Red Eye

[Posher778]

Yes... my favorite movie of all time, acting was good, it was thrilling, ultra suspense ful..


discuss.:D

[RavageRitual]

Out of all the horror movies in the world. Red Eye is your favorite? I didnt think it was good at all. But oh well everyones got thier opinion.

[Posher778]

-ok well. let me explain. its my favorite thriller. like, suspense, not, horror. i loved it because it was, ( you gotta admit) very suspenseful, you wanted to no what was going to happen, and the action was intense. And the whole, save her dad and the hotel people was freaky too, and it had a good story behind it. I would say, favorite thriller yes, best scary movie... not quite. But, i think people just dont like the movies im into. I loved house of wax the new one. Its one of my favorites. it was great, and, my favorite.. funny scary movie, was cursed with Christina ricci. That movie was awesome.

reschedule him then!

What are you trying to say here?

[Posher778]

those are quotes from cursed... read my signature, or watch the movie.. no im not gay, and you dont need to reschedule my ass...

[The_Return]

So, I'd assume that you havent seen any horror movies made before 1999?

[The STE]

Posher guy's favorite horror movies
Red Eye
Cursed
House of Wax

I'd say not, maybe not even before 2000

[Posher778]

i have. i tend to only remember the newer ones. I love older movies, as well as 90's 80's whatever. I like all of vincent price's stuff, those are great.

[Doc Faustus]

Sigh. Where to begin?
1.Not a horror film- Red Eye is a thriller primarily, perhaps if the politics were not so amorphous a POLITICAL thriller.
2. Not actually scary- The homeland security secretary might be murdered? Argh! This movie presents the terrifying prospect that marginally misguided, yet proactive and clever individuals intend to return us our human rights. If you want to make an omelet...this movie's political concerns are therefore frightening solely to hardcore conservatives and people who desperately want the government to know the contents of thier phonecalls. If you believe that thehomeland security secretary prevents terrorists attacks, I have a rock to sell you that keeps away Orcs and space lobsters.
Tense, yes. This woman's position is a scary one, but it is spoiled by why she's in it.
3. Easily resolved- When actually attacked, Cillian Murphy goes down like a cheerleader who needs an A in English. Too easy.
4.REALLY deceptive previews- The previews for this movie make it look like something so completely different that myself and many other moviegoers had been thoroughly decieved. If this were advertised as even remotely akin to the film it was, I don't think people would have seen it.

Cillian Murphy did some good acting, he's always great. And in regards to Wes Craven's directing, it's head and shoulders over Cursed and a lot of Wes Craven's worst efforts, but so too are Dude Where's my Car, Jason X and a 3 hr. Macrofocus on a pile of bellybutton lint. Cillian Murphy outshined the rest of a bitterly disappointing film.

amen to that, some people on these message boards hate anything after 1997, just ignore them, its what i do.

[The_Return]

Yep, ignore us. Just like you guys ignore every movie made before the year 2000:rolleyes:

I cant speak for all of us, but myself and many other members who are "flipping out" do, in fact, enjoy newer movies. Dead Birds, Dagon, Session 9, Dog Soldiers, Saw....all made within the last few years, and all among my all-time favourite horror movies. We just dont like the crappy wannabe horror flicks that are made with no more in mind than making a quick buck. The producers of these films [IE- Texas Chainsaw Massacre and House of Wax remakes, Boogeyman, Cry_Wolf] couldnt care less about scaring the audience, about making them uncomfortable, making them afraid to go to sleep at night. Hell, once they get their money, they couldnt care less what the audience thought of the movie. Now, Im not saying that all older movies are made with better intentions; movies have always been made to make money. But in years gone by, there were more filmmakers who truely cared about the genre, cared about scaring the audience out of their skulls more than lining their own pockets. Filmmakers like this do still exist, however they are in much shorter suply, and you need to look much harder to find their films.

So basically, what Im saying is go out, check out some older flicks. Drop me a PM if you want some good recomendations. There's alot more than the "horror" that's being shoved down your throats by coke-snortin' fat-cats in Hollywood.

well i read through the whole thing and all i got was 'blah blah blah i think i know everything when it comes to horror movies'. i have seen many many older horror movies since my mom is a classic horror fan, and i find them, boring, fake looking, and DEFFINATLY not scary what so ever. and i mean seriously, were you RIGHT THERE next to the directors who made the old and new horror movies to make sure that they actually cared about the movie they were making and not just the money?

myself, i got was pretty petrified after seeing Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the remake not the original, i didnt like the original at all). and house of wax, i didnt find to be all that scary, but i deff. think it was a good movie that brings enjoyment.

if you can give me 3 older horror movies, that are actually any good, then maybe ill change my mind. but as of now, i feel the newer horror movies are better then the oldies.

