Liked (Hope I don't sound too stupid!):
(1) The Village - A really fine film. I can only think the reason so many disliked this film is it's not quite what you expect, not really horror. The love story was quite touching and the acting was great.
(2) Children of the Corn - The first one was original and kinda creepy when I was a kid. The sequels are complete garbage though.
(3) Boggeyman - Not a bad film. Again, the problem with most of you was having high expectations this would be an AMAZING horror film. Not amazing, but enjoyed sitting through it
Disliked: (Oh gosh, please don't hurt me!)
(1) Frailty (uh oh, I'm in trouble) - A film that I didn't mind sitting through once, but definitely not something I'd revisit. Surprising to hear so many talk it up.
(2) Land of the Dead (digging my self a deeper grave) - This is one of those films EVERYONE wanted to be awesome, but I can come to grips with reality. Not very good at all. The Dawn remake blew this away.
(3) Dog Soldiers (I'm dead, I know it) - LOL. Slightly better than other werewolf crap like Howling and Silver Bullet, but definitely not the Oscar-quality film almost everyone here seems to think.
and one more just for kicks:
(4) Halloween - Alot of people just love the original. Again, I think it has to do with love of a director. But this movie never really impressed me, or scared me. The original Nigthmare on Elm Street was far better. (Going to buy a cemetery plot right now!)
