Disliked:
1. ANYTHING by Hitchcock
2. The Last House on the Left
3. Cube (didn't know this was commonly liked...but seeing as everyone else mentioned it and I also hated it...)

Its ok...dont hate it either

thought "Vertigo" and "Psycho" was pretty good....but I can agree he is overrated....

Zwoti, do you get those emoticons from nearlygood.com?

those arent emoticons ...

that actually IS video footage of Zwoti

LOL...But...I still think YOU'RE awesome :D

Liked (Hope I don't sound too stupid!):

(1) The Village - A really fine film. I can only think the reason so many disliked this film is it's not quite what you expect, not really horror. The love story was quite touching and the acting was great.

(2) Children of the Corn - The first one was original and kinda creepy when I was a kid. The sequels are complete garbage though.

(3) Boggeyman - Not a bad film. Again, the problem with most of you was having high expectations this would be an AMAZING horror film. Not amazing, but enjoyed sitting through it


Disliked: (Oh gosh, please don't hurt me!)

(1) Frailty (uh oh, I'm in trouble) - A film that I didn't mind sitting through once, but definitely not something I'd revisit. Surprising to hear so many talk it up.

(2) Land of the Dead (digging my self a deeper grave) - This is one of those films EVERYONE wanted to be awesome, but I can come to grips with reality. Not very good at all. The Dawn remake blew this away.

(3) Dog Soldiers (I'm dead, I know it) - LOL. Slightly better than other werewolf crap like Howling and Silver Bullet, but definitely not the Oscar-quality film almost everyone here seems to think.

and one more just for kicks:

(4) Halloween - Alot of people just love the original. Again, I think it has to do with love of a director. But this movie never really impressed me, or scared me. The original Nigthmare on Elm Street was far better. (Going to buy a cemetery plot right now!)

Man... Newb and Bloodrayne cant let that Spawn thing go.. whats wrong with them? :D


Liked:
Virtuosity
Im Gonna Git You sucka
Moonraker


Hated:
Dungeons and Dragons (how anyone can not HATE this thing is beyond me)
Suspiria (thought it was horribly boring. 1 cool death in the whole thing)
The Grduge

disliked :

The Beyond: if this was supposed to be a 'mindfuck' then it was a lousy lay.

Suspiria : good music, well shot - but thats about it.

Anything by Full Moon. Their newer shit is so bad it affected how i look at the older ones.

- most other critically acclaimed horrors i like


Like:

The Grudge. cant understand any horror fan not liking it

TCM2 : i had no problem with it (except the credits at the end)

Darkness Falls, Cabin Fever, They, Wrong Turn ... thought they were all OK

Ghost Ship .. not bad at all - i dont understand why people hate it so much.

Liked:

SPAWN
Dreamcatcher---[i'm not trying to copy Rayne...but its the truth.]
Howard the Duck---[ you all can bite me on that one ]\

Disliked:

the only one i can think of that everyone else seems to love is

Napolean Dynamite[ i just couldn't get into it, but i'm willing to give it another shot ]

jesus man, how could you not like Napoleon Dynamite !
funny as shit

I don't know....it must have been my mood....i usually like silly shit.

Heh...YOU started it :p Don't worry about it...We're SUPPOSED to be embarassing ourselves here :D
I hate to admit it (even to myself) but, that's what happened to me...And you would not BELIEVE how much I was into Full Moon...I'll still stand behind Subspecies (my first Full Moon love), Puppet Master, and Demonic Toys...
Hey...I like Howard The Duck, too...Does that mean that I don't get to bite you? :D

And...I could never quite build up enough interest to even WATCH Napoleon Dynamite...

I prefer little nibbles.:D

big mistake

Don't listen to him....he's Canadian....his brain is frozen.

hell no - its been really warm here ...
last year was the worst summer in memory - this summer is pretty damn good so far.

short skirts and bare legs .....mmmmmmmmm



anyway - see the damn movie !!