Carnival of Souls [1962]
The Mummy [1931]
Dawn of the Dead [1978]


If you'd like, I could name a hell of alot more. This is probably enough for now, cause there's no chance you'll actually watch any of those anyway, alot are in *gasp* black and white!:rolleyes:

[noctuary]

You tell 'em, Return.

I'll add a few "golden oldies" to the list.

The Changeling
The Haunting
Suspiria
Tenebre
Re-Animator
Evil Dead
In the Mouth of Madness
From Beyond
The Wicker Man
The Hills Have Eyes
Last House on the Left

Note: anything prior to 2000 counts as an "oldie" for the purposes of this list.

[The_Return]

If you do still need more examples, check out the section here called "Classic Horror Movies". It's titled that for a reason, ya know.

[Posher778]

i REALLY want to see the hills have eyes. what's it about anyway

[newb]

Cannibalistic family terrorizing a family after their trailer broke down in the desert.

Unless you dont mind buying online [which I try to avoid], it pretty hard to find. Ive been trying to get ahold of a copy for months, no luck anywhere around here.

[Posher778]

cannibal made me lose interest.

dog soldiers is easily one of the top werewolf movies ever made. that part near the end when they were all standing in the shadows and nobody saw them until they walked out was eerie. But the scariest part was when the guy got pulled out the window really fast, and later showed the werewolf eating him, and he threw the head at the guy in the jeep lol

Excuse #1- That one makes sence, the video stores around here suck, too. I dont like buying stuff online, either.

Excuse #2- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. B&W makes your eyes go "buggy"? You need to make an apointement with an Optometrist, buddy.

As for why some people are such smart asses, it's to make up for dumbasses like yourself.

Back to the topic, I picked up Red Eye and it was pretty good. It's not very scary because it isnt a typical Wes Craven horror movie. Its a nice little thriller. Interesting story even though it seems a little far stretched. Is it really necessary to do all that? The acting was done well. Rachel McAdams is super hott and she is good in her movies. And it has enough suspense to keep you interested throughout the whole movie. There still should have been a little bit more action or evil motives by the villians so we can hate him more.. Its worth a look. I actually liked it better than Hostel which i saw Sunday.

[crazy raplh]

The lady that was in it was in mean girls.........I love it. But is was alright I thought.

[bwind22]

MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT



DONT READ IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE MOVIE YET.












Red Eye was lame & predictable. If anyone thought for a second that the girl, her dad, or the diplomat was going to get killed, then they're retarded. There's no blood in the movie despite a guy getting a pen shoved into his neck and another getting hit by a car and smashed through the front of a house. Then when you take into consideration the utter lack of logic... Like why they even needed to get the diplomat to change hotel rooms in the first place if they were just planning on firing a rocket at his room anyways.... Or why the main girl didn't just start yelling for help once the plane landed instead of gettting stalked through the airport and not asking any of the multitudes of people for a hand... What about how this entire thing, including all conversations had between the two main characters takes place on a jam packed quiet night time flight, but everyone seems to have conveniently fallen asleep upon take off and not one single person overhears their conversation or notices anything's up...

Did I mention that it basically has the exact same plot as Collateral? (Except you can replace the cab with an airplane.)

This movie sucked ass. And so did Cursed (for whoever said that was good.) Cursed wasn't anything more than a Ginger Snaps knock off with the hip, young American cast. If you want a cool werewolf movie, then just get Ginger Snaps. Don't settle for a cheap imposter.

Wes Craven needs to stop making movies for little kids and get back to the shit made him famous.

[mothermold]

this movie should be called "Brown eye".

it stinks worse than a dirty diaper.

[urgeok]

There is a Korean ghost film called Red Eye about a haunted train.

I'm sure it would make a far more positive thread :)

And mothermold, that was a good one. From this day forth, that's the only way I'll refer to this movie.

[zomb5150]

I just watched this last night at work, it was pretty good.:)

[Posher778]

craven didnt write red eye, he directed it. read into stuff before you throw shit out about it.


and it isnt horror its suspense, deal with it.

I loved it!
I thought it was intense, and such a thrill ride. :D

Brilliant movie!

ha. ha. ha.

watched it this evening, rather poor effort.

[hello,danny]

Okay, okay, okay, okay:

1. So RED EYE was a lot of fun--I had a swell time. That said, I'm not about to crown it as one of my favorite movies in ANY genre.

2. Yay for space lobsters.

3. Yay for the WHAT LIES BENEATH plug: it's way underrated! Like, the critics freaked out because they thought the marketing campaign gave too much away--is that the movie's fault? I think not.

4. . . .there is no four. . .
