Dark water
 

HAs anyone seen the preview.

Re: Dark water
 

for a remake?

Re: Dark water
 

with the recent trend (Grudge and Ring 2) of remakes of JapHorror movies sucking, I wouldn't normally have much faith in this one. BUT, this one has legit starpower, not just people who're popular at the moment. I have faith that even if the script is week, Connely will make it at least decent.

i've turned these movies over from every angle possible ...
but i just cant see how they sucked ... and i'm not exactly a pushover .. i hardly like anything these days ..


why do people hate the ring and the grudge ? i havent seen anyone say why ... just that they do.

I love them I actually met the co producer of the grudge, currently they are working on Grudge 2. I will get nmore info on it when I talk to him. I pass out to the grudge everynight.

I haven't actually seen Grudge, I was just speaking of general consensus. Ring 2 was just boring, and the scene with the deer was pointless and almost funny

i didnt see ring 2 yet .. but i saw Ring and thought it was really well done ..

and the Grudge was to me - everything any horror fan could ask for ...

unless Friday 13 part 50 : Jason Picks His Nose is what everyone really wants ..

No kidding.

I made a thread HERE about Ringu and Ringu 2, and why people prefer them over the American remake. Strange, but the people that said that they enjoyed the Japanese films more didn't (or couldn't) really put up a good argument as to why.

I, myself, did enjoy Ju-On very much, but I thought the American version was scarier in many ways. The shower scene and the video scene in The Grudge was much more effective than its Japanese counterpart. However, I did enjoy the structure of Ju-On more.

Let's face it. The Ring and The Grudge are good horror films, and should not be dismissed just based on the fact that they are "remakes".

I am going to give Dark Water a chance. From the looks of it, urgeok will, too. The rest of you can watch Jason pick his nose. :p

so will I :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

i have to add though - that after enjoying the japanese origionals i started buying all of the asian horror films i could find and they are all getting to be extremely samey.
The jerky ghost girl, the wet hair .. the scare tactics ..etc

The american touch actually gives it the slightly different approach thats keeping it a bit fresh for me..

I hope Dark Water is a decent adaptation. The Eye will no doubt be next.

well there is talk about a remake of shutter

you never said what you thought of this one ...

(it reminded me too much of Gothica)

i enjoyed it (and i haven't watched gothica)

Likewise here, and I couldn't agree more.

No kidding....:rolleyes:

I will. Especially because of Jennifer Connely. I have yet to see her in a bad movie.

career opportunities ring a bell ??

worth seeing for her tight white shirt .. but thats about it ..

Sorry to get off topic...but just as a sidenote i thought Gothika was perhaps the dumbest "horror" movie I've ever seen. Really bad.

You know..the previews just don't look that interesting to me. I still may see it, but right now it's at the bottom of the list.

download/rent/catch it on t.v.

Never heard of it

something about getting locked in a shop, run-of-the-mill teen film (john hughes is probably to blame)

with frank whaley i believe ...

hell knows

good jennifer connelly = The Hot Spot

meee-fucking-yowwwww !!!!!!

*cough...the hulk...cough*

i hear such a diverse range of opinion on this one ..
i really should watch it... the ads i saw - well, the CGI Hulk didnt look great ..

You don't actually think that scank is good looking.....DO YOU?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....SHES UGLY.

its one of those movies where your ass gets tired of sitting half way through the movie, ironically you think the movie is about to be over half way through because its freaken 6 hours long or some shit

There doesn't have to be a reason why something is horrible. It just is.

sounds like someone doesn't form their own opinions....

i have a 4 year old who is coherent enough to give a rationale for the things he likes and dislikes.

yeaer

dude where have you heard diverse opinions oppinions about the hulk, most people thought that it sucked ass( which it did). and as for the cgi it was absolutly fucking terrible i could do better cgi on my computer.

as for dark water im not going to see in theaters, hell im not even gonna rent it when it comes out( ill wait about 5 weeks and get it for free on MVP). it just looks really stupid to me, im not a big fan of ghost movies( hell im not a fan at all, i fucking hate them).

the grudge and ring movies werent really that good in my own oppinion either, the main reason i didnt like them is there was no fear factor. there wasnt any real scary parts or tension( which ive noticed alot latley in jap remakes). i didnt like the jap versions either for the same reason, i dont really like any jap ghost films. the all have the same features( and basiclty the same plot, with only a few minor differences)

There wasn't any real scary parts or tension? Look, I'll say this; The Grudge wasn't good because it was too disjointed (like the original) and there was barely any dialogue or character development. But to say that it (and The Ring) weren't scary or tense at points is just a ridiculous statement. I thought The Ring remake was incredible.

i NEVER jump at movies - not since i was little - and i've seen hundreds of horror movies.

the Grudge made me jump about 3 times and i knew what was coming each time because i saw the origional.

the 'out of sequence' flow didnt bother me - i had no trouble following it.

for people who couldnt follow the Grudge (or Ju-on) i cant wait to see what they think of the sequel !

Two things...

The first statement, even people who hadn't seen the original could see things coming, because the music gave it all away. Build-up, build-up, build-up... silence... SCARE!

The 'out-of-sequence', gotta tell ya... It was confusing for me. But not as confusing as Ju-On (probably cuz there were more folks in Ju-On). The thing is, did The Grudge really NEED the out-of-sequence narrative?

see ju-on 2 .. it'll make your head fall off then.

re scares - the music always gives it away - but there was always a well timed payoff .. and a lot of genuinely creepy moments ..
i'm not very easy to impress ...

The Eye had a couple of really creepy moments too ...

When that girl leaps at her shouting, "Get out of my chair!"

Scared the poo right outta my pants, into the toilet... toilet flushed itself.
