I have seen all except for part 4. I remember part 2 being fairly decent, but over the run of the series, the focus seems to be shifting from storytelling and filmmaking to gore. So I'd say watch part 2 if you feel like it and save the latter three until one of those days when your inner gore hound kicks in.

the second FD is by far the best if for nothing else but the highway sequence.
Incredibly well done ..

there was also a pretty funny incident with a BBQ :)

Banshee Chapter (2013), directed by Blair Erickson.

Pretty good. I've read somewhere that it's loosely based on From Beyond by H.P. Lovecraft and the movie From Beyond (1986). I didn't know that before watching this though. I will have to see it. ::wink::

The Descent (2005), directed by Neil Marshall.

I really liked it. It's dark, claustrophobic and tense.

I enjoyed this one, rewatched it a couple of times. Pretty lurid, though the acting is a little bit cheesy. Have you seen Grave Encounters 2 (2012)? I heard people complaining it's garbage. Well, I must say, I didn't like it either, it's rather mediocre.

I agree. ::big grin::

Actually have 2 lined up for tonight.

Okay, let me know what you think about it later. ::cool::

Anyone fancy a wing? ::big grin::

Will do.

The lodge

Inside aka À l'intérieur (2007), directed by Alexandre Bustillo, Julien Maury.

The plot is quite simple, though the movie is really depressing and disturbing. Gory, violent and intense.

Livid (2011), directed by Alexandre Bustillo, Julien Maury.

It's like a dark modern horror fairytale. Quite unique, there's a proper amount of horror and fantasy.

Both movies were directed by Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury, French filmmakers. I've read that their influences come from Dario Argento, Roman Polański, Clive Barker and John Carpenter. They debuted with a controversial gory flick and then they were detached to Halloween II (2009), but eventually they left the project. I see they also made Among the Living (2014) and Leatherface (2017). Actually, I'm a little bit reluctant to Leatherface, but maybe I'll see it, out of curiosity.

Cry for the Bad Man, 2019. 7,5/10

Director: Sam Farmer

GRAVE ENCOUNTERS 2 2012

Film students try to find out what happened to the original film crew of the movie Grave Encounters. I had to skip a bit to get to the gist of the movie and then didnt want to finish.

Too scary, huh?

Jack The Ripper - I taped this when it came out and watched the VHS a few times.

Still a fun watch and Caine is as good as ever. Seeing part 2 tonight.

Ant-Man

ant man was my last one too ..
i started the next one (captain america - civil war) but i fell asleep early on in.

work is burning me out

To be fair, i didnt give it a chance. The first bit was just college students gone bad so i kept skipping that and then the second bit was like been there, done that.

Atrocious (2010), directed by Fernando Barreda Luna.
The Orphanage (2007), directed by J.A. Bayona.

Some Spanish horrors. To me, The Orphanage is more like a drama, quite sad one. Atrocious is not a bad found-footage flick, but actually had a potential to be better.

I see. Well, I think that the sequel wasn't necessary in that case, or at least could be done better.

How did you like it?

I thought it was... ok. Mostly because of the ghosts. Not much else.

That's exactly what I thought of The Orphanage, a drama and sad.

Speaking of Spanish horrors, did you see Aterrados (2017) Terrified? And what'd you think? I haven't seen it yet.

Yes, I did. I watched it at night with no light and it was pretty scary from what I remember. Kinda freaky, you may say. The sounds were quite sinister (sometimes too loud, IMO) and the special effects were good. To me, the story could have been more developed, though the pacing was well-aligned. Creepy supernatural beings, tense atmosphere - let's say it was a solid horror movie.

While we're on the subject of Spanish horrors... have you seen Verónica (2017)? I enjoyed that one, though I'm not a big fan of possession-like movies. Maybe it's not that scary and has mixed reviews (actually some are a little bit too harsh), but, all in all, it's watchable. ::wink::

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade So. Much. Fun. ::smile::

The Orphanage and Aterrados ::love::

5 A.M. 2016

An Argentinian film about games to summon the dead. Not particulary scary. Pretty to look at. Dont think i understood it.

