What movie did you last watch?

[WolfMoon]

I didn't pay to see that one.

But I was eager to see something other than the old stake-through-the-heart-and-holy-water cliche'.I wouldn't recomend paying to see it,but if you forget everything you've ever seen in cinema and read in books,then it's an entertaining piece of fiction for an hour and a half.

And as for the actors,for the money these goobers are paid,you'd think they could do a better job!Why the hell do morons like these get paid so much money for doing jack,while people with real jobs break their backs and are still behind on rent?

Bah!

Van Helsing - quite possibly the worst movie ever made. I know this will draw irate shouts, but...jeez.

There were holes in that plot you could build freeways through. Just seeing an ad or DVD cover of that movie gives me a pain behind the eyes. Yeesh.

Living Hell (Iki-jigoku}

Hirohito Honda is Yasu, a wheelchair-bound young man who lives with his dad, siter and brother.

The film starts out in a family’s home where a grandmother and a granddaughter brutally murder a couple. In what has to be one of the most original death scenes I've ever seen, the grandmother takes a beetle of some sort, puts it in a glass, and presses the glass over a woman's eye, wheren the insect does something to fill the glass with blood.

The old lady is found at the home by police and deemed senile, and locked away, where she escapes and winds up with the granddaughter at their distant relative's home, which happens to be Yasu's.

The girl doesn't speak, and the grandmother, when she does, leads everyone to believe she isn't all there.

The gist of the movie is everyone has to go to work during the week, leaving Yasu alone with them.

While alone, the female duo proceed to torture the poor hapless bastard. No one buy's his story, since he is anti-social. So everyday that they leave, he is at their mercy, or lack thereof.

This movie touts itself as being The Texas Chainsaqw Massacre without chainsaws. To an extent the begining of the third act is. At this point the movie is great, and ingenius in the way they show Yasu's POV with a couple of continous shots of the mayhem. The room is lit just so that it really is creepy.

Then it indeed goes to Hell.

The overacting by a couple of the actors is embarrasing, reminded me of Bollywood, and the plot, holy shit, takes a "turn" that has more loose ends than a porn star convention. Sorry that was bad.

But seriously the middle and end of the third act negate the rest of the film and it is sad. I see this alot in Japanese horror films, but they've still cornered the market in terms of content and presentation.

This is a low-budget movie but doesn't try to be more than that, so you forget early on of it's limits. Established camera angles and settings are rather striking at times.

This movie is more of a dark dark comedy than a horror flick, and I think you're allowed to giggle at certain instances without being deemed a sicko.

But who here does't want that label?

It sure did.

I never got scared, but I did enjoy it through out.

The uncut DVD has scenes that show the parts you just heard offscreen (like the zombie janitor getting shot). That's alright, but I think the movie was better with a bit of subtlety in certain parts.

[edible_eye]

i think i got scared in the beginning with the kid in the doorway. that's what alcohol will do to you, i guess. kids, take note - stay away from drugs and alcohol.

yeah, like that'll work.

Heh, for anti-drug fun, you should check out "Blood Freak", the worlds only anti-dug, pro-Jesus slasher flick with a giant turkey (which is actually a boy that smokes too much pot that tried a "new type" of ganja). It's put out by Something Weird video, so you know it's a classic!

[AlKilyu]

Loy: Do you recommend the Korean horror movie "Phone"? I am debating looking for it...

[WolfMoon]

Al:This movie is more of a dark dark comedy than a horror flick, and I think you're allowed to giggle at certain instances without being deemed a sicko.


I'm always the one at the theaters laughing at inappropriate parts!I was the only one who laughed when I saw the part in Interview where Lestat dances with Claudia's dead mother.

People are always looking at me as if I'm a sicko.I just think death scenes are funny sometimes.......

:twisted: Lets see, which movie did I last watch? SAW. Good movie. I find it to have little to no need to be better. The images in the movie are great, and so is the story line. I suggest ever one go out and see it. (I am sorry if I have miss spelled any words.) :twisted:

I will not be discussing this movie as EPS hated it and if I were to talk of it too much she would proceed to rip out my leg hairs again. Because I said "hey look at this cool website" she says that it was MY idea for us to see it. My choice was...well you know...

I liked this movie. I really did. Yeah okay maybe if you think about it long enough it had some plot holes, and yeah the acting towards the end got a bit bad, but I really did like it, especially the end. I pride myself on catching the "suprise endings" and this time missed it.

Speaking of "missing it", I got up to refill our popcorn and almost missed the preview for Haute Tension(High Tension). Whew, so I go to get the popcorn, and that particular theater uses REAL butter! I come back to find they had a preview for "The Devil's Reject's"!!! DAMMIT! I was the only one in the group all syked for that movie and I had to miss it? How unfair is that!?!

Yesterday night I saw Identity...

Was good.

[AlKilyu]

Identity was good.

You could see all the plot twists coming a mile away, but I never saw the final twist.

Amanda Peet died, and really, that was worth the price of admission.

White Zombie ~ Bela Lugosi

House on Haunted Hill ~ Vincent Price


It just doesn't get much better than Lugosi and Price for me.

:twisted:

Hell,I wish I could say I had sex on Hallowe'en,but I was puking.

[gingerbreadwench]

I finally saw Ringu. I thought it would be like the book. I was hoping for some hermaphrodite action, but I guess not.

There are three books...

Were you expecting the pedophile teacher to be the one to throw her in?

[gingerbreadwench]

Yes, Al... sorry, should've specified. I expected the movie to be more like Ring by Koji Suzuki. Oh well. It was still pretty not bad.

[black_and_blue]

ehhhehehehe... the last movie i watched in the movie theatre was lord of the rings three last christmas... *so sad...*

[akhira]

The Machinist...

Very surreally good flick with an emaciated Christian Bale as an insomniac, who's caught in a waking nightmare. He hasn''t slept ina year and is haunted by a strange guy. AS the story goes a long, he discovers clues that lead him to believ he murdered someone.

Well if you liked the book(s) then Raisen is the sequel that everyone has pretty much said "disregard that...here is a better one." but is faithful in most ways to the books.

Then of course there is Ring Virus, the Korea version...this is all in a thread somewhere.

Now run past the Korean prostitutes and go watch Grudge!!!

[centurion]

Some low budget samurai film on channel 3......

Yeah, I haven`t seen a real movie in a hell of a long time..... A) theaters are way too expensive here, B) I`m never home long enough to rent a video, and C) none of the videos here are in english anyways.....

[mlwlildevil]

the last movie I watched was The Grudge..about 3 hours ago.... It was kinda funny some guy screamed and ran out of the theatre....it didn't bother me much {and no, I won't be sleeping for a while thank-you very much!}
