Any you're familiar with, like or hate, I'd like to hear about.

Constantine- Kinda boring action flick dressed up with some horror elements. Not a must see IMO.

Dead End- Not bad but not as great as some think IMO.

I haven't seen the rest, thanks for the list.:) I just added Taxidermia to my Netflix on-que- I'll probably watch it this afternoon.:)

Thank you Sistinas. I seem to remember Constantine getting clobbered at the time, so I never watched it.

I like A Snake of June.

This really looks good! :)

Taxidermia is totally insane, well worth a watch, but not always the easiest film to watch... Lady Vengeance is a solid revenge film. Constantine is total crap.

Thank you Straker. I think I will definitely skip Constantine.

LOVED Lady Vengeance and Dead End. HATED Lunacy. REALLY want to get my hands on Hansel and Gretel... Also some sleepers to note:


The Signal (2007)
Bug (2006)
Laid to Rest (2009)
Splinter (2008)
Infestation (2009)
Evil Aliens (2005)
Wizard of Gore (2007)
Mulberry Street (2006)
Crazy Eights (2006)

Thank you Chrono. I've seen some of the films you mentioned, but some I've never heard of.

The Call Of Cthulhu (2005) - the best adaptation of Lovecraft ever...Totally perfect dispite its low budget...I can't wait for The Whisperer in Darkness to come out..

Taxidermia is amazingly twisted and darkly funny. I recommend it.

Hope you find stuff you like. :D

Thanks guys. I always appreciate recommendations beyond the mainstream.:)

I just finished this one and I think EC summed it up perfect.

A Snake Of June (2002)...I didn't like it much when I saw it years ago.

Sympathy For Lady Vengeance (2005)...3rd & final installment of Park Chan-wook's awesome vengeance trilogy. Beautiful film, loved it.

Dead End (2003)...no. 86 in my list of Best 100 Horror films of 00-09.

Next Door (2005)...no. 46 in my list of Best 100 Horror films of 00-09.

In My Skin (2002)...no. 85 in my list of Best 100 Horror films of 00-09.

Lunacy (2005)...An insane film about insanity. Though didn't make into my top 100 but surely it can be in my honorable mentions. Loved it.

The Loved Ones (2009)...Pretty entertaining. Liked it.

Haven't seen the others...even some of them haven't heard of before. Thanks for pointing out...added to my Torrent download list.:)

Thank you Roshiq. I think I'll use that list of yours as a reference point as I think the HDC one might have been shelved.

Well atleast I know Dead End. It's an okay movie :)

the loved ones was an interesting movie... nice to see a female killer for a change

I'm with R'yleh Ale that The Call Of Cthulhu is absolutely amazing a must see, full of impending dread. Made for passion and love not profit. Roll on this years "The Whisperer In Darkness" can't wait.

I have to say I hated Lady Vengeance I'm sorry it was a complete let down for me.

Taxidermia is hugely recommended but very grotesque.
Mulberry Street is very good worth checking out.

I don't think I could handle "Lunacy" though, it sounds too much like "salo" being based on De Sade's writing and all that.

I seen the first five minutes of that film because my father owns it and he's a huge fan of Keanu Reeves, but seriously. After those five minutes, I wished I never wasted that short amount of time.
