Feast 2 - 6.5/10
The first one was way better, but it was still a fun splatter fest.

The Happening - 2/10
Had to rent it to see how bad it was....well, it lives up to the hype. :rolleyes:

Did they fix the boom mic showing up all the time on the DVD?

Tonight I watched -- the midnight meat train

All in all, I was impressed. Great story, good directing (I loved the camera work), and a nice refreshing feel to the slasher genre. I thought this movie had some nice classic qualities with a new age twist.

Few bad points. I didn't really like the protagonist very much; I just didn't believe him at times. Also, there was a little to much drama in the movie for me (got bored with a few scenes), but overall, the movie kept me entertained. The story was a little slow building up; however, sets up a spectacular ending.

overall rating 8/10

Not bad at all. Not terrible good, but an enjoyable October night film.

6/10

[REC] is one of the best horror movies I've seen.

Right at Your Door.

A drama about a predicament: What if dirty bombs went off in your city, and your spouse was exposed. You've sealed yourself in your house to avoid contamination. He or she shows up at your door. What do you do?

Completely gripping and suspenseful film.

Agree. I just love the story.:) I just wanted to show it to one of my friends who get married last year and they seems just made for each other type. But they left Bangladesh & now happily living in Toronto, so I missed the chance but soon I'll recommend them to see this movie asap. Btw, they always like to blame me for suggesting the weird, gruesome & disturbing films which they felt very uncomfortable to watch!.:D

Are you scared?

This was one major Saw rip off, not that good either.

4/10

Ah I see fortunato, I missed that back there. When you say mostly lackluster is it because it really does pale in comparison or is it because you've seen it all before?
