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:
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.

What movie was that? :-[

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 :laugh:
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 :D
-
Oh, i didnt know there was a sequel.. Maby i have to check that one out too then.
And will pretend there isnt a third one ;) Oh, i kinda miss the theatres. Havent been to one in ages!

My Review:
I wanted to check out this movie for a few different reasons. One of them was Elizabeth Olsen, the babysister to the famous Olsen twins! Was curious to see how she did on the big screen. And i actually like what she did with it. Very good job! For the movie, a psychological horror movie. With a few good scare moments in it aswell. I like what they did with it (and that its based on a true story) i like true stories. And even though there wasnt "very muh scare moments" trough out the movie, they have made the movie that stuff sits with you trough out the movie. Its a very scary movie in many ways. And very strong psychological movie. A movie that i would recommand horrorfans to watch! I really enjoyed what they have done with it. And i'm looking forward to check out more of Liz's Olsen work!

I also liked Urban Legend: Bloody Mary... which is part 3... but they focus on telling the story of a single urban legend... I wish this would have started a line of films doing it this way... but seems this is the only one...

Urban Legends: Bloody Mary
From the Director of Pet Sematary, the terrifying Urban Legend trilogy comes full circle with URBAN LEGENDS: BLOODY MARY, delivering hair-raising scares in the tradition of The Grudge and The Ring.
On a Homecoming Night dare, a trio of high-school friends chant an incantation, unleashing an evil spirit from the past with deadly consequences. That same night, the girls are abducted by a gang of high-school jocks. Once rescued, their tormentors receive their just desserts, dying one by one in a chain reaction of gruesome murders, each with a bizarre "Urban Legend" twist. Is it all just a high-school prank taken to grisly extremes – or has "Bloody Mary" returned from the grave to wreak her own vengeance?

So after a few people said this was a good one, i decided that it would be my first movie for the day. And the movie started of strong and kept its pace for the most part.

My Review:
Well, i dont know what to say about this one. I think i had my expactations up a bit too high after watching the trailer. The movie started off ok, and the story was interesting enough. But, for a horror movie, the scare scenes wasnt there enough for me. There was a few good scare scenes, but not enough to be a real good horror movie. They could have done much more with the crazy roommate. All in all, an allright story wich could have been even better if they did a bit more of it. And the leads did an ok job too. But for the avid horrorfan. I wouldnt recommand it really. It was ok, but thats it i think.

A bit different horror movie than i've seen so far this marathon. It starts of right of the bat strong, with a few people going over to Ireland to get the best shrooms. And it doesnt take long before weird things start to happen with one of the people in the crew. Stuff that only that one person can see and hear. Some kind of dreams. And the movie have a steady pace trough out the movie. A few good moments in the movie aswell. Could have been a few more IMO. I liked what they have done with it tho, thinking about that hadnt much to go with. And ok story, and ok acting by some. And with an awesome ending too! I didnt see that coming anyways. A movie i recommand you to watch

My Review:
I actually liked this one quite a bit. Prolly not many will agree with me on this. But i found the movie very good actually. The story is a bit different of course than the original. But i think they did a good job with the story here. And the movie starts of very fast, and keeps a fast pace the whole movie out. From start to finish. A lot of good moments in this one aswell. And i loved how they did it with the story this time around. And i love how they started of with the movie, and then some things happend in the middle of the movie (wich was great) and he ending. Wow! I dont know if we have seen the last of Jason yet! Not just yet maby. I havent seen all the "Friday 13th" movies. But those i've seen i really enjoyed! Nothing can beat the original of course. But i do welcome this addition. For me, i would highly recommand this one if you like the "Friday 13th" saga.

My Review:
Ok, i just got to get two things off my chest. WHAT A CREEPY movie WITH CREEPY DOLLS! I hate dolls! Specially the creepy ones. (so of course, that makes for a good horror movie) This movie was almost a blind buy. I didnt expect much from it really. I think the story was ok. (i dont know if "Mary Shaw and those dolls are real or not) I liked where they were heading with the movie, and the idea of it. A lot of creepy moments with the dolls! And a not a boring moment either IMO. A movie that had me kinda jump from my couch. God i hated those dolls! And yeah, they did alot with less. I liked what they did with this one, and i really like what they did with the ending of the movie. A good horror movie that i would highly recommand. But if you dont like dolls, beware!

