It's about 3 brothers, there was a CI Australia episode on the Anita Cobey abduction, this movie is loosely based on that story. Though the writer says it was written before then.

Pet cemetery is the last one I saw. I liked the novel better though, it was quite decent.

No, she was a nurse, it happened in western Sydney, where this movie is set.

Bloody Sabbath - Funny ass movie

Candyman
I havent seen this since i was a kid when it used to really freak me out. It didnt scare me this time around but i was able to appreciate the story better. Tony Todd is still creepy as hell though and Candyman is still an iconic villain.

Chernobyl Diaries
Eh....I was expecting more from this. It wasn't terrible and i didnt hate it but i was disappointed. The style is like Found Footage without the gimmick of it actually being found footage so it just looked weird. The acting was bad and it wasn't scary at all. There's a really bad shaky cam scene and the ending was kinda silly. You never get a good look at the creatures and you never see anyone die, they're just pulled off scene. Ultimately i didn't hate it but i was hoping for better.

Men In Black 3

Not as good as the first but way better then the second.

Does it have to be horror?

I watched Kronks New Groove.
NOT as funny as Emperor's New Groove.

No, it can be any movie.

Trick 'r Treat- I was expecting this to be a lot worse than it really was. I know that some people won't agree with me, but I actually thought this was pretty good. At first I thought it was going to be cliché and was a bit turned off by that but I felt that it delivered enough originality. It's a few different stories blended into one which I liked.

"The Last Sunset" (1961)
-Kirk Douglas, Rock Hudson

Plot: IMDB
Brendan O'Malley arrives at the Mexican home of old flame Belle Breckenridge to find her married to a drunkard getting ready for a cattle drive to Texas. Hot on O'Malley's heels is lawman Dana Stribling who has a personal reason for getting him back into his jurisdiction. Both men join Breckenridge and his wife on the drive. As they near Texas tensions mount, not least because Stribling is starting to court Belle and O'Malley is increasingly drawn by her daughter Missy.
Phantom's Review: Entertaining, but somewhat soap opera-ish western film. The acting is very good and the story is decently written. The action is good, when they get to it. Mostly this is a character driven film. Definitely worth a viewing if your a fan of the genre.

Tucker and Dale vs Evil
I thought it was pretty good, there were a lot of good jokes in it. I recommend it!
By the way, the trailer for this film spoils pretty much every kill in the movie...

Glad to hear someone else did, as well! I was expecting people to disagree with me because it wasn't highly rated online or on Netflix, but then again, I guess a lot of people reviewing horror online don't know much about it (maybe that was pretentious of me).

I liked Trick R Treat a lot. Trick or Treat on the otherhand was a terrible movie.

I looked it up on Netflix instant but they don't have it. I'll look for it online because now I'm curious. Is this the right movie? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trick_or_Treat_(1986_film)

tommywikkid 05-28-2012 09:42 PM

Trick Or Treat (1986) is AWESOME!! If you like metal and cheesy 80s horror then you'll dig it.

I think they were referring to a more recent film, Trick 'r Treat, which came out in 2008:

That's what we started talking about but someone mentioned that, as opposed to Trick 'r Treat, which was good, Trick or Treat was terrible.

Satan's Little Helper (2004)- I don't really know whether or not I enjoyed this film. I did laugh a lot during it, but the acting was really, really terrible. It also featured one of the most stupid and annoying children I've ever seen in a horror movie- I just wanted to beat him to death throughout the whole ordeal.

Rammbock: Berlin Undead (2010)- I liked this. It was one of the more realistic zombie movies that I've seen. By realistic, I mean the reactions that people had, the actions they took, the plot, the setting, the dialogue, and the pace were more believable. If you like a lot of guns and action in your zombie movies then you might not like this one.

Ils/Them (2006)- I thought this one was okay. It was a bit boring at times but if you really like suspenseful films with little to no gore, you'd probably like this one. I'd like to watch this one again when I'm not so tired.

I tend to not base my movie opinions on the related reproductive organs of the actors.

ImmortalSlasher 05-29-2012 11:05 AM

The Attic.

This movie is the perfect example of having a bad director or people in charge that have no clue what they are doing. The movie starts off on a good horror note with a bathtub scene featuring Alexandra Daddario. She's going to be in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D. Also, I still haven't seen Bereavement yet but I want to just from one of her promo photos. Anyway, it's a pretty good haunted house moment.

Then things start going downhill. We get a new family and so many plot lines that it seems like the movie was made by different people. The parents have to be borderline incompetent to allow what happens. There is a scene that seems completely out of continuity and I can't believe it was even in the movie. Add in a twist ending that makes no sense and you get a movie with a good idea that is ruined by a lack of clear direction. The actors are not at fault for this mess as they probably did the best they could with a bad script.

One of the best moments in the movie is some horrible dialog at the end. Yet another new family arrives at the house. When a pretty blonde girl is freaked out, she says "maybe it was an Indian burial ground."

The Strange and Deadly Occurrence (1974)
A family moves into a new home in an isolated area, and soon
realizes that someone--or something--doesn't want them there.

4/10 meh I don't know why it had a 6.1 on IMDB.
It was more drama then scary.

Did you want to kill that stupid child throughout the whole thing, too?

I would like a copy of the mask, though. That was pretty cool.

I Am Legend
10/10 ... I will always love this move.
Will Smith does some great acting in this.
I watch this movie at least 1 to 2 x a year.

Chernobyl Diaries
 
Got sucked into this one by some friends. Better than I thought it would be. Had some scary moments. All that being said, I'd wait for it on DVD.

Question: why do we assume that anyone/anything exposed to radiation is automatically evil?

Because generally if we don't understand something, we're afraid of it. It's easy to play on those fears.

Was it really not that bad? I've heard terrible reviews about it.

"Men in black 3" 6/10

I have to disagree.

The third is by far the worst of the three. Lacks in funny moments and mindfucks.

cheebacheeba 05-29-2012 05:57 PM

Then maybe you should stop talking shit about peoples preferences if you're incapable of taking the same kind of judgement you pass out.
Just an idea.

That said, the last movie I watched was "Wrong Turn 4".
I think these sequels have all been pretty crappy.
The second one was ok, but really none of them have remotely lived up to the first one.
I suppose the "origin" kind've storyline was alright...but I have nothing good to say about this.

I don't argue. And it was a Legitimate question about what movie you
would give a 10/10
