Should Showtime's the Masters Of Horror series count? They're all stand-alone movies. But they're made for TV movies..... I second the idea of the Sci-Fi movie challenge!

Daylight spending/savings time mini-challenege: the day your clocks get set ahead/back watch 3 movies that have Time Travel as a central theme.

My prediction is that the Final Destination franchise will quickly turn into direct-to-video "porn for gore hounds". Complete with using the same actresses in multiple volumes (sometimes they'll even die more than once per film). Spoken lines will continue to get fewer and fewer...... "Gee, I...

What are ya', and audience or an oil painting? tough crowd..... tough crowd.

Different strokes for different folks I guess. I also hate, HATE The Blair Witch Project with a passion. I even sent my ticket stub to the Haxan company and asked for my $7 back (never heard from them). The film grossed some $140,000,000+ dollars in the US alone, so clearly my tastes in film...

And really thats the only reason the film was made. Made the audience question why it was made. The problem is that the film, sans philosophy, is terrible. The audience doesn't ask themselves "why is violence entertaining?" they ask themselves "Why haven't I gouged-out my own eyes to escape more...

Oh God, I still have to watch 3 more movies ..........

You're right. Night Watch isn't a very good film since it practically requires reading the book first. But the filmmakers also made unneccesary changes to the story....seemingly to make it more complex & convulted. It seriosuly needed a DI (designated idiot) & morpheus. Keanu: "What is the...

Well I had already read the book, so the movie made sense to me (as much sense as a Law&Order:Harry Potter could possibly make). If you haven't read the book? Well I guess its all just loud noises and pretty flashing lights after the opening bridge fight.

You're right, it is a low point for Pitt. And I don't know about you, but Sloth & Lust give a bad case of the heebie-jeebies.

I'm having trouble. Even titles that I'm sure nobody else in America has on their queue (VIY, the 30 year old russian horror movie), there is still a 3 day 'sittting on it" period in between them recieving a title and shipping the next one out in the mail. And they'll have me redirect all my...

So far this challenge I've been watching alot of 70's european films. And I've come to the conclusion that modern horror is alot tamer than it used to be in the past. Sure the blowtorch in Hostel caught me totally by suprise, but the Final Destination or Saw franchises? The violence seems almost...

I finished Lucio Fulci's Conquest. I can't count it as a horror movie because its sword & sorcery ( I assumed Lucio Fulci=zombie). But mein Gott I have never imagined such a movie could be made. Its like Make Them Die Slowly knocked-up Deathstalker and the resulting abortion was Conquest. More...
