The Host (2006)

Korean horror/scifi/comedy that has Scott Wilson (The Walking Dead) in the beginning. I love this movie.

The House of the Devil

Was rather disappointed by this. I was reading that it would combine elements of slasher and haunted house movies of the 80's, so I was actually expecting a mix between Friday the 13th and Amityville Horror with a Slasher typical high body count (actual bodycount is 1) and some spooks in the house (actually it's not haunted at all) so yeah...film was over very first, liked the attic scene though, but other than that, there was not much going on here.

5/10

The Woman

Now this one was entertaining, about a guy who is capturing a wild woman in the forest, bringing her to his home to "civilize" her...I loved the acting in this movie, and the progression of characters.

7,5/10

I thought it was alright. 5/10 for me sounds right. I think it wasn't about having a plot like 80's horror films, but the style of them in the colors, the way it was shot, etc.

Not horror's but:

Hunt for the Wilderpeople - I really liked this film, Sam Neill has always been a favourite of mine and I loved his grumpy old bushman character. Great performances across the board and quality storytelling (even if it does get silly in places). Highly recommended.

Swiss Army Man - Not sure how I feel about this one, I nearly gave up after half an hour but persevered (glad I did in hindsight). Definitely original and two very watchable performances from Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano but in the end I just didn't get what it was trying to say. Think Cast Away meets Weekend at Bernies but on a shitlload of drugs and you're halfway there.

I'm waiting to watch this with someone. It doesn't seem like a film to watch alone.

Go into it accepting that you will say 'What the fuck am I watching' at least half a dozen times.

Good film, the opening attack sequence is excellent.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople is an absolute gem of a coming-of-age adventure-comdedy, IMO! Loved it too. Taika Waititi is becoming a director to watch out for in coming days...very much looking forward to see how much fun & exciting THOR: RAGNAROK would be in his hands.

Haven't seen S.A.M yet but I've also heard about its ambiguous ending and that farting corpse thing ::big grin::

Extratorrents. Nothing great, quite average slasher.
