Okay, I'm no film expert and I certainly don't watch thousands upon thousands of films every year... however....

THIS FILM IS QUITE POSSIBLY THE BIGGEST PILE OF ABSOLUTE CRAP TO HAVE EVER BEEN MADE.

I'm not exagerrating, far from it, this film is ATROCIOUS!!! It makes NO sense and the story is so ******ing retarded.

DO NOT GO TO SEE IT

You have been warned

[Niamh.]

I want to see it now just to see how bad it actually is

[Marc]

Honestly... If you have the money & the time to waste, go see it for hilarity. IT IS AWFUL.

Snakes on a Plane and Piranha look like Academy Award winning films in comparison!

[Pyramid*]

Waits for someone to come along and moan that they made a thread about this ages ago!:joker:

It is meant to be pretty dire all the same.

[Roy Mars III]

it was great.

A 8.2 on imdb as well

looks like you are in the minority here :idc:

Have you seen it? It's truly dreadful.

[Roy Mars III]

Yeah, I saw it. Thought it was hilarious

[Kazanne]

I really want to see this,is it a horror? I was told it was,wont bother though if it has comedy in it,i wanted something on the lines of Hostel etc.

[Marc]

It is hilarious Kazanne BECAUSE it's just a total and utter joke of a film.

It has mythical ******ing creatures in it. It's ******ing stupid :bored:

Go watch it if you don't savour your life x

[Locke.]

8.2 on imdb = It is more than likely a very good film.

Not into that sort of thing myself though

[Roy Mars III]

It got a 8.2 on imdb. Better than the Hunger games with that score

[Bollo]

Oh I saw the trailer for this and thought about going to see it... It's not one of those that could turn out to be so bad it's good at all, is it ?

Or is it more like...why did I just waste two hours of my life and a fiver...I have to go to the pub immediatly to erase what I just saw?

[Marc]

8.2 is a joke, it can't have many people voting on it.

I swear to god my head might explode, I have such strong feelings about this I could cry. :joker:

[Jake.]

It has a 92% rating on rotten tomatoes so i will probably go see it :idc:

[Marc]

-has a panic attack-

[Roy Mars III]

It's Joss Whedon, of course it's good

[Marc]

Joss Whedon drew the line at Buffy/Angel.

This sh*t is just wrong in every possible way.

[Roy Mars III]

well not according to the 92% that liked it

[Locke.]

8.2 is a joke, it can't have many people voting on it.

[Mystic Mock]

Im not surprised it's ****, it has Joss Whedon involved lol, all his projects are overrated.

Snakes on a Plane is amazing, what the hell Marc? :bored:

[Marc]

I refuse to live in a world that rates this film high.

[Jake.]

But to be fair, Insidious rated pretty well, and look how sh*te that was...

[Marc]

I just... can't... -ugh-

[Roy Mars III]

But to be fair, Insidious rated pretty well, and look how sh*te that was...

Insidious was pretty bad, this one is good though

DO NOT GO TO SEE IT

You have been warned

I went to see it on Friday and its amazing.

You obviously just didnt understand the toungue in cheek nature of it. Its made by the makers of Buffy The Vampire Slayer And Angel which is also very over the top and have a wicked sense of humour.

I reccomend this film to everyone, really, really good.

I literally couldnt tell where the film was gonna go next lol.

91% of top critics gave it a good review so it cant be that bad lol.

Think you must have gone in expecting a serious horror film an just didnt understand the humour.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

:bored: Don't try to lecture me on how to watch films, I've seen plenty. I get Whedon and I'm a big fan of Buffy & Angel but this film was laughable and ridiculous. I wasn't expecting a serious horror because the trailer gave away that it was some messed up film so I went in expecting nothing and was hoping the film would take me somewhere, but it didn't it was entirely random and not worth a hour and a half of my time and the money.

Like you said in your original post "Okay, I'm no film expert and I certainly don't watch thousands upon thousands of films every year... " LOL

If this was an episode of Buffy would you have thought it was good?

Yeah but I said that so as to not come across as some arrogant film critic who thinks they know everything, because I don't. I understand the notion of tongue in cheek horror but this film did not satisfy any enjoyment for me.

Looking back at episodes of Buffy I do sometimes cringe, but I guess to me it doesn't seem AS farfetched as this movie did. Was just expecting it to bring a little more, possibly more gore/death :shrug: I think what added to my dislike was the use of some covert governmental organisation kind of bringing ridiculous mythical creatures to the world and letting them kill random kids.

This film was pretty much identical to a Buffy episode which contain military operations, zombies/demons/werewolves which is why i loved it. Buffy actors even popped up in it.

Have you ever seen "The Evil Dead" or "Drag Me To Hell"? It was very similar to those.

Oh and in regards to the teens being watched it was very Big Brother lol

Can you honestly say this movie didnt make you laugh? The whole cinema were pissing themselves...In a good way.

It reminded me of those films which i love :)

I appreciate that it ticks all your boxes, and in a way it should do the same as me because I loved Buffy, BB and HG (which is similar with 1 survivor, people running it etc) but I just didn't, I don't know why.

The way it was promoted and advertised made it seem like a serious and scary movie but it was just kinda laughable, but not in a good way at all. Was kind of like "am I really seeing this?" [example: the japanese girls with the ghost/frog] I mean wtf was that :laugh: It probably needed to be longer or more character building for me to make a connection.

Anyway, I realise I have exaggerated when making this thread but that was because I had literally just got home from seeing it and I needed to vent my fury at the film :D

[Iceman]

This movie was worse than a giant turd being thrown in your face.

This is probably why you didnt enjoy it though coz you went to the cinema expecting to see a scary movie and ended up watching a complete different film.

