Horror Movies

I thought Paranormal Activity and PA2 were creepy, but the third one downright scared me. The best of the 3 movies by far, haven't been that unnerved watching something in the cinema in literally 6 or 7 years.

Insidious was fantastic at the start but turned into a bit of a joke about half or 2/3 of the way through. Incredibly disappointing.

Haunting in Connecticut excellent stuff the documentary only ,As the film is very poor to say the least

There are two things I look for in every house I'm in, a bookshelf which isn't simply full of the latest Dan Brown trash and a copy of the Wicker Man in the DVD collection. It's quite simply the greatest horror film ever made, it creates such a constant sense of growing dread and fear and features one of the finest performances ever delivered. Edward Woodward is absolutely astounding in the central role, that they saw fit to cast Nicholas Cage in the role in the remake shows how little respect they had for the original.

Love the original Wicker Man. I know the remake wasn't even trying to capture the magic of the original, but I have to say it is a guilty pleasure.

I had such high hopes for Insidious. Thought it was awful. Nearly fell asleep during it, it was so boring.

High hopes is exactly it. I still maintain the very first Saw film is an extremely smart little movie and so very well put together and since then I've been keen to see anything from James Wan.

Dead Silence and The Conjuring are two of the handful of post 2000 horror films I hold in any regard and Death Sentence was alright but Insidious just turned into a mess. Such a great premise and a fantastic ghoul to boot but then he just showed way too many hands in succession and it fell apart

Incideous would have been alright if it didn't degrade into a comical farce halfway through... Seriously, was enjoying the film and then it hit a certain point and people basically resorted to laughing all the way through at it because it just turned 180 degree's from an attempted Horror to a horrendously, utterly, pathetically stupid comical mess.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

excellent summary, the final third was laughable a total farce

wonder will the sequel redeem it??

i watched cannibal holocaust last night after having it for ages.
i would be slow to recommend it to be honest.for me the only reason i watched it was because it was banned in something like 40 countries and i wanted to see what the fuss was about.
ill give it one thing,it looked bloody real and apparently a lot of it was.

but if someone could answer this for me.the documentary makers that went into the jungle and went missing.did they start killing/burning tribes people because they were walking for days in the jungle and went mad?

They did it to try to make the doc more sensational, they intended to edit it to make it look like a rival tribe did it.

The plot was inspired by the Mondo movies in the which the "documentary" makers staged scenes to paint the natives as savages.
