It also did a LOT of things wrong. Where do I start? 1) pointless and cliched government intrusion (why? Just because it's in every other widespread-plague / disease movie). I think it would be worse if the government never showed up. I'd be wondering where the hell they were. Plus, IIRC, that's ex...

I didn't know one was a remake / Americanization of the other. I just let it all pass by me until, by freak coincidence, I saw the trailer for the sequel just a week before seeing thatguywiththeglasses.com's Phelous tear Quarantine 's ass apart: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/phel...

SPOILERS Below (I'm not playing with that whole banner-tape thing, it's messy) I watched it a couple months back... and I'm rather torn. It did one thing right that I desperately want to see other horror movies try: CAST REAL MOVIE ACTORS! This is literally the first new millennium horror movie I s...

Wow... second time today I'm forced to say something new looks like it could turn out to be slightly better than crap. The music seems like stock, standard, clicheshit new millennium but- I like the ghoulish transformation and the idea of the slowly darkening voice. Hope the fx are good. I would act...

I'm hesitant about walking away from the movie going, "they fucked it up... just at the end," but... James Wan fucked Dead Silence up several times throughout. And... I enjoyed most of that movie. This trailer makes Insidious look fun. Even a little fun in this sea of decay - the films we'...

I almost said Elizabeth Hurley but... Mr. Quackers (0:29) tips the scale in this guy's favor.

I didn't even like Carpenter's remake and all I want to do after this trailer is re-watch it.

(I assume the naysayers you refer to are all Carpenter fanboys.)

Horror has been a big bag of something worse than meh for a long time. As for this remake- Farrell is tasty (so, if I may say: this is an area where they could possibly claim superiority over the original) but this just seems like some kind of Cursed / Twilight / Jennifer's Body put in a blender con...

Agreed. Visually, it's all 70's. Though, the acting screams: "new millennium! New Millennium!" Watched it on Netflix earlier this year. Great first 2 minutes. Unfortunately, it's all downhill from there. Have to say then that I wasn't impressed. It's bad and all I can say in its' defense i...

People with no artistic ambitions and no vision. In your opinion . I would argue that Nispel has artistic ambition. His movies are very pretty and arty and, in the case of the TCM remake, even good. You have TCM on a pedestal that's way to high. It's one thing to like a movie, but when you reach a ...

What's a horror film you find scary and not boring? And was made before 1999? Erin Brockovich. I actually found the realism depicted in the film showcasing the fact that a company can poison our waters with no repercussion more frightening than any movie where a killer wears a childish mask. And I ...

Ha. Well, I decided to just get the Paramount Deluxe Editions of the Friday the 13th films instead of putting down hard-earned money for Farrands' "documentary." I'll know when I rent Disc 2 whether that's a mistake or not, but His Name Was Jason was no "documentary." It was the ...

Before anyone else replies, yes I know how childish that sounds.

The Britney Spears argument is moot. If her goal is to sell records, and she sells records, she's amazingly good at what she does. Whether you find her talented or not is irrelevant. You can't deny that she is good at something though, even if it's selling her sexuality. That makes her the same as ...

Not trying to speak for him, but I take it to mean that he's disagreeing with the statement that, "there wasn't a single filmmaker or horror film around which didn't / wasn't pad/padded with some form of either humor or something silly or stupid". This is completely wrong. While there may...
