It wasn’t a bad movie, but once they went underground…it was a let down.

It’s a great film. Took me a couple of complete viewings to warm up to it though.

So bad that I think it went straight to dvd. Basically, a found footage movie with some slight references to Amityville to keep the ‘plot’ going. Once again, some annoying person has to film everything, this time it’s a 13/14 year old son, who gets his just desserts at the end. The ending of the movie is just showing the autopsy reports of the dead family. I must say, the teen daughter having her skull, spine and several organs ripped out was a nice touch.

At least Jamie Lee Curtis got some closure and a way out of being attached to any more films. Honestly, Halloween 8 looked like something produced by a junior high drama department.

I guess they were hoping that she could come close to the original actress. Problem was, no one can play crazy like Piper Laurie.

well, you could watch Paranormal Activity right up to the ending, then pause it and watch the original pre-Paramount ending on YouTube:

Every single scary moment was in the trailer and in pretty much chronological order. Hated it so much. My Bloody Valentine Remake, Wrong Turn 3 and 5, When A Stranger Calls Remake, The Exorcist (cardinal sin I know but just can’t stand it), Halloween 6+8 and all of the Amityville Horror Sequel. In fact there are more horror films that a terrible than ones that are good…’Tis a shame because horror is my favorite genre.

That’s just personal taste. Carpenter’s Fog is one of my favorite horror films of all time. It’s not especially scary, but, like most of Carpenter’s work, it’s a film that relies more on atmosphere and a well told story than scare tactics. It’s one of the reasons John Carpenter is my favorite genre director. I think building an atmosphere well is far more important and longer lasting than jump scares, and to me, The Fog was and is effective in having done just that. Again, though, it’s up to your own personal taste.

For me, its Evil Dead (2013). I was really looking forward to that one. The trailers were awesome. Hearing about it being a metaphor for drug addiction really got me pumped because I love movies that are symbolic.

But, it turned out to be a rushed bullshit movie that lacked tension, character, and emotion. Fuck that movie for ruining the perfect streak the series had until it came along.

Freddy being innocent was a really fascinating, game-changing idea that it felt like they just didn’t have the courage to follow through with. But then again, I realised a while afterwards, if he’s innocent then there’s absolutely no reason for him to have the glove. So it doesn’t really work…

No I’d have to agree with you. Its not being over protective, its the fact that someone had a scary and creepy idea and took the time to expand upon it and fill in the gaps with the right kind of symbolism. It was taken care of, it was edgy because it had to be, the movies were made to try and pander to fans and make money off of them. I applaud them for the look and the special effects, but it was all just cramped imagery. Sucks it could’ve been a scary ghost story, and with that kind of budget, could’ve been really haunting, but it was rushed and forced. :'(

Saw VI rocks! I loved every one except for III. The sudden presence of full frontal nudity and liquefying pigs was a bit unnecessary. And although IV was one of the low points of the series, that scene with the rapist stuck with me for a long time. I was very happy with the ending of the series, too. Without any spoilers, I was glad about Detective Hoffman getting what he deserved. Man, that guy was ugly… XD

Exactly. I’ve seen fan-made stuff that’s more true to the games than that garbage. From Silent Hill miraculously being FILLED with people suddenly, who all came running to the church, to Pyramid Head being in everything, it was just awful. The games verify each thing has an importance; Pyramid Head represents guilt; the town being empty represents isolation; nothing in the movies made any sense, it was just mashed together bits of the game and people who didn’t truly understand every aspect of the game are the only people who could like the films. My friend has not played the games and disliked the films slightly until I let her watch me play them. Now she says the movies are utter garbage. Maybe it’s because I’m so overprotective of this series, since I played the first one when I was 5 years old, but I still think the movies are horrible.

The Silent Hill film was boring, it was an okay movie with special effects, I feel your pain, I don’t see how movie companies with a blatant blueprint for the source material could fuck up so badly. The games hooked you in and were scary, the movie mad me sleepy and think of reasons to leave the room.

Saw 6 (I know sounds ridiculous) was actually the best sequel imo, had a really cool twist at the end and felt a lot smarter than previous entries with more suspense.
Saw7(final chapter) was a piece of shit though and I’d recommend staying away from it…FAR away from it.

Gentle atmosphere that never ends with a scare. The cardinal sin of making the protagonist stay way after any human would have left. Even the “found footage” cut away from blood. They tried to make up for it with a predictable and overly-bloody ending, it just didn’t work).
Also, good point on Saw 2, all movies are scarier if you care about the protagonists…
Which leads me to my most recent big disappointment – Godzilla. The trailers were so strong that my excitement reached a fever pitch going in. And literally nothing worked. No interesting fights. Not enough Godzilla. Phoned in and overacting (looking at you Watanabe and Cranston). But worst of all, I couldn’t bear following Aaron Johnson and his family. Absolutely no connection made to them.
