I first heard of this film but was clueless as to what it's content was. Everyone told me it was not anything someone should watch.

So you know, that means I had to see it eventually.

When I this I was thinking to myself, " This my be a good movie but it certainly doesn't look anything bad".

I thought that only within the first 10 minutes of the film.

When this movie was finished I thought I was not going to be able to sleep that night.

There are many things that I can't stomach from this film.

It sort of looks like a snuff film in how the camera invades the scenes with horrible realism.

I found this movie so disturbing. I honestly had much more respect for women after watching this.

And the time my girlfriend wanted to watch this with me because of the same reasons I wanted to see it. I felt like a piece of shit 'cuz I knew she would get really freaked out.

How else would you classify it?

Whether you thought it sucked or not isnt really relevant to what genre it would be placed in so where would you put it, if not in horror?

Jason X was satirical, in the same vein as Bride of Chuckey.


As for Wes, am I the only one who thought People Under the Stairs kicked ass?

thats some extremely weak satire ..(Jason X)
it didnt work for me on any level at all.
The only thing that i thought was remotely amusing was the guy who was run through with Jasons machette while jason was still frozen (even in suspended animation - he still kills)
but the rest was deplorable ..

Seed of Chucky is supposed to be extremely satirical ...lots of hollywood in jokes , etc ..


i thought that the people under the stairs was pretty decent..

Nope. I did too. I like a lot of Wes Craven movies. (Although I just saw Cursed and that wasn't much more than American Ginger Snaps with the hip young cast.)

Hills Have Eyes, Last House..., NOES, People Under the Stairs are all extremely good. Wes reinvented/redefined the genre on the first three and People Under the Stairs is one of the most underrated movies I can think of.

When you throw his next tier of movies in (Scream, Serpent and the Rainbow, Swamp Thing, NOES3, and New Nightmare.) there really shouldn't even be any debate about whether or not he is one of the top horror film makers of all time.

Of course, like all directors, he's done some less than stellar films as well, (Scream 2, Scream 3, Shocker, Vampire in Brooklyn or Hills Have Eyes 2), but by and large, he is one of the best horror directors working in Hollywood right now.

That part was great, but the best pat was at the very end when Jason is floating through space back towards the ship and then that black guy comes out of no where and space tackles him into the abyss. I laughed so hard I almost cried.
