Last Seen Contemporary Movie

[The Villain]

That's why I said I'm glad it wasn't just "Mirrors 3". I didn't like Mirrors because that was so tonally inconsistent. How did the two storylines make it "hard to connect to the characters"?

Dude I was agreeing with you on the mirrors thing damn. Relax.

The story jumped around and instead of building a good story and characters they threw both at you and then let flashbacks tell the story. I couldn't connect because of that.

No one's excited.

The story jumped back in forth because the mirror is supposed to cause hallucinations that manipulate time and space. It also shows why Kaylee was so obsessed with destroying the mirror and how it affected both of their lives. Had it just shown one timeline, it probably would have been a pretty generic movie.

[horcrux2007]

This was painfully unoriginal, had bad acting, directing, writing, and cinematography, and the priest character was extremely unnecessary, but I enjoyed the hell out of it. It had a lot of effective tension accented by its good scares, and I liked how it was set in 1968.

7/10 for entertainment
3/10 for quality


I can't give one rating because I feel like this was a guilty pleasure of mine, and sometimes, I just need some dumb horror.

I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about setting up the plot and characters instead of just throwing us headfirst into without an explanation.

Its not just a personal preference. Its good storytelling. Besides I did mention that, you just didn't understand me

[horcrux2007]

By the time the mirror started showing what it does, I thought the characters' motives and personalities were extremely easy to grasp and understand, and the story was also pretty well set-up.

[horcrux2007]

"The Crazies" sends you head-first into an appropriately crazy movie. It has great gore and makeup effects, the characters all had good personalities, and the acting and cinematography were great. The middle of the film does get a little slow, and there are some scenes that you just shake your head in disbelief at the plot holes, but this movie has a lot of great action, tension, and emotion.

fab innit, i thought it was exceptional

[horcrux2007]

After a college project gone terribly wrong, a ghost haunts a couple that becomes stronger as they start believing in it.

Didn't offend me as much as I thought it would. It had some interesting ideas that never really flourished, sadly, but there were one or two really cool and creepy scenes. The scene in the hotel was a good one, and there's another scene were the main chick is nailing a door shut, but the camera pans back, and we see that she's actually inside the locked door with the ghost/demon/whatever. The rest was pretty mediocre. The first thirty minutes were painfully boring, but if you can get past that, it's a good way to waste a night with a friend or two.

Day of the mummy......1/10 wont even cheapen myself with a review.

[horcrux2007]

I was really surprised by this one! It was so fun to watch, gory as hell, and also hilarious. I liked how it paid some homage to stuff like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Evil Dead, and The Shining, while also keeping a tongue-in-cheek tone. The gore effects were disgusting, the acting and cinematography were good, and the ending was absolutely hilarious. It seems like a love-it-or-hate-it type of movie, but if you like movies like The Evil Dead and Slither, you'll love this.

Rec 4 is set on a ship in the middle of the ocean this time & thats an inflatable raft engine shes holding.

There is zombies in that film, the 2 nazi girls have zombies chained up & control them. It was a bit of a strange film though!!

watching world war z again.

Love that movie!! I've watched it several times!

I didn't find it creepy at all and the jumping around in time made it hard for me to connect to the story or the characters.

Gone Girl (2014)
Starts out as a smart thriller but I thought it was too long and didn't like the ending.

REC 4
Worst in the series. Almost felt like I was watching some typical American horror flick. Would've been alright as a stand-alone movie.
But for REC standards this was quite bad.

Wouldn't mind a prequel about the Madeira girl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tristana_Medeiros) and the priest.
Apparently there's a comic book about it.

Some holiday movies this week:

'Elf' (enjoyable)
'Frozen' (what do you expect, I have a daughter. Good film though)
' A Christmas Carol' (George C. Scott version. My favorite)
'A Muppet Christmas Carol' ( Hysterical, also a favorite)

[Sculpt]

Nope.

But not to worry, I'm not into co-op games.
What don't you like about co-op games?

I played some Duke Nukem 3D custom maps, Half-Life mods co-op, but hardly ever played SP campaigns co-op. Played a ton of Team Game vs AI games, but that's not real co-op of course.

