Deliver Us From Evil or The Quiet Ones?

[horcrux2007]

I'm trying to decide which one to watch first, so I was wondering which one you guys thought was better: Deliver Us From Evil or The Quiet Ones?

[horcrux2007]

???

[hammerfan]

Can't help, haven't seen either of them

[The Bloofer Lady]

Neither have I. Sorry

[Baron Von Marlon]

If you're planning on watching both, what does the order matter?

[horcrux2007]

I don't know, why do you care?

Curiousity.

[horcrux2007]

Curiousity.

I guess I wanted to see which one was better and hopefully get some opinions on the movie.

You could've watched them both by now. ::roll eyes::

[horcrux2007]

Is it too much to ask for a simple opinion on a movie? I guess contributing threads to this forum isn't welcomed.

[Angra]

Just watch the damn movies.

[horcrux2007]

Just watch the damn movies.

That's fine I'll just sit here and not contribute any more since that's not allowed. I was hoping to see some actual discussion of some sort to see what's good and not good about them and hopefully get a recommendation. I mean, this forum needs all the activity it can get. It's hanging on about 15 active members.

You didn't ask for an opinion on a movie.
You started a poll to find out which one of two movies is the best one, in order to decide which one to watch first.
At least that's how I interpreted it. But then again I'm a bloody foreigner and English isn't my first language.

I started a polling seeing what this forum thought was better... IN THEIR OPINION.

[hammerfan]

Dude, you are WAY too sensitive for this forum. You gotta be a smartass right back to them! It's the only way to survive here.

TQO is less terrible.

LOL no wonder no one ever stays!

[Angra]

You gotta have the skin for it.

But in all seriousnes, this thread is attention-seeking bullshit.

You want peoples opinion on two very different kinds of horror flicks. What will you get out of that? You might as well ask people to recommend either Forrest Gump or The Matrix.

If your choices stood between movies such as Oculus and The Babadook this thread would've made more sense to me and I might have given my opinion.

But, as I said, this is just bullshit.

oh ok. I'll just make sure every post I make is up to your standards. And yes, this was definitely for me to get attention. I can't believe you've exposed my plan.

Try to follow the logic.
You started a topic because you can't decide which movie to watch first.
The same day you bump your topic because nobody replied.
One could interpret that as a need for attention.

When I asked you why does it matter in what order you watch the movies, you say you don't know. Yet it's important enough to start topic on the subject.

If it's all about the movies, why haven't you watched them by now?
What do opinions of other people matter if you plan on watching both movies anyway?
You'd like to contribute and have a discussion on said movies, wouldn't it be easier to do that after you've seen them?

[Angra]

I'm trying to get people to actually reply to my thread. I'm not trying to get attention for myself. I'm getting attention for the topic.

Yes, because I want to see if you guys recommend it. What if everyone said Deliver Us From Evil was bad, and I changed my mind so that I only watched The Quiet Ones?
If it's all about the movies, why haven't you watched them by now?
What do opinions of other people matter if you plan on watching both movies anyway?
I want a recommendation. Is that too much to ask?

That's not the point of this thread. I don't want to have a discussion on the movies. I want other people to give me their opinions on the movies.

Why does it seem like you are so offended that I posted this topic? If you didn't like the topic, you didn't need to reply.

[Baron Von Marlon]

The fact that no one replied could have been a hint.

I'd say that would be pretty stupid because you would let other people decide for you. That way you might miss out on a movie you like.
You seem to be interested in both movies. So why not watch them both?

If I'm interested in a movie, I'll watch no matter what people say.
Sometimes one man's trash is another man's treasure.
I could like something you think is crap and vice versa.

In order to decide which one to watch first. That's what you said.
Both movies seem to have caught your interest enough to make you wanna watch them both. So why do other people's opinions matter?

That's not the point of this thread. I don't want to have a discussion on the movies. I want other people to give me their opinions on the movies.
To me it would make more sense to start a topic on each movie instead of starting a poll. Or to just watch the damn things.

Why does it seem like you are so offended that I posted this topic? If you didn't like the topic, you didn't need to reply.
I'm not so I wouldn't know.

I didn't need to reply to this topic just like you didn't need to create it.

I did feel the need to reply so I could explain you're "doing it wrong" so to speak. I could keep my mouth shut or I could try and make you see things from another perspective.

Since it's such a big deal for me to post threads that aren't up to your standards, I'll be happy finding another place to go where I can ask if someone likes one movie over another. Thanks for reminding me why I left.

