blair witch is not overrated, it's great if you actually have an imagination

just saw "i spit on your grave" for the first time last night, that's terrifying if you're a girl

Just saw it, too. Decent, though a little overly derivative with the overdone 'found footage' approach. And some real bad acting, too. Still, held my interest throughout.

I agree. Those are the types I like generally. Usually once the creature or whatever is seen becomes much more of a letdown and laughable/cheesy in some cases.
And wasn't filled with gratuitous gore as a shock tactic to keep people's attention.

I loved it, too, but it all comes down to taste, so I'd never try to debate or convince a critic. A big part was that the shaky-cam 'found footage' thing was totally new to me in '99, which added a sense of documentary-type realism. Totally clicked for me, especially in this genre (one of my faves), which needed a fresh approach.

The other thing was that, for me, it got closer to recreating the worst kind of nightmare than anything I'd seen before. Literal nightmare, I mean, which can often be more psychologically terrifying than anything you experience in real life. Something evil is after you, but you never really see it.

I sorta get why some hate it, especially if they're only seeing it now for the first time. The style is totally played out, and there isn't a whole lot of "horror" happening on screen; it's all suggested through the horrified reactions of the "crew." Plus, when the haters list the movies that did scare them, I usually hate those. So, again, we're just back to taste.

I was leaning toward the classroom profiling teacher maybe being the killer, their big reveal. The lost sister, the mental breakdown, the extensive methodology knowledge, etc. But they didn't go anywhere with anyone, ended kinda flat.

I just read that a remake of "IT" is being released in 2015

[kepler2008]

I've seen this film 10 times at least. Hunting !

But the second film is a turnip

Excellent film. One of the creepiest, best jump scenes in all horror.

And sequels are usually just half-assed money grabs, capitalizing on the original's success. I only do sequels if the original (or equivalent) talent is involved.

Yeah, no resolution so I guess there will be a Poughkeepsie Tape 2.  I think I'll pass on that one.

great movie imo--HOSTEL

[oldtimer1]

Hostel, Evil Dead (original), Last House on the Left (Original), Invasion of the Body Snatchers ( I think it's the second rendition but could be the first.)

Filmed down the street from where I'm presently typing, Sierra Madre, CA. Love this little town, best place I've ever lived.

[Pneumothorax]

Event Horizon was pretty creepy when I saw it again about 2 years ago.  Aged pretty well.
The Shinning obviously.
Paranormal activity was solid.

[Bevo]

Once I wrote "I SAW THE DEVIL" in black pen on my hand for a reminder, as i'd seen it recommended as a good movie on the UK board. On my way to a meeting, I noticed it and quickly washed in off in the toilets lol

That is a crazy pyschological movie! Good acting and just brutal

I think it's the 1978 version I liked but it's been awhile. I don't remember the original. I went to many a drive in. Remember how many speakers were missing or broken because people forgot they were on their car and drove away? The original Night of The Living Dead still holds up and it's the movie that started this crazy zombie fad.

Alien and aliens scared the hell out of me.

Event horizons imagery disturbed me on such a level that illnever watch it again.

Some 90s horropr flick with jlo and vincent d'onofrio (sp) had some creepy moments.

All movies I saw as a child/young adult.

Great movie. It's better with the deleted scenes added.

The Cell, incredible imagery. 2000, I think.

Very much so, the guy shows it in the vid I posted. Different businesses now, obviously, but same layout and such. Think they call this triangular island Kersting Ct. or Town Square, not sure. Craziest part is the bottom pic (from the movie) was filmed from my buddy's old apartment (or his next door neighbor's).

[mazrim]

Some might find it a bit boring but I remember liking "The Silent House." Would probably have to watch it again to see how much but kept me entertained. Once again more of an imagination type movie but I thought pretty well done.
