I honestly can't think of any so far that were anything to write home about.

True, but it's a no brainer.
It's horror. It's Ridley Scott. It has a huge budget behind it.

"The Woman in Black" as well, although it was quite cliché.
And "The Innkeepers". But it's a matter of taste. I liked it.

I thought both of those weren't up to much especially The Woman In Black that was a total turd.
The Innkeepers is the years biggest disappointment so far for me. It had its moments but I felt pretty let down.

I can easilly understand why you and others would disagree.
To me Woman in black just is an awsome ghost story.The sad lack of imaginative scares doesn't take that away from it, imo. Neither did Harry Potters wooden acting.
The innkeepers... yea, the whole movie IS one slow ass build-up to a very short climax. But i just loved the style, the acting, the dialogue as well as the story. I wish more had happened but i liked it nevertheless.

I haven't seen The Innkeepers but that's high on my watchlist. I LOVED House of the Devil and that was a slow-burn of a film as well. I'm a sucker for old-school modern horror. The Woman in Black is on my watchlist as well, but not as high.
Has anyone seen the original WOB? If I recall it was a made for TV movie from a bunch of years back.

Yea, it contains some serious scares. Find it.

Yeah I was really blown away by House Of The Devil and enjoyed the slow burn style but it just didn't pay off for The Innkeepers. It's nicely put together for the most part with good dialogue and a likeable cast but it throws it all away with a horribly dull, lukewarm and clichéd ending.

Just watched The Innkeepers last night.
I dug it. I liked the pace and really enjoyed the two main characters. They were fun to watch together on screen. I agree that the payoff wasn't spectacular, but I still found it adequate and enjoyable. In contrast to the rest of the film, the last 10 - 15 minutes definitely got my heart rate going :eek:

I think the ending being just "adequate" was my biggest problem because I set my expectations very high and expected more. Might revisit it someday and see if it grows on me.
That's how i felt about House of the Devil. :D
Haha yeah a lot of people seemed to feel the same way from memory.
