The Pit
 This movie had an interesting premise which is what drew me to it but ultimately it's boring, complicated and at times goofy. The old lady in the wheelchair scene was hilarious but i dont think it was supposed to be. The kid was supposed to come off as disturbed and creepy but he just seemed like a perverted weirdo. The Trogs were ok but nothing memorable. The ending was a nice touch but they just threw it at you instead of building towards what could've been a nice ironic twist. I think this movie could benefit from a gritty remake. Make the kid more of an obvious loner, show him finding the hole and don't have the movie show the teddy bear speak back to him. This way you're not sure if he's really crazy or not and cut out all the obvious perverted crap. They can keep the love interest with the babysitter though, just do it better.

I've found, though, for the folks who didn't grow up with The Muppets, they didn't enjoy it (at least the few I spoke too)... It 's a pity because, really, how could that movie NOT make you happy? I think it would melt even Angra's icy heart... ;)

 Found footage films are dime-a-dozen these days, but there are some which truly stand out from the rest in this particular new fascination of horror filmmakers. Grave Encounters is one such film, which is a nice little ride through the spooks inside a closed psychiatric hospital. Loosely inspired by the tale of The House on Haunted Hill (specially the 1999 remake, you will find more than one instance of connections between the two films), it is another low budget effort which shines brightly as a fine example of found-footage filmmaking. Starting off a bit slowly for the first 25-odd minutes, it suddenly comes to life with the televising crew starting to experience the usual groans and bumps in the pitch black darkness after they are locked in for the night. What comes next are a series of turns which make this film novel, and lead to an ending which can be seen coming (hence not entirely unexpected) but leaving a question mark on it's own. The direction is taut - it could have been slightly better but does pretty damn good with the plotline and the atmosphere. The characters are varied and very believable (unlike the two Quarantine films which I watched recently), and the cinematography (combining normal camerawork with nightvision sequences) is superb in conveying the bleak, eeriely silent atmosphere of the closed-down hospital. The spooks are nicely merged with the mental breakdown of the crew, as one by one they succumb to the horrors of the place they have found. All in all, a solid little film which impresses a lot, given the fact that this may have been made on a budget. Definitely watch this one if you are a lover of PA, [*Rec], etc. * * * ½