My Review:
This was a movie i was looking forward to watch. Heard alot of great things about it. And finally i got around to it. And what a movie it was! It started of with the Maniac Cop going wild right of the bat. And the chase is on. But somehow noone know who he is, and he's always a step in front of them. So the city is on the hunt on a maniac cop, that killing for the fun of it. I really liked what they have done with the story with this one. And the visual efects, makeup and the music just made it perfect. A great peace of a horror flick. Can i go so far as saying, a classic maby?
There was a few things i didnt like tho. The acting some places could have been better.
But i really enjoyed this one! And there was a nice twist aswell in it. Wich is always good. A really good horror movie, that i highly recommand! I hoped i would get in a few movies today.. But it looks like it will be a real slow day :\ Hopefully i will get in one more today.

My Review:
This is one of the movies i've been looking most forward to this marathon. Its many many years ago since i last watched it. And finally i got to check this blurayset out. And wow what a movie it is! I just love almost everything with the movie! The suspence, and THE MUSIC IS LEGENDARY! (imo) And ofcourse how they have done the whole story with the shark attacks, and with the shark itself. Let me just say this, i wouldnt be near that wather at all! And what a beast it is. I love the special efects in this one. And what they have done with the bluray is amazing aswell! The picture and sound is just amazing. For you guys that like this one (who doesnt?) and have HD, you should check this out on bluray! You will NOT regret it imo! Highly recommanded!
And i think this is going to be a slow week for me. With so much shiitake mushroom going on this week! I will try my best to get in a few movies this week tho.

I haven't seen Jaws since it was originally shown in the theater. After mentioning it in a post recently I decided to correct that, watching it again last weekend.
I agree with your review Thomas - I too love this movie.
I don't remember being aware of how vital music is to film until Jaws. John Williams changed all that for me with his score for this movie. I have never been the same.
-
Nice! I'm glad you loved it aswell Kate! (Can i call you Kate?)
This movie is a classic for so many reasons (imo) but then again,
Steven Spielberg is a genious. And what John Williams have done
with this movie and its music, he changed that for me aswell.
But i think what he did with the music in this movie is some of the
best music made in a movie today. Its just so perfect for the movie.
It just fits perfect with everything :)

My Review:
Well, this was a blind buy again. But it looked like it had potential. The story seemed interesting enough. And i watched the trailer after i bought it. That too looked decent! And now i got around to it. Its a French horror movie this btw. (and i really liked Martys, a French horror aswell! Highly recommanded that one) So put it in. And i just have to say one thing really. WOW
What a stupid movie, i didnt like what they did with the story. They could have done something good with the story, but instead dull and boring (IMO) the music was out of place alot of times. And i have to just ask. What did the makeup team do? Horrible makeup, you could see it was a fake on a mile distance. The blood scenes wasnt even good. The actors looked like they didnt want to be in the movie. This a movie i was very dissapointed with. A horror movie, where the tings that could go wrong. Did just go wrong! I highly recommand AGAINST watching this one (IMO) but thats me.

My Review:
Hoho, there is something wrong with Damien!! I havent seen this one before. But just heard great things about it! But i got one quastion tho. Why does this kind of movies always has be connected or filmed in Rome Italy? Just asking.. But wow, what a movie really. I loved it, the story was nice and chilling. It had my attention trough out the whole movie. And the actors did a great job aswell. And what about Damien huh? Talk about twisted stuff. The Devils work? Well, alot of stuff happend trough out, wich had me glued to the screen the whole time. And the movie had it scary moments aswell. And they just made the storytelling in a perfect way. The music and makeup too. Wow, great!
But the sound on this blurayset could have been better IMO. (i havent seen the dvd, so i dont have anything to compare it with, but a bluray should have a better soundsystem IMO) but its an old movie. Wich they got the maximum out of. A franchise i cant wait to watch. Looking forward to the second movie in the series! A movie that i highly recommand you guys to check out if you allready havent seen it!

