This thread’s had me on a real horror kick lately, well done everyone.
Sinister was great – put the willies up me something rotten!
Wasn’t so keen on The Conjuring (despite it having the only jump-scare to make me throw tea over myself) as it seemed to just get bored and tail off after all that build up.
Agreed, the original of shutter is good. Treads a very familiar path, but that ending is creepy as all hell.
I quite liked both of the Insidious films, though I’ve already forgotten the 2nd one, and Passtherizla’s right about the beast in the 1st – it all goes a bit ’90s Nu-metal music video there.
Just watched Dark Skies and despite that being a extraterrestrial rather than supernatural it’s still got a few good jumps.
Watching horror films in the dead of night, in an empty house, with headphones on is ace!
Grave encounters was nifty too, I expected it to be awful!
I picked up A Serbian Film the other week – I’m not sure whether the “oh my god, it’s the most shocking thing ever” quotes on the box and on IMDB led me to overprepare, or whether I’ve got the cut version (fairly sure it’s the full one), but I got a “oh, i see what you’re doing there. Very controversial. Well done, have a biscuit.” feel from it.
Or possibly I’m become to inured to these things. It’s very nicely shot though, and worth a look on that score. Anyone else seen it? Opinions?
