I watched an pretty good horror film the othe day called May. It's kind of plays with the Frankenstein story among other films. It's a about a girl who doesnt have any friends so makes her own ....
I have put the Children on my love film list and am looking forward to it.

Hey All - Don't know if anyone has Comcast Cable or not ... but I caught Carpenters The Thing over the weekend!
Which, I thought, was very interesting since we'd just been talking about it here .... so, if you have Comcast, check to see if it's in your listsings or available OnDemand. I think I caught it on the free movie channel ENCORE. Good luck!
The Man In Black Fled Across The Desert...
...And The Gunslinger Followed.

Watched two horror movies yesterday, one very good, the other pathetic. The good one is Skjult (Hidden), a Norwegian movie that touched me deeply; also think that the actor who played the main part did a really really great job. Highly recommend it to everyone who loves them slow and sad.
The pathetic one was Descent: Part Two, which somehow managed to be even worse than Part One.
Spoiler:
we were even cheated of the only bearable things the first descent was boast - namely, its bleak hopeless end.
No matter good or bad, I wasn't in the least surprised to learn the name of the main female characters in both the Norwegian and the American movies.
Yes. Sarah.
I'm beginning to think it's a law, or maybe the key part of some obscure conspiracy.

bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is really disturbing. I really like how it took it's time to build up tp the horror but
Spoiler:
the glass scraping noise is really eerie.
Yes! I had never heard of it, but my neice let me borrow it. When I said I loved it, she said keep it. Sweet!
I need to watch it this weekend. Thanks for getting me geared up for it.
Pam - Glad you finally got to see The Thing. Does it rock or does it rock?
My biggest problem with horror that is sad and/or emotionally-based is that I can't handle how depressed it makes me these days (same with most dramas) - unless I am in a superhappy mood when I start watching.

I had that in my netflix queue. I just bumped it straight to the top! I've been on a Norwegian film kick lately.
Do you like slasher films at all Jean? I watched Fritt Vilt (Cold Prey) awhile back, and loved it. If you like those types of films then I'd highly recommend it.

I rather like them - not half as much as slow, creepy, involved horrors featuring little girls, psycopaths and the chilling history of a particular house/lake/doll/family/hospital - my main problem with slashers is that they normally lack any development, substituting for it mere escalation. I don't mind them as a good, wholesome entertainment, though, and I especially love to see anything you loved!

You must have the broadest possible view of what "wholesome" means. I'm not arguing; just appreciating an irony.

So have you ever seen Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween? Based on your description, I think you might actually really enjoy that one. Zombie really delved into the character of Michael, that it adds another level to the film. Also it involves a child and a mental institution
Thankee. I was beginning to think I was invisible. For a horror geek like myself, I feel strangely invisible most of the time when I post in this thread.
Going to try to find something to watch tonight. I hope Fearnet has something new.
BTW, I was wearing pants then...but I am not now.

I watched the children the other night as a result of this thread and I really enjoyed it. They really managed to build a decent amount of tension. The beginning scenes make the children seem ubiquitous therefore really setting up what follows!
It's defo the kind of horror I like.
i have put session 9 on my Lovefilm list.
Woofer since youhave seen May which I really liked - can you think of anything similar that I could add to my Lovefilm list ? Also id you watch May again?
Switchblade Romance is a fantastic film. It's French I think and not a common garden slasher as the title wold sugest. It has a pyscho in it and a shit load of tension - it really sets you n edge watching it !

You're welcome
I wish I could respond to most of what is being said here, but I haven't seen any of the movies you've been talking about lately
I'm very excited for the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street which comes out on my birthday!! I can't wait to see it.
About the pants: good, woofer, I'm glad to hear you quit the false advertising
Finished The Dark Tower at 6:03AM on December 21, 2009.
The man in black fled across the desert,
and the gunslinger followed.
Thanks guys! Tee hee. Been feeling a little down in RL, so good to be noticed.
Sickrose - As far as something similar to May, the first thing that popped into my mind is Sick Girl, so I looked it up to confirm the information. I knew it was a MOH episode and that it also starred Angela Bettis, but I was surprised to find that both May and Sick Girl are Lucky McGee projects. Definitely check out Sick Girl - not nearly as gross or insipid as the title might suggest.
I'm with Melike - definitely have to see The Human Centipede. It can't be more disgusting than Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom. Might have to watch it alone, though. That's stretching the limits of all the other fans I know IRL.
