Worse than scene for scene. It was actually shot for shot. Talk about unoriginal.... They didn't have to do 1 thing that hadn't already been done for that movie. To this day, I refuse to watch the Psycho remake.

I agree completely. Good sequel, but not as good as the first one.

The Terminal: Very good...interesting to think that things like this (albeit not to the extent) happen all the time...good story, good performances all around. Quite funny, yet also pretty sad in parts...very watchable, good film.

Ugh! I disagree completely. I thought this was one of the dullest, slowest moving, least funny Tom Hanks movies I've ever seen in my life. Hated it!

Well, it was a movie abuot a guy stuck in an airport...I dunno what you'd expect. Yeah, it wasn't laugh out loud funny, in fact, I thought it was more sad than funny, but still found it watchable all the same...guess it's just a difference in taste.


I just got done watching Catwoman...People abuse the hell out of this movie...I won't. I mean, it wasn't great. The storyline was water-thin, the dialogue cheesy. However, I thought the fight scenes were quite well done, the CG was clearly evident, but didn't wreck certain scenes (as it did in blade 2...the doll fighting...haha), intruducing a new character as catwoman wasn't all that bad - I can't tell you HOW MANY comics have done the same. All in all, I enjoyed it more than the hulk.

"Shot for Shot", eh. Oh well, I haven't seen the original version in so long that.... :) Don't worry about not seeing it. There's nothing special about it. At least I saw that on Comcast's On Demand and it cost nothing. ;)

I didn't care for Cube too much. Cube would've been better if they had more paper characters in there solely for brutal death scenes, but the movie in general was dragged out too long. Cube would've been better as perhaps a "Tales From The Crypt" episode.

Well, Thursday was the first time Netflix has let me down. I got an email saying Haute Tension would be arriving Thursday and it didn't show up. :mad: So I ended up watching Bubba Ho-Tep again instead. I already reviewed it in this thread so I won't give it a full run down again, but it's enjoyable. Bruce Cambpell is great as usual and some of the plot is just so off the wall that you can't help but laugh out loud. Good flick. B

Evil Dead 2 is one of the gretest showcases of physical humor ever created, methinks.

Dude, "Suspiria" had like one of the most vicious "hackings" I've ever withnessed on film. Good movie. Haven't had the chance to rent "Inferno". Haven't seen it on the shelves. Phantasm is quite a good horror film. Any news on Argento making the third installment. I've read the movies are supposed to be made into a trilogy based on greek mythology of the three blind witches.

Wow. I finally saw this film after hearing so much about it and all I can say is wow. What a fucked up movie! Lots of gore, fuckin' crazy plot, psychotic characters and pretty cool fight scenes make this one pretty bad ass film! I liked it a lot and would recommend it to any with a good stomach for Asian gore, but even still, there are a few scenes that might make you cringe. B+

So...just wondering if anyone has seen "tha man with the screaming brain" yet? I've got a copy sitting here (have had ot for about 2 weeks actually), truth is, I know fuck-all about it, but I'm hoping it's cool....anyone?

Last 2:

Crash - It was interesting to see different viewpoints on racial tension...I mean HERE, it's not that bad, but some of it definately hit home. Very well done film, nice musical score...leaves you feeling a little overwhelmed at times. I don't know if I really wanna see it again, because all it really did was unsettled and depressed me, but I'd reccomend it.

Eulogy - A lot funnier than I expected it to be, it was straight to video here, which had me feeling a little apprehensive, but within the first 5 minutes, I got into it.
Nice performances all around, and it was good to see Ray Romano in a slightly more adult comedy. The whole film is kind of a sad story - a death in the family, messed up family relationships...etc, but still very funny throughout.

Just saw Nightwatch, I'd seen it before, well the first 15 minutes before I realised that the subtitles on my pirated version were little better than random words from the dictionary....saw the rerelease at the cinema, I'd reccomend it. Slightly convoluted plot at times, but overall a good watch. Excellent effects, and the subtitling was very cool, if you haven't yet seen it, you'll know what I mean when you do.
Visually stunning, very good musical score...unusual camera-work.
Highly reccomend seeing it on the big screen if you're able.

Me and a buddy and my girlfriend had a little marathon.

