Saw THE LAST EXORCISM the other night

[BobbyinTN]

It has to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Save your self the buckage and the embarrassment and go see something else.

That's why I quit spending money in theaters, except maybe once or twice a year. I normally wait til a movie is out on DVD, or if I hear it sucks, I will download the torrent and if I hate it, I just delete it.

Not a movie, I know, but a perfect example of a CD I'm glad I didn't buy is the new Heart album. It sucks green goat balls and I'm a huge Heart fan.
I may play it another day just to see if it was just me that day.

[Everett]

So it was just as bad as paranormal activity eh?

Have to agree there - possibly THE worst movie I've seen in at least 20 years, especially the last half. Complete waste of money.

[Rip Rokken]

I actually enjoyed it up until the very end. Overall, I thought it was a great film with a played out wrap-up.

[Everett]

So what was the ending?

[Rip Rokken]

So what was the ending?

I don't want to spoil it too bad, but it was very Blair Witch style -- kind of abrupt and sudden, camera goes dead. Paranormal Activity did similar, and I think it used to be a fresh gimmick but it's cliched now.

[The_Noble_Cause]

Should've seen Piranha 3d. Forget The Expendables, THIS is the 80's exploitation throwback of the summer. Nudity, gore, inane plot twists and dialogue, random celebrity cameos. This film delivers the goods.

I'm disappointed in the Heart CD. I did get some of the bonus cuts that weren't included on most of the American releases, and they are better than most anything on the CD. I'll glad share them with you.

In The Cool
BootFul Of Beer
Closer To The Sun

The title track is okay, but again, I'm highly disappointed with it.

I didn't see Paranormal Activity. Just because I heard it sucked. LOL

I'm officially done with today's horror films. After Paranormal Activity, I vowed to never support this generations "art" of horror films e-v-e-r. e..e.eee...EEEV-ERR a-GAINE.

Agree completely.

I'll still give a few a chance in hopes that something is good, but for now, you can have all the fuckin' SAW movies and Asians coming out of televisions. I'll take THE HOWLING, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, DRACULA, hell, even the first few NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET movies beat the hell out of today's horror.

Now, there is one I'm excited about. It's a remake of the 1985 vampire movie FRIGHT NIGHT. I was scared at first, but it's got HUGE names attached, Colin Farrell, Toni Collette, David Tenant and a few others. It's set in Las Vegas this time with one of the writers from Angel and Buffy doing most of the writing.

I think it has a pretty good chance of being great.

I loved the first one.

Every time a horror film thread is created, I won't waste anytime to let it be known my incredible LOVE I have for the original Nightmare on Elm Street. By far the most terrifying movie of its time, hands down. At the time, a unique and genius concept as well.

I still haven't seen the remake. Most people seem to hate it, but that's often the sign of a rare gem that only the chosen few can appreciate. Didn't you like that film?

Only the people that didn't go in with an open mind hated the remake. I freakin loved it but if you go in expecting what happened in the original to be the same as this of course your gonna hate it. My advice don't think about the original when you see this.

I dunno. Many horror fans think Elm Street ripped off Phantasm.

[The_Noble_Cause]

Me and my friends enjoyed both the Texas Chainsaw and Friday the 13th remakes, and were fully prepared to enjoy Elm Street 2010. Sadly, the movie was a bore, and stayed waay too close to the original. It's a by-the-numbers remake. If you've seen the original, this one offers nothing. Jackie Earle Haley also didn't come close to filling Englund's razor fingered gloves. The remake isn't bad per se, but it IS pointless.

