Just watched 'A Tale Of Two Sisters'
Frustratingly GOOD.
The plot is very twisted that I suppose no one could have known what happened in the first 3/4 of the movie without watching the last 1/4 of it.
The revelation turns the whole mess, which I got frustrated with, into a very brilliant movie.
I am totally amazed.
Definitely worth a watch.
Yes, I am avoiding the remake.

I watched the remake, but not yet the ori one

I guess there are differences here and there.
But still I'm avoiding the remake.

Anyway, finished up another horror movie from France called 'Inside' (À l'intérieur).
No big twist (there is one 'predictable' twist) and the story is simple for this low budget French horror.
Pretty intense, pretty gory, pretty entertaining despite some flaws here and there and there is a huge blood bath.
A gore-hound must watch.
Not for weak stomach!

Started up my horror movies marathon all the way through to Halloween.

Final Destination nice movies i`d seen before ...so terrible & bloody

thx to alexander aja of course...my current fav horror director...Piranha 3D also done by him...
try watch High Tension...IMO that's his best movie...

haa i suppose to watch 436 population last friday..but forgot

Noroi

A Japanese mockumentary that looks like a mockumentary.
It is in no way looks real.
Too many characters involved and too dense the plot (which run for almost 2 hours) for a mockumentary.
It would probably look better if it is not a mockumentary.
However, it does have its chilling moments.

The Last House On The Left [2009]

are this any good?

off to watch nightmare on elm street now, have seen the originals long long time ago. don't have high expectations for the remake though...

i remember that in TV2 right? The villagers there are twisted minded like hell.

I finally watched The Exorcist (theatrical cut) for the first time last night. It was kinda creepy, and still shocking and repulsive, but ultimately I find it gimmicky. Outside of the obvious shock scenes, there is very little that could be said to constitute a great movie. Sure, I like how the movie tried to portray the lives of priests, and how a mother can be so grief-stricken because of what's going on with her daughter, but all of that comes very secondary to Regan performing obscene acts, which is, to me, entirely what this movie wants to be about. And a great classic movie that does not make. I will call it effective, but I also call quite a few modern gore movies effective, and they sure as hell ain't classic.

I also watched Alien Resurrection last week, and followed up with Alien and Aliens over the weekend.

Resurrection was worse than I remembered. Maybe they had some balls trying to make a revisionist Alien movie or whatever, but it was poor movie with poor ideas with a few good scenes. And the cast of characters we are stuck with is by far the worst of any Alien movie. I hated all of them, including the new Ripley.

Alien. Well not much can be said anymore. It's just a classic. If only they had shown even less of the alien itself, I would have called it perfect. Most of the scenes with the Alien stand up very well today (better than all the sequels in fact), but the last scene with the alien dangling off the escape shuttle always bugged me because of how fake it looked. I also wished the little chestburster alien didn't just scamper off on a skateboard. But heck, everything else is perfect. A marvel of slowburning, slowbulding terror. The alien might not appear often, but it is omnipresent. Visuals look superb, interior shots of the ship are mesmerizing. First 5 minutes of total silence (except for Goldsmith's great score) is almost unseen of today, culminating with the scene of the crew waking up from hypersleep. You have some of the most naturalistic performances ever seen in a movie. You have the best development and presentation of a facehugger in any of the movies. You have some great sci-fi elements in there. And really, only in the first film is the Alien actually a truly mysterious being. All the sequels degraded this aspect of the alien. Here we know absolutely very little about it, and the movie plays right along to that. We don't know how it grows to be so large in a few hours. We don't know its lifespan. We don't know why it is resting in the end. Is it sleeping? Is it dying? We don't know. Hence, truly an ALIEN. It is also only here that the alien has a kind of sexual trait to it. The facehugger rape has never been more disturbing, and the way the alien approached Lambert is well... up to interpretation. Suffice to say there are sexual overtones to it. All of these are some of the reasons why I consider the alien in the first movie to be the best ever portrayed, and the sequels in one aspect or more diminish it.

Aliens. I loved this as a kid, but the more I watch it the less impressive it is. The first movie has natural performances for normal, very realistic characters. Those have been replaced by action figures spouting (admittedly entertaining) action hero lines. A lot of the build up consists of banter between characters. For sure it's entertaining, but it's a far cry from the delicate and subtle presentation of the first film. It's all gungho now, and all of a sudden we see the aliens aren't that scary anymore we can kill them with guns! Not to mention Giger's original alien design is superior. I prefer the phallic smooth head rather than Cameron's ridged head. The Bluray picture quality looks absolutely stunning, but it doesn't do any favours to how dated the aliens look, especially when they are moving during action scenes. Of course, despite the datedness, the action, always Cameron's forte, delivers. From the 90th-ish minute mark onwards it's all awesome action. And then there's also the majestic Queen, which is just plain monstrosity. All in all I still think this is a great movie, and I don't really regret such a departure in tone from the first, but it is unquestionably inferior to the first.

You have to understand, before The Exorcist, nothing like that was ever made!!?!

Also, it is based on a true story, in s sense.

In real life, the little girl is a boy and the single mother is actually both parents.

The writer of the book heard the boys story from one of the priest who performed the exorcist rite and got permission from the parents to write the story as long as the identity of the family remains of the anonymous...

My Two Sen

Perhaps nothing like that was made before, but it's still gimmicky.

Whether or not it's based on a true story is irrelevant.

Didn't a new movie about exorcism come out recently in the US?

BURN!!!!!! Am I in HELL!!!!!

Yes, The Last Exorcism (2010)

Haven't seen it yet though...

What does RT say?????

The Child's Eye 3D (2010)

I just got back from the Child's Eye 3D

In a word RUBBISH

It is proabably the biggest NON EVENT produced by H.K./Pang Brothers (you pick)

There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING NOTEWORTH about this movie. Extremely BAD casting, Fantastically TERRIBLE story.

For a horror movie, the only scary thing about it is that I plunked down RM19 on it.

Could have spent the same amount of money watching Detective Dee and Red/Taker etc...

I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!!!!!!!

(*In case you are reading Quickfire, THIS MOVIE SUCKS MAJOR*)

My Two Sen

Hello kiddies (suddenly I sound like the cryptkeeper )
