Box of Horror
 
So, a lady i work with gave me a box of movies last night. She knows i'm into horror and had some dvd's that she thought i might like to check out. They are mine to keep and i was hoping for some opinions before i watch any of them (just so i can watch the better ones first). A few are not really horror but more thrillers.

Here they are:

They
Frontier(s)
The Abandoned
Premonition
Decoys
Neighbor
Silent Hill
7 Days to Live
Swimfan
Bloodwork
Abandon
Christina's house


I'm thinking a few of these might turn out to be makeshift coasters. But, i'll give em a try anyway.

Let me know what ya think!

I thought Frontier(s) was really good. I recommend that.

I think it might turn out to be the Sandra one.

Avoid Christina's House like the plague. I got a copy in my first box of review stuff for Withersin. I'm not comfortable letting more people know this movie exists. Even if I just did here. But fear it like you would fear death or a porno starring Oprah and Ernest Borgnine.

Ugh! I think i just threw up in my mouth a little.

Not sure about Premonition. It came in a clear cd case.

hitman3005 10-02-2009 09:20 AM

It's the Bullock one.

They gets a lot of shit...I find it's one of those love-it-or-hate it movies. Haven't seen it in a few years, but I really enjoyed it at the time.

Silent Hill is, as far as I'm concerned, is a modern horror masterpiece. Never played the games, so I can't say if it's faithful or not (though I've heard good things), but it has some great atmosphere and a really cool plot.

Don't believe I've seen the rest.

neverending 10-02-2009 02:14 PM

I never played the games either, and I found Silent Hill to be pretty silly.

Wasn't my cup of tea, I guess.

The Mothman 10-02-2009 02:33 PM

Ive only seen Bloodwork and Silent Hill, which i think I need to see again because everyone always says its so great, although when I saw it I absolutely hated it. Bloodwork was kinda weak too.

Elvis_Christ 10-05-2009 10:32 PM

So Silent Hill is great?!

I've always avoided it because I thought it would be a turd. Might give it a hire sometime.

Clockwork Black 10-06-2009 05:41 PM

Same here.
Ive had a bad taste in my mouth for horror movies that are based on horror games since House of the Dead. Doom and Resident Evil didnt help this any.

Might have to check this out though.
