No that does help. I probably wont get either Resident Evil but who knows. Apocalypse is in the 2 for $12 bin at Blockbuster. The RE games always had badass storylines so I figured the movies would to

resident evil 1 truely did feel like a game which is why i didnt mind it.
it was too bloodless for a zombie movie .. but it was still ok.

part 2 was total shit - despite it being shot where i live ..
it was so bad that even that didnt make it interesting

Thats Memento Mori... looks promising.

Thanks for the reviews. For anyone else, you don't have to review every single movie, just whatever you want to do is appreciated.

And The Haunting is the old version.. I know the new one is horrible

I have the Haunting (original) on DVD in my collection... Its not scary unless sounds of banging scare ya. Overrated! You should definitely start with horror gems like "The Shining" before you start picking up the modern horror movies. For some ideas, check out my horror dvd collection in my signature.

Yeeeah, I have the shining and the exorcist. As far as other classics, well.. I thought they were on my list?

Is the Haunting just a bunch of noises and really not worth a purchase?
