From your review, sounded like a decent movie but nothing mind-blowing for a horror movie guess i'll give this a pass.

So i guess it's sorta like an enjoyable movie nonetheless but the surprise/ scare factor is lacking. Conjuring was an enjoyable movie but I'd give my thumbs up to movies like Exorcism of Emily Rose that put fear in me even after the movie ended.

Sounds convincing enough if my horror freak friend is also keen, will give this a shot! Thanks Mov!

Nooooo din manage guess i will stream when its available.

Owhhhh there's a new one out already? If the character Lorraine Warren is in it, I'd love to see it. Hahaha i know what you mean. Till now haven't got the chance to watch Possession of Hannah Grace. The trailer looked so good that I wanted to catch in the cinema but missed it as I wasn't around the whole period.

Managed to watch Crucifixion and I must say, it was pretty good. Better than I expected. The mood, suspense and jump scare was quite well done or maybe coz i watched it alone hahahaha

Also watched Incarnate (2016 film) and it was no good don't bother.

No problem, hope it doesnt disappoints ^__^

Macam yes. Will probably give it a try one of these days. I find Double Vision kinda slow in terms of pace though


A lot of people spoke well of The Wailing. I really need to make an effort to watch it probably when i can spare some time this weekend. I like The Priest, but not so much of how it developed towards the end loll.

Another pretty highly rated one is A Tale of Two Sisters. I've seen it ages ago, but couldn't recall the story now though

So both pon facepalm?

They say REC is good (zombie). And the Hills Have Eyes is pretty disturbing yo.

Yet to watch REC but i've seen Quarantine. It's really just so-so and pretty much "just another zombie flick".

Personal favourite goes to 28 Weeks Later and Dawn of the Dead. Honorable mention to World War Z for the storyline.

Hmmm for me 28 Days Later was a bit draggy and i prefer the sequel. Interesting how everyone mentioned REC being really good - meaning I've got to give it a try soon.

Although not zombie flick - another horror fav is Silent Hill.

If it's slow paced like Sinister but scares you by creeping on you (the idea), then that's awesome. But if slow and story no good, it'll be kthxbye.

Mummy series still watchable ke stopped watching after the first 2.

I watched the original version when I was young - neighbour's parent rented it from somewhere and i still recall it presents a bit of a shock to me.

A bit skeptical about remakes. The old version takes on the horror angle - Chucky was 'resurrected' in a doll. Not sure if I'll like the AI angle of the remake

So the takeaway i get from your review is that - the build up to the story is slow, but later on the scare is good (towards the end). I suppose it sounded a bit similar to Sinister - which I really liked. The pace was a little slow at first but nonetheless creepy and keep you glued on due to the good storytelling.

Maybe can consider hitting the cinema for this one haha.

I recall watching the old version as I saw the DVD in my Uni's library. Watched it with a friend and I'd say there's nothing scary in it.

However, read the book and you'll be amazed at how good the scare can be. The seed of horror that King sows into the reader's mind is just amazing. Sadly, none of the film brought onscreen has ever done his book(s) any justice. I'll give an exception to The Green Mile (which is not exactly horror in terms of genre) and honorary mention to Stanley Kubrick's Shining.

Salem's Lot is also a very eerie story when I read the book. I'd say the film wasn't all bad but again, lacking some sort of essence that the book carries. This will bring me to a next post below

Doctor Sleep 2019

I know that once more, no film will be able to do King's book any justice. Doctor Sleep was so so so good. It's been so long (far too long) that I've read a book that could make my heart pump fast, fear for my life without any logical reason (especially in bed at night, trying to sleep) yet excited wanting to know what's next. It was very hard to put the book down every time I need to stop reading and day-in-day-out, all I could think about was where I left off.

Although a sequel, you'll be able to understand the book/ story without having read or seen Shining since it's a new plot. But you'll be able to appreciate Doctor Sleep better having read or at least watched the former.

Here's an excerpt from Wiki:-

"Following the events of The Shining, Danny remains psychologically traumatized, while Wendy, his mother, slowly recovers from her injuries. Angry ghosts from the Overlook Hotel eventually find Danny, including the woman from Room 217. Chef Hallorann eventually teaches Danny how to imprison the ghosts in lock boxes inside his mind. The adult Dan reprises his father's legacy of anger and alcoholism. Dan drifts for decades, but eventually finds an AA community and gives up drinking. He settles in a New Hampshire town and works in a hospice, where his remnant psychic abilities provide comfort to the dying. With the aid of a cat that can sense when a person is about to die, Dan becomes known as "Doctor Sleep".

In the meantime, Abra, a toddler girl with psychic powers greater than Dan's, slowly and unintentionally establishes a telepathic bond with him. As she grows, the contact becomes more conscious and voluntary. One night, Abra psychically witnesses a ritual torture and murder of a boy by the True Knot, a group of quasi-immortals who wanders across America and periodically feed on "steam", a psychic essence that children with "the shining" produce when they are tortured to death. Horrified, Abra telepathically reaches out for Dan, but they are unable to do anything for the boy. At the same time, the True Knot's leader, Rose the Hat, is also aware of Abra's existence as a potential major source of sustenance."



I look forward to watching Doctor Sleep, with lower expectation for the film ...since the book was totally awesome.

Did ya say Stephen King?! Wonder if they have a book for this, not that I know of danggg if yes I'll buy the book, not so much of the movie though.

Parasite

Finally watches the film. Probably due to its over hype, there was a slight over-expectation. I mean it's good but not mind-blowing good. I enjoyed the little plot twist that came along but alas the concept wasn't anything new to me.

Enjoyed the film? Definitely.
Worthy of Oscar? Probably.

Hmmm similar... not sure if these are on Netflix but you can try checking.

The Others (2001)
The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)
The Witch (it's actually VVitch)
Get Out (2017)

Hahahaha okay i don't recall watching the English version but the Japanese one yes. Ju-On is scary as hell imo. When i watched it the first time, i didn't understand the story and finds is nonsensical. But several years later i rewatched it, understanding the concept/ story better and finally realized it's about curses being passed on (and you don't even know it). Then it became freaky to me in a way and I slept with the lights on for 2 nights in a row.

Okay this sounds pretty good. I'm gonna find it! Never really liked gore but the plot sounds worthy of watching. Thanks for the recommendation.

Ghost Stories (2017)

Summary (from IMDB)
Skeptical professor Phillip Goodman embarks on a trip to the terrifying after being given a file with details of three unexplained cases of apparitions.

My thoughts:
Not bad at all. I mean it wasn't the best of horror movies but this is definitely a good watch imo. Enjoyed the film, and even the rare jump scares are pretty good. There's a plot twist in this and it's definitely the least of your expectation. Good British horror is... /koff rare /koff but do give this one a chance.

Betul. The 3 stories were pretty good on its own. For some reason it was just plain creepy... and then you have the unexpected ending

Apparently there's quite some Easter eggs/ hints along the show, just that we didn't notice.

Thats right, a pretty good script!

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark? No. Is it just as awesome? If yes that means i gotta look for it

Okay download dah!!! See whether there's time to watch it. Arigatou

The title itself caught my attention. Okay something to watch next week!!!
