Like most, I tend to do the research first, via HDC, the IMDb, books by Chas. Balun and word of mouth. I almost NEVER follow the "professional" film critics thumbs ups or downs as I rarely agree with them. I will often do impulse buys (I rarely rent, just a few more bucks and you can own it) but when I do, I look for directors, writers, actors, and labels that have been noted as "a good bet" although I still end up buying the occasional turd, But I like "B" movies as well as the multi-million dollar films anyway.

If something gets buzz around here I'll check it out.

I look at the director,actors,studio and if I don't reconize any of those I read the summary on the back.

With movies you actually can judge by the cover,not all the time but a good bit of the time.

I read alot of reviews and see what people i know like before i rent someone. I chose randomly once ith a film called 'The revenge of the scarecrow 2'. It was comedy, basically.

Id still buy it though, just for the comedy factor, i mean, scarecrows, they cant swim.......and drive....

I go horror movie shopping every week.
Even sometimes twice a week.

:)
I pick up ATLEAST one movie.
The way I do it is I search on IMDB a bunch of horror films I like and which sound good, and I go out and look for anyone from my list! ;)

Simple.

I just grab a movie I didn't see yet, so then I haven't got many choice cause I've seen every horror they have except the new ones, and I look if there are bloody pics on the back, i guess ya have to see everything at least once, otherwise ya might miss a great movie.

The user made lists on Amazon have been very helpful to me. If I see someone on here that sounds interesting I'll check out the reviews on amazon and IMDB. A perfect example of doing that is Dead Birds. I heard everyone raving about it here, did some research at amazon, bought it, and loved it.