[Baron Von Marlon]

I miss old co-op games like Double Dragon, Streets Of Rage and Final Fight.
Those were some good times.

Could have been an original movie on demonic possession if they just went with a dementia/demonic possession combo.
But the addition of the serial killer/ancient Indian ritual/snake magic ruined it.
I think a movie about the killer would have worked a lot better.
There was enough material for a good story around him. I imagine a mix of Sinister and Deliver Us From Evil.

[horcrux2007]

Did I watch the wrong movie because this was boring as hell. I typically like slower movies like The Babadook and The Exorcist, but at least stuff happened. It had a couple of creepy scenes here and there, but they were never really memorable. The "you're not my daughter scene" just left me with "eh, that was cool, I guess", as well as every other "scary" scene. I also predicted the ending within the first 30 minutes of the movie. This also felt like a very long movie because when the movie wasn't creepy, it was just a lot of uninteresting dialogue. I was expecting a good, suspenseful haunted house movie, but what I got was a forgettable drama.

HONEYMOON 2014


Newlyweds Bea and Paul honeymoon at Bea's family cottage. Its the off season so they are pretty isolated but this seems to suit them just fine.
One night Paul wakes up to find Bea missing and discovers her naked and disoriented in the woods. So starts their nightmare.

Bit of a numbing pace, definitely not on the edge of your seat kind of stuff, but enjoyable with a few little surprises.

This is one of the most interesting, intelligently crafted movie's i've ever seen. The plot keeps you guessing the whole way through and with it's many layers throws you around and messes with your head so you don't know what to think. Great story, great acting and phenomenal directing from Fincher. I loved how different it was from other movies with similar plots. I strongly recommend checking this out.

So i thought this was going to be a movie about a boy finding out his brother is a serial killer and even though that is a major plot point, it's more about the main character's life and what he's going through. The little brother is a sad misunderstood picked on kid who is completely alone in life. The kids all pick on him, his friends abandon him, his parents treat him like shit, he's terrified to be in his own home, and the only person in his life he thought he could count on turns out to be a serial killer. Instead of a slasher movie we see how the boy is not only affected by the truth about his brother but whats going on with him mentally due to everything in his life. I really felt for the boy in this movie and genuinely cared for him. The serial killer storyline does come to a head with a big payoff at the end that actually does tie everything together if you can put yourself in the boys head and feel what he is going through. This actually could've been more of a drama then a horror movie but there are some pretty messed up parts like the VHS tape Headless he watched and of course the finale. Theres definitely some fucked up shit here but if really get into the kids head, there is a great and tragic story here.

Very slow and extremely subtle. If you really enjoy extremely subtle interactions between people you hardly know, and will hardly know by the end of the film, you may like this. There really wasn't enough characterization at all, core human characteristics for a film story, let alone within a plot framework, for me to care much about any of these characters. I didn't wish them any harm, but yeesh, their fictional, so who cares about a bunch of their subtle life moments?

The plot... oh my, now that was plodding. A little here, a little there, about this creature. Eighty percent of the Supernatural TV episodes were more interesting, intriguing, suspenseful, visually striking, creepy & scary. And at least those episodes had a sense of humor.

I just wanted the film to get on with it, have something happen, &/or say something meaningful. A couple things happened over the 87 minutes. It could barely fill a trailer. My life isn't dull enough to watch films like this.

Cradle 2 the Grave.
Half asleep during this one, though not first time viewing.
Some nice action sequences in a relatively brainless film.
Personally out of Jet Lis US films, I preferred Romeo Must Die quite a lot.

Death Becomes Her.
Another one I put on as my brother had never seen it.
He enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. Had forgotten a lot of it. Funny movie.
Very Burtonesque. Still find the backwards head/broken neck walking around scene a little difficult to look at.

HONEYMOON 2014


Newlyweds Bea and Paul honeymoon at Bea's family cottage. Its the off season so they are pretty isolated but this seems to suit them just fine.
One night Paul wakes up to find Bea missing and discovers her naked and disoriented in the woods. So starts their nightmare.

Bit of a numbing pace, definitely not on the edge of your seat kind of stuff, but enjoyable with a few little surprises.

i found this quite slow and strung out too.

