Huh? I said it's great, just overrated. Chill dude.

Toni Collette has such a strong performance most the film it makes up for a lot of the shortcomings for meIt's just overrated
If you are referring to me, then we just do not see eye to eye with regards to it. It is like a loud chihuahua instead of the hunting bloodhound I enjoy in this genre.I was referring more to the other 2 guys.
I'm still living in hope that I'll get to see a good, accurate I am legend movie one day. It's one of my favourite books and very much my favourite vampire book, although I haven't yet read Let the right one in.idk why its so damn hard for people to make decent vampire movies

To say it was loosely based on the book would be being generous. If they didn't have the same name you would be hard pressed to guess it was an adaptation rather than a generic vampire story with a couple of borrowed elements. It's a bad film, and even worse when you compare it to the source material.I love I Am Legend by Richard Matheson
HATED the movie

Stellar production, arty as fuck, enjoyed it but was a bit meh overall, I'll not rewatch..Did anyone see Nosferatu? What did you think?
I thought the cinematography and atmosphere were top notch. The rest was average. I found it entertaining for sure.
Jane Doe was pretty greatThe autopsy of Jane doe. This one I enjoyed, creepy morgue setting and minimal cast for the most part. 7/10
The unholy. Not quite as good as Jane doe but a reasonable watch. 6/10
Has your daughter seen The Lost Boys yet?Stellar production, arty as fuck, enjoyed it but was a bit meh overall, I'll not rewatch..
Sinners on the other hand, now that's a fucking AAA vampire movie absolutely loved it.
Finally got around to watching Smile with my daughter (she's 12 lol and I've turned her into a complete horror nut) last night, she's been pestering me for ages to watch it so relented, not a bad show tbh, some nice jumps, cool wee story, class monster action bit at the end, so looking forward to watching Part2.
If anyone has any good recommendations for Horror I can watch with the daughter specifically with no sex scenes or sexual innuendo shit, can handle the gore, frights etc, I think our next watch has gotta be the stellar 30 Days of Night, been years since I watched it, loved the original comic and was overjoyed when they announced they where making a movie and boy did they did a bang up job, not a fan of the sequels
I really enjoyed it. The moment the woman jumped in the swimming pool and literally exploded I knew what tone the rest of the film was going to take.Watched The Monkey yesterday... I wouldnt call it horror, but more of a comedy with horror elements
Good to hear, been looking forward to this one.Watched Bring Her Back over the weekend.... what a fucking ride. Damn.
It reminded me a lot of Hereditary, just for how bleak and dark it is, very opressive feeling movie that you cant enjoy without feeling a sort of depression almost.

The ending sucked however, I was kind of dissapointed with it. Overall a great film but damn writers need to come up with new ideas to end horror films lol
Dark. Depressing. how a horror film should be
Disagree with your disagree. It's not lazy. Not all art is beautiful and uplifting I don't like horror movies with happy endings. If want that I'll watch an action movie where the hero defies all odds and saves the worldMassively disagree on that.
Particularly as it implies downbeat, usually nihilistic endings. Which to me usually just show that the writers are just too fucking lazy or uncreative to write a compelling third act, pull off a convincing twist or deus ex machina etc.
Not that I'm saying that everything needs a neat resolution, but just that a cheap-shot ending is always a cheap-shot. Its not daring, its literally the path of least resistance.
The principle is basically that outlined in the idea of the "prestige". The real trick is digging your characters into a pit so deep that escape seems impossible, and then getting them out without making it seem contrived or artificial. That takes real skill.
Who wants to be depressed by a movie? Horror fiction, of all genres, trades on escapism because fundamentally the appeal is testing oneself against the inevitability of our own mortality.
Life is downbeat, after all.

How recent we talking? I liked Cuckoo, Possessor, Barbarian, The Medium, Incantation. The ending to Bring her Back I could live with. I don't remember the ending to Longlegs, Didn't care for the ending to Oddity. I didn't watch Nosferatu or Sinners.It doesn't have to be upbeat. It just has to go somewhere other than the obvious.
Which I'm sorry to say that it seems very few modern horror movies tend to do.
Just out of interest, what are some of your favourite recent horror movie endings?
It's a must watch, no matter whatMad God. Is this a horror? Certainly full of INCREDIBLY disturbing imagery. As a stop motion fan though, it is impressive. Far too artsey for general consumption, but worth a watch if you are into lovecraftian stuff and head scratching visual assaults.
it's complete garbage. i really don't understand how anyone can watch this film and find enjoyment in it. it's so fucking dull.![]()
Finally got around to watching this with the other half this afternoon.....
oooooooooh fucking boy where to start. It's pretty dire honestly, I really don't understand the people who say this is some kind of genius. I spent most of the time squinting / confused what I was even looking at.
Probably one of the worst horror movies I have ever seen to be honest.

I watched this back when it was being hyped but I wasn't really paying attention to it. It was on for background noise really. I'll have to give it a fair shot but yeah not very memorable from what I remember![]()

I watched Companion at the theater. I really enjoyed. I wouldn't classify it as horror thoughSo MAXXINE was a bit of a disappointment, leaned far too much into 1980s atmosphere and quirky characters than an actual plot. No bad but for a movie about porn actresses getting killed it was far too tame.
Final film is Companion. Pretty fun, definitely go in knwing as little as possible as there are some good little twists early on. It's a good script, written smarter than the characters in it which is always a fun experience when there are 'smartly written' characters making dumb choices that have logical outcomes. It's not quite Tremors level as it stumbles a little at the end.
I gotta say, the little "take a breather" ads HBO Max is splicing into their films is about as horrible a way to do it as possible. Not a 2-3 minute commercial break where you can actually get up and pee, but an aggravating pause in the action to interrupt the flow. Ugh, heading straight into a streaming hellscape.
This has to be in my all time top 20 maybe even top 15Checking out Lake Mungo tonight. Heard good things, it's been on my backlog for a while now.

Just finished watching it, still not entirely sure how much was real and how much was imaginary. I wasn't sure if I was going to bother with it as I didn't think much of the first but I actually enjoyed it a fair bit.Watched Smile2 at the weekend, damn that's a great wee series, really ramped up the tension with an absolutely stellar opening, loads of great jumps and even though I called the ending right at the start, it was still great, can't wait to see where he goes with Part3
I have the add the entity/demon/whatever is an absolute cunt, what it does to the victims is proper nitemare material, definitely one of the worst bastards out there
Yeh I really enjoyed this one, and the lead actress was superb. By all accounts this sort of movies should just be average but it's done very well.Watched Smile2 at the weekend, damn that's a great wee series, really ramped up the tension with an absolutely stellar opening, loads of great jumps and even though I called the ending right at the start, it was still great, can't wait to see where he goes with Part3