Why does this kind of movies always has be connected or filmed in Rome Italy?
Because it was the cinema european capital in the seventies and early eighties... Also because the ratio price/quality was the best in the world, Italian crews are well known to do a lot with almost nothing. By example it was the same in England in the sixties or here in Canada since the mid-nineties (and also in the seventies)...
Almost nothing professional is film in the USA since the cost are too high and the crews not that effective for the price.
Looking forward to the second movie in the series!
The second parts is as good if not better, the third parts is ok but feels too rushed and the fourth one doesn't exist in my alternate reality.
-
Thank you Sir for a great answer! I didnt know that at all.
Hopefully i will get some time tomorrow to watch the number 2
Specially after you said that! :-[
A number 4? The remake you are talking about? Or is there a
"original" number 4? I know there was\is a remake from 2006(?)
-
It isn't the remake it's a TV film made in 1991 who is mostly a cheap version of the original but with a girl... But Pete loved it (http://www.dvdcollectorsonline.com/index.php/topic,832.msg72530.html#msg72530) so at least that "film" give us a reason to tease him :laugh:
-
Oh.. I just checked it out, and i cant say so much about it,
since i havent watched the two last movies yet. But with
"Damien" as a girl. And what i saw, i dont think i will be watching it.
-
But it looks like i might reach my goal of 20 movies watched
before the October ends, if i'm lucky! :-[
-
Sure since you're going well, 17 movies in eight days isn't bad at all...
I do it since 5 years and I have just 8 mores than you... but I've no life wich kind of help :laugh:
-
Thank you Jim, appreciate it! :D
You see, alot of stuff is going on this week and next week.
So i wont be able to watch what i want, and with me i
kinda have to be in the right mood for some movies. But
i'll be happy with 20+ movies, and i'll try to beat that one
next year :-[

I agree with your review Thomas - I too love this movie.
I also revisited Jaws just about a week ago. It was the first movie I ever called "my favorite"! It is such a lean machine of a movie, pushing forward at an excellent pace. It is still amazing how things worked out. had the mechanical shark worked better we would possible just have a cheap monster film... It is still among my favorites!
-
Its a masterpiece. A endless classic!
A movie that i could watch over and over again :-[

My Review:
Wow! Damien is back, and better and bader then ever! I loved what they did with the story here, how they continued the whole thing. And see Damien that much older, was interesting aswell. As said, the story was great in this one too. It had me glued to the tv the whole time. And there was a few moments in the movie i wont forget! And i really loved how they have written the whole series so far. And the helpers to Damien. Let me just say this, i didnt see that one coming! Wow. For me (so far) one of the greatest horrorseries i've seen. (up there almost with Hannibal Lector series) This movie was just great, the pace was fast aswell, it was happening stuff all the time. And i like how the two movies are kinda connected! And the music? WOW! I'm looking forward to see what they have done with the last and third movie! Damien as an adult? well, that will be interesting! A movie series i highly recommand so far!

Well, this was interesting.A good this one awell, with a strong continuation with the story and all. I liked what they did with this actually.

My Thoughts:
Hm, well. I'm not going to say much about this one really. Just a few things. I do indeed like a good gore horror movie, with alot of blood and other creepy stuff. (SAW, The Collector etc) And it was a bit of blood in this one aswell. Thats about it really. The story was boring, nothing new that i havent seen before. The actors wasnt at its best, the filming was ok. The music.. There wasnt much of that really. The makeup team did a allright job actually. But the movie itself, had potential, but it failed me. The story was boring and slow. And you know halfway trough how it would end. A few ok scenes, not too much scare moments really. So for horrorfans out there. I would NOT recommand this one actually.
I have now reached my goal of 20 movies this marathon! :D
But hopefully i will get a few more movies in, over the weekend! :-[

My Review:
Ok, this is a French horror movie i bought in a blind buy (again!) a while back. But never got around to watch before now. The movie starts of a bit slow, but after a while it picks up again. The movie is a very sick and twisted one. The story was twisted aswell. So for the horror in it, it did its job great! I will have to say that. The acting was good too, the visual efects was done great too! And some of the scenes.. Were just.. I dont know. I liked it for the horror part. But its not a movie for the people with a weak heart, or is easy offended! THEN DONT WATCH IT! But for the hardcore horrorfan. Why not? Just beware, there are some -on the edge- stuff in the movie that i didnt like. But horrorwise, and what they did with the movie, i think they did a good job. Everything from the acting, from the filming to the makeup etc. But as said. Dont watch it, if you got a weak heart or is easy offended!!