Dagon- Had never seen this before. Very...interesting. 2.5/5

The Exorcist- The scariest movie of all time. Although, I must say, after multiple viewings it really loses a lot of shock value. 4.5/5

The Thing- This is one of my all time favorites. I love the atmosphere, and the suspense as the characters are dropped is so good. Great movie every time. 5/5

High Tension- Wow. First viewing, this movie's fucking amazing. The first death scene is soooo cool. Fucked up ending, too. 5/5

I LOVE Dagon...what didnt you like about it? VERY atmospheric, weird to the max, great gore [although CRAPPY CGI], and although I havnt read the story it's based on, it really captured a Lovecraftian feel, IMO.


I just watched The Thing myself. Deginatly a great movie, however I felt it suffered from having way to many characters. After a few deaths though, that worked itself out and it became a near flawless movie, IMO. Kurt Russel has got to be one of my favourite actors.

Aside from 3 things, I cant find anything wrong with the movie.

a) HORRIBLE Cgi
b) Fairly bad acting from [very few] involved
c) Almost nothing like the original story


Aside from those, it had all the fixings of a great movie. The atmosphere was fittingly eerie, at least 2 of the actors were great [Dont know their real names, but the lead guy and the crazy drunk impressed me], it had a bit of humour, but not enough to ruin it [I gotta get a bigger phone:D], the ending/opening were great in the Lovecraftian vein, and the gore, although not plentiful, was great [the face skinning made ME cringe].....But like I said, you're entitled to your opinion, as am I.

Wicker Man (again)

Well I wasnt really a fan of this film to begin with but it was on IFC the other day and my fiance hadn't seen it yet so I ended up watching it again. For some reason the weirdness of all their naked dancing and such struck me more funny than odd this time around. The only problem is that this isn't one of those films you are supposed to laugh at. The acting is good, the story is unique, but the gore is non-existent. The last 5-10 minutes are pretty awesome though...

I don't recall what grade I gave it the first time around, but I'd put it in the C+ range after a second viewing.

You didn't get it from Netflix did ya? (If you did, send it back!) They've skipped that movie for me for the past week because I guess it must all be checked out.

Anyways...

American Werewolf in London:

Good acting, good plot, average FX, good gore. All in all this werewolf classic is deserving of it's good reputation although the creature FX are getting a bit dated. I'd definately recommend it to any fan of the werewolf sub-genre.

Actually, it is dated as that was one of the first movies to have special effects like that without stopping the film. That has to be the top of the werewolf films. On the bottom: "The Howling" and every sequel that followed which unbelievably got progessively worse.

I saw the remake of "Amittyville". Not bad at all. It was kinda creepy for a modern movie, decent acting, and sorta creepy. Could've used more bleeding walls, scarier ghost scenes, but overall, not bad. :)

I do understand what you're saying about Equilibrium too. It seems that pretty much all the debate on this film centers around the "Matrix-or-not" question. I just felt that it had more similarity with works like Fahrenheit 451 or Brave New World than The Matrix.

A lot of people have said that it seems Carpenter is toning things down a bit when it comes to making horror films. That, or the studios are holding him back a little too much.

This is one classic that deserves it's reputation. Twisted story, good acting, no real gore but there's a very creepy atmosphere throughout this film plus a few shots of Mia Farrow's hooters (So that's a plus). I really liked the very anti-happy Hollywood ending. Excellent film.

I suppose it's a little different when you stay home with a decent pile of horror films for halloween. I spent four hours in a bus to get to a Halloween Film Festival called Night Visions (in Finland) and the expectation kept me going throughout the evening. This all-night event had some highlights and not necessarily the best choices, I admit.


23.00 Exorcism of Emily Rose vs. From Beyond

Next up: Haute Tension, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
No.... "Henry: Confessions Of A Serial Killer" is more twisted than "Portrait" was. :) I wasn't too into Rosemary's Baby, but the movie score when the devil was screwing her was just creepy as could be. :eek: :)

I watched Land of the Dead last night.Not as bad as i expected, what with all the negative feedback its got on here.
At least George kept them slow and lumbering, and the makeup effects were very good.As far as the zombie "learning", which seemed to piss off a lot of "critics", it was subtle....its not like they were sitting around reading books or driving cars.

Haute (High) Tension

I absolutely LOVED the first 80% of this film! Straightforward plot, great gore, and it was quite a bit more "edge of your seat" than anything I've seen come out recently. But then, they threw in the twist (If you've seen it you know what I mean) and for me, it totally made a really good movie a whole lot shittier because the twist left gaping plot holes that were never explained.

