I found it to be a lot more enjoyable than i thought it would have been. A nice little suprise in the age of over hyped peices of shit that come out on a almost weekly basis

Erm...In my opinion it's an american attempt at an asian horror style ghost story using modern technology, much like Ringu, Phone, Kairo etc...
It's not great tbh, I would give it 6/10. I expect I'd give it less and less the more times I saw it. You might quite like it though :) The sequel out now however looks really quite awful.

i liked it until the very end - then it kind of fell on it's face.
nice build up til then though.

I thought it was rather silly.
The ending was just ludicrous.
Wouldn't recommend it.

Wasnt too bad, but not really great. Worth watching once but I cant imagine wanting to watch it more than that.

i was thinking the same thing but without the girl with long black wet hair...which i love :D
I said nothing about a girl with long black hair. I said it was in the style of an asian horror ghost story.

this is only my opinion - so balance it against the others you get :
2000 Manics - great fun
Cave - ok - not as horrible as most people say
Creep - good movie
Demons - good italian fun
The lost boys - great fun
Return of the Living Dead - fantastic
Shivers - excellent (if this is the chronenberg film)
The People Under the Stairs - so-so some ok moments
Wishmaster - complete waste of time.
The_Return
01-04-2007, 07:22 AM
Havent seen maany...heres what I'm familiar with:
Creep - Solid entertainment, I really enjoyed it
Return of the Living Dead - One of the coolest, funniest horror movies of all time. Dont bother with Part II though.
Wishmaster - Pretty fun slasher...great kills and a really cool concept. It has its flaws, but it's enjoyable.

i know - some folks like it (which is why i put in a disclaimer)
but i absolutely hated it when i saw it.
i expected something of wes cravens (then) caliber .. and got some cheap ass direct to video amateurish joke instead. (or thats how i felt at the time)

Didn't like it one bit either. The thing with Craven is that he is a really inconsistent director, and you never know if his next movie is going to be a masterpiece or a third-rate movie!

well, this one he 'presented'
i dont believe he directed it.
which made me avoid any film since that starts with 'wes craven presents:'

yeah i only trust my own veiws bout a film but you gotta hear others comments bout stuff.....even if you ignore all reveiws we all read them and listen to each others opinions to figure out which films we'll see and saying that wishmaster is a waste of time is just their opinion....even though i think most films are worth a single veiwing.

Saw a brief trailer the other night for a White Noise sequal. Can't remember the rest of the title but I'm assuming it's straight to video and the story will go way off tangent with no cast or story similarities.
I did enjoy the first though, quite creepy.

nope white noise 2 came out today and im going to see it tomorrw looks ways better than the original
LadyFrost
01-06-2007, 07:46 AM
If it looks better than the original than that's a good sign. I rented out White Noise last night so I could watch it, and it was kind of a let down for me. I dont know why, it's a good movie, but I just didnt find enough "scary" in it. And some things weren't explained enough for me. Maybe I'm just a half whit lol.
But it was still a good movie, and I'd like to see the sequel.

I saw bits and peices of it, but wasn't really watching.
There's a few jumps and all, but outside of that, I wouldn't really call it scary.
Oh, hey...there's a sequel coming out this year (although I think it's completely unrelated in terms of storyline/characters), or may already be out in some areas... that has a premise that's a total rip-off of final destination.
It's got Nathan Fillion though, he seems ok in horror-ish stuff.

Dr. Lesh: Some people believe that when you die there is a wonderful light. As bright as the sun but it doesn't hurt to look into it. All the answers to all the questions you want to know are inside that light. And when you walk to it... you become a part of it forever. Now, some people die, but they don't know they're gone.
