    We agree on something, all the rules are flung out the window, question everything! Up is sideways, pi is exactly 3, the time to panic is now! :eek:

    If your getting at what I think your getting at about what we don't agree on I'd be curious to see what ur view on it is actually.......

    Obviously off topic in here though :-)

    The first one is one the most overrated films ever.

    It's just a joking reference to the fact that we usually are at odds in most threads around, that's all ;)

    I watched one recently that was really good for a low budget flick. The whole movie was shot in 1 continuous take which is impressive. Sadly I can't remember the name :(

    You seen the second :-)?

    You can't beat Halloween itself, but two other great films set in or around Halloween that are excellent..

    The Amityville Horror (the '79 one, not the remake).
    Trick or Treat ('86, best horror comedy of all time, massively underrated).

    The Strangers......do not watch alone!


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭Digital Solitude


    Which scene ha?

    The bed, (both beds) and the pliers are probably the worst two, not to give anything away


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    Kill list

    More a good old fashioned scary film than pointless gore...but the hammer scene. Nasty

    Most people tend to mention the let's say "underage" stuff.

    I was counting that as the second bed scene if you follow. What comes after is just demented.

    Now let's stop talking about A Serbian Film before I feel an urge to watch it again :)

    Does A Serbian Film even count as horror? Its just mental, super ****ed up.

    Mama is a bit over the top in places but its a really jumpy film
    Splinter is crap but it'll make your skin crawl watching it

    Never seen it have no wish to. It's supposed to represent a lot of Serbian history and the darker side of society. The soldiers and sexual abuse etc. The genocide.

    How far can humans dehumanize themselves.

    The main character is drugged and told to do terrible things. Then terrible things are done to him in this drugged hyper aggressive hyper sexual state. To children and adults and rape and kill them in terrible ways. Just like serbian soldiers did. The secondary character films it and then shows it to him.

    And the emergence of a very dark industry in Serbia after.

    I read about it. Could never never never never never never never ever watch it.

    This movie is a proof that something is wrong with movie-making business, and that people would do anything to be in the spotlight for 5 minutes. Foul and should no have been made.

    "Sinister" is worth a watch
    "House of the Devil" is good modern old school 80's style horror
    Rec and Rec 2 has freaky bits aswell