This is one of the most interesting, intelligently crafted movie's i've ever seen. The plot keeps you guessing the whole way through and with it's many layers throws you around and messes with your head so you don't know what to think. Great story, great acting and phenomenal directing from Fincher. I loved how different it was from other movies with similar plots. I strongly recommend checking this out.

This is definitely a very good indie feature with a great story indeed! The young actors playing the kid & his killer bro did a fantastic job but still...I'm not complaining, just the thought that came to my mind while watching it was the whole movie could have been 'better' or benefited more if the script, cast & the direction parts were treated by some more professional individuals; as sometime it just felt like bit unnecessarily pulled things slow & made the moments little dull. I can't help but wondering how more awesome it could be if the same story got the film treatment by directors like G. Del Toro or J.A. Bayona (The Orphanage)! The story got all the potential to be the next big thing in Horror arena after or alongside with Let the Right One In.

[Sculpt]

That is true. Loved the skinny black creature fingers. Competent technique in it's few & very far between creepy/scary moments. Which made it all the more "if I only had bigger budget, or bigger balls" film. How bad did Mike Flanagan want to break into the walls of the underpass tunnel? He keep going there, but never delivered.

---SPOILERS---
'Not seeing it' didn't deliver. And how about this... the scene where the abducted husband plunges his hand into his wife's pregnant belly, which was a dream, that's never explained. Did he want to harm the child? When he's found alive, it should have been revealed. But it wasn't. No time or budget for that?

And after the husband is home, and sees she's pregnant, he gives a confused look, and that's it. That all we get? Budget constraints on this character-driven horror film? There's subtle, & then there's just too brief & not enough. And with budget constraints, there's creative ways to reveal what the creature is, it's motives, etc. Some reviews suggest this is an independent gem because of great subtlety... of what? characterization? This didn't deliver Terms of Endearment characters.

I didn't know that the movie was based on actual events, wow.

BA friend of mine told me about the experiments a few Japanese "scientists" and "doctors" assaulted on thousands Chinese civilians, including women and children, and prisoners of war from other countries. Completely horrendous & disgusting. My friend read to me they even put a non-anesthetized, conscious woman into boiling water (& naturally she died). I can't even comprehend a war or medical reason for this, as soldiers don't fall into boiling water.

Just my opinion, but I think the subject is better left as a documentary. The notion of this as entertainment is reprehensible.

When you can rent a film online, or at the library (yes, there's tons of great films for free), Youtube has tons, Netflixs, etc, or at the DVD stores, I don't see the point in putting much of my money into video/DVDs. Got to save for a rainy day, retirement, or give to save lives. Plus, I don't rewatch a lot of films either, though. I have a large music library, but I do listen and use them quite a bit (radio show).

Why do you guys buy so many films?

[hammerfan]

To jump in on the superhero conversation, my favorite is The Avengers. I watch it over and over.

And, I have the same requirement as horcrux when buying movies. If I know I'll watch it again, I'll buy it. Every once in a while, I'll go through my DVDs, and, if there are any that don't interest me anymore, I'll take them to 2nd & Charles.

To jump in on the superhero conversation, my favorite is The Avengers. I watch it over and over.Oh ya, I forgot about the Avengers. I really liked it. I've seen it about 3 times, lots of fun.

Did I watch the wrong movie because this was boring as hell. I typically like slower movies like The Babadook and The Exorcist, but at least stuff happened. It had a couple of creepy scenes here and there, but they were never really memorable. The "you're not my daughter scene" just left me with "eh, that was cool, I guess", as well as every other "scary" scene. I also predicted the ending within the first 30 minutes of the movie. This also felt like a very long movie because when the movie wasn't creepy, it was just a lot of uninteresting dialogue. I was expecting a good, suspenseful haunted house movie, but what I got was a forgettable drama. 4/10 The Others is more of a drama, & honestly, I think it's more enjoyable for adults & parents. I liked it a little better than The Innocents, actually, had a little more heart to grab on to.

Come Back to Me (2014)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p433/sanjidparvez/CBTM_zps45d099e0.jpg

Based on a 2009 novel The Resurrectionist by Wrath James White, though a major twisted key element in this 'Super psycho' flick may sound as silly as any good-old 80s horror movie but still I thought it was decently entertaining. Even loved that final twist at the very end!

Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p433/sanjidparvez/EOT_zps042a0845.jpg

Always been fond of movies featuring Time loop concept. Liked it too but didn't completely satisfied with the ending here. Probably the way they destroyed The Omega kinda reminded me of Pacific Rim finale which I liked too but this similarity bugged me somehow!
Anyway, here's a list on wikipedia about films featuring time loops (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_featuring_time_loops). Surprised to see that it didn't include 1945 horror anthology Dead of Night, which even inspired Fred Hoyle's theory of Steady State model of the universe, developed in 1948.

Well if you're buying it then at least i know it's rewatchable ::big grin::

I'll check it out

I'd second that. Liked it too, one of the good FF flicks that came out lately.

Ballsy and batshit crazy.

A 9.7 rating from 46.246 users on IMDB, which is the most insane rating i've ever seen.

I don't think Ridley Scott could've found 2 whiter people to play Moses and Ramses than Christian Bale and Joel Edgerton. Wtf? And a white kid to play God? WHAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!

The Interview (2014)
A/B or 9
Solid movie with good jokes and some sweet action.
If you like the Seth Rogen/James Franco humour, you'll like this.

[horcrux2007]

Remake of the Spanish found footage film REC. It's about a television reporter and her cameraman who follow a group of firefighters to a routine call at an apartment complex where a lethal virus breaks out that turns the victims into rabid predators.

Pretty much exactly the same as REC but without the atmosphere and authentic-feel. It's still pretty scary, though. If you're going to pick between this and REC, I recommend REC.

The Village
7/10


Fully engrossing film-scape and story. I think my enjoyment was helped by actually reading some descriptions before I saw it (which I usually avoid like the plague). I knew it wasn't going to be a scary gruesome film. It's a modern fairy tale grounded in reality.

The 'pilgrims progress' type of dialogue, and no contractions allowed, felt a bit literary, but the actors were so good, they pulled it off, and it lent to the feel of the purity the village was able to achieve.

The best lines from the film were,

Mrs. Clack: How could you have sent her. She is blind.

Edward Walker: She is more capable than most in this village. And she is led by love. The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.

If you love your family, especially if you have children, I think it's easy to appreciate the film's overall heart and message. It's a simple story. The cinematography, directing, sound and score are very smooth and engrossing.

[horcrux2007]

Three interwoven stories of people haunted by the vengeful ghost that spreads its curse wherever it goes.

This was boring as hell, and the scares were so god damn repetitive. How many times does the movie feel it needs to show Kayako's hands coming from behind someone's head before killing them? We already saw that in the first one, and it was a lot more effective there. It had a good score and some great eye candy, and there were a couple times I did jump. However, this was just an unnecessary and tedious sequel made for the sole purpose of showing more ways that Kayako can kill people.

THE HOBBIT:THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES (2014)- Visually stunning film that, like a lot of Jackson's Tolkien films goes on far too long in the story line. Worth seeing, but will always enjoy HEAVENLY CREATURES or THE FRIGHTENERS more. ***

This was a surprisingly good Netflix hidden gem. It's a very simple movie with lots of atmosphere and thrills, and cults just freak me out in general. My only problem is that they should have resolved a certain subplot at the end. Recommended if you have Netflix.

8/10

[tfantasy]

I would have preferred the book as 2 movies and not 3. 1 seems like it would be way too jam-packed, and 3 seems too spread out.

I disagree completely. I think Jackson spread the stories of LOTR and The Hobbit perfectly in 3 movies each. If he would have made only 2 movies for each series, there would have been so much missing; possibly important facts that tie everything together.

I respect your preference. I just don't understand it I guess. Probably because I'm a collector and because if i like a movie odds are I'll watch it again

I am the same way; however, I only collect movies I know for certain that I will watch more than once. I used to buy everything if it was cheap enough but that became too much.......I will always be an avid movie collector though. Some movies just have to be in my collection, examples: LOTR trilogy, Matrix trilogy, Godfather trilogy, Saw series, Harry Potter series, Hobbit trilogy, and so forth.

