TiBB's Halloween Countdown 2016

If you're unsure how this works, please see last year's thread HERE (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/topic-287968-tibbs-halloween-countdown--night-1---scream-1996-_tech-movies-amp-video-games.htm).


From 1st October on wards, we watch a different horror film and write a review in the run up to 31st October - Halloween. We score the movie out of 10 and at the end a rank down is completed on the films we watched based on the scores collected overall from all reviewers participating.

However, things will be different this year as instead of watching a new film every night, we'll be watching two films a week in the run up to Halloween starting from Saturday 1st October to Monday 31st October. The schedule will run as follows:

Saturday 1st October - The Hills Have Eyes (2006)
Wednesday 5th October- The Shining (1980)
Saturday 8th October- Carrie (1976)
Wednesday 12th October - Cherry Falls (2000)
Saturday 15th October - Jeepers Creepers (2001)
Wednesday 19th October - Trick R Treat (2007)
Saturday 22nd October- You're Next (2011)
Wednesday 26th October- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
Sunday 30th October- Halloween (1978)

This is due to a lack of commitment from the reviewers last year due to demand to review a film every night being too much. In total we will be watching 9 films throughout the course of October, every Saturday and Wednesday with the exception of the Sunday 30th October which will be the final film.

Please respond in this thread if you'd like to be a reviewer, as well as suggesting films we can watch throughout October 2016 (preferably films we didn't watch last year).

SUGGESTIONS WILL BE OPEN UNTIL FRIDAY 23rd SEPTEMBER. A POLL WILL THEN BE OPENED AND THE SUGGESTIONS WITH THE MOST VOTES WILL MAKE THE FINAL 9.

I suggest Night of the Living Dead (the original of course) :spin:

[Cal.]

:amazed:

I'm in for sure.

I suggest Carrie

The one with Chloe in or the one with Sissy in?

Thanks for all your interest so far :love:

[LukeB]

The one with Chloe in or the one with Sissy in?

Thanks for all your interest so far :love:

Sissy :love:

[Natalie.]

Can I review please? 2 a week sounds easier

[Cal.]

Of course :love:

[Jamie89]

I'd like to be a reviewer too please, and I'll suggest 'The Shining' and 'Poltergeist' (the 1982 one).

:amazed:

I'm in for sure.

I suggest Carrie

Yes! Can't wait for this, one of my all time favourites :lovedup:

[T*]

Final Destination 3 is a MUST

[Cal.]

Final Destination 3 is a MUST

Are you reviewing this year?

[Jamie89]

If I can only pick one by the way it'd be 'Shining'

[Cal.]

You can suggest as many as you want. They'll be a poll round to decide the top 9.

[Natalie.]

I suggest Hush (2016)

[Jason.]

Here for this. I'm in.

[Jason.]

We should have the first Final Destination (we had 3 last year and the first one is better imo)

[Cal.]

I'll put it in the suggestions (and I've added yours Natalie)

[Jason.]

I'd like to be a reviewer too please, and I'll suggest 'The Shining' and 'Poltergeist' (the 1982 one).



Yes! Can't wait for this, one of my all time favourites :lovedup:

Yeah I agree with all of these. Good taste. :clap1:

I prefer older films as opposed to recent horror which sucks.

The original Carrie btw not the crappy remake lmao.

[LukeB]

Also, The Crazies

[Jason.]

Halloween and Halloween 2 double feature on October 30th like last year is a must!

[Cal.]

I've added Cherry Falls to the suggestions as I doubt I'm ever going to get around to watching it otherwise.

[Jason.]

I've added Cherry Falls to the suggestions as I doubt I'm ever going to get around to watching it otherwise.

lmao here for this.

I also suggest Fright Night (the original)

[Lostie!]

We should have the first Final Destination (we had 3 last year and the first one is better imo)

FD1 is the best (of the 3 I've seen) :clap1:

[Cal.]

I preferred 3. They're all good besides 4 though.

[Cal.]

~BUT LETS NOT gET OFF TOPIC~

[Jason.]

The Sixth Sense by M. Night Shyamalan?

[Jason.]

The People Under the Stairs

Did we have Childs Play last year?

[Cal.]

I can't remember reviewing it. Let me check.

[Lostie!]

Oh, Trick 'r Treat!!! It's honestly the perfect film to watch near Halloween :flutter:

[Jason.]

Oh yeah I forgot about that ^

Another anthology, Creepshow?

[Cal.]

We didn't watch Child's Play.

We did watch The Crazies, Halloween and Halloween II but if the demand is there for them again it's fine.

[Jason.]

28 Days Later? (did we have it last year idr)

[Jamie89]

Yeah I agree with all of these. Good taste. :clap1:

I prefer older films as opposed to recent horror which sucks.

The original Carrie btw not the crappy remake lmao.

I was going to suggest Attack The Block too and thought of you :laugh: (but I'm still planning to watch that soon so I don't want to watch it again in October!) But yeah I love older horror films, there's something more eerie about them, mostly. They probably just seem grittier because of the lower quality filming lol, but new ones that are glossy and shiny don't usually have the same appeal to me.

