Last horror movie you watched? (Page 995 of 1027)

The Hills Have Eyes? I'm surprised it's a pretty well known horror flick (it and the re-make). One of the few movies where the re-make was on par, or arguably better than the original.

Just saw the new Soderbergh film Side Effects. It's a psychological thriller as opposed to straight out horror... but I thought it was done really well. I enjoyed the story, didn't see where the twist was coming. The cinematography was done very well, and made you feel somewhat claustraphobic. Anyone see it?

Big fan of this flick, myself and have seen it countless times.  I even have an original VHS release in a big, white clam shell.

But in regards to giallo flicks (well, the plural is actually gialli) a giallo is a murdery/mystery with equally heavy doses of violence executed by a gloved killer, sexual deviance and visual flair, and typically there's a twist-ending after the killer's reveal.  The sub-genre got its name based on Italian murder/mystery novels in the 50s, which were usually bound in yellow covers; the Italian word for "yellow" is "giallo."

If you really want to delve into gialli, here's a short-list of must-sees:

Tenebre (1982)
Opera (1987)
A Blade in the Dark (1983)
The Case of the Scorpion's Tale (1971)
Deep Red (1975)
Black Belly of the Tarantula (1971)
Four Flies on Grey Velvet (most sources say 1971 but I believe it was '73)
Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key (1972)

I watched a few flicks tonight, the best one being Creep (2004). It was really really well done, what a fantastic setting the London Underground makes for a horror movie! It did for the underground what The Descent did for caves Claustrophobic, tense and well made. Enjoyed it a lot!

I watched The Tall Man yesterday. And man was that a let down, way to go Canada! Very misleading trailers for this flick make it appear to be a horror movie when it's actually just horrible. Dems the breaks I guess.

I drunkenly yelled the title like a hundred times upon first viewing of Naked You Die.

Another fantastic thing about Tall Man is that there is no characters in that entire movie that are taller than me. My friend's and I were joking about how it must be about a tax creditor named Larry Tallman.

Last night watched The ABC's of Death. D for disappointing. BUT that's not to say there weren't some good segments. Most coming in at the end. Xavier Gens did one if not the best for X in XXL, and others I liked were D Dogfight, V Vagitus, T for Toilet (shown here a twisted animation), R Removed, and a couple of clever ones Q for Quack and N for Nuptials. There are some really f-ed up ones too like L for Libido. Overall it's really hit and miss.

OH and I don't understand, why there were so many toilet references in most segments? AND Ti West's segment was probably the worst, short, lame, no thought behind it.

Here's the T is for Toilet Clip.

Stitches

Good, fun slasher.

The Bay

Interesting plot for a found footage flick, nicely done.

7.5/10

Loved Old Boy and was really curious about this one. Good to know, thanks!

Just got done watching Madison County. Trailer has that 80's kind of vibe to it but don't be fooled it doesn't come close to the classics. Story is never resolved and then it just ends. Must have run out of money. I love in the description too

Sweeney Todd [2007]

I watched this tonight with my Mum and it was brilliant. I absolutely loved everything about it, and the gothic depiction of London is possibly my favourite view of London in any movie. The characters were fantastic and the acting was absolutely first class.

Such a fun movie, I know I'm going to want to watch this one over and over and I can't believe it's taken me this long to see it! Excellent film

I am watching SyFy's Flying Monkeys right now!  It has a cute capuchin monkey and giant flesh eating flying monkey!
