The My Bloody Valentine remake will be about as good as The Fog remake, but like an idiot I'll pay for this one too. Friday the 13th looks like it will be quality, and a real throwback to the early flicks where it's tits, gore and drugs.

I did a little happy dance when I saw Padalecki was in Friday the 13th. I had no idea, and he's my favorite Winchester boy after all. From the previews they're making it out for him to be one of the one's who makes it out, what with the whole "who took my sister, I'll find my sister, I found my sister" thing.

And yeah I'm totally sold on My Bloody Valentine 3-D because the concept is hilarious to me.

You know the other Winchester is in Bloody Valentine, right? :)

Does anyone even get killed with a meat cleaver in The New Blood, or for that matter, an axe in Takes Manhattan? I'm pretty sure the rest are accurate

edit: actually, I think the pickaxe on part II is wrong too. I can't remember anyone getting it with a pickaxe in any of the Friday movies.

The surly prophetic ship hand takes an axe in the back in 8.

I kind of like those boxes but I'm not in the UK and I already have my boxed set so whatever.

They're also somehow releasing part 3 in 3D on DVD:

Might be worth checking out..

I thought for sure that because of how this was shot it would be impossible to ever release in 3D.

Maybe Roy was possessed by the Jason demon baby like in Jason Goes to Hell. God that was retarded. I wonder if trying to explain Friday 5 had any influence in that.

The Demon Baby was pretty retarded. In the commentary the writer and director even kind of :ughh: at that. However, I love that movie. If you keep all the kills and the basic flow and just replace Jason with the random zombies it'd be cool.

Also get rid of that creepy shaving scene.

Wow, I really liked this movie, it was a hell of a lot of fun.
Had some great chase sequences and some cool kills. I kind of wished they had some more creative deaths though.
My biggest complaint was probably the ending when they revealed who the killer was, that was very disapointing.

I pretty much agree with all of this. If they really wanted to swerve us they would have had it be Harry Warden for reals this time.

I laughed pretty heartily at most of the kills, along with the screaming I was doing. The poor people behind us were probably pretty worried about me and my friend.

We got a nice preview for Friday the 13th too, so it was overall a great experience. I haven't had that much fun at the movies in a long time!

I about pissed myself when the dwarf got killed.

Back from an advanced screening and I can't say that I really liked it at all and I'm a huge Voorhees nut. It really is a different movie. I guess if I never saw any of the other 13ths I might have enjoyed it but...eh.

The writers obviously drew heavily from 3 and 4 which was a great idea, but I guess I just can't move on from those fun flicks I grew up with. This one is grittier and it's just not the Jason I grew up to. A fine horror movie on whole and the crowd seemed to enjoy it, but it just wasn't my cup of tea and it won't get a spot next to my boxed set.

So is this like the designated horror thread now? Cause I just wanted to recommend a great (Portugese? Spanish?) horror flick called Shiver that I grabbed off instant Netflix that was surprisingly good. I guess it's kind of a slasher flick.

Just putting this out there, "Graduation Day" is the best slasher in history. You can get it on Netflix instant queue and I have to recommend it. It's so loving funny all the way through.

Also I've been going through all of the Masters of Horror. While there are only like two or three good ones, most of the rest are just hilarious, like Jenifer.

It's a "Check your brain at the door" kind of Slasher, I happened to love it but a lot of people hate it.

Some fantastic gore effects though and the cast is decent enough except the lead chick who's pretty loving terrible.

I didn't think Laid to Rest was that bad, other than the acting by the lead girl and a few other characters. The deaths were pretty good for the most part and while the killer was kind of retarded looking, his mean spirited streak was enough for me to look past that.

Every single character was retarded and made the worst decisions. Also the killer was omnipresent/omniscient. I know, I know, SLASHER FLICK, but after BD hyped it up so hard it ended up being extremely disappointing. Though I laughed my face off at the Face split in half

Final Destination 4 was a complete piece of poo poo. I saw it for free and want reparations. One and two were good because they had a plot outside of just mindless death scenes. Three and four don't even pretend to try.

I'm kinda bummed I didn't see Halloween II but I kinda hated the first one so v:sigh:v

Sorry, I need something in between ridiculous effects shots. Plus some of the kills were somehow too over the top for me. I think II had the perfect ridiculousness of kills matched with tense plot while one was a legit scary horror flick.

Cold Prey is loving awesome. I just watched it and I'm in the middle of two as I type this. I'm not sure I dig that the killer is still alive after what he went through considering the rest of the movie(s) really avoid a lot of horrible slasher tropes, but I'm willing to excuse it. My only fear is that this is going to have a Haute Tension ending.

I sort of agree but I forgive 2 for having
1. Very well devolped characters
2. Some serious edge of your seat sequences.
3. Some nifty kills

Absolutely. This is the first slasher where there were almost no throwaway cannon fodder characters. Plus they didn't all make stupid decisions. It was a really fresh slasher movie. At least they gave some explanation for why he came back to life though. I appreciate that the movie is trying to stay in the realm of realism.

I just saw House of the Devil. Good movie, loved how it was shot. Really enjoyed just how eighties it was. But once the proverbial poo poo hit the fan it actually got a lot worse. It had a great build up and atmosphere, then a bunch of stuff happened at once and the climax was minimal. Plus, do they really expect me to believe bitch lived through a gunshot wound that went right through her skull with a gun that literally blew a girl's face off from that range an hour before?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This movie has to be the most boring piece of crap ever put on film. It has taught me that Rob Zombie not only fails at music, but also fails spectacularly at movie making also.


I think I'm the only person who couldn't get into "Let the right one in". A pet peeve about children in movies for me. Are kids dicks? Yeah, totally. But are they as cruel as they are depicted in these movies? Not really =/

I actually agree with you on both of these. I think all of Rob's movies are loving pathetic and Let The Right One In didn't do a thing for me but not for the reason you mentioned.

Anyway, what ever happened to that movie about the guy with cancer who sets up cameras in his house? It looked really scary and was getting some press around when Paranormal Activity got big and then...nothing?

Yes and no. The commercials absolutely make it look like Species with no hot naked chick but I saw an extended preview before MacGruber and it looked way more interesting than anything else I'd seen had made it out to be. Looked to be way more than just "monster breaks loose, kills some people."
