It's Alive is great. Have you seen the remake? That focuses more on the baby. I think i prefer the original though.

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2011)

One of the best parts that I like in the 1973 original film was its cute little creatures & they were surprisingly adorable. The film was beautifully spooky and one of the best 'made-for-TV' horror films of 70's, IMO. So, in this meaningless remake, the first thing that upset me most was when I found that the creatures got an entirely new look this time & they're somewhat looks like rats! Moreover, they got too much exposure, even there are some moments when they don't even that much bother about the lights; where one of the significant things about the creatures in the original film was they were creatures of the dark...that lives & move around in the dark. Next, their spooky whispering voices aren't that much clear here which they very nicely handled in the original film. And finally, I don't get why nobody made a minimal attempt to save the person that the creatures took away in the final showdown, while he/she was right in front of them & for some good amount of time remained stuck in a pretty unusual place before the creatures do their job.

The original film is also a favorite film of world wide acclaimed film maker Guillermo del Toro who even said "It was something close to my heart for a very long time, We thought the movie was the most terrifying on Earth." So I don’t get if he admire the original film so much then what made him to get involved in this remake where he not only produced it but also co-wrote the screenplay. If it was for money, then I like to say he has done a contradictory thing as being a good fan of the original or if he was thinking to save it from a bad or ridiculous 'remake' treatment then I'd say he succeed 50%...means with a good cast, setting & camera work this is a decent horror film pleasantly suitable for the very young horror fans and surely who haven't seen the original film yet.

Forget Me Not

The character introduction was a mess. The characters themselves were generic and the acting was wooden. There was absolutely no tension at all and it was pretty boring. I liked the concept of how the game began to happen in real life and that after the characters died, everyone but the main character would forget about them but they didn't develop it well enough. There's nothing special about this movie at all and i wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

This has been in instaque and I've debated on checking it out. I think I'll skip it now, lol! :D

Glad i could help you out

Like zombiedrone said I weren't really sure what to make of it-the spooky fx n soundtrack were very good and I did enjoy watching it but I wouldn't say it was a standout film-not seen the remake.

Just saw Alice, sweet alice aka Communion (1976) which I did enjoy much more than I expected although the "fatso" landlord with the piss stain around his fly will haunt me forever.

Also "Fright" (1971) I'm afraid its another film with an OTT hammy and cheesily unrealistic killer that its impossible to find in any way menacing-nearly switched it off with boredom towards the end. Not worth recommending

Drive (2011)

Though there is nothing new if you consider the basic plot of the film but the execution was good...a slow burn heist action-drama with a good cast & quite a 'cool' performance from the lead.

I watched some crappy movie called "savage county" last night. It had a little blood in it but not enough. I also watched "Laid to Rest" 2 Friday night, its okay but the story has me confused. It had tons of gore in it, thats about all I like about it.

Ive gotta watch "Hesher". My girl and i were going to rent it this week but she seemed disinterested so we got laid to rest 2 instead. I think id like Hesher more
