From Dusk Till Dawn - vampire comedy thats only mildly humorous and mildly entertaining. Great cast, well written, badly executed. A film to watch if you're bored and need a giggle

Yer true is what you say but if you've seen the sequels then it makes you think the first was possibly the best it could have been.

Lol, I never bothered with the sequels.

Scream 3 - for some reason I'll never understand I ended up buying this.

I watched 5 Dolls For an August Moon today. Pretty good, but a little weak for a Bava film.

You need to watch these movies on the ganja. They are hysterical.:cool:

Just to demonstrate how little free-time that I have... the last horror movie I watched was SAW 2.

Watched "Dark Water" last night--very disapointing. Not a horror film, more like a ghost story. Great cast, bad writing. I bought the special edition of "Underworld", watched that last weekend. "Constantine" before that...

Watched The Wiker Man on ITV4 last night, I wish they still made horrors like that (Skeleton Key is the closest thing nowadays). I have always been a big fan of the Hammer House Of Horror series and I think the Wiker Man is like an extended one of those.

That reminds me, I caught the end of THE WICKER MAN myself last night. Love this movie. Always have. So many good things about it. It sums up old school horror to me. It's even Christopher Lee's favourite of all the countless films he's made.

I also meant to post it in BEST ENDINGS last night, as I recalled it was an oversight of mine in the ones I'd personally listed. The ending is what makes it for me.

Tenebraeuk · 04-01-2006, 02:29 PM

Too right, it has a great ending. British horror movies are best when they follow this route - clever, creepy, disturbing overtones and downbeat ending. In fact its what Brit films excell at, not just in horror because Get Carter and The Long Good Friday spring to mind as movies that follow a similar path with the main character meeting a terrible fate at the end of a disturbing ordeal that scratches away at the surface veneer of Britishness to reveal are dark and seedy underside.

THE OTHERS - An interesting take on a ghost film, although i had figured out what was going to be the outcome within 10 minutes of watching i was eager to find out who/what the intruders were. 5/10 for the effort, solid performances, not enough "thrills and spills"

Exactly. Utter tedium. A 25 minute 'Twilight Zone' style story drawn out for 2 mind rotting hours.
And the 'twist' (as always with such things) could only be 2/3 things and sure enough.....

It had potential, it would have been alot better if it wasn't so damn obvious. THE SIXTH SENCE did a far better job at doing what THE OTHERS was trying to acheive

"The Three Extremes" - I have an iron gut. I have seen the sickest flicks out there. I love getting movies like that because Hollywood has been a joke for years now. Remake after remake and unoriginal ideas that just suck ass. I love the asian horror and twisted movies they do and thats why I have foreign and indy films as my favorite right now. Anyways.....the iron gut thing. I have seen Salo, Necromancer (which almost crossed the line with me), Sweet Movie,Cannibal Holocaust, etc. Those movies are cool because they are more original and well, gross as shit. Three Extremes was original and awesome. The extreme short film Dumplings might not have bothered me a few years back, but now that I could barely stomach Dumplings. I vurped (vomit burp)

a couple times thru it but I made it thru in the long run. The short film Cut was awesome and unexpected and that one was the best. The Box was an O.K. short but not to thrilling in my opinion. And Dumplings was a cool story , one I would definatly rank as top notch sick shit.

"The Pulse" - First off, this is the kind of movie that's either gonna resinate with you and hold your soul up against a wall until it stains, or it's just gonna slide off of you and you'll walk away from it cursing it as a waste of your valuable time. It is pure "art-house horror", (which obviously I'm a huge fan of), and it works into you with atmosphere and imagery kind of like, as another reviewer suggested, a Lynch or a Cronenberg film.

Like what "Mulholland Drive" did to the traditional tragic love story, this does for the traditional ghost story...it turns it on its head and reverberates through you, causing you to think about it and feel its effects long after the viewing. It inserts creepy and puzzling imagery with long bouts of meloncholic silence and contemplation in between. It is not fast paced, but slow and deliberate, as if each strange occurance is timed just right to slowly awaken the characters as well as the audience to its larger agenda.

It is, for lack of a better word, haunting. And it does this because between the lines and beyond the sealed door and behind the glowing screen, we begin to realize, it is US. It really isn't as much a ghost story as it is an interesting statement on what society is becoming with the progression of values based on individuality as opposed to community.

If you don't want to think about this kind of stuff when watching a horror film, then you will hate it. But if you enjoy the kind of horror film that haunts you because it has more on its mind than just making you piss your pants with orchestral hits and the severing of limbs, then you will probably at the very least appreciate its efforts. For me, it's because it does achieve its higher goals so well that I rank it as my all-time favorite from the "J-Horror" genre - if not my favorite horror film of all time.
