looks scary, huh?
i can't wait.

DON'T WATCH IT ALONE!

this is the first movie EVER that made my clutch my moviegoing partner. and i f'ing looooooooove scary movies.

Extreme.

uh oh.

really?

i always watch scary movies alone.

That girl on the right is probably too young for me to say 'whoa, hot.'

So I won't.

nice call jennydaystar! i own this movie. love it

i think you might be the reason it's in my queue in the first place. i can't remember.

there are only four movies that scare the hell out of me:

a tale of two sisters
ju-on
saw (i'm not proud of this one)
e.t. (i'm a wuss and that little creature scares me)

it's a great movie. just scary.

thanks for the warning.

chances are, though, i'll still watch by myself (because i tend to think i'm invincible ) ....and will be kicking myself after it's over. (or hiding under my mattress.)


i'll be sure to report in.

yeah, yeah! let me know.

have you seen ju-on? i saw it with friends and was so scared, i made one of them spend the night with me.

i heart japanese/chinese horror.

off topic, but kim jee-woon has a new movie coming out called 'a bittersweet life'



i cant wait

and it is not THAT scary

i haven't seen it. no.
but i will likely give it a chance if i really like 'a tale of two sisters'.

i did see the grudge and HATED it.
but, well, i guess that's not surprising.


i did rent 'ringu' once. and started watching it....
but, shut it off before i let it really get started and returned it because it was 2am and i kept hearing things outside and freaked myself out.


but it's back in my netflix queue.

ju-on is so much better than the grudge. the grudge resorts to too many 'gotcha' moments while ju-on just streches this feeling of dread over the entire movie....

i trust ya scotty. i'm gonna go with it.

I have a question, and in asking the question, there may be a SPOILER, so I would warn anyone reading this not to, if you're at all worried -- does Ju-On at least have a plot? I don't feel the american version has much in the way of plot. Or an ending.

not a spoiler question, but it does have a plot.

the american versions of these j-horror movies try to make american movies out of them, and in doing so, its my opinion that the american versions lose something.

i liked the japanese version of dark water for example, but the american one was just terrible and inserted scenes that made the movie just not make sense.

I understood your point -- I've heard it made before by many people, and not just on this board.

Now please, answer my question -- does it have a plot? I'm pretty easy, when it comes to movies: they have to really suck for me to dislike them. Grudge really sucked, but in only one way -- the ending left me feeling unfinished. I didn't mind the atmospherics, if they had only led somewhere.

I mean, The Ring at least had a plot...

yeah, i guess i didnt answer your question...sorry....

yes, it has a plot, but it very loose (and arguably loose on purpose)

Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election

I'm not sure why I torture myself with this stuff. I can't help it. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

... Bubble.

i watched 120 days of sodom, cannibal holocaust, and the other "cannibal" movies with my roomates. that's some disturbing shit.

bum fights and ghetto fights is some graphic shit too. if you can find it, watch em.

^ did you read imdb's 50 most disturbing films list or something?

That's what I thought after seeing the preview on another Tartan Asia release...

Therefore, it languishes pretty far down my Quere...after watching The Yards & Cisco Pike last night, I'll probably get skipped over for all my newer releases once again, ending up with Friday Night Lights and (maybe) Comic Book Villians...