Wow, i hadnt seen this movie before. But heard alot about it. So now i finally got the canche to check it out. It starts of strong right of the bat, and its kinda stays like that trough out the movie. I really loved this movie. Loved the story, loved how they made it all work together and it seemed kinda perfect. Here they are in somekind of a spaceship, and ready to go home. And suddenly they notices that they have a blind passanger on board. And in the hunt for this passanger, alot of crazy stuff happens, wich had me interested in the movie! I was glued to the tv from start to finish. And i really LOVE what they have done with both the makeups, and the visual efects. And hey, isnt that spaceship kinda awesome or what?

Wow, what a movie really! Its one of my favourite movies of all times. The way the series starts. (I havent read any of the books) But what a masterpiece, that keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole entire time. The suspence + the horror at the same time is just brilliantly made. And for Jodie Foster wow. What a amazing job she did with this. As for Sir Anthony Hopkins.. Wow wow. What can i say? I think he\Hannibal Lector might just be the greatest villian on tv of all times. If you know any better, please let me know. I just watched this masterpiece on bluray, and i have to say they did a great job with the transfer. Highly recommanded to check out the bluray version, for you HD guys out there! And for you that havent seen any of the Hannibal movies yet. Please check it out! Its a must see\have for a movie fan.

My Review:
Well, after a very slow start to this week. With no movies at all. and a computer that crashed! Wich i had to get a new one, and alot of stuff going on. And tomorrow i'm going to be gone all day aswell. So this is going to be a reaaal slow week for me! Wow. But i finally got a movie in today.
A movie that started of actually quite strong! Had great potential. But after 15/20minutes it all got very slow, almost nothing happend. The story was easy to predict for me. I kinda knew what would happen halfway trough. But there was a few ok scenes tho, but for the horror in this horrorflick. Too slow, nothing much happening. To little of those scare moments. And a bit dull movie. A story that i've seen alot before. A movie that i unfortunatly wont recommand. A movie i was looking forward to atctually, but a movie that dissapointed me i guess.

My Review:
I've played the game "Doom" alot when i was younger. And i really enjoyed that, so i was looking forward to checking this one out. See if it was anything like it. And i have to say, they did a good job with it. Reminded me alot of the videogames! Good job on that part. And for the movie itself, its starts of real strong, and never lets go. Its an real intense movie about a group of soldiers that has to travel to a galaxy far away, to save some people. And as in the games, thats not as easy as it sounds. With monsters, aliens. Humans that are not human. A great sci-fi horror flick with some real good moments trough out the movie. And what the makeup team and the visual efects team have done with this movie is just amazing imo. The sound aswell! WOW. And the story had me interested too. A real great movie to watch. I highly recommand this one for the horror and sci-fi fans out there! A good 2 hours spent IMO!
And if you liked the videogames i almost guarantee you that you will enjoy the movie aswell! :)

My Review:
Another great horror movie, with a interesting story. A bit different story actually. A horror movie with a great deal of suspence in it aswell. And i like what they have done with it. They are chasing a guy who is killing people\animals and streaming it live etc, just to taunt the FBI and cops. And i like how intense the chase gets trough out the end of the movie. A movie with a few twists. And a good mix between psychological horror and a few grapich scenes aswell. And for me they kept up the intensity trough out the movie. And i like what Diane Lane (the lead actress) did with this one. A great mix horror as said. Wich i would highly recommand you guys to watch! :)

My Review:
Again, after a real slow week with alot of stuff happening i got around to watch this one. Another blind buy, didnt know really what to expect other then it was from John Carpenter. The movie started of strong, about a girl that get sent to a "looney bin" back in the old days. sorry my expression (dont know the english word for it) And in that place stuff happens, people disappears, and there is something or someone that hunts this place. And i think the story is interesting, and like what they have done with all the "we are chasing a ghost" thing. A good mix between pschyological and some gore in the mix. What they was trying to tell us was also ok. But a bit slow at times, and a bit confusing at times too. And the acting was the finest i've seen either. And the filming and editing could have been better. But what they had to work with, i think they did ok. And i kinda like the twist trough the end of the movie. And i liked how they decided to end the movie. IMO that was a good touch.
All in all, an ok horrormovie. Not my favourite horror movie, but an ok one. Check it out if you want to.
Worth a check out IMO (if you find it cheap somewhere, or allready own it)

