Anyone seen White Noise?
As an avid horror fan, I rented White Noise last night and wasn't disappointed.
Although it had the typical formula of a psychological horror with a psudo-predictable twist, it still made enjoyable viewing. I was left feeling fulfilled and not robbed of an hour and a half of my evening.
I think the use of everyday objects to invoke fear (my weakness is mirrors) and plausibility, make this a must-see movie.

Yeah. I saw it in the cinema, by myself, stoned... and was totally freaked out.
Thought it was marvellous.
Then I got it on DVD and was fairly disappointed. Puh. Was much better in the cinema
Ah well.

That's true for most horror (if not all genres) films.
Unless it's a special edition DVD or something

I actually found myself looking up EVP this morning because there's a brief description at the beginning and end of the film and I was curious as to wheter or not it was indeed real.
Stunned (as I'm a sceptic - it's one of my missions in life to prove/disprove parapsychological theories as I consider myself open-minded enough and not to have any conflicting opinions on things like "do ghosts exist" or "out of body experiences" etc)
(again, just trying to impress the ladies - can't tell I didn't finish school can you?)

While we're on the subject, who has seen the butterfly effect? Has the currently popular 'am i going mad theme' a la donnie darko... I thought it was excellent, and the shots of the kid at the beginning (with the knife) really make you jump!

I like films where the lead dies or doesn't quite get the love interest.
I'm working on a story which won't comform to the normal formula of traditional stories (it's not as easy as it sounds!)

if you like films where the lead dies take a look at "brother" with beat takeshi....japanese gangster goes to us to help out his small time crook brother.....
...oh crap! i gave away the ending!!

caps just irritate me... plus, your asked not to type all in caps before you post Donnie Darko = genius
Jeepers Creepers = crapdiy crap crap
and whilst we're on the subject of japanese movies, two to watch are battle royale, and Zatoichi... and if you want scary confusing stuff, watch ozumaki (sp)

Tut tut, lazy booger.
I've just signed up for one of those "pay a score a month and get unlimited films" things seeing as I probably watch a movie every night!
Much cheapness