Doesn't hold a candlelight to the originals, nor will it ever and noone should expect it to. However, paying homage and seeing a legend on film, I think Nightmare re-captured the excitement with the origin and the original take on the character: grungy, evil, mean psychopath who haunts you in your dreams. Out of all the remakes from the big 3 (Nightmare,Friday the 13th, Halloween) I think Nightmare by far was the best executed when it came to freshness but at the same time, paying respects. All this CGI takes away from horror today. No suspense just jump scenes (Nightmare almost made me shit my pants atleast 7 times with jump scenes.) But overall, going in with an open mind and treating the new film as a standalone but with homage to the original apparitions, I'd say a 7.5/10 while Halloween, Halloween II, and Friday the 13th easily got below 4's on my list.

See, I felt the complete opposite. I think Halloween and ESP Halloween II were over done and had no plot to the story and it carried, and carried and carried after a certain point. Jason was more of just kill shots and they changed many things of his origin and actually made him have a brain and though things through. There were cool kill scenes in F13 but again, overboard with plot-less storylines. I think Nightmare executed it's story, esp the prequel like nature the best.

I'll have to check it out. It is a shame that with all the technology and advances in filmmaking we have today, they've done nothing more with most of these remakes to redeem those huge franchise titles from what killed them off in the first place.

We talking the Rob Zombie cinema miscariages, or John Carpenter's original Halloween classics? As for the F13 remake, my problem was it felt more like a Chainsaw movie than a proper Jason movie. The summer camp setting was hardly used. I just recently got around to seeing the latest SAW, a franchise I had pretty much left for dead. Gotta say, not too shabby. Probably the best entry since Part 3.

Personally, I'm waiting for a new big budget Leprechaun sequel. The SAW guys have a premise (set in the Wild West) but can't seem to secure the financing.

I actually liked the friday the 13th reboot along with the first rob zombie halloween reboot. Halloween II was just plain awful. I almost left the theater 30 minutes into the movie.

No, I'm comparing all re-makes. I'd be shot dead if I was comparing re-makes to original classics, haha. The horror movies of their time (Nightmare, Halloween, F13,) are all timeless legends that just will never ever be beat. The times were priceless then. I like what RIP said, the CGI of today's world and Hollywood tries to pump new life in these old films by putting the touch of todays society and technology when all it does is water it down and completley goes off of a horror movies roots, which made it creepy and suspenseful as well as disturbing in the first place.

As far as SAW, I think I stopped watching after the 4th one. Lost its momentum and punch but I guess I could check out the newest one, or the last 2 or 3, whichever I haven't seen haha (I always did appreciate the concept though, the formula works.) I would have to say though, walking out of the theater during the original SAW was just AWESOME. I've never been on the edge of my seat the way I was and then be completley thrilled and satisfied like I was during the ending and the well thought out pieces that were in front of us the whole entire time. All the actors did was sit in one room the whole movie. THAT, is good screen writing.

It IS bad. But you gotta admit, it's pretty different. Zombie actually has alot of talent as a director, his scripts just plain suck ass.

You ever see Sleepaway Camp, Re-Animator, or Evil Dead? No horror lovers' introduction to the classics is complete without a midnight screening of those gems. Red13JoePa is big into all this sicko slasher shit. He needs to get in on this thread ASAP.

4 and 5 were really bad. That's why the latest SAW surprised me. It actually had a decent storyline.

The ending is a blatant lift of Phantasm's, but that's old news.

I like Phantasm better, anyway. THAT is a unique concept.

Save your self the buckage and the embarrassment and go see something else.

Oh man, ever seen Silent Hill? UGHGHGH

I think my favorite horror flicks were "Joy Ride" and "Wrong Turn". "The Decent" was also really good.

The Burning (1981) is one of the best slasher flicks.

When I was a kid, I also liked Pieces, but I doubt it's aged well. The ending is hilarious, though.

Yea, that movie is hardcore. I think Quentin Tarantino helped get it re-released in theatres for midnight screenings a few years back. Had an unforgettable schlock movie tagline: "You don't have to go to Texas for a chainsaw massacre."

I like Phantasm better, anyway. THAT is a unique concept.

Yea, too bad the sequels are so campy. The first one is a def. classic.
