This is one of the scariest movies I've ever seen

The scene in which Antonius is asking the witch-girl about to burned at the stake what she knows of the afterlife, and Jöns tells him "Who will take care of that child. God, the devil, the nothingness? The nothingness, perhaps?" and Antonius says "It can't be so!", with such a look of abandon, of suffocating fear on his face is so chilling I suddenly feel very small every time I see it. That one stays with me for some time.

I definitely agree.

Return: If you haven't seen The Philadelphia Story, that would be a good follow up here. Also, for what may be Howard Hawks' funniest movie, try Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

It's not Hawks, but My Man Godfrey is another great one.

The script and plot is almost tailor-made for a rated R flick. So much potential. I dare say if this was the 80s Raimi would ve done it.

Pretty good. Not vintage Raimi but yes it plays like a homage to 80s horror, much like Grindhouse did for the 70s. One or two scenes seemed a bit stretched and outlandish (Evil Dead II-ish) when compared to the ending of the plot, but it was to be expected. Characterisation, usually a strong point in Raimi's flicks, was a bit of a let down. Overall, it was enjoyable.

That being said, I would have loved a R-rated version of this one.

Aren't you one of the folks who said at least two of the 3 "Evil Dead" flicks should have had a PG-13 rating? ;)

I actually have several copies of that book (Vonnegut is one of my very favorites), and I'd be happy to send you one. Let me know.

Cool. Thanks, J. :)

My Bloody Valentine

Easy enough watch, fairly predictable but some decent set pieces and looks the part.

FRIDAY THE 13TH [remake]

I'm not totally against remakes ....Love "The Thing"....didn't hate Zombies remake of Halloween. At least he tried to give us some back story of MM.
But the remake of Friday the 13th was totally unnecessary. It added NOTHING new and even the kills were kind of ho-hum.

Wonderful and brilliant. Alongside Coraline, ranks as two of my most favorite animes of all-time.