So you're willing to leave a forum because a member doesn't agree with you?
If you don't like someone, you can put them on your ignore list (go to someone's user profile, click user lists, click add to ignore list).
Or you could think
"This is an online forum where people come to talk. It's nothing out of the ordinairy that'll I get negative comments from others at some point.
After all, not everybody's the same, people have different opinions and most of all, this is the internet. Why would I care what some guy in another part of the world thinks. Fuck him and his stupid opinion! I'll put him on ignore and start another topic."

Btw, I know you probably hate me by now but believe or not, I'm actually trying to help you out. It's a tough world out there. And it's even a meaner one online. Start caring less about what other people say and you'll be much happier in life.

[TheBossInTheWall]

You folks do realize you're criticizing/picking fights with a kid right? How old are you people? 20s?30s? Leave him alone, you're making yourselves look like assholes.

You act as if I've never been on the internet before. This is the third forum I'm a member of, and it's the first one I've ever left. I don't need your "life help" because the way you're "teaching me" isn't terribly effective. I don't hate you, and I couldn't care less about this petty argument, but if I find myself in this sort of situation, I'm going to defend myself. I don't really care about what people think of me or say about me because if I did, I would have ended it years ago. But don't think I'm not going to defend myself in an argument. Also, I don't plan on leaving here very soon, but I was trying to show you how easily you're shrinking the number of potential active users. If I ever need any sort of life help, I'll ask for it, but I don't want help when it's not needed. Sorry if this post is rambly, but these are just all my thoughts.

[Jake.Ashworth]

This whole things spiraled out of control... Hey guys, I love you both. In a Im married with kids kind of way. Everyone chill, lay back, grab a drink and move on. I think this thread can die now.

[ImmortalSlasher]

I thought this place was about horror movies? Crazy topic.

I watched Deliver us from Evil some time ago. I'm not doing reviews anymore on movies that aren't that great. And Deliver us from Evil isn't that great. I would pass on it completely. You won't be missing anything good. I would go with The Quiet Ones. But I haven't seen it yet.

Yeah I stopped about half way through of Deliver us From Evil. It was boring. The Quiet Ones is decent. 6/10 I'd say. I've never see Jarred Harris do anything except great acting so he's always good.

[tfantasy]

Horcrux,

I don't have time to be on here very much right now but I would have answered you sooner!!

Deliver Us From Evil all the way!!! It's an awesome movie!! The atmosphere of the movie reminded me a lot of Se7en. I didn't like The Quiet Ones at all, very boring.

Just my opinion.......

[Giganticface]

Wow, there sure is a lot of energy spent on not answering the dude's question. If you think it's a dumb question then don't reply. And honestly, does this forum really have such an oversaturation of compelling conversation that an an attempt to stimulate some is so unwelcome?

It's a fair question. Two middle-of-the-road supernatural horror films that came out over the past year or so. It's a question I would ask myself if I hadn't already seen both, and if they were both in my queue at the same time.

Personally, I think both films are not great, but have some strong moments. Deliver Us is more Hollywood/accessible. The Quiet Ones suffers from being pretty boring and reliant on loud noises. I slightly prefer Quiet Ones, and it also gets pretty good toward the end. That would be my recommendation, but they're both watchable. I think there are better choices out there though.

I've already stated my opinion on the matter. I'm done here.

[horcrux2007]

It looks like everyone recommends The Quiet Ones. I guess that's tonight's movie.

[Giganticface]

It's worth a spin, but there are quite a few 2014/2015 movies I'd put above it though. I have it at #16 out of 19 for 2015.

Ya know The Quiet Ones came out last April?

[Giganticface]

Ya know The Quiet Ones came out last April?

I do it by when a film's "wider release" happens -- wide theatrical, VOD, or US DVD. Most bloggers and horror news outlets group it that way for practical purposes.

I remember seeing the trailer last year, but I don't remember it getting a wide theatrical release, and it's definitely just recently hit VOD. Bottom line, I don't think anyone really saw last year. I read dozens of end-of-2014 lists (and not just "best of"), and it wasn't on any of them. I could be wrong though, maybe I just totally missed it.

[horcrux2007]

It came out April 25th.

[Giganticface]

It came out April 25th.

I can look it up on IMDB too. ;)

Did you see it then, or know anyone that did?

[Edit] Apparently it did get a US DVD release last year. Hmm, it sure got zero buzz, and wasn't even on the radar until VOD, which is weird considering its distributor. I suppose technically I should move it to the 2014 list, but I'm still betting it will be written about more at the end of 2015 than it was end of 2014.

[horcrux2007]

I remember seeing a poster for it in theatres last year, and there was a trailer for it before Oculus. Tbh I don't think it'll ever get any sort of recognition. I also remember seeing the DVD in my amazon recommendations all last year.

[Giganticface]

That settles it then. I'll move it to 2014.
