Who likes horror movies?
 
I do. Me and my baby's mama (jest) both love them.

So I just saw Saw IV Friday with her, but haven't committed time to my computer until now (save Fantasy Football lineups) to express my feelings toward the anticipated annual Halloween scary movie.

I must say, I was disappointed and confused.
SPOILER: Don't HIGHLIGHT
Such a great premise and cliff hanger ending to Saw III then Saw IV totally solves Saw III's greatness by just killing Jeff, the main character. Saw III and IV actually run parallel timelines, except Saw IV tries to do the whole shadow a main character and his ethical decision making but fails because....Saw III already did that. Instead of progress the intriguing Saw III storyline it just opened doors to more questions and left tons of things unexplained and some things pretty much irrelevant. The guy with his eyes stitched up and the guy with his mouth stitched up, they weren't explained at all, not even given a tape recorder. I hope Saw V and VI (they have contracts for the sequels) satisfy and can correctly link the events because I had to read the Wiki afterward to get the movie--which then made me say "oh that's just dumb."

Hey. An actual use for the "white text" thing.

My background is off gray, and not many people have yellow as a background, and it's mostly indecipherable, in my opinion.
Yellow it is.

I think the scariest one I've ever seen is Wolf Creek. That film is freaky, particularly since it's based on a true story.

White. Yellow. Whatever.

Best horror flick I've seen recently was the Brit flick, Dog Soldiers. Awesome. It's now on my (ever growing) list of favourite horror movies :P

I am a huge horror movie fan. The only ones that I like, and I actually collect them, are the ones from the 50's and 60's. I prefer black and white films. The ones the proliferated in the 50's and early 60's often were around a theme of radiation as the source for the (insert monster name/theme here). The early Godzilla movies were a hoot. The original King Kong is awesome. Many of them are considered B Grade movies at best but I like them anyway.

DanaC 10-29-2007 08:44 AM

When I used to collect horror films, they tended to be either late 80s/early 90s schlock horror (e.g the Full Moon productions, mainly based loosely on Lovecraft) and very obscure films (some early, some just Italian :P).

The Saw series is by far the worst for me. Used to thrive on these movies. Now I go for the action flick.

Cicero 10-29-2007 12:41 PM

"Vacancy" is a better movie than it looks......rent it. It's awesome.
I'm a horror movie lover...All genre's....all countries....all of it..and the worst done, the better, in my book.

Of course I have to mention Evil Dead 2....who could not mention that...it's downright hilarious!! One of my favorites of all time.....

"I'll swallow your soul!!" "I'll swallow your soul!!!"
(I guess you'd just have to watch it)

We have recently watched Last House on the Left (1972), The Hills Have Eyes (1977), The Hitcher (1986), and Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). Of those, Last House on the Left was the most disturbing to me.

I just bought the original Halloween, which we'll probably watch tomorrow or Wednesday.

Not a big fan of horror flicks - I haven't watched, but everyone else in the household likes "Hostel" & "Saw".

I liked Vacancy & 1408, both different & decent.

The only horror flick I did not want to watch and even now is, Salem's Lot - the dude was just too much for me.

Oh & both Jeepers Creepers that dude is a freak.

Cicero 10-29-2007 05:14 PM

Oh...and I can't forget "The Shining".....still creepy.

And that one German flick where the mom feeds a log like it's a kid and it eats people. Starts with a B....bor..bortik...borteek...damn, what is the name of that movie?!? C'mon tell me someone has seen that piece of insanity?!? This is going to bother me.....
