Geez.....didn't anyone like final destination?? I gotta disagree with u partially here creeper...I know scream spawned ALOTTA shit, but, I think FD was the first film it a few years at the time to break that pattern, and put supernatural in the saddle for a while...thenafter came jeeperscreepers, and it's all going monster/supernatural from here on....I think the 90's reign of teen slashers pretty much in it's dying phase, MAYBE , or maybe not due to final destination breaking the cycle...sorry, I just can't stand to see this film lumped in with the rest of those, just IMO...

avenger00soul 01-17-2004 06:38 PM

I know you weren't knocking the 90's. Just trying to figure out this "modern" thing. Even if he means from Scream on, there were still some damn good movies that were made during that time.

Evil Ash 01-18-2004 06:41 PM

The modern day thing was a little... vauge. My bad.
I can't really say all modern day movies... I guess I meant all the new fad movies, like Final Destination and Jeepers Creepers. I really hate those two movies. I guess you can say if a group of teenagers can run up and say, "omg omg, that movie was SO scary!" then I probably won't like it.

Lord of Illusions is a great film, along with many 90s films. It just seems in the past few years, horror movies have gone to shit.

Digital Murders 01-18-2004 06:46 PM

New Nightmare came out in '94. It's probably the best nightmare since the first one. Only a few good horrors came out in the 90s. NN was one of them.

I'll stand with you on this one Cheeba...I liked it, too

KRUGERKID13 01-19-2004 11:01 AM

the ring, resident evil, jeepers creepers, wrong turn, blair witch project, hannibal, and tcm(great movie and i love it but not as fantastic as people say)

Arioch 01-23-2004 11:59 AM

The Evil Dead Series is TERRIBLY overhyped. Dont get me wrong its good, but alot of you guys on here breath, eat, and sleep Bruce Cambell. To each his own, i just dont get it.


But hey i dont get the pinhead attraction either so....;)

Well, I'm not fanatic about either Ash or Pinhead, but Pinhead is kinda hot. He has this whole S&M thing going on. Very sexy.;)

halloweenfan107 01-23-2004 01:01 PM

i loved Wrong Turn, but thats because Im a HUGE Eliza Dushku fan and I always loved TCM Re-Male, but then again I never saw the original, and I love Jessica Biel

All modern day horror movies, especially the remakes. Stupid ignorant teens. The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is overrated as well.

is there anything that you do like?!?!?!

Hopefully we are in a recovery stage, at least the films that are coming out are paying homage to earlier films, House of 1000 corpses, TCM, Cabin Fever I even like Wrong Turn, thought it was well put together. It just seems like ideas for horror films are running out.

what was wrong with Final Destination?!?! It wasnt scary in the sense of the word, but it really messed with your brain, it made people realize that you could die, anytime and anywhere and thats what made it "scary"

Psychoholic 01-24-2004 01:34 AM

I agree final destination was awesome.
I actually didn't see it for ages because looking at the cover i thought it was another crap teen horror movie, then when i finally saw it not long ago i was pleasantly surprised, one of the best horror films i have seen in a long time.

What did you guys think of the sequel?

Trust me, The Original TCM is a must-see for horror fans. Go rent it NOW!!! LOL

Keyser_Soze 01-24-2004 03:51 PM

I am ashamed
 
TCM overrated??? This movie has been a staple of many of the movies that came after it. Alien, made by Ridley Scott is one that comes to mind. He wanted to make TCM in space.

I am ashamed for those of you who said TCM. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but movie history itself calls TCM a great movie.

Don't you have Netflix? Pressure your parents to sign-up for it if you don't. In fact, I have TCM on my rental list as we speak. :cool:

Sam The Egg 01-24-2004 04:42 PM

Netflix is God. Especially if you can copy DVD's.

Let me guess, Sam. the 39.99, 8 movies out at a time plan?

Sam The Egg 01-24-2004 05:01 PM

3. It's my dad's account, so I don't pay for the blank DVD's or the cover templates or any of it in addition to not paying for the account, that means a lot of free DVD's for a certain Egg.

Sam The Egg 01-24-2004 05:11 PM

Hmmm I wouldn't know. I don't do action films. Strictly horror and comedy here. Preferably when both are in the same package.

