5. Let the Right One In is a masterpiece
Edited on Mon Jan-12-09 11:18 PM by EastTennesseeDem
in every sense of the word, but it's not as scary as you may think; it actually aims for the heart instead of the screams (except for one scene in particular. You'll know it when you see it.).

20. That sounds a lot like Jacob's Ladder actually
I liked that movie a lot, even if there were some disturbing deleted scenes...

And I watched them at like 3 o'clock in the morning!

34. "Let the Right One In" is great!
Fantastic movie!! The girl in it is a real '30 Days of Night' kind of vampire, but with an emotional side. See it if you get the chance!!

I was super sorry I missed the 'Name a Great Movie We've Never Seen' thread a few days ago!! Nobody mentioned:

Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter

Kissing Jessica Stein

Mivtsa Yonatan - the Israeli-filmed version of the Entebbe Raid!

21. I must have been possessed by him in the early-to-mid 1990s
when I did a chaos-like radio "talk" show (he did the concept first, yet I was unaware of it at the time.)

It was immensely fun though :D

17. Saw it Saturday, terrible.
The idea was fairly decent, but the execution sucked.

The acting was terrible, as well and it just fell apart.

Plus, way too many cliched spooky children moments.

23. He's ok, but his accent like changes four times throughout the film.
I don't know. The movie was just too complex for its own good.

Plus the way they glossed over the holocaust was pretty pathetic.

25. I pretty much laughed my ass off at the trailer...I'd actually be more likely to see....
My Bloody Valentine 3. Both trailers played before Milk. The Unborn looked stupid as hell. At least MBV3 knows it's camp.

28. Of course it's stupid. Sometimes that's the point.
I've only seen # 1 btw. Didn't even know there WAS a #2. # 1 was a pretty darn fun, unassuming horror movie though. Even if it was stupid.

30. Sure, it's all formulated regurgitation, like King putting similar 'intractable' foes...
in one lonely cut off ho hum "Tell me what you want!" hamlet after another filled with foibles, a protag and a boat load of Langolier/Tommyknocker gibberish

29. FWIW, my 13 year old daughter saw over the weekend...
She told me she laughed at most of it. Said the scary parts were very predictable and the "monsters" were tacky.
