admit some old, legless dude in a wheelchair could ever hold a candle to Emery, but he smoked him in scary department as far as I'm concerned.