Dont know how you can complain about the mythical creatures and stuff though if you're a fan of Buffy? Its pretty much a big budget Buffy episode.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

:nono:

I dont understand how anyone can hate it that much when so many people love it.

Why did you dislike it?

[Marc]

That's cos people have different opinions LOL

Like JH95 said above, the critics gave good reviews for Insidious and that was awful IMO and that WAS trying to be serious. Critics reviews aren't all that

Not great.

Its a Hit.


I will buy it on BluRay with 7.1 Sound

Top Film

Not great.

Thats still better than FD5, Paranormal Activity 2 (etc) both of which were better than insidious by a mile.

[Pyramid*]

:nono:

It's called personal preference. The same way some people love Lady Gaga, some don't.

It would be a hell of a boring world if we all like the same things.

If you think Film critics are bad then check out the Games critics? they score very good Sonic Games really low, yet score the Call Of Duty's and Fallout 3 really high yet there not a patch on Sonic The Hedgehog.

There's other examples aswell but that's the worst I could think of.

But I will go back on topic now, I do agree with you that Film critics are not the best at judging Films quality, I remember they scored Drag Me To Hell really high yet when I watched it and I thought it was rubbish.

Go watch it if you don't savour your life x

haven't got round to seeing it yet Marc,might just wait till it comes to Sky,I expected something gritty and not mythical creatures:bawling:

And away from the critics, Drag Me To Hell was a very controversial Film because of it's content.

:nono: Drag Me To Hell is an amazing film imo!

[iRyan]

Anyone who says it's an awful film doesn't understand the tongue-in-cheek nature of it and that it's SUPPOSED to be utterly ridiculous and funny. I guess some people are just taking it too seriously.

Exactly!

As the op said they went with expectations of a horror flick and instead was met with a very ott black comedic horror/fantasy film.

I would happily watch it again :)

[Jake.]

Drag me to hell was ****e.

[Marc]

I understand that. And still think it's awful.

[Patrick]

Why is it Horror Films suck these days?

This is like the 90s when the genre was dieing out, at least Scream came along and saved it for a while - now it's gone again.
Honestly, It's a shame too. It's just these constant films that try and be all scary and realistic and stuff, the trailer shows off 90% of the entertaining parts, and that's that.

[Jake.]

Paranormal Activity 1 did what scream did, created a huge and undeniable buzz and helped the genre become popular once more.

[Patrick]

Yeah definitely, but then sense then other films are trying to do this whole fly on the wall, barely any storyline, not much attention to characters type films - and think that's scary.

[Tom4784]

I thought it was excellent, it was well written and I've never seen anything quite like it. I liked how it deconstructed the cliches of the genre while at the same time sticking to them and making them believable. I really loved the references and nods to other horror films as well.

I wish that the zombies didn't dominate the film so much though, as I thought the other monsters were more interesting. I liked the nods towards The Ring, Hellraiser and I.T. Also the Unicorn bit made me cackle.

All in all I thought it was great, one of the best horror films I've seen.

[Tom4784]

Also Drag Me To Hell was a very fun film, they managed to make a good horror film with only a PG-13 to work with which isn't an easy task.

Totally agree.

Im hard to please aswell i tend to pick apart films but i seriously loved this movie.

[Jake.]

watched it tonight. Was bad yet good at the same time lol

[IheartBB]

Did it really take 31 comments until someone finally mentioned the satirical undertones of the film?

[GypsyGoth]

I saw this today, I was expecting a normal horror, I was surprised. I thought it was fun and clever plus a bit scary at times.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

its amazing shut up

(i bumped both threads lol) LOL sdlnfsdf xxx lol

[Mystic Mock]

The problem is with Joss Whedon he turns everything into some cheesy moment with a bit of comedy to it, his only attempt at going really serious (Angel) didn't last for very long without Buffy because it was really dull imo, Joss Whedon is very limited in what he can do and he has some of the most irritating characters in TV history so this Film doesn't shock me with it's content tbh.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

[Omah]

I've just watched it and it was NOT THAT GOOD ..... :nono:

Condensed down to an TV episode of a series, it would have been OK ..... :suspect:

Even then, there would have been so many suspensions of disbelief that credibility would have long gone ..... :bored:

[Benjamin]

I loved this film. :laugh:

[Shaun]

suspensions of disbelief in a comedy-horror? no never

[Ammi]

..I meant to buy this for my OHs birthday...I've ended up buying Cabin Fever though..I'm not sure what that's about..maybe they're practically the same thing....I'll have to check out if I can chage it....

..I guess Cabin in the Woods is a good movie as well and he's not going to see it.....

[Omah]

suspensions of disbelief in a comedy-horror? no never

Surprisingly, yes ..... :pipe:

Cabin Fever :laugh2:

[Jake.]

:amazed: Cabin In The Woods is great but nothing like Cabin Fever :laugh: If you're gonna watch Cabin Fever with him be aware

[smeagol]

yep cabin in the woods sucks, a silly stupid film

[Niamh.]

He's going to be wondering what your obsession is with films about Cabins :laugh:

[Ammi]

..what does that mean Jake..be aware..beware..?...

..I tried googling movies with 'Cabin' in the title but it didn't list them, which is probably just as well...it could be a very expensive dvd....

Thinking of watching it tonight, What is it actually about? And is it a horror?

[GypsyGoth]

Thinking of watching it tonight, What is it actually about? And is it a horror?

Yep it's a horror, it's a kinda clever one though, and it's isn't that bad gore-wise. Like I think it's mild in horror terms.

I think you'll really enjoy it if you watch it.

[Jake.]

It's a really clever one (In The Woods), full of great twists and turns.