This movie was cruising towards a solid A grade, but the stupid ending weighed it all the way down to a B-.

Henry: Portrait of Serial Killer

Okay, after hearing much hype about this movie I finally got around to checking it out.... It did not disappoint in the slightest. Brutal from the word go, this movie was just one awesome scene after another. Very well acted, lots of violence and blood, but what I liked best was just the really dark, grim feel of the movie. The last two minutes of the movies were kick ass too! Great movie! Thanks to whoever recommended it to me several months ago.

Return to Oz

How can they make a sequel to the Wizard of Oz? The Wheelers are about 505 cool and 50% annoying as hell, the special FX are starting to look pretty dated, and is it just me or did Dorothy regress in age a few years? Decently acted I suppose, but overall not a very great movie (At least not for the typical horror fan. Your kids might like it though...)

Halloween: H2O

I've seen this movie several times but I don't recall if I've ever given it a writeup on here. Anyways, I watched it again today so I might as well...

I have always liked this one. I'm not sure if it's because Lori Strode is back or because Josh Hartnett (He's from St. Paul. His grandmother and my mom are co-workers so I'm always a little biased in his favor.) is in it and lives. I thought the story was cool, however there wasn't a whole lot of gore. Excluding #1 & 2, H20 is probably my favorite of the franchise.

Meh. It was pretty fuuny, but definatly the low point of the franchise, IMO. There are a couple I havnt seen yet though, but thusfar Shot in the Dark is by far my favourite.


Saw-

I still like it. Acting isnt great, script is pretty bad in places, and there's a good share of plot holes...but for one reason or another, I enjoy it. I love how it ties up in the end, despite the really cheesy bit [You know which part]. One of the better mainstream horror flicks of the past few years, and I look forward to catching the sequel.

Inspired to watch this after having seen Coscarelli's Masters of Horror episode. Speaking of which, why haven't I heard much feedback on this? Head over to TV Show forums and give me a piece of your mind.

Argento's Door Into Darkness Episode 1 - 1/5
Argento's Door Into Darkness Episode 2 - 1.5/5
I cannot comprehend, for the life of me, why this series had to come into existence. Just plain ludicrous.

Along Came a Spider - 2/5
Morgan Freeman putting on the intellectual detective role once more. Sadly it isn't enough to carry the film to the level of Se7en. Not that it tries to, I hope.

Seven - 4/5
Still as brilliantly executed as ever. Can anybody tell me how the (longest) version opens up? It felt like watching it for the first time...disorienting because I don't remember the film opening with Morgan Freeman getting ready for work.

Alien 2003 Director's Cut - 4/5
It just amazes me how well this film holds up to the films of today and to repeated viewings. This has to be one of Scott's best films.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer 2

Well, this wasn't nearly as good as the first one for a fwe different reasons... 1) It just didn't have that same gritty, cutting edge feel to it. 2) It followed the same plot structure as part 1 (Making it pretty predictable) 3) It was a different actor playing Henry. All things considered, this wasn't a bad movie, it just didn't compare to the original by any stretch of the imagination. Unoriginal plot, less gore, worse acting and very annoying scene breaks that make it seem like a commercial cut. (Which is weird since I don't think this was made for tv because there's plenty of swearing in the film. *Shrug* )

I didn't have my hopes set real high to begin with so it didn't really disappoint, it just didn't pleasently surprise either... Fairly run of the mill sequel...

Gene Hackman was great and so was Leonardo DiCaprio but like I said, it could have still been better.

Lost Things, a fairly interesting Australian movie. A nice sense of mystery develops throughout the film, leading up to an ending similar to Jacob's Ladder. 6/10

Loved that movie, it sent so many emotions through me.

I was so disturbed by it, because the innocence and torture were just hammered into you with no reward.

Saw 2 [No Spoilers, dont worry]


I thought it was great! There were still a couple plot holes, but not as bad as the first one. And, like the first one, it had some great twists, though the final twist in both films is fairly weak. The acting was a step up for the most part, however the characters in the house were so friggin flat they might as well been pancakes.

Overall it was good, as good if not better than the first. Recomended.

Last movie I "saw" was also Saw II, liked it a lot and actually it was more fun this time because you knew there would be a twist and were trying to guess it. A lot of the stuff was predictable but there were a couple good surprises and some great traps.

I share the same fear of underwater...things.

But I TiVO'd this movie and fast forwarded at least an hour into it and saw no monster yet. So I got bored and deleted it.

