My Review:
So finally October is here! And i chose this one to start my horrorfest! A very good horror movie IMO. A interesting story with a interesting twist and turn in the middle. A movie with alot of blood and gore. A very twisted movie that had my attention trough out the whole movie. Alot of nasty things that includes nails, sawgun etc.. A movie that can remind a bit of saw actullay! A movie that i would recommand you guys that like the saw series! And i did like the ending of the movie quite a bit aswell! And the movie had me guessing a few times trough out. And i read somewhere that they are making a movie number 2! Something im looking forward to!
Well, thats it for me tonight. Hopefully i'll get one or two more in tomorrow!

My Review:
A movie i've heard alot about. Finally got the chance to check it out. And it is an old movie, but the movie starts of a bit slow. But get up in pace again. Its a movie with a very interesting story\plot IMO. And i gotta say what they have done with the bluray both with the sound and picture quality its pretty decent. And for the movie itself, its an interesting story about whats hiding in the fog! And with something inside the fog that is killing people. I would say they did the most they could with this movie actually and i enjoyed it a bit. Its a movie with a bit suspence in it aswell, and what they have done with the visual efects for its time. Impressive aswell! A good old horror movie that i would recommand you guys to check out

My Review:
I just have to say one thing aswell, and that is. As Pete i too is a fan of Elisha Cuthbert since i've watched her in 24. That was one of the reasons i wanted this movie. And the movie was a typical gore horror movie, with some sick and twisted things. Could remind me of some of the scenes in the SAW movies. The movie had my attention trough out the movie, and there was a nice twist a little over half way trough. And i liked Elisha's part in this movie, i think she did a very good job with what she had to work with. And for her character it was a race against time to get out of this alive. And i like how she played this character. Very well done! A movie that i highly recommand for the people who doesnt mind some blood, guts. And some strong scenes. A small but a very good horror movie, that i would watch again! With an ok story on top.

My Review:
Holy smokes! Let me just start of by saying a big thanks to Sam for recommanding this one to me!
What a movie really. The story was a new one, and for me an original story. The story starts of in a good pace, and it stays that troughout the movie. The movie is alot about a mad butcher that likes to kill people on a train (for some reason!) And as more we get in to the story, the more sick and twisted the movie gets! And WOW for a role by Vinnie Jones, and that without even saying a word! And we cant forget about Bradley Cooper either! What a horror movie. And how sick and twisted can people be? Just an awesome movie, with some twisted stuff troughout it. And with a nice twist aswell! And i enjoyed the ending much too! But they should have done a much better job with the bluray transfer. The picture quality wasnt good at all! But the sound and sound efects.. Just wow! Perfect! This is a must see for horrorfans!

My Review:
Another movie that i was recommanded! And i kinda had my expactations up a bit. But the started of in a very high pace, and never let go from the get go. And for me it was awesome to see Kane (WWE superstar) in the lead as the monster. The story wasnt anything new, but it kept me entertaint troughout. And the scenes where the monster uses a hook to catch his victims. Just wow. And not to bad of a performance by Kane aswell. He impressed me actually! Again a movie with lot of gross stuff and alot of gore! And what they have done with the visual efects and the sound\picture quality. Just awesome! A movie that truly enjoyed from start to finish, kept me eintertaint troughout. A movie for horrorfans! And i kinda liked how it ended too. So go cehck it out!

My Review:
Its been a very slow day for me today movie vise. So much stuff been happening today. But me and a friend just watched this one. A movie about revenge. A married couple got their son kidnapped, and the kidnapper got a way to small sentence, so they decide to take the law in to their own hands. There of the title "The Tortured" the movie started of strong IMO. And we follow the couple's journey to justice. But the movie goes back and forth in time (something i dont like) from when the movie started and way before etc. Confusing and sometimes not good. But when we finally comes to the justice part. There was some very intense scenes, and some very detailed scenes. (very good efects in the movie) A lot of blood and gore again. And a very detailed torture hour. Not for the weak hearted. So they did a good job there. (you can see in the movie that its the producers behind SAW that made the movie) So a very good movie for you guys that like some blood and some very grapich images etc. (like saw) But the movie was bad filmed some places, and bad edited. And the acting wasnt at its best all the time. (wich drags it down a bit) But all in all, a very good movie again! Highly recommanded!

My Review:
With this one, i actually had NO IDEA what to think at all. Hadnt heard of it or anything before i bought it. A blind buy on my part. I only knew what was said on the cover. "Very bloody and a intence horror"
So, i put it on, a few hours ago, didnt know what to think. And it started of great, with some nice action. But the movie slowed it pace down very quickly after that. For me the movie reminded me very much about the Scream movies. The story was allright, the acting could have been better. But i liked where they were going with it, but just in a too slow pace for me. And there wasnt too many twist (one) And those scare moments and all those bloody scenes, they could have done alot more of those! But, the movie had its moments here and there. And i like how they did they "i did it" angle. An ok horror movie. A movie you should check out if you are a Scream fan. If not, dont bother IMO.

I liked both the original and the second one.  No rocket science but just a fun watch.

What movie was that? 

[Jimmy]

Urban Legend : Final Cut, it was released 2 years after...

As David said they are fun to watch but kind of dumb... Personally I think the sequel is better. Just pretend a third one doesn't exist, believe me it's for the best

I have seen them in a theatre and it's the kind of film who are better on a big screen (at least the theatre were not full of annoying douchebags 12 years ago).

And it started of great, with some nice action.

This is sure one of the best pre-credit sequence in an horror film
