I forgot to say I'll definitely seek out the Cold Prey films sometime. They sound like they're quite good.

Another TV series I remembered was Beyond Belief: Fact Or Fiction? Not 100% Horror but it did have a lot of Horror-oriented episodes that were quite creepy, all the moreso with the ones revealed to be true stories. My favorite was The Kid In The Closet. Scared me so bad and for weeks I didn't want to be anywhere near any closet.

First for all of them except for Saw. My favorite is Saw III.

I remembered the Resident Evil series. I've seen the first two and didn't see the rest. Didn't care for the first two and hated the changes they made from the games, which have so much great material that can translate well into a movie and yet the films chose to destroy the material.

I don't expect anything from Paul WS Anderson.

He's extremely hit and miss for me. When it comes to his own original work (Event Horizon, Soldier) he does fine, but when it comes to adapting somebody else's material (Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil and Alien Vs. Predator), forget it.

I hated Event Horizon. Really boring, end twist was unbelievable, awful acting, but the cinematography was great.

I quite liked Event Horizon. Been years since I last watched it.

It's strange he decided to make AVP PG-13 given that he's made some pretty violent and gruesome films before. Still can't wrap my head over that film being PG-13.

Why do you like Event Horizon?

I don't mean it in a dickish way. jw to see if I missed something in the movie.

Funny you should say that. Event Horizon kind of pissed me off because, to me, it was a few older movie plots sewed together. While I was watching, I was just naming the films, or TV episodes, that they were grabbing. And it came off very hodge podge to me.

You know, if I hadn't seen all these other films/TV that Event was borrowing from, I think I would have enjoyed it more. If these were new ideas to me, I would have been more satisfied.

I don't mind past ideas sewed together if the result is excellent. I didn't think Event was excellent.

I thought it had a big budget, looked really good, good sets, special effects, famous actors, interesting premise. That's about it. The bad was plot resolution and logic, character development, script, not a lot for the actors to work with. I didn't really care about the characters, and I eventually cared about as much for the discovery and resolution of the plot as much as the film did... which was none. This event horizon being the entry to Hell isn't really the resolution... I mean it's the "discovery", but what does it mean to the characters?... the thus the director, writer and audience?

I think a seemingly ambitious sci-fi like this should have a point. I thought it was only film work for profit. Can't a film just be about fun and mildly entertaining? Sure it can, and I can really enjoy those films. Event was mildly entertaining, if it wasn't also so disappointing, failing at it's implied goal.