Liked-

Virtuosity

House of 1000 Corpses- I didn't think it was great but it wasn't bad either, I did feel like it was ripping off TCM a bit but after they got into the house I let that go. I think Rob Zombie made everything his own way.

Lost in Translation- It seems to run to slow for everybody, I admit it does move slow but I don't have a problem with it at all, I think it's a great film.


Disliked-

Blair Witch Project- the majority here seems to hate it and rightfully so but everybody I know likes it.

I'm more than sure there's more but I can't think of 'em right now.

The first time I saw Halloween I didn't have the slightest idea who John Carpenter was, you could be right about other people but I highly doubt it. Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean that everybody that does like it only does because it was directed by Carpenter but hey ''To each his own''



I'm not sure why there's mentions of Land of the Dead, seems that the majority here doesn't like it.

i saw it at the theatre when it was released.
it scared the living shit out of everyone because no one had seen anything like it before.
no one knew who carpenter was - it was this film that made him a household name..

Exactly.....I don't like when people don't like something and then try to make-up a reason why other people do but everybody is entitled to their opinion even if it's ridiculous.

Ouch. I knew that adding Halloween to my list was asking for it. :rolleyes:

If you don't like it you don't like it no big deal, I know everybody isn't going to like every movie but I just don't understand why people have to come up with a reason why other people like something that they don't.

Understandable. But how does that movie seem to you now? The original Alien movie is much the same. Nothing like it before which made it scary as hell. But when I watch Alien today I still find it a great movie, even though it is quite old now. The Terminator is another old film that despite the (now) cheesy special effects I find still an amazing film. Halloween , for me, gets more retarded to me with age.

As far as my John Carpenter comment, if it doesn't fit you, so be it. But there are more than a few people out there go see, rent, buy whatever films he's involded with. I mean, there are people that seriously think films like Vampires, Prince of Darkness, and Ghosts of Mars are good films. Are you kidding me?

True the films you mentioned suck but Halloween doesn't and regardless of how effective it is today it's still a good movie. Everybody is desensitised these days that's why some of the older films that scared the hell out of people back then don't today.

Psycho for example was the first of its kind and back then people had never seen anything like it and it scared the hell out of 'em but if you show it to someone today there's a 98 percent chance it wont do a thing for 'em.

Here's another way to look at it......



you mentioned Alien and Terminator, those films were made to look and feel futuristic as if it were happening today. Halloween on the other hand was made to take place in '78 so that maybe one reason why the futuristic films you mentioned are still effective today and the films made for their own time period aren't.

True. Nice point.

Oh...I'm sure that Dustin and/or Shane will end up talking me into it at some point...

Here are a few Razzie award winners that I thought were OK or were good. How ridiculous is it that Jim Carrey won a Razzie for worst New Actor for Ace Ventura and Dumb and Dumber?

1. Howard the Duck-------this movie was great.
2. Over the Top, Rocky 4 (best one), Cobra (awesome bad guys).... You dont mess with people that bang axes together.
I think Stallone is gettin a bad wrap here. Worst Actor of the century??? I doubt that.
3. Cool as Ice
4. Stone Cold
5. Demolition Man
6. Showgirls--- werent as bad as people made it out to be.
7. Armageddon--- this movie was okay.

I have ALWAYS said that...Not only should it have been its own movie, but I think it should have had a sequel, too...

There were at least 4 sequels, baby.


:cool:

LOL...I meant a sequel to 'Season Of The Witch' if it had stood on its own, apart from the other Halloween movies:)

who do you QUOTE ?...why is the name missing....

my post right over his/hers

Howard the Duck is one of my guilty pleasures too

I agree there are far worse actors out there. Other than Stop or My Mom Will Shoot I cant really think of a movie Sly made that I didnt like.

Stone Cold. Wasnt as bad as a lot make it out. Lance Henricksen and William Forsythe are actually damn good as sleazoid outlaw bikers. Brian Bosworth wasnt that bad either.