The Sixth Sense.

Enjoyable the first time as long as anyone didn't fuck the ending over for you.

This was my second time and it was equally enjoyable because you notice different "clues" and what not.

I'm sure if I ever see it again, though, it'll suck.

The Changeling

This was a decent film but after having people tell me I should see it for the last year, I was expecting it to be a little better than it was. For starters, I'm not a real big fan Hauntings/Ghost Stories as a sub-genre. The acting was fine and the movie started off cool enough, but then it seemed to drag for about an hour before finally getting towards the semi-interesting stuff at the end. All in all, this one was a little too slow moving and lacking in gore content for my taste, but not a terrible movie...

C+



Saw 2

Alright, well I am one of those people who thought the twist at the end of the first one sucked ass so I wasn't really expecting much when I saw this one. To my surprise, I found it quite a bit more enjoyable than the first one with more elaborate, more gruesome deaths and the best part, a twist that didn't fuck everything up. Another upside was that none of the actor's appeared to be trying to hard, as I felt was the case with the blond John Tesh looking guy throughout the entire first movie.

A-



Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

It never ceases to amaze me how much punishment Harry and Marv can endure while continuing to come back for more. definately not as good as the original, but still a quality sequel. The plot is even more hard to believe than part one and the booby traps set by Kevin aren't as good. All in all, it's a pretty good kids movie, a pretty good sequel, and a pretty good holiday movie.

Mysterious Skin. For once, I am truly impressed with Gregg Araki. Who would have ever thought that the man responsible for the worst film of the Nineties (Doom Generation, if you must know) could create such a thoughtful and subtle drama? In a nutshell, this film is about how sexual abuse destroys the lives of the victims. It's sad and uplifting at the same time, if that makes any sense. Overall, I give it 8/10.

The Skeleton Key

It was better than I thought. I've always been a fan of voodoo movies because there are actually people out there that believe it exists and practice it so it makes it that much creepier. I thought the acting was good and the story was pretty original. There isn't really any gore but the ending I really liked the ending. Not what you'd expect. Anyways, I wasn't expecting much from this, but it was actually pretty good.

From Dusk Til Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money

Well this one starts off with 2 of my favorite actors (Bruce Campbell and Tiffani Amber Thiessen <Kelly Kapowski from Saved by the Bell>) but unfortunately they both get killed in the first 5 minutes and the film progresses downhill from there. The story had some interesting potential, but wasn't executed very well. The acting was mid-range but nothing special. The gore was minimal and the FX were pretty bad for the most part. There are a few very cool camera shots, but nothing I'd recommend seeing a crappy movie for. All in all, this is a terrible follow up to an excellent vampire film, but still an average horror movie when compared to other films....

The Evil One. Serial killer flick about a resurrected H.H. Holmes. Not too bad really, but the horrible sound quality (ultra-loud score, super-soft dialogue... and no subtitles to boot) really detracts from it. 5.5/10

The Devil's Rejects

Well, I've always said House of 1000 Corpses wasn't much more than a pretty good Texas Chainsaw Massacre ripoff, so my expectations weren't too high for Devils Rejects. It is because of that, that I was actually pleasently surprised with this. The acting was fine, gore was good and abundant, the subject matter as hardcore as it comes, and the story itself, as well as the way it was presented, was rather fairly original. (Some parts reminded me of Natural Born Killers, but for the most part it felt fresh.) The only complaint I had were a few instants of bad CGI (maybe 2 or 3 total). All in all, a very good, pretty hardcore film.

B+




Mystery Science Theatre 3000: Hercules vs. The Moon Men

Well, the Hercules movie itself was, once again, terrible. The plot made no sense, the scenes were long, boring and drawn out and the Italian-English dubbing is horrible.

F

But with the commentary of Joel and the robots, this film steps forward by leaps and bounds. This is probably one of the funnier episodes of the show but keep in mind that this is total pothead humor. If you aren't smokin', you probably won't be laughing either.

From Dusk Til Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter

Well, the story was a pretty cool prequel set in the Old West (Or Old Mexico as the case may be), the gore is alright and a few of the actors were good, but there was also some crappy acting and a weird out of place ballroom dance scene between a vampire and a future victim and for some unknown reason one of the vampires had a cobra inside of them (???) .

Anyways, this movie had potential, but it was some really avoidable stupid stuff that drag it's grade down...
