The worst !

I think I prefer this remake over the original. I found Ben is much more likeable and believable. In the original Ben was like the super insensitive guy, bossing around not putting others into his thought.

I think it has mainly to do with the rewritten script. Ben last few moments in the remake also are much more effective. Laughing ironically, possibly cursing his luck.

Plus Barbara actually is not annoying at all this time.

I think Thai horror movies are outstanding compared to the others. Any Thai horror movies to recommend ？

The Shining 1980 rated very high at IMDB but i don't see any horror in this movie. What do you think guys? I mean IMDB is not guaranteed source to know about movie.

Dun watch black death

Just watched last nite

Paper thin plot and all gore

Thanks for saving my money. I'll just wait for sinister 2 next week.

Because this kind of movie is horror when you watched it during kid era.
Just like "IT", when young u watched u feel horror, but now u watch it back you feel funny.

Anyone saw Visions yet? I can't even find the thread for it lol. Bad movie I guess???

The Visit (2015)

I think M. Night Shyamalan had had gotten alot of criticism for his works, especially for his last 4 works, namely

After Earth (2013)
The Last Airbender (2010)
The Happening (2008)
Lady in the Water (2004)

After Earth (2013) getting the blunt of the said criticism (at least three Razzies awards).

And I admit, I am one of the critics.

You have to understand. I criticize, because I care.

I truely, truely love The Sixth Sense (1999) and Unbreakable (2000).

I like, Signs (2002) and The Village (2004).

I cringed at Lady in the Water (2006) and kinda/sorta like The Happening (2008).

I am not getting into The Last Airbender (2010) and After Earth (2013).

I know there are still more good movies in M. Night Shyamalan, and the After Earth (2013) is NOT one of them. (If you read my review of the movie, I was trying desperately to very diplomatically NOT call it a bad movie)

Let's get back to the subject at hand, is The Visit (2015), good?

It has a very modestly budgeted (in American terms, that is what USD 5 million is, in the grand scheme of things) compared to his last 2 works.

It is very VERY intimate (you get to know the two young protagonist quite well).

I think there-in is where M. Night Shyamalan strength lays, small, intimate, movie that evolves around young talented actors (I know, his last two movies had many young actors. I did use the word talented did I not?? )!

The script (written by him) is good. The situation is highly improbably, and have to add not impossible (Hitchcock anyone?? )

The young actors are great!! Ed Oxenbould's character, Tyler steals the show!!

Any I believe, many people are wondering, is this a horror movie!!

To not spoil the fun for you, let me go on the record that this is a suspense movie, with "elements" of horror!!

Intrigued??

I think I have watched too much of M. Night Shyamalan works!!

I recognised his "beats".

So much so that
Well, alot of buzz is being made that this is M. Night Shyamalan comeback movie.

I agree on some level.

I believe he has found his comfort zone.

Can he be more then this?

Only time will tell.

I recommend this.

So much so, I will also but this in my Horror Thread as well!!

My Two Sen.

P.S. There are two noticeable cuts made to the movie (I think it is two). You get confused for a couple of seconds and then you mind manages to catch up. Just so youse know.

Cooties.. US release 1 year ago.

Oh boy... chicken nuggets infected.

An American Werewolf in London (1981)

One of my favorite horror movie.

It shows that horror movies can also be funny.

Before you run out and get this, please understand that it is VERY RACY and is most definitely not suitable for young children.

Having said that, anyone here been to England, and can vouch that nurses in England are like Nurse Alex Price? What do I mean? Prim Proper, Naughty nurse?? Anyone??

John Landis more know for comedy rather then horror.

After he finished The Blues Brothers and made a name for himself, Unviersal/Polygram Picture greenlit this and gave him a budget of 10 million.

When he first conceive the movie, and found out that there was alot of incentive for movie makers to make movies in England, he went okay werewolf in London, done.

He then ask Rick Baker, if the transformation sequence can be done and Rick Said, he would think about it.

When he called Rick and said he had the budget, Rick was already working on The Howling (1981)!!!

John had a few choice words which he shared with Rick and Rick said, okay I was get my protege to work on The Howling (I will consult) which will free me up to do your movie. And thank goodness for THAT!!

I also love the special feature. I did not know alot about this movie, namely


If you want a funny funny horror movie, look no further.

Enjoy

Crimson Peak (2015)

Going in, I had high hopes for this movie. Why? Guillermo del Toro, babe!!!

