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

So this version is cut? i believe it was you who had referred me to a website that tells you with DVDs are cut and which aren't, if it was, could you refresh my memory?

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.

The Horror fan 03-30-2013 11:42 AM

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

YES. Seconded. I was really surprised at this one - I found it genuinely creepy.

I don't get why people thought it was so good. I liked it and all but found a lot wrong with it. I was expecting a lot more and ultimately was disappointed.

Could be just the opposite for me - To be honest, I didn't think it was going to be any good... And it surprised me.

Same here, I actually nodded off in Cinema while watch this these and same for PA 4.

ChronoGrl 04-04-2013 06:50 AM

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.

I definitely agree with you. I thought the footage was creepy. It was unsettling and disturbed me for a little while after.

No Mercy (2010)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps4c088f13.jpg

Synopsis:
Quote:

A chopped-up body of a young woman is found near a riverbank. Korea's top forensic investigator Kang Min is brought in to look into the cruel, horrendous crime method. His medical advice and a young detective's deduction lead to the arrest of a prime suspect - an environmental activist named Lee Sung. When Lee's confession almost wraps up a seemingly easy but strange murder case then actually the real story begins; as the suspect Lee starts to play a cat & mouse game with the coroner Kang Min and his involvement moves from merely being the man supplying the pathology report to a desperate guy whose daughter untimely appears to be missing also.

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.

ChronoGrl 09-23-2013 10:36 AM

^^ 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)

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.

Subtle, slow-burning creepy brilliance. One of the best films of 2013. HIGHLY recommended.

adamhenderson 11-08-2013 08:51 PM

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.

Watched this one a couple of days back and thought it was really good. Found the slow burn a bit much at first but it paid off. Definitely back this rec!

If you're able to suspend your disbelief at parts of the plot, the tension is non stop. Great performances especially from Hugh Jackman

I love all the films you referenced, and this one's been in my queue for a while, so I guess now it's time to watch it. Thanks for the nudge.

I loved it too! Joe Swanberg's attempt to convince Ti West that he should make commercials, because, you know, that's where you can really be artistic -- hilariously self-aware. Good suspense, and a couple of the kills caught me off guard. I'm looking forward to watching this again.

"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

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.

Me too. I had been waiting a while to see this, and was so stoked to see it show up on Netflix. The story was perhaps a bit simpler than I had expected, but the key scenes were definitely effective. Plus, Joe Swanberg is way less creepy in movies he doesn't direct.

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.

horcrux2007 04-14-2015 05:57 AM

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.
