The spunky cop makes up for the bad directing She is a woman and I'm not gay, but my friend and I agreed she was very hot. The special effects in the last scene are very clever, too.
Blair Witch Project was not so much horror as horrible. The ShakyCam filming is headache-and-nausea-inducing, and the acting was atrocious. The plot, such as it was, was boring, and the characters whiny and flat. I had difficulty staying awake through it. The only thing scary about it was that people paid good money to see it.
Worse yet was Cabin Fever, an implausible gore-fest. The only award it earns is the highest density of the word F--- of any movie I have ever seen.
I totally agree with what you've said about Cabin Fever, turned it off about 30 minutes in. What a disgusting movie. However, the worst horror I've ever seen was called something like Brain Dead or Dead Evil...appallingly awful B-grade that no one should ever be made to watch, ever. Something else that also got turned off half way through.
Another crappy series is Scream. They are pretty bad and like Myspace a waste of space. The most recent horror I watched and enjoyed surprisingly was The Ring 2 I hated the first one but for some reason found myself really liking this one.
Now see, I haven't seen the first one, but I watched the second and wasn't sure what all the hype was about...
i actually preffered the first one, the second just seemed a little daft to me. oww, and the Grudge was scary. :
I prefure the origenal Japanise films over the American remakes. Boy, the Japanise sure know how to make a good horror film!
The Blair Witch project for me was a major disappointment. I actually sat there laughing throughout it. It had no scare factor what so ever for me to be honest. Not many movies do though. That is why Saw had drawn me in. Because instead of trying to be a scare it was all about the pyscology of it all really. The only movies that scare me are Chucky movies. I know it is just a doll but it scares the damned heck out of me to the point where I don't sleep for a week....I don't know what it is about that doll but it petrifies me. Otherwise nothing really scares me at all anymore. As a child I was petrified of the Gremlins when they first came out but I grew up with my father, uncles and brother frightening the heck out of me so after years of them, horror just doesn't scare me anymore.
It's scariest for me when I can't quite define the "monster", but it's not entirely implausible. Something that COULD (maybe!) happen. That said, I had a reoccuring nightmare of someone with the face of a deer skull, and then I saw that M. Night Shymalan movie, I think it was the village, where the people can't leave or some monster gets them. It was... unpleasant. At 3 in the morning. With the lights out. Alone.
Actually I watch all horrors late at night early in the morning on my own just to try and scare myself. THe only time it worked was when I house sat for a week in an old rickety house with a donkey that frightened the heck out of me during the climax of a movie. Not the movie that scared me, just the donkey letting rip at 2am and then me being attacked my a scary possum or something like a possum. I don't know I didn't hang around long enough to find out ><
This is definitely true for Ring. I hated the American version because it lost a lot of horror value, momentum and ambition. The Americans messed it all up in my opinion.
omg, the scariest film ever is The Shinning. i watched it againt last night and i love it. ok, so it itsn't jumpy sacry, it is the type of scary where you sit there with a pillow (or carrot) infront of your face and your butt tight.
The Shining is a great film, it's better than the book in my humble opinion. I bet you havn't got the secret messige in the film though. I'm one of the few people I know who knows what it is.
Stephen King hated the Stanley Kubrick film, so much that he produced a remake as a TV miniseries a couple of years ago. The remake stars Steven Weber, and to my mind, the Kubrick version was greatly superior.
I agree completly. As much as I love Stephen Kings stories, I just think that Stanly Kubrick's take on it flowed better, everything was relivent and better yet, everything was believable, even if it did have ghosts in. I have never seen the TV show, what was it like?
I love watching scary movies but it's hard to find a good modern horror. I usually end up watching them by myself because I don't know many people who like horror movies. Some of my favourites are the older ones such as IT, the Nightmare on Elm Street series, The Shining, and all that good stuff.
The Secret is only in the film, a thing Kubrick did. It's secret messige is saying how the U.S.A. killed the Native Indians and the Native American culture, and the 'White man' is like the devil, and evil. Really, no joke. The book is very good, but the film, in my opinion, is better.
the film was good but the bloody woman did my head in all the way through. all she did was scream and whine.
