What's your favorite Horror Film?, page 5

Watched The Cottage last night.

My God that was the funniest movie I have seen in ages. HIGHLY recommended. If you enjoyed Shawn of the Dead, you will this (I laughed a lot more during this one).

Here is the trailer (but the trailer doesn't begin to touch on the clever humor, I would suggest that Americans turn the subtitles on).

Just watched Skelton Key. Very decent movie.

It is a ghost/voodo type tale set in the deep south. Not a slasher flick, but moves quickly and is a good story. Worth watching. Hefty plot, one feels satisfied at the end.

I remember that one. I liked it, and the way it ended.

I like the movie 'Dead Alive', as it’s known in North America, 'Braindead' as it’s known in New Zealand . It was released in 1992, and directed by Peter Jackson. It’s gory, silly but kind of funny, but it's the kind of flick you can only watch once every couple of years.

Last night I watched 1408. I thought that it was really good.

What was good about it? Acting? Plot? I am suspicious of most stephen king tales...they tend to lead towards dream fantasy type stuff that is so vague its hard to get into.

I would love this thread to be about movie reviews. : )

I thought the plot good as well as the acting by John Cusack. Another thing that was good was that a lot of the movie was in the hotel room. Even though a lot of the movie was in one place it didn't get boring. There was quite a bit of stuff going on in the hotel room. The movie really held my attention.

You wonder if what's going on in the hotel room is actually happen in or if the guy is just imagining it, or going nuts or whatever. But you do find out if what was was going on was real or not. There's a couple funny parts in the movie too.

Thanks TruthSeeker. I will give it a shot and rent it this week.

Saw The Reaping the other night. I would NOT recommend that film. Predictable plot (biblical prophesies), acting was so so, I didn't care about any of the characters really. Only upside was that many of the scenes were visually stunning, but overall not worth watching.

I watched Vacancy on Saturday. The movie was alright, nothing great. It started out pretty good but I thought the ending was a bit flat. Even though I did sort of like the movie, it was still your typical "Car breaks down, you get stuck somewhere, creepy stuff starts happening and then your getting chased by bad guy(s)" type movie. Kind of predictable. I thought it was an okay movie, though.

Just watched Death of a Ghost Hunter.

At first the acting was really not working, but as the movie progressed it got better and honestly the last parts made the movie. The ending scenes were quite bizarre and interesting.

Overall it was a decent movie (I rented it because it was a pick from some NYC horror con thing).
