Little known gem of a film, grabbed it on a whim. Packed with violence and well choreographed action, a relentless, take no prisoners exploitation/action film, give it a watch |

Looper (2012)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...psae263393.jpg Wow. One of the best modern scifi flicks that I've seen in a while and most certainly one of the best movies of the year. Really tight writing and acting, and a very solid, quality scifi story. Absolutely loved it. Highly recommended. |

rewatched Zombie Cult Massacre. Still a great backyard flick with heaps of gore and absurdity galore. full review here

Sinister (2012) Went into this without knowing anything about it and that's the best way to approach this. What makes me recommend this is that it makes considerable effort to try and be scary and it succeeds very well. It uses reasonable characters, subtle pacing and score remarkably well to ratchet up the tension. Again like all the best horror in my opinion it aims for a cumulation of horror. There's a lot happening here, it's thought provoking and has the kind of ending that will haunt you for days afterwards. Soak in the mystery and enjoy the journey this takes you on.

If you are big fan psychological thrillers, I Recommend you this movie,
Next Door Aka Naboer (2005) is a 2005 Norwegian psychological thriller film. John has just been left by his girlfriend Ingrid. That day he allows himself to be seduced into a mystical and scary world, where it is impossible to separate truth from the lies This was very strange movie, in a good way, It get kept me entertained from the start to the end movie, I did not once I look away from scene in this 75 min movie. There were some odd and confusing moment in this movie, as this movies really mess with your head and as it come closer to ends, who wondering how the hell is coming to end. I really liked how the story can to end and the last scene in the movie, the last scenes in this movie will stay with you for every long time after see that scenes as I found that last scenes very disturbing. Great psychological movie 8/10 |

What really stuck with me was the "found footage" - It really creeped me out... I haven't seen many Killer POV horror movies (yes I know there are a LOT of them - Just not typically my genre), so I found all of the footage to be genuinely disturbing and unsettling.
... Next recommendation from Chrono: The Revenant (2009) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps0365a6d7.jpg I have to say - Wow. I had low expectations going into this based on a fairly mediocre review from Rue Morgue... I assumed that it was going to be just another stoner zombie buddy comedy... But it surprised me by having quite a bit of depth. Taking a LOT of influence from Return of the Living Dead, The Revenant starts off initially as a gory comedy, but then it dissolves into a very dark, Nihilistic, and cynical place... While not a perfect movie (it does meander a bit in the middle), the end really ties it all together... And it's a damn good ending. Not to mention, the soundtrack is killer and I can't wait until it comes out in a couple of weeks. HIGHLY recommended and would love to hear feedback from others who've seen this. 4.75/5. |

No Mercy (2010) http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps4c088f13.jpg Synopsis: Quote:
From Chan-wook Park's Vengeance trilogy to recent highly intense serial killer-thrillers like THE CHASER or I SAW THE DEVIL, over the years Korean cinema has gained its reputation worldwide for showing an immense amount of bravery in terms of what it wants to tell the viewer with unpredictable storyline & shocking resolutions near the end of a movie; when the audience literally had their hands clasped over the mouth trying to hold back an irresistible stunned reaction. And this debut film from writer-director Kim Hyeong-Joon, can be classified as another addition to those 'edge of your seat movies' from Korea. It's like a true fanboy's good-honest tribute to his favorite master director's one of the greatest films or even it won't be too much exaggerating to say, it's like an unofficial, new entry to Chan-wook Park's Vengeance series just without having Mr. Park on the director's chair! But still considering everything, I won't like to put it on the same level with Park's vengeance series. Most of the part, it was like another decent version of THE CHASER but you have to wait till the twisted finale comes with a heart-breaking and devastating revelation that fairly reminded me of one of the most highly appreciated films in Park's Vengeance saga. But again I like to add overall it's not may be as much great as any of those Park films but obviously a very entertaining, delightful watch that will try best to shock you hard at the end. So be prepared who ever haven’t seen it yet. |
^^ I still haven't seen The Chaser all the way through... I thought I Saw the Devil was absolutely brilliant though (and well you know I love the Vengeance Trilogy)... I'll have to check this out.
... You're Next (2011) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps450e137d.jpg Really good, solid horror. Great writing - Funny dialogue and gags that were well-timed and played, this movie is not just another home invasion flick. A lot of fun to watch. I want to see it again because I sat next to people who talked through the whole time... Which is unfortunately why I don't go to the movies very much anymore. Recommended. ... The World's End (2013) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps66496ca3.jpg Absolute and total blast. I love these guys. Wanted to rewatch it immediately (and am considering cutting out of work to go see it again now... hmmmm....). Recommended. ... Stoker (2013) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps27daf66b.jpg Subtle, slow-burning creepy brilliance. One of the best films of 2013. HIGHLY recommended. |
I watched Rosemary's Baby for the first time the other day. I didn't think I would enjoy it, because I'm not religious and I don't find religious horror scary. However there is something special about Rosemary's Baby; maybe its because I find the vulnerability in Mia Farrow's voice intoxicating.
The ending was so utterly and brilliantly bizarre that I have to highly recommend this movie. Sorry if everyone has seen it before. |