No, haven't seen Veronica. I'm not a big fan of films where 'strange things happen' without a very specific reason for the exact thing that happens. I mean just seeing and hearing and finding 'scary' and 'weird' things, cause there's an angry spirit or whatever, not my cup of tea. But if what they see is very specific to the plot, to character's own mind or experiences, then I'm on board, but that seems to be rather rare.

Ford bumping into Hitler was cool scene. It was fun. I preferred the more serious tone of Raiders, but Crusade was still entertaining.

::love::

Inner Demon Pretty forgettable stuff.

THE REEF (2010)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SPOILERS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Two couples and a deck hand set out for some fun/business before their boat strikes a reef, putting a hole in the bottom. The question is to stay with the slowly sinking boat in the open ocean, hoping for rescue or swimming to a known island some miles away, even if Wally (The Deck Hand) mentions "I know what's out there...".

Have seen some criticism of this in some quarters, but I think it's a visceral taut little film that is extremely frightening. I thunk Sharks-and Great Whites in particular- are fascinating animals, but can't think of anything scarier than being grabbed by a Station Wagon with teeth::EEK!::. Also, the hugeness of the ocean and not knowing where said White might be....

Very good and if You like this, check out the same groups BLACK WATER about a Salt Water Crocodile as well. ****

Germany has declared war on the Jones-boys. ::big grin::

For me, Indiana Jones is the template of how you do a blockbuster action movie. The best balance of humor, action and sillyness.

Z, 2019. 7/10

Director: Brandon Christensen




A child's imaginary friend starts fucking with the family...Z was really creepy looking although you only get to see glimpses of him. I wanted to see more but I guess that was the point to keep you interested. Not bad.

The Descent: Part 2 (2009), directed by Jon Harris.

I love The Descent (2005). As for The Descent: Part 2, well, it was not necessary (the first part's ending is open to interpretation and that's the point actually), but still entertaining.

House of 1000 Corpses (2003), directed by Rob Zombie.

It's more like a black comedy than a horror... There's no tension and anything new, though I still find it kinda fun to watch.

Get In (2019), directed by Olivier Abbou.

Huge disappointment for me. I have a small problem with Netflix thrillers - I didn't like any of them so far.
This movie really made my hackles rise... the characters were annoying, no one to symphatize with... unnecessary threads departing from the main one... There was one scene which was truly scary / disturbing, but the whole movie was just meh.

Frontière(s) (2007), directed by Xavier Gens.

Really violent, fast-paced... a blood-soaked gore, recommended for those who like dark slashers, I guess.

I see. Well, I'm not a huge fan of this kind of movies either, but I like to watch them once in a blue moon (sometimes more often if there is nothing else on hand ::big grin::).

to me it's the one and only movie to ever capture the geek show hysteria of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

It's the only Rob Zombie movie i like

I like it. It's not my favorite of the Marvel series, but, that's because of my issues with Evangeline Lilly.

Your issues with Lilly. Oh man.. what did she say to you?

LOL. I just think she's a terrible actress.

A quick question that I have.

Decided to watch the first Alien, the directors Cut. After seeing many years the original version, during this pandemic I've wanted to see the other version also and saw something that blew me away.

In the original Alien, Dallas disappears without any trace and his wareabouts are left without an answer. But in the directors cut, we see that Ripley discovers the alien nest where Dallas has been impregnated with a xenomorph, near the body of Brett, who is becoming an alien egg (?).

Why did a big twist like this was left out?

My guess is that the producers felt that it wasn't integral to the story

Incredible, to be honest. That scene is really a preview of what the marines find in Aliens and explains a lot about the ending Dallas had.
Always wondered what happend to him and was thinking he somewhat managed to escape.

I had seen the director's cut back in 2003, but I didn't catch that Brett was turning into an egg. It's only in the novel do they indicate Brett is turning into an egg.

As far as the film Alien goes, I'm not sure why they left it out. But I find the film full of symbolism, the heartless corporation, Ash and Alien, evil getting inside. What happens to Dallas and Brett, and Ripley having to kill them, is horrific; and it's an interesting, though very fuzzy aspect of Alien biology, but I don't think it readily fits into the symbolism and focus of the film.

Also, although it's a nice to break in Ripley's long escape sequence... I don't think it helps to have the audience distracted, trying to figure out what they just saw, when they really should be focused on Ripley trying to escape in time.

I see. Well, she wasn't that bad as Tauriel though. ::big grin::
