Session 9? A "found footage" movie?

I don't think so.

Yeah...if Dara is talking about this Session 9, then there is no way to consider it as a found footage film (unless there's a found footage version of it available/shown somewhere!); but a great psychological-horror, no doubt. Loved it too.

First off i have to say that this is the best use of the found footage concept i've ever seen. The camera work, editing, acting and dialogue are all very amateurish which actually makes it feel like you're watching found footage instead of just a movie made in that style.

That being said, the stories could've been better. Obviously having five short movies plus the arc surrounding the whole thing doesn't give you much time but all the stories are way too short, way too quick and nothing is ever explained enough. Every story left me wondering what the hell just happened.

Some were better then others. The first wasn't bad and was a good one to start off. The second was boring. The third was interesting enough that i would've liked to see it as a full length movie. The fourth was weird and didn't make sense and the fifth was easily the best.

The story of the guys finding the v/h/s tapes ends really abruptly and like the other stories isn't explained enough.

But i enjoyed it. It's just not as great as some people are making it out to be. I can see some people liking it, other's hating it but no one loving it.
Pretty much agree with you but I have a mixed bag feelings about it. Surely it had quite a potential as a well treated found footage flick, particularly Tape 56, the main arc or central story had a [REC.] like flavor most of the part but sadly ended in a bit typical, unclear & unsatisfying way. Yeah...the 1st story was nothing spectacular but found it okay. 2nd one was really boring as well as disappointing considering it made by promising, new genre film maker Ti West. 3rd one...Tuesday the 17th had a common premise of a slasher but the "killer's" issue with the way of appearing in front of the camera kinda annoyed me.
And totally agree with about the 4th one...I didn't get it all! I really thought & wanted to like it as there are some fine creepy moments but that really freaking weird finale didn't make any sense to me. And yeah...last one was the best in the bunch, pretty entertaining.

So for the merits, flaws & surprise elements part, I won't like to give it a good recommendation but definitely it's worth a watch for the genre fans.

I agree. Never thought of it as "found footage". How do you figure?

I didn't think Session 9 was found footage either. I fell asleep on it. Maybe I was tired that day. That cancelled found footage/live action TV show was pretty good. It was called "The River" I believe.

Well. Technically there IS found footage in the movie (e.g. they DID find the interview tapes). ;)

Juan of the Dead (2011)

A resounding MEH from both the boyfriend and I. Pretty average zombedy. Interesting that it incorporated Cuba politics, and I appreciate the zombie vs. shark nod, but nothing else really stood out to me. I tuned out about halfway through.

2.5/5

Watched this myself a while back, forgot I'd even seen it....I thought there were maybe two amusing scenes in the whole film, the rest of the movie was suprisingly boring.

Glad to hear someone agrees with us - I was wondering about all of the positive reviews.

I found it booooooooring too.

Maybe because of the low budget, direct-to-video kind of filming of the film conveyed that idea to viewers. It does give off that kind of feeling, come to think of it.

Angra 09-19-2012 09:22 AM
Aren't all found footage movies shot with a hand-held camera? Session 9 definitely wasn't.

swiss tony 09-19-2012 02:19 PM
The Grey - 7/10

I was expecting a survival movie in the same spirit as the The Way Back but I was way off. This is definitely a full blooded, claustrophobic, nerve shredding horror. There's a tasteful smattering of gore/unpleasantness which is about right for my tastes. This movie builds to a crescendo after dragging you to breaking point.

Also, it doesn't hurt that the protagonist is the badass, favourite thespian son of Ulster, Liam Neeson. ENJOY!!!

If anything, it's a 'found audio' movie but lets not quibble. It is a very good movie and the performance from Peter Mullan is exceptional but then it always is. Check out his deeply unsettling but awesome delivery in the Red Riding series.

Watched "Snow White And The Huntsman" last night.

Wasn't really sure what to expect. I didn't think it was a bad movie. I thought some of the effects were really good. But, I just couldn't keep wondering to myself how Kristen Stewart is the "fairest" of them all? I would take Charlize Theron over Stewart any day of the week.