Prisoners
If you're able to suspend your disbelief at parts of the plot, the tension is non stop. Great performances especially from Hugh Jackman |
Just saw this one the other day. Definitely into it.

"Maniac", '12: Truly twisted, one of the best endings ever; and who would have thought Frodo would make such a great serial killer?
LOVED The Conjuring, Mama, Evil Dead '13 Saw "Frankenstein's Army" and it stunk, which pissed me off because the premise could have made a great movie |
Quote:
Also, totally agree about the Maniac remake. Can't wait to see that one again. |
I wonder if anyone had seen the recent Vampire Academy movie. I read the book, but I kinda missed the showing. But am still interested to see it.

Her (2013)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps468eeb57.jpg I'm going to have a hard time writing about this movie because I don't think that I could possibly do it justice. In short: This is a perfect, beautiful little movie about love and technology and relationships... Relationships between two people... And our cultural relationship with technology... A non-dystopic near future that is beautiful and transhuman... So many things to love about this movie - The writing, the warm glow of the direction, the characters - Acting by Joaquin, Scarlet, Amy Adams... The costumes, the world-building, the beautiful and melancholy music - I just loved, loved, loved this movie... I also loved how it touched on technology - We're in the near-future but it's not a dirty dystopia - Sure, we're still plugged into our devices, but it's not about how technology is taking over - It's about our relationship with technology (both literally and figuratively in the movie) and it also explores the philosophy of AI & Turing... Touched on some very interesting science fiction themes and has a very well-done conversation with the audience... I know that was a really mushy review but honestly, I loved loved loved this movie - I definitely recommend it, especially for science fiction-lovers who were intrigued by its premise. 5/5. |
Give it a spin. |
I'm not gonna put really well-known movies because chances are, most people here have seen them. I think all of them are available on Netflix.
Exam - A really intense and unpredictable thriller about 8 people locked in a room who are trying to find the answer to a question they don't know in order to get a prestigious job. The scope is limited to just the one room, and a lot of the thrills come from the dialogue and characters' interactions. It's of my favorite thrillers. The Den - Probably one of the scariest movies I've ever seen, which might be because it hits so close to home in my generation. The Den takes place entirely on a laptop, and it's about a woman who witnesses a murder on a chat roulette site. It goes off the deep end a little bit at the end, but it's still a really effective and memorable movie. Absentia - This one is directed by Mike Flanagan, who directed Oculus, so if you liked that, you'll probably like Absentia. It's about a widow whose husband went missing 9 years ago, and he suddenly comes back, claiming that a monster in a nearby tunnel is responsible for his absence. Absentia is a good example of what's come to be known as "quiet horror", where not much really happens, but the dark themes make up most of the scares. Pontypool - A zombie movie with a really bizarre twist. Pontypool isn't particularly scary, but it's definitely original and quiet intense. This takes place entirely inside a radio station, so a lot of the action is only heard over a speaker and not actually shown in the movie until the last act. It starts out very slowly, but you definitely want to stick out the first half. The movie takes a 180 and becomes really intense very quickly, so the slow start is worth it. Grand Piano - Out of all of Elijah Wood's movies (except Lord of the Rings, obviously), this is my favorite of his. Grand Piano is about a famous pianist who has to play a nearly impossible piece without messing up or else he'll get shot in front of a huge audience. You're going to have to suspend your disbelief quite a few times throughout, so if you're looking for realism, skip this one. Grand Piano is perfectly over-the-top while not being too campy. It's suspenseful, unpredictable, and really fun to watch. |
Check this one out if you like crude humour, violence and zombie action.

Let Us Prey (2014)
Thought I'd recommend this one since it appears few people have seen it. I thought is was quite special and original. If you don't know what to watch, give it a go. |
