Most horror flicks aren't scary when you're an adult. Child's Play fuckin' kills! Its a really dark flick compared to the sequels and Tom Holland's debut Fright Night (definatley more reminiscent to his scripts for Psycho II and Class Of 1984).
Can't wait till some asshole gets all cliche and posts that Devil Doll is better and Child's Play ripped it off :rolleyes:

Being that the main villain is an inanimate object, I could've gone for at least one character with substance.

That being said, the ending of the movie alone warrants at least a one time viewing.
You mean the Token Black Guy or the cube

The way I see it, EVERY horror film takes inspiration from some where, whether from recent movies, to Victorian literature, right down to scary fables and folk tales. So who cares, everything ripped off some theme or story at some point, you know?

Valid hammering, guys.

Chucky has seriously lost his scary steam now...and I doubt today's kids would be scared of him either.

So, after Child's Play completes its second stint of bashing here (I forgot it was up earlier in the thread already!), we now move on to a flick which tried to walk in the steps of Scream but got shunned by horror lovers and haters alike. But with such a strong and gorgeous cast, why didn't

Urban Legend

appeal to the average viewer?



Bring on the bashing!!:cool:

Maybe because Jared Leto is a himbo who can't act for shit and the 90s screamteen horror backlash had begun. I think the sequel is a great flick (I feel the same way about Final Destination). For me Valentine is the best film of this era.

He sucked with a capital S, thats for sure.

Anyone else wants to have a go? Get your boxing gloves on and feel free...;)

Maybe the fact that I can't remember a single detail of that movie proves it sucked.

I remember the beginning which I did enjoy, the pop rocks and coke fake death. The rest kind of blends together with I Know What You Did Last Summer and the like.

That's exactly it I think, at least to me it wasn't so much bad as just completely forgettable.