Started it to keep the baby engaged till bed time, and found myself watching it through till the end.
More than a decent sequel, interspersed with a couple of notable cringe-worthy scenes, and a superbly sadistic character in Rusty Nail.
And Nicki Aycox had me hooked...what a stunner! Check this out -

Overall, it gets my recommendation for a late night watch. And if you have teared yourself away from the picture above by now, interested yet? ;)

Some of those broad shots of the entire facility were actually hand held footage the demon did when flying around. It's all a true story.

I tend to watch almost anything with Nicki Aycox in it. She's hot and a pretty good actress. There is another good Maxim image from that photo shoot. I haven't seen Joy Ride 2 yet. It's on my list. But she's been in a bunch of horror things: Jeepers Creepers 2, Supernatural TV, and X-Files 2 which could be seen as horror the movie was so bad.


Species – The Awakening

I never really liked the Species series. Giger's designs were better used in Alien and Aliens. I barely remember the first two movies. I don't think I watched the third one. I only remember them for Natasha Henstridge. Although, The Secret Circle is probably the best show she's been in. I watched Species - The Awakening because I saw Helena Mattsson in the credits. She is pretty good in Nikita. But the movie is a mess. It took me three days to get through it. If I knew it was a Sci-Fi movie I would have passed. The cinematography is ok showing a seedy Mexican town. The actresses are pretty. But there's no real horror or substance here.

Have seen her in Dead Birds, JC 2 & X-Files 2. Need to catch more of her.

My love for taut, edgy action thrillers just keeps on growing. Runaway Train is still the best, though.

I know I'm in the minority but I totally have a girl boner for Kristen Stewart. Probably after seeing her as Joan Jett in The Runaways... :o

Nice...lol. I have to go listen to Cherry Bomb now.

ChronoGrl 09-20-2012 04:43 PM
YES




BTW, Runaways was a really well-done biopic (recommended!!!) and I love the documentary as well (though Joan isn't in it unfortunately).

L'anticristo/The Antichrist (1974)
Directed by Alberto De Martino (Holocaust 2000) and starring Alida Valli (Lisa and The Devil and The House Of Exorcism) and Anita Strindberg (the Killer Nun) this possession type horror was undeniably controversial at the time but does inevitably draw comparisons to The Exorcist. However unlike The House Of Exorcism which was just a reinterpretation of Bava's Lisa and The Devil to cash in on The Exorcist's infamy this film does actually stand well on its own merits. It makes up for it's lack of originality with some pretty inventive scenes for its time. Granted it's more comical than offensive nowadays but I was very impressed with the scenes of past-life regression and mentalist characters. Worth watching.

I thought she was amazing it that - liked her in Adventureland too.

Really liked this - great adaptation and Dredd portrayed the way he should. Anyone who disagrees gets 20 in an isocube.

Resident Evil: Retribution 8/10


I highly recommend it! I actually really enjoyed this one, it's my new favorite in the series. Very unrealistic action, but very entertaining. I recommend seeing it in 3d

Interesting little early 80s anthology, with Christina Raines, Emilio Estevez, Lance Henriksen & Veronica Cartwright headlining the 4 segments in the film.
Specially liked the Lance Henriksen segment, which had shades of Duel in it.
Recommended to all fans of horror anthologies, if you can find this one.

You are soooo gay...


Still waiting/hoping for a remake of this franchise.

Thought the story in this one was incredibly confusing. And i can't stand the "superhero" action.

That being said, it's one of the better RE movies.

Did Urban do justice to the comic-book version of Dredd?

How much is the action quotient in this one?

Yes he did - he must of had face ache for months trying to hold that grimace. Helmet stays on for the entire film. Very Action heavy - small setup then its all Judges vs Baddies (in similar circumstances to The Raid).

The Uniforms look great and the Lawgivers were fantastic. Not sure about the bikes and MegaCity One is as grim as fuck. I don't think the MegaCity of the comic would have suited the tone of the film as much.

3d isn't bad either.

Bring on the Sequel (with Judge Cal maybe)

Fantastic. Looks like this one has stayed very faithful to the comicbook storylines, unlike the Stallone vehicle which took out all the punch from Judge Dredd.

Thanks for the heads up, Ferox! Eagerly waiting now for it to release at a theater near me.
