Fear(s) of the Dark is on the In Theaters section of Sundance... it looks amazing but I don't know about spending 7 bucks on it because I'll later be buying it.

That's EXACTLY how I feel about it. LOVE the concept, but I'm not sure if it's worth spending the money.

Anyone else seen this yet? Is it worth the money?

That doll was creepier & scarier than Chucky ever was.

I answered your pm, btw.

I completely agree. And that folly work is enough to make you cringe. :eek:

And I answered YOU, btw. :D

No it isn't. Penny Dreadful was a pathetic little movie. The main character was a whiney little bitch who was impossible to like. Her therapist was the worst therapist EVER. The rest of the characters were expendible- literally. There were no surprizes in the plot. It followed formula completely. Writing was banal. Production valuyes and treatment were about on the level of a Lifetime movie.

This is one of the worst movies I've seen in a while.

I liked Penny Dreadful. :( I think that I went in with really low expectations and it exceeded them. It was a little gem.

...

There's actually a bunch of fantastic movies now on Sundance On Demand...

One's I've Seen (and recommend)

• Oldboy (for whomever hasn't seen this film, it's an iconic Asian horror must)
• The Friedmans - Fascinating and creepy documentary about a father and son who were accused of child abuse in a fairly disputed case. The documentary tries to take a neutral look, showing both testimony for and against the parents. Pretty dark and awful content, but a really interesting film.
• Wristcutters: A Love Story - I hate the title of this movie. Obviously trying to be controversial, this is just an eccentric look of the afterlife for suicides; a strange little love story with Patrick Fugit and the ridiculously hot Shannyn Sossamon. Also with Tom Waits and has a killer soundtrack

Ones that I really want to see

• Assassination of Richard Nixon
• Murderball - Documentary of a paraplegic rugby team
• Right At Your Door - Horror movie of panic taking over LA after a dirty bomb is dropped.

Right at Your Door is great. I saw it a few months back and reviewed it then.


Penny Dreadful was nothing but dreadful. :(

Thats a great little movie. Sean Penn is brilliant in it, and the script is really well done. Check it out for sure.

Agree.
I haven't seen Dark Ride, Reincarnation & Unrest of After Dark Horrorfest 2006 but others from the same festival were some poor horror films indeed except The Abandoned...that was a good effort.

Reincarnation sounds quite good. Added to the wish list.:)

Good to know; I was skeptical at first as I was concerned that it would have a xenophobic inflated anti-terrorist agenda (with the vehicle of the dirty bomb being dropped).

As long as it truly focuses on panic and human horror, I think it should make a good film. We'll have to check it out sometime this weekend.