Me either. In fact, I doubt I'll ever watch it again (unless friends are).

Avengers was awesome!!

Why do you guys buy so many films?

Because we are collectors!!!!!!!!!!!

It was just another bland superhero movie to me.

I only recently saw, and was somewhat pleasantly surprised by "The Conjuring", so naturally I checked this out.
Didn't like it. Aside from the slightly shocking opening scenes, and maybe one more scene (basement) I found it almost completely lacking atmosphere.
The lead actress was more wooden than the doll. It wasn't interesting. There was no "Ahhh, so that's how it happened" factor at all. Bland movie.
I was honestly just waiting for this one to end.
I'll check out the second conjuring film when it comes out, but I'll hope it's better than this one was.

In the Mouth od Madness (1994)

I was really shocked how good this movie actually was. I never heard of it before, but I found it in a horror list in the internet so I gave it a shot. My girlfriend also saw this movie already, and she said that I should really watch this movie. And so I did, and it was an awesome experience. I never read Lovecraft before, but of course I see that this movie has taken its ideas largely from Lovecrafts works, and it convinced me to order Lovecraft books after. Great movie.

If he would have made only 2 movies for each series, there would have been so much missing; possibly important facts that tie everything togetherYes, two films for Lord of the Rings would have left too much out. Actually, Jackson left too much out already, but it wasn't totally a time issue, there's scenes that are longer than they need to be, especially some battles, and the drawn out 'goodbye' sequence at the end of the Return of the King is painful.

I think the first one, Fellowship of the Ring, was the best. The pacing was excellent, and the character development & heart was generous & expertly engaging. All the other films really are lacking there. ( I own them all). I would have preferred the film series in four films, keeping as much rich detail from the novel as possible.

The 1st two Hobbit films suffer a bit from going too long on the SFX action sequences. They're really well done, it's just many go on too long, at the expense of rich story detail & character development.

This was an unimaginably beautiful, intriguing, and intense film. Despite being a three hour movie, it keeps your attention with twists, breathtaking imagery, and thought-provoking themes. If you have a developed attention span and an open mind, you'd be a fool to not see this. Interstellar is the best movie I've seen all year.

She goes downstairs to some basement/garage/storage area at some point, then she hears a baby crying or some such, sees the pram, then a black figure behind it - gets into the elevator and the door keeps opening after she tries to shut it.

This was the most fucked up movie I've seen... although, there are still more films that I dare to watch. It was incredibly gory, scary, and atmospheric. There's hardly a frame in this movie that isn't completely drenched in blood, and the viewer feels suffocated by the morbid atmosphere, mostly due to the cinematography and score. It was far from a pleasant viewing, but it was a damn scary and memorable one.

The Maze Runner (2014)

A+

I really enjoyed this one! It reminded me a lot of Lord of the Flies, only with a futuristic twist to it. I cannot wait to see what they do with the other movies!!

The Devil's Hand (2014)

B

I liked this even though it felt like it was missing something. At moments, it felt like it was an overused cliche of other stories like this one. It did have an unexpected twist to it which was nice.

I don't know if this actually should be my finally grade since I fell asleep half way through it ::embarrassment:: I would like someone else to watch it and share their opinion. What I did see was pretty boring. I may try to give it another shot.

Though it bears all the marks of a made for Tv film, this is a fun little spook fest based on a real life haunting and features an appearance from the famous Warren ghostbusting team. There is one really outstanding scene I will leave it at that.

Jeffrey Combs chews the scenery wonderfully in this SAW inspired Horror (ala Cheap Thrills/13 Sins). It is surprisingly tame for the 'genre' and there is not much left to see though the compulsory twist might amuse some.

The Haunted (1991)

I think I've seen this one.
Does it end with the family moving out of the house and one member calling on another but the reply comes from upstairs instead or outside or something similar.
If that's the one, I think it was pretty decent and creepy for the time.

Upon reflection, it wasn't fair just to end this post with a smart ass comment. The film, while I feel it "took" from a few other films, was entertaining and effort was put into it to be so.

The Guest (2014)
B+
Cool thriller.
The actor in the leading role was great and I hope to see more of him.
Apparently he's English and was on Downton Abbey.

