Just the overall look of things. The old woman in the window and the "demon" which was quite obviously just a guy painted black with a red face with some fake fur around his shins. Maybe campy isn't the right word. Probably cheap and low-budget might be better. But combined with with the overall serious tone of the movie I just thought it came off looking somewhat ridiculous and campy for lack of a better word.

Went to see this yesterday and loved it. Man the set design was impressive.
The only thing I didn't like was the Wolverine cameo.

Okay that makes sense. I tend to like cheap, low-budget movies so maybe thats why i didnt see it that way. I actually liked the demon and the old lady, i thought they were pretty creepy. The thing i liked most about the movie was that it was actually able to create a scary atmosphere. It felt tense and was actually frightening instead of just having frightening elements.

I thought this was just gonna be another evil cult/americans in a foreign country movie but by the end it turned into a completely different thing. I liked the path the movie took and it actually surprised me. It's not the greatest horror movie i've ever seen but i like how it didnt fall into the trap of using typical cliches and the same old pattern.

Plus the statue was awesome.

From the R.I.P thread
Just got back from The Hangover: Part Two.
Pretty fun movie. Thought it was fairly different from the style of the first one but it still comes off as a worthy sequel. For me it wasn't as outrightly funny but I thought the events of the film and the storyline were equal if not better.
Good follow up. Nothing remarkable but one I'll add to my collection nonetheless.

Prey (2010)

I wanted to upload a picture of the movie but the attachment thing wouldn't let me.
so i just type the title in stead of using a picture.

Luckily not as cartoonish as i thought it was going to be but unfortunately it wasnt as epic as well. But it was fun and exciting and that was all i was looking for.

I must say I was pretty impressed.
It was a little different than I expected and pretty ambitious for a low budget horror film. I expected some thing along the lines of Zombieland but its more serious kinda like a cross between The Road and Omega Man (it does borrow alot of elements from other films but it still feels original enough).

I didn't expect to see any name actors but Kelly McGillis and the throaty guy from Generation Kill made an appearance.
The acting was better than I expected - the script was a little clunky at times but I got over it.

The main guy reminded me alot of William Smith:

Completely agree. I was expecting a slightly more grand-scale, effects-laden, epic GL but it felt a bit flat.

Ryan Reynolds was his usual self but needed some support from his fellow cast. Blake Lively looked gorgeous and that was about it.

Highlight of the film - the Abin Sur scene and Sinestro.
