I loved Eden Lake - sure it has a lot of flaws but Chavs as the villians in a Brit Horror film is great. THe illogical main characters were a bit off putting though I would hessitate to say that most people wouldn't be intimidated by those bunch of kids. Its a kinda lose/lose situation - you back down and look like a coward or you stand up and go to court for assault on a minor.....
Another great recent Brit horror film is MUM & DAD - its an English version of the American Gothic horror but this time the Murderous disfuctional family live in the English 'Burbs. |

I keep forgetting to check out Mum & Dad seems to be a flick people either love or hate. The real life case sounds twisted as fuck.

Midnight Meat Train was really great, saw that a while ago too. The only thing that ruined it for me was seeing Vinnie Jones as the killer. I know he's a tough guy in real life but I never pictured him playing a physcopath killer, more like a dept collector or something less incriminating. Anyway thanks for the all the recs. Going to watch Eles at some point. I'll set my standards pretty low so I won't be disappointed. |

Have you checked out Mordum yet? I'm pretty desensitized to most shit but a couple of scenes were eye openers.

No I havn't seen that one either. Thanks, adding it to the list! I also watched The Audition last night and actually enjoyed it, although the ending was a bit of a cop out for me. Girl starts going to town on this guy then something happens to put an end to it before the good stuff can begin. That makes me sound like some gore-fiend which I'm really not but if you're going to do a torture scene, do it properly.
Wait are you talking about August Underground Mordum? If so yeah I've seen that. It was strange. |

Yeh that's the one I was talking about. I've had Philosophy Of A Knife sitting here for ages too but haven't got round to watching it. People say thats pretty unsettling but we'll see.

I was up on an allniter with the GF and I watched Philosophy Of A Knife - Aftermath - Grimlove and some other sicko all in a row. They are all a complete blur in my mind..

We'll have to agree to disagree on Eden Lake - I would have just left and I don't think that their actions were particularly justified. Then again, it could have been that I know as a viewer that I'm watching all of this unfold in the context of a horror movie, so any retaliation would have serious consequences in that environment. Didn't really care for Frontier(s) either. I thought that it was a bit disjointed. Tried to pull in Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Hostel, but ultimately failed for me. I'm surprised that you didn't care for Ils, though I think I recall you talking about that before. I thought that it was an incredibly well-done suspenseful film. I agree with you guys on Midnight Meat Train - Definitely overlooked and a nice gory flick. Still haven't seen Martyrs. Will have to check that one out. Quote:
You liking The Audition makes me want to recommend a short film to you. There's a collection of three short Asian horror films called Three... Extremes. The second film is directed by Chan-Wook Park, Korean directof of Oldboy - It's brilliant and I think has the sort of roughness to it that you're looking for. The other two short films are great, but might not be what you're looking for right now (the third film, "The Box" is another Miike film). Have you seen any of the Cube movies? |

And I totally agree about Eden Lake. And its not just because I know I am watching a horror movie. Their actions were, in my opinion, ridiculous. And its because of the more realistic feel of the film that makes it impossible for me to give a damn about them after they do something so stupid (you already mentioned the scene I am talking about in your spoiler warning), and once I lose sympathy for the characters, I'm done. Same thing happened with The Strangers. I lost sympathy for the characters as soon as they started making the same mistakes that the characters in the campier horror movies make, they lost me. I didn't "believe" it, and I didn't believe Eden Lake. And for it to work for me, I have to. Midnight Meat Train was a hell of a lot of fun, I really enjoyed it. And [REC] is excellent. |

I'm not completely new to horror at all I'm looking for more obscure, lesser-known horror films that don't shy away from being completely brutal, if you know what I mean. Last edited by Scythus; 07-29-2009 at 01:26 AM. |