Sam The Egg 01-24-2004 05:16 PM

I don't care, I like my movies like I like my movies. Good.

Arioch 01-25-2004 02:31 PM

Hey why do you guys PAY to download movies?:confused: I can find just about any movie i want to see (except goddamn Ginger Snaps:mad: ) for free download on a file sharing network. I dont pay shit and only have to put up with a bit of spyware (but adaware takes care of that;) )

But if you parents are paying for it then its not your money anyway so...

Leslie Daher 01-28-2004 04:08 AM

FRAILTY
PIRATES OF THE CARRIBBEAN
STAR WARS
THE MATRIX
PRETTY WOMAN (any of julia roberts' movies really)
TERMINATOR 3
SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE

i'm sure there are others that I can think of.....

buddy 01-28-2004 07:58 AM

thought i already posted in this thread, but ehh guess not.. never saw why people thought 'pumpkinhead' was such a good horror movie. seemed average at best but granted, i haven't seen it in a while.

anyone here like it and care to persuade me otherwise?:)

Vodstok 01-28-2004 08:04 AM

nope. No desire to persuade you otherwise. Never understood the hoopla. Especially the way Lance pussies out at the end...

(Oh no, i didnt want the demon to KILL them...What the fuck was I thinking?)

fluffho 01-28-2004 08:16 AM

T3 was awesome

good action, much better than that matrix crap. i was very skeptical at first, but love arnie. action was great (fire engine chase), not overdone.. the computer effects were done very well too

kristanna kicked ass. plus she was driving my car!

also had some good comedy in it :-D

my governor kicks ass

but definitely.. matrix sucks. the first one was ok, action was good. but its one of those things where the story is cool, but try to get deeper and make more sense of it the idiocracy rears its ugly head... in this case 2 VERY ugly heads.

so im assuming people saw the 3rd.. how was Aaliyah in it? im wiling to bet she did a better job than keanu!! keanu has ruined all movies whether it was dracula or the 3 minutes he spent in 'rush rush'!

Leslie Daher 01-28-2004 08:22 AM

terminator 3 was okay but far too hyped..my brother just bragged how great it was and it wasn't as great IMO. no heart. and they didn't play the music until the end so that who car chase scene was kinda boring to me.

Vodstok 01-28-2004 09:01 AM

i will watc t3 someday, only if it costs me nothing. The terminator movies were Jim Cameron's babies, t3 has NOTHING to do with him. I have no hopes for that movie.

And the Matrix movies are very much subject to opinion. i liked all of them, but it seems pretty popular to say they sucked.

sniktawt 01-28-2004 09:05 AM

T3 was mediocre.
I didn't hate it but it was not near the previous one's.

yeah.. maybe the thing about it was that lance was in it and i think stan winston directed (or at least did the creature effects?)? the creature is admittedly pretty cool looking but i look at p-head the movie as a missed opportunity..

Leslie Daher 01-29-2004 03:33 AM

tcm is highly overrated IMO and just b/c something is popular doesn't make it good...i'll have to watch it again but i'm pretty sure i'll hate it and i KNOW i hate the sequels!!




GENERAL'S DAUGHTER
&
THE GIFT (was EXTREMELY overrated. katie holmes shows her tit and WOW! it's a piece of cinematic greatness...HATED IT!!!!!!!)

Leslie Daher 01-29-2004 04:01 AM

WHAT DREAMS MAY COME

that's another one that i just never got why it was so big. i was just as excited as anyone to see that film and it wasn't very good IMO. too choppy and they tried to make it all grande and emotional. they gave it to robin b/c he played the greiving widow in good will hunting...it's supposed to be all extreme and it didn't seem like there was any real connection between he or annabella.

i was going to post the original tcm too, thought the movie was alright but not worth the over-the-top fuss i'd read about

Je Suis Phnomne 01-29-2004 05:47 AM

Needful Things
FvJ
TCM remake
Cabin Fever.....didnt hate it but expected much more
Scream series
Blair Witch....including the parodies....should have sued them for motion sickness

Demon Seed 01-29-2004 01:34 PM

I pretty much like all horror movies, just because they're horror movies, so I don't think any of them are overrated...I just REALLY like horror movies


I see some stuff I like in all of them
