suck.




The Descent sucked, btw..




Gremlins = GHMOAT

I thought The Descent sucked too. Actually, it wasn't terrible but it didn't come close to living up to the hype I'd heard about it. I just thought it was kinda boring.

Accurate interpretation.

Isn't there supposed to be a movie coming out about killer sheep?  I swear I saw that online some where but am too lazy to search youtube right now.

Edit: found it

The descent was slow and it took too damn long for someone to die, but hey in the end everyone died.
I personally enjoy the Freddy Kruger movies because he's a pretty comical guy. When I first saw, when I was like 10 I stayed up for most of the night, afraid Freddy would murder me in my sleep.
The first Hostel was a pretty good one, though I don't think it was as good as it was hyped up to be.
The movie "It" disturbs me every time I watch it.

Event Horizon is pretty messed up.

"Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see."

For the people who liked Shawn of the Dead, check out Severance. Very similar movies. Both really good.

Event Horizon was not bad. Too bad it had a horrible director.

[asava]

i liked shaun of the dead a lot. i liked hot fuzz even better. i thought that movie was hillarious.

Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

[ew2x4]

I think one of the better horror movies I've seen is House of 1000 Corpses. I just really loved the style. I also like Silent Hill, but I liked the video games as well.

[asava]

House of 1000 Corpses is basically a rip off of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

The original TCM is probably my favorite movie.

That's pretty ridiculous to say. They both involved messed up families, but that's about the extent of the similarities.

And the original TCM (well, both for that matter) is extremely over rated, IMO. The opening scene is amazing, but after that, crap.

Here, let me eat you while I suck on my decaying grampa's finger.

[asava]

have you seen all of the TCM's? There are so many ideas that house of 1000 just flat out stole. i'm not saying i hold it against it, zombie flat out said his inspiration for that movie were his favorite horror movies (he is absolutely nuts about them), including my beloved TCM.

and about the original, the movie was groundbreaking in so many ways. absolutely gorgeous in shot. it draws you in, and the absence of music adds to an elaborate horror scheme that lets the characters become real.

everything that has and is ever good can be classified as overrated. don't use that as a dismissal of its worth.

[mjrod]

Horror movies that focus on gore and killing aren't real horror movies.

Those that focus on abject terror, the ones that cause you to squirm on your seat, that causes your own mind as the audience to become as frightened and terrorized as the victim on screen, are the true horror films.

It's not enough that someone dies.   It's so much more when you see the person in there having to make desperate choices and watch as your hatred for the perpetrator grows even more.  Sure, there needs to be some gore, but it doesn't drive the movie.

I just saw the original and the first "remake."  I think Zombie took inspiration in more of his style than substance, especially with exploitation films. What were all the sequels about? What ideas did he steal? You've gotten me curious, now.

[asava]

the sequels were all about cannibalistic families that terrorize people. i havn't seen em in like 8 years, so my memories are a little hazy. i will have to go and watch them again and do a better analysis. I suggest you should do the same.

ideas ripped:
Basically Every Character
1. the alienated muscle of the family (the person who does all the work and who is constantly abused by his family)
2. The conflicting parent and mentally strong child
3. the gas station attendant (although i thought zombie did a much better than any of the tcm's on this one)
4. The one girl that gets away... kind of (Zombie added a twist to it)

Plot
1. The underground Labrynth
2. The entire movie follows pretty much the exact same formula as all of the TCM's


i never saw the sequel to House of a 1000 corpses, but i heard it was pretty good. i took a class once that went to go see it as a field trip, but i couldn't go for some reason.

[ew2x4]

Devil's Rejects was pretty good, but it was pretty different from the first.

GAME OVER

Seriously.  By far the most disturbing film I've ever seen.  Not even close.

Most overrated piece of crap ever. Not scary. At all. People that recommend this movie are really just lameasses that are trying to be cool and trendy by recommending a foreign film that most people have never heard of.

I was scared.

Just watched oldboy last night.

[AzCat]

so i am a pretty avid watcher of ... horror literature.

So how does this work?  You pull up a Barcalounger at your local library, munch on a jumbo popcorn and just stare at the stacks?  Enquiring minds want to know.   

[big e z]

I know it's old and devoid of the modern technical enhancements but my favorite horror movie is Candyman .

 Did you really think Hot Fuzz was better than Shaun of the Dead ? It was funny, yeah, but SotD was an instant classic.

[KSt8er]

The original Exorcist
Alien (the first)

the rest are comedic gold though.
