I don't know about this movie... I guess I'd say it's highly over-rated because I heard a lot about how good it was and then I saw it and it didn't do anything for me. I think it was supposed to be an examination of racism in today's society, but it just came off as a movie about a bunch of stupid, ignorant people. All star cast so the acting is fine. There's not much action. Kinda boring movie overall that teaches us how the scum of society come in all colors and walks of life. If they were trying to say they average American is as racist and vile as the majority of characters in this movie, then I totally disagree.

Didn't like it, but it was well made so I'll be lenient on the grade.

Well Hello Fellow Horror Peeps! May I say what a pleasure it is to finally find a quality forum of in depth views and knowledge of my favourite genre of film!
I have been reading over last few weeks of peoples fave films, reviews and basic chit-chat and have to say have enjoyed every minute!
I'd like to join you all on this forum and give some insights into some of my movie experiences and hope that in time I will be as good as you lot at giving reviews!!

I reside in manchester UK which is great for a few reasons but I feel mainly because it is the home of Manchester United football club, I also get to visit two great Metal Clubs (another passion of mine is rock music) and it always rains and is often dark which is great weather to watch our classic horror movies to - so I'm sure I have bored you all enough now - I will embark on my recent forays into the world of film!

Most Recent Film

Sin City - 8/10 - without doubt a classic. I can say no more than what has been said already!

Irreversible - 6/10 - A hard-hitting french nasty film - found the rape scene quite disturbing but overall a neat movie. Loved the head smashing scene with the fire ext.

Skeleton key - 7/10 - Loved this to be honest. The end of the movie really made it for me. Quality.

The Descent - 8.5/10 - This movie made me lose half of my popcorn down the back of the chair!! Some great jumps - a great Brit Horror.

Creep - 7.5/10 - Another jumpy one - really worth checking out

The Red Monks - hmm, this was part of the Fulci collection but not made by fulci?? I'll be kind and give this 5/10 for the head in a picnic basket scene. Many better Italian horror films than this.

Hide & Seek - 7/10 - Unlike most on here I really liked it, I admit t obeing tired and not concentrating fully but I didn't work out the twist so was pleasantly surprised.

White Noise - 6.5/10 - Again another that is slaughtered on here but I liked it...

Ghost Lake - 1/10 - I really thought this was shite to be honest. Poorly acted, crap effects, was cheap - looked cheap and not in a good way. Does make a good cup coaster though.

Blood Moon - 2.5/10 - Cheap, Shoddy low budget slasher. Millions of better slashers out there - so why watch this?

Ned Kelly - Not a horror but an ok film hmm 6/10

Valiant - 6.5/10 - thought this was quite good but no where near as good as the Pixar classics

Incredibles 9/10 - Classic.

House of Wax - I really enjoyed this - I admit I have not seen the original but I heard really bad things and found myself pleasantly surprised. 7/10 (mainly for the Paris Hilton death)

Madagascar - 6/10 - was slightly dissapointed with this. An Ok film - wil lwatch again soon to make my mind up.

Kingdom of Heaven - 6/10 - Found this film slightly confusing - maybe down to my alcohol intake at the time hmmm

the Aviator - 6.5/10 - I thought this was quite good - particualrly liked Cate Blanchett's performance.

War of The Worlds - Thought this was good. Could have been better but was a good popcorn movie - 7/10

The Card Player - I adore Argento but this was too much of a hollywood film for me and where was all the gore?? Was dissapointed in this so sorry Dario - 5.5/10

Tonight could be time for Battlefield Baseball, Infection, Shikoku or NOTLD Remake...hmm

completely agree.

i really don't understand why it's being nominated for an oscar, but then again, i never understand why some films are nominated.

Heebie Jeebies

I don't know what in the world possessed me to rent a movie called "Heebie Jeebies" but god knows I regretted it afterwards. It's not flat out bad, but it's not good either. Just terribly mediocre all the way around. Some unintentional amusing moments resulting from the histrionics of the no-talents they got to play in this thing. All in all, lame and forgettable. Overall: 3/10

I, Zombie: A Chronicle of Pain

This movie was released by Fangoria, and as you all know Fangoria is pretty picky on the indies it chooses to release.
But this movie although had deffinatly an extremely very low budget. I thought the acting, and the storyline were all very well done. The gore was ok, pretty decent parts. The only real bad thing about this film is its pretty damn depressing. You end this movie feeling really bad for the charactor named Mark. Overall I think this movie was well dont and deserves nothing other than a
