2006 was a pretty lame year of horror from what I've seen thus far. There's still a few that look good that I haven't seen yet so all hope is not lost, but so far I've been disappointed.
Have not seen yet
Black Christmas (Remake) - Havent seen yet, loved the original.
Black Dahlia - Havent seen yet, but I'm a big Josh Hartnett supporter (Go Minnesota!)
Night Watch 2 - Havent seen yet, but the 1st one was pretty rad.
Grudge 2 - Havent seen yet. I HATED the first one so I've been putting it off.
The Omen (Remake) - I never even really liked the original so I was in no hurry to see this. I'll get around to it eventually.
Saw 3- I missed it in theatres, but I've got it lined up at the top of my Netflix queue for when it comes out on DVD in a few weeks.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning -Havent seen yet. I made plans to go see it twice and they fell through both times. Now it's lined up with Saw 3 at the top of my Netflix list.
Turistas - I heard it hyped, then it released and I never heard another word about it. Anyone seen it?
The Wicker Man (Remake) - I'll rent it but being that I wasn't a very big fan of the original, I haven't been in any rush.
The Woods - This is in my Netflix lineup too. I'm expecting it to be great.
have seen
Final Destination 3 - It was alright, but nothing groundbreaking or original. Some bad CGI in the opening disaster brought it down as well.
Hills Have Eyes (Remake) - This was pretty good. I liked the abundance of gore, but Aja really didn't do anything new with the film and stuck prettymuch to the script of the original as far as I could tell.
Rest Stop - I saw this on Sci-Fi before I ever knew it existed or saw in the video stores. I'm still not 100% sure the movie I saw on Sci-Fi was the same film as this though. If it is, then it was decent but not great.
Scary Movie 4 - This was actually better than parts 2 or 3 in my opinion. They ditched the unfunny Wayans brothers and ended up with a pretty funny film.
See No Evil - This was pretty cool. Straightforward, violent and non-comedic.
The Descent - I thought this was too dimly lit & somewhat over-rated. It wasn't bad, but I just didn't think it was great as it was made out to be.
Silent Hill - I never played the game before so I found this movie to be somewhat confusing. It was good until the ending, then I was just like "What the fuck is going on here?" I still haven't figured it out.
Slither - This was pretty decent. Not at all what I expected, but pretty entertaining nonetheless.
Snakes on a Plane - I was somewhat disappointed by this one.
Stay Alive - Better than I was expecting from a PG-13 horror movie starring Malcolm (in the Middle). I was actually entertained by it.
When a Stranger Calls - Just like the original, this movie was fuckin' lame.
Underworld: Evolution - I liked the 1st one more, but this was a pretty cool follow up.
So just based on the films I've seen, here's my top 10. (I'm sure after I see a few of the ones I haven't seen yet, my list will shift.)
1- Hills Have Eyes (Remake)
2- See No Evil
3- Underworld: Evolution
4- The Descent
5- Slither
6- Scary Movie 4
7- Silent Hill
8- Final Destination 3
9- Snakes on a Plane
10- Stay Alive
Like I said though, that is very prone to change. After I see them, I fully expect Saw 3, TCM, The Woods and maybe even Black Christmas & Turistas to make it on to the list somewhere.