My Review:
This movie was a movie i was looking forward to see actually. And it was nice to see Hilary Swank again in a movie (long time since for me) Heard great things about the movie aswell. The story itself was creepy enough. But um.. The movie started of too slow for my taste really. Stuff didnt start to happend before over midway trough the movie. And you kinda knew how the things would end, and what would happend really. I had kinda high hopes for the movie, with Hilary Swank as the lead character. But the movie started of real slow, and when it "first started" it never really kicked off, or picked up any pace. And for the real horrory\grose stuff, they didnt do a good job with it at all. They missed imo too many spots. It was a movie with great potential, but imo they dropped the ball on this one. With the actors in the movie, they should have done more with it really. And i will not recommand it really. :\

My Review:
I am prolly way too late for the party, but i just watched this one. (i havent seen any other of the movies. not even the original) But i've heard this was a great movie. And i have to agree. I kinda found the story interesting. And the monster that are chasing some guys in a dream, and try to do stuff. Well, is it a dream? I think they did a great job with the "chase" after the monster that keeps coming up in those nightmares. Is it real? Or is it just something they have dreamt? They have driven a fine line here, not too much of that or this. And i liked what we learned about the victims. (let us call them that) And i like how they made it all so real. And a few good scare moments aswell, and a few good gore scenes. And the special efects and makeup team did a great job with this one IMO. The picture and sound quality was pretty decent aswell. Great job there! And it was nice to see Rooney Mara again. Did a good job IMO. And the ending.. WOW, i actually didnt see that coming at all! Well, for the people who havent seen this one. You should! For me, this is a must watch\have for all you horror fans out there! Highly recommanded!

Agree with everything you say about The Ward. A capable film, but a little disappointment for us Carpenter fans.
For the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street - I enjoyed it but just didn't dig Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy.

My Review:
This is a movie i saw a few years back on dvd. And i really enjoyed it back then, and i always wanted to upgrade to bluray. And now i've finally got the chance to check it out again on blu. And what a great movie it is really. (based on a true story) After a young couple comes back to their summerhouse after a wedding, to relax and think things over. Slowy things are happening with both them and the house. Is it someone that plays a prank on them? Or is it someone that want them dead? (Well i like the story obv.) nothing much you can do with that i guess since its based on a true story?
A lot of good scenes in this movie, some real good scare moments. And when you see what happens to those two people. I cant help but wonder, how sick and twisted can people really be? And i was thinking a few times trough out the movie "This really happend to someone" And that kinda scared me the most. But for the movie yes. A lot of good moments, a few twists here and there. Allright acting by Liv Tyler aswell. The music wasnt the best, but ok. The filming and editing was good aswell. And the ending aswell, great ending. (now i dont know if thats with the story, or if it is something they decided to add) but a great detail IMO. A great horror movie that actually recommand all horror fans out there to check out! Highly recommanded IMO!

My Review:
Oh.. This movie i've heard almost "everything about" its the best, its so scary etc.. And now finally i got the chance to sit down and watch it. And wow, you guys are 100% correct! What a movie, its too much awesomeness in this movie to write about. So i will just write a few things about it. First of i just have to say something about the babygirl and the tv. How creepy is that? In the first scene? Holy smokes. And the creepyness and scare moments just kept coming trough out the movie. And i just have to say something. WHATS WITH THE KLOWNS!!! (gah!) Dont like'em at all. And then this small older lady comes to the house. What a creepy lady! (she was enough to give me nightmares) and with that look, and that voice! Just wow. And the stuff they made happen in the movie aswell, with the visual efects, the makeup team. Amazing job! This might just be the grandmother of all paranomal movies. A movie that truly enjoyed from start to finish. A movie that cant recommand highly enough! A MUST see\have for any horror fans out! Pure class! Mr. Steven Spielberg did it again huh? :)

My Review:
I will just start of by saying that i have NOT watched the original, just this remake. I've heard alot about this one. And now i finally got the chance to check it out. It is a incredible hard movie to watch, alot of brutal and heartbreaking scenes. And a very cruel movie too. It is a very strong and sick and twisted horror movie, about a girl that after alot of things happening to her, is out to get revenge (rightfully so!) And what happend to her was very hard to watch. The revenge she is getting is setting this movie up for a lot of gore, and some graphic scenes. A movie (for the horror part) did its job very good. But this is a horror movie for those who are not easy offended, or dont have a weak heart. Its a good horror movie, but a very diffecult one to watch. If you allready have seen the original, you know what it is. But if not, check out the trailer first.

