    I don't anyone would argue those points on Bone Sickness. What made it great was the retro, gross-out effects.

    Are you ****ing crazy Nedtheshed? BONE SICKNESS????? You actually rate that pile of crap, that is an abomination to filmmaking and decency? It is so badly made, acted and edited, that I laughed. Its utter ****e and an insult to the horror genre. Swamp Zombies was a similar sin against film. Have you seen that one? In fact there are many more similar examples. They look like films made by fans who don't know how to make films. They create a bad name for the genre.

    SOCIETY was a good film. Yuzna is at least competent.

    Not crazy at all and I thoroughly enjoyed bone sickness.As terrorfirmer(quality movie too BTW) said its the gore that make this movie.At least Brian Paulin tried to come up with an original idea for a zombie movie rather than just re-hashing the nuclear waste premise.

    The effects are what make this movie for me,un-ashamedly OTT and done with an obvious affection for the genre and not a CGI zombie in sight.

    Paulin is a huge horror movie fan and is just a nice guy.He posts on another forum I use and always answers questions when he can and keeps the other fans up to speed with his current project,Fetus.

    http://www.morbidvisionfilms.com/Fetus/fetus.htm

    His company,Morbidvision films www.morbidvisionfilms.com along with Toetag pictures-- WWW.TOETAGPICTURES.COM ---For The Better Of Mankind Productions and Andrey Iskanov-- www.andreyiskanov.com --are pushing the limits of the horror movie to breaking point and I for one say bring it on!

    But Brian Paulin doesn't know how to make films. He's a downright bad filmmaker, lacking in the basic skills. His poor execution of shots actually destroys any impact the gore should have. He couldn't frighten a mouse.

    Its not ment to frighten you,its gore for gores sake.Its what I want and love along with alot of the horror movie fans out there sick of the same tired rehashed ideas.
    When I watch a horror movie I dont worry about the shots or lighting,if you want that go and watch Saw or some such tripe.

    The essentials are listed already (Shining, Rosemarys Baby, Thing, Aliens, Exorcist). Blair Witch is definitely worth viewing. Also, The Abominable Dr. Phibes for the elaborate and ways in which his victims meet their demise.

    Anyone here seen The Exorcist 3- very underrated in my opinion. Great performance from the legend that is Brad Dourif (even in a strait jacket he's creepy as hell) and arguably one of the greatest jump moments of all time involving a long corridor. Anyone who's seen this knows exactly what I'm on about.......Oh, and my fav horror-comedy has gotta be Fright Night- pure class!!!

    I AGREE WITH HAVOC on Asian remakes not nessicarally being worse than the orignals. With all things being equal I would say a remake would be better, You dont have to read the script on a remake.
    But some remakes really seemed the same as the orignal and I thought that was a bad thing, like the omen.

    I watched Quarantine having never seen the spanish version and I loved that. I wonder if I watched the Spanish one now would I think the remake was crap, I dont think so.