Spoilers
I was hoping for more info on the military experiment. Seemed a bit rushed too me.
The ending was quite stupid.
Fact that the guy was still walking suddenly gave the movie a horror/slasher vibe. Like all of a sudden he's some kind of monster psycho like Michael Myers.
And when he walks out he makes eye contact with the girl, she just says "What the fuck?" and the movie ends. That was just dumb.

I forgot to mention Tusk.

Wow, I didn't see that coming!! My husband, my son, and I were all like wtf did we just watch??!! The thing is, I liked it. It was weird and it was def something I have never seen before. It's something that I would probably only watch once though....::big grin::

I watched that this week too. Thought it was great. Very extemporanious style of acting -- almost like mumblecore. Good sci-fi concept too.

I really liked it too. It's a very divisive film -- a lot of things to hate, whether it be unevenness in tone, buffoonery by Depp's character which some might consider Kevin Smith sabotaging his own film, the sheer dislikability of Long's character, or of course, the whole walrus thing, which some viewers -- especially fans of the Clerks variety -- might not be able to stomach. For me, the whole spectacle is a guilty pleasure, and I actually currently have it ranked as my #3 favorite horror-ish film of 2014.

one of the most enjoyable ghost storys ive seen in a while, genuinely creepy, jumps and a wee bit of gore thrown in. 8.5/10

I don't do well with 'wording' and you captured my thoughts on this film. It's like you want to hate it but you can't for whatever reason; as a huge Kevin Smith fan, this was something out of his realm but he captured something that people will talk about for a long time. It was rather twisted but for many horror fans, it has the 'wtf am I watching but enjoying' response. Did you listen to the recorded conversation playing through the credits? It was Kevin Smith and some other guy discussing the film, it was rather amusing. I still can't get that image of the Justin Long walrus out of my head!!

"Roseville" 8/10

A Bulgarian Evil Dead for mature people. VERY mature people. I mean, 2 hours long, contains zero humor and it's slow from beginning to end, and the ending wasn't very satishfying. That being said, the production was high class. Amazing camera work, settings and score, solid acting and an interesting story helped holding my interest throughout.

The Haunting 1999
6/10


Three subjects (Catherine Zeta-Jones, Owen Wilson and Lili Taylor) are recruited for a sleep study to a huge scary mansion (HIll House) when really the professor (Liam Neeson) is studying fear. Haunty scariness ensues.

This film was almost universally strongly condemned. It's a loose remake of the popular 1963 film, which I think is a large part of it's poor reviews. I think most are overly harsh.

This film really shows off the spectacularly beautiful & enormous insides of Harlaxton Manor (Hill House), which the original mostly did not. The use of, & cinematography of the mansion is stunning. The characters are likeable (& it's always nice to see the breath-taking Catherine Zeta-Jones), but of little depth.

The first 3/4ths of the films play close to The Haunting original in general scene by scene 'haunting' fare entertainment, except the 1963 had a much better flair of subtlety. The ending quarter of the film inflicts a damaging simple, bland, awkward, SFX-heavy resolution. I wasn't satisfied with the 1963's puzzling ending, but this one was worse... for adults.

If you like beautiful interiors, and effective use thereof, and 'haunting' SFX, I think you'll enjoy the 1999 version. It's not very scary, but it is engrossing & pleasant mild entertainment.

Odd Thomas
6.5/10

"n a California desert town, a short-order cook with clairvoyant abilities encounters a mysterious man with a link to dark, threatening forces."

Reminded me The Frighteners a great deal. If you loved Frighteners (I didn't), I'm sure you'll like Odd Thomas. It hit me as a 'Supernatural' TV episode meets a '24' TV episode; and I enjoyed some of those eps much than this. Technically sound, nice SFX, good acting, well paced, & the unfolding mystery & events are mildly entertaining.

Personally, I think I found the film a bit too old-hat... contrasted with say, "John Dies at the End" which was much more cerebral, original, funny, twisty, etc. After the first 15 mins, the rest of it was a repeat of that; of which I was quite familiar. I didn't find it suspenseful, & found myself waiting for the end, which played as expected. There's nothing wrong with it, per say, just too standard for me.