One of the better horror remakes IMO. I enjoyed it.
The original is very different though, especially in tone, and far superior if you ask me. I would definately check it out but it is an acquired taste.
-
I gotcha.. I've been looking for the original, and i find it on amazon.uk, but it says nothing about
English subtitles etc. I need atleast English subtitles :-[
-
You might find a site I work on useful for subtitle info: www.dvdcompare.net
In the UK, the 3 disc Ultimate Edition from Metrodome does NOT have any subtitles at all but is uncut. The older Anchor Bay release DOES have subtitles but is and older print from before the BBFC waived all cuts and is cut by 31 seconds. However, the cut scenes are still on the DVD via DVD-Rom (it takes you online to see the scene).
The Finnish release is pretty good also:
http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=1820#5
If you ever have any questions about subtitles on UK releases, let me know because I'm in contact with people at the majority of the labels in the UK and can almost certainly answer the majority.
-
You have the wrong movie linked :P
This is the good one on DVD (http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=1702) and Blue-Ray (http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=18001)
-
Oh shit. I got muddled up there :laugh:
In that case, the Anchor Bay UK release does have subtitles.

Thanks alot guys! Really appreciate it :D

My Review:
Well, i really loved the first Poltergeist movie, so i was kinda looking forward to this one aswell. But i dont really know what to say about this one. I guess as a horror movie, it was allright. It had a few good moments in the movie (dont get me wrong) and they did an ok job in this one too with the visual efects. But what they did with the story, i didnt like. It didnt have me interested that much. And it wasnt a very big connection from the first movie and the second movie IMO. I felt they could have done a bit more, both with the story and with some of the scare moments. An allright movie for the horror part. But for the continuation part. Not that good IMO. But i've now seen the first two Poltergeist movies, so i guess i gotta watch the last one aswell sometime.
I hope that i will maby get the time to watch one more movie or so, before October and this marathon ends. Its been so much stuff going on these last few weeks, with both work, stuff happening etc. But i hope i will be able to watch one more before its over :)

My Review:
Ok, this movie was a blind buy again kinda. A movie i hadnt heard much about, but from what some people told me i was kinda looking forward to it. And well. Now i've finally seen this Norwegian horrorflick. But man, the never got started really. And even with a few big Norwegian names, this movie failed everywhere! The storyline was boring (nothing new) The acting was terrible all over the place! The filming\editing wasnt good either. A movie (IMO) with almost zero development. And very weird at places, and they did stuff in the movie aswell, that didnt have anything to do with either the movie or the story. This might just be the worst movie or horrormovie i've seen that i know of. This is a ABSOLUTE NO WATCH! I will never recommand this for anyone AT ALL. (Sorry)

I hope i will get the time to watch one last one, before my marathon is over.
But i highly doubt it :( So much to do, and so little time to do it all. And after
this movie i review'd last.. I should try to catch a better one before its all over.
-
Yeah... I also hope to fit another one in today... but also doubt it. If nothing else... maybe another Halloween episode or two. But not even sure about that. :(
-
Well, thats it for me this year guys! It ended on 35 movies.
Next year i hope i will beat that record! But it was a fun month
and fun to reading your guys reviews! :)
-
I'll be happy if i reach 20 movies this year (in my first marathon thread) :-[
See you did a lot more than you expected to... almost two times.
Was nice to read your reviews (even if I ain't a big fan of recent cinema) as it looks like you had fun... except for the last one who didn't sound great, but it's a production of your country so in those case we have a tendacy of being more severe on them.

Thanks alot Sir! Means alot to me :D
I reached my goal, and next year my
goal will be to beat this one :-[ got to watch
a few good movies, and got alot of great ideas
for movies to watch\buy. And for the last one i
watched. I dont know, since its from my country
and stuff. I guess you are correct there Jim :)
Well, its been a great month. And its always fun
to both write and read reviews! Looking forward to
doing it again!