I know alot of people had watched/is watching this because of Tom Hiddleston (Thomas Sharpe). I have to say he has gotten the "tortured soul" act down peg!!

Interestingly, just before this premier of this movie a few weeks back Charlie Hunnam (Dr. Alan McMichael) opened up about how hard it was letting go of the lead role in 50 Shades of Grey (2014), because he had promised Guillermo del Toro he would do this first, and there was a scheduling conflict between this movie and 50 Shades of Grey. I respect him for that!!

From a production point of view, Guillermo never leave anything to happy happenstance!! By Jove, the sets for Allerdale Hall are just... staggering!!

I was impressed with what they did for the house in the movie The Haunting (1999) (in terms for the sets), and have to add, this movie's sets, blows that OUT OF THE WATER!!

As for Guillermo's latest ingenue, Mia Wasikowska (Edith Cushing), every time I see her, I kept thinking to myself, gosh, she sure looks like a cross between Martha Plimpton (The Goonies (1985)) & Jodie Foster. To the point when it got in the way of me watching the movie!!

Now, for me, the real highlight of the movie is Jessica Chastain (Lucille Sharpe). From the minute you saw her character in the movie, she was able to project a certain... lacking a better term, "off-ness" and I will leave it at that.

A word of caution, this is NOT a ghost story per se... Just so happens that be a story, where ghosts do make an appearance or two once in a while. As long as you "get" that, you will enjoy the movie better (the characters in the movie, keeps reminding you of that).

There is an old school approach Guillermo del Toro takes when making movies. What do I mean. What I mean is that, he places emphasis on telling the story.

For me, truth to be told, I found the ending "anti-climatic". I have to add, please do not let that deter you from watching this movie.

Why?

When I first watched Pan's Labyrinth (2006) and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010), I found their ending anti-climatic as well. And with repeat watching, I enjoy them MUCH better!!

What am I saying?

I am saying, that Guillermo del Toro's works are like fine wine. You have to sip it slowly, let it air abit, let the flavour open up and then when you have another sip, you appreciate it even more!

... Clear as mud??

My Two Sen.

Sup guys, this week have 2 horror movie The Boy & The tag - along. Both trailers look decent. Don't know which to watch?

Senior? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmzBS9IwQH4
Trailer looks good but I not watch.

If you want scary or horror mobie watch tag along mayb because the boy...how to describe this without spoiling the movie..it has this plot twist at the end. And i just like...wtf is this. Yeah..sorry cant really tell much without reveal the main things here. Later gonna watch tag along and update again.

lol thanks. I too watch the boy just now bcs the time was earlier. It wasn't that great to me.. Waiting for your review of tag along.

The Boy sucked. It's not even a horror movie to begin with. Those who wanna watch can probably save your money for better movie.

Yup money was wasted on it. Any review for tag-along?

Hell-ooooo kiddies... (great, now I sound like the crypt keeper...)

Have not updated this for a long time.

Truth to be told, not much happening in the horror movie genre...

So, with that in mind, I executed my limited "google-fu" and was able to scope out, what are the horror offerings this year

The following, is the result

March 2016

The Witch (2015)
The Invitation (2015)

April 2016

Rings (2016)
Amityville: The Awakening (2016)
Green Room (2015)
Before I Wake (2016)

May 2016

Friday the 13th (2017)

June 2016

The Conjuring 2 (2016)

July 2016

The Purge: Election Year (2016)

August 2016

A Man in the Dark (2016)

September 2016

Patient Zero (2016)
Lights Out (2016)
When the Bough Breaks (2016)
A Cure for Wellness (2016)

October 2016

Underworld 5 (2016)
Ouija 2 (2016)

I am mildly intrigue by The Witch trailer today.

Surprisingly, April and September are packed full of horror offerings!?!

Out of the list, the one I most anticipate is The Conjuring 2 and have to add, I am also dreading it... Why? What if James Wan does not deliver!!!!?!

I am also surprised by the new Amityville: The Awakening (2016) and Friday the 13th (2017)... Really??? We need more of those?

And Underworld 5... Anyone still bother, really???!?

Lastly, I am also mildly intrigued by Gore Verbinski's A Cure for Wellness (2016). Why? This guys made Rango (2011) (YEAHHHHHH!). He also made The Lone Ranger (2013) (Not so YEAHHHHH!!!). Let see how he does on the horror genre.

addendum

Wow, a quick check and alot of movies I'd places in the list above, does not appear in cinema.com.my...

So chances are, we may not be able to watch them at our local cinema...

Sad...
