Your idea about taking him out of the "aura" of the house definatly works, but I still dont like it. The original was borderline reality, as opposed to 100% supernatural. Despite everything that happened, it was completly possible that it was all in Brolin's head: as Ive said before, it was a more human story. Shown to perfection in the "Im coming apart!" scene in the original, one of my all-time favourite horror scenes.


I agree the babysitter was a "knockout" in my opinion, but by Hollywood standards she was. It's obvious that it was comic relief, but it was still totally out of place in the film.

I can definately see what you mean, here. Yeah, maybe I can appreciate it a little more when looking at it like that, rather then as a ghost house. :)

I might even have to rewatch it this weekend.

I'm new here, and I hope it's ok to post here, with it being so many pages in...If not, feel free to delete this. *LOL*

Last movies I've seen:
Hostel
High Tension (Haute Tension)
and
Last Holiday

I was impressed with the first two, and didn't expect much of the last one. It was more or less a palate cleanser until my next batch of horror movies come in from Netflix.

Best in Show, I swear my GF hates me. Ok, it wasn't that bad, just slow. And off topic I can hear my upstairs neighbor snoring really loud right now.

not sure ... lets just say i didnt 'buy it' and i havent watched it yet :D

I saw -Sames lot
- the sineater (very very boring)
- alone in the dark (weird)
- hellraiser: hellworld (the movie doesn't belong to hellraiser anymore, even I could have made a much better movie for the series than this one)
- Doom again
and at the movies - Silent hill which had great effects

Oh yes I forgot the cave, also a weird movie

The Driller Killer


I'm not really sure what I thought of this. A strange film, that goes without saying, but did I like it? Ferrara does a good job on both sides of the camera, but his acting really grabbed me. Essentially this is more of a character study than a horror film, and Ferrara's performance was very convincing and believable. I liked the score, fit very well with the dark, depressing feel of the film. This is without question a very depressing film, I found myself feeling sorry for the main character. His decent into madness was brilliantly captured, carried by Ferrara's performance. By the time we actually got to them, the "Driller Killer" scenes almost looked out of place. They were very well done however, the attitude he had toward killing was very distressing and well portrayed. It wasn't very well paced though, I checked my watch lot more often than I should have. All in all this is a dark and depressing film, but Ferrara's performance makes it worth watching. One word of warning: Don't go in to it looking for a gorefest. Though there are a few very good gory moments, that's not what the film is about.

6/10

Turtles Can Fly 10 / 10

The Last Holiday (2006)- 3.5/5

The Longest Yard (2005)- 3/5

My family JUST watched this and told me I should check it out because it was pretty funny. I wrote it off as crazy talk because it stars Queen Latifa but it really wasn't bad eh?