[Lostie!]

28 Days Later? (did we have it last year idr)

There's a link to last year in the OP :laugh:

Doesn't seem to be there though

[Amy Jade]

I'm game!

[Cal.]

I'm game!

Good!

[Jøsh]

Is Nerve a horror?

[Amy Jade]

I'll look over my ratings on IMDb and post suggestions soon!

[Headie]

What about 'Circle'

JAlpm2oRzy8

It's basically a psychological thriller version of Big Brother/Survivor :laugh:

[Daniel.]

I was gonna suggest but you're still baiting me so id rather not

[T*]

Are you reviewing this year?

Yeah, I will!

[T*]

YAWSkYqqkMA

[Cal.]

[Tom4784]

Last year's countdown felt like it was five minutes ago.

https://66.media.tumblr.com/10dacc6b3486004e898aec4aed8ac77b/tumblr_ncr1qn4xzc1qbbb7uo1_250.gif

[Cal.]

Ikr.

[T*]

:love:

[Babayaro.]

28 Days Later and The Mist are musts!

[Cal.]

Do you want to be a reviewer Marc?

[Babayaro.]

Yeah, sure!

[Amy Jade]

Howl (2015)

[Cal.]

Added and great!

[Babayaro.]

The Devil's Rejects!!!

[Jamie89]

YAWSkYqqkMA

28 Days Later and The Mist are musts!

These suggestions :amazed: :clap1: The Cube especially is an absolute classic imo!

The Mist though, I love it and it's a great film and everything but...

it has to be one of the saddest endings of any film I've ever seen, I don't know if I can go through that turmoil again :bawling:

(not a massive spoiler btw but probably avoid it anyway if you haven't watched it before)

[Babayaro.]

The first time I watched it, I was honestly so shook by the ending. I kind of love it now though :/

[Babayaro.]

The Blair Witch Project

[Cal.]

All added :clap1:

[Daniel-X]

I'll suggest The Uninvited.

I'd like to be a reviewer as well thanks missy. Xx

[Cal.]

Added :love:

[Daniel-X]

Sorority Row (la remake) and You're Next too!

[Babayaro.]

Creep (2014)
Dawn Of The Dead (2004)

[Cal.]

Bump!

[Tom4784]

I'd recommend Hush, it's rather good. I'll also be a reviewer. I couldn't commit to one film a day but two a week should be fine.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e3/Hush_2016_poster.jpg

[Jason.]

I was going to suggest Attack The Block too and thought of you :laugh: (but I'm still planning to watch that soon so I don't want to watch it again in October!) But yeah I love older horror films, there's something more eerie about them, mostly. They probably just seem grittier because of the lower quality filming lol, but new ones that are glossy and shiny don't usually have the same appeal to me.

Yeah I agree. The grittier feel adds to the atmosphere of the films. It's like when you watch the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and it just feels so much different than the remakes or recent films because it has that gritty/dirty feel to it which contributes to the creepiness of the film. I love it.

[Cal.]

Hush was already suggested Dezzy, and I'll add you in as a reviewer :love:

[Niamh.]

The Blair Witch Project

I can't understand how people thought this was good/scary

[Drew.]

I'd be up for this, been watching horror movies more regularly recently

If we're suggesting any horror movies then The Others (2001), Wolf Creek (2005), The Orphanage (2007), The Hills Have Eyes (2006) & The Texas Chainsaw massacre (2003) are all great

[Lostie!]

The Others

I was thinking about suggesting this, brilliant movie :clap1:

[Jason.]

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)

[Jamie89]

The Birds :flutter:

[Cal.]

All added and added Drew as a reviewer<3

[andybigbro]

Annabell
Sleepwalkers
The haunting in Connecticut
Jeepers Creepers
Wrong Turn
The Devil Inside
The strangers
White noise
Paranormal Activity
Nightmare on elm street

Haha I love horrors

[Cal.]

Would you like to be a reviewer Andy?

[andybigbro]

Would you like to be a reviewer Andy?

I would have but I don't think I'll be able to commit! I'm gonna be buried with uni work this semester so might not have the time! :(

I'll definitely keep up to date with this though and try and watch the films too.

[Cal.]

Okay, no problem. :)

I've added your suggestions!

[andybigbro]

Thanks! Sounds like it will be a lot of fun :)

[Babayaro.]

[REC]

[Cal.]

Added!

[Jamie89]

I'm not sure how well these fit in with the theme since they're probably more comedy than horror, but "Death Becomes Her" and The Rocky Horror Picture Show" if they're allowed :hee:

[Cal.]

What does everyone think re: Jamie's suggestions?

[Babayaro.]

Add them to the poll, I don't mind lol. Personally I wouldn't vote for them though :laugh:

[Jason.]

No non-horrors!

But you can add them to the poll.

[Jamie89]

(I mean 'Rocky Horror' has an alien transvestite cannibal and 'Death Becomes Her' has Goldie Hawn but whatever :whistle: )

[Lostie!]

I think Rocky Horror counts just fine, campy comedy horror is still horror (and it's such a fun movie :hee:) :laugh:

[DrunkerThanMoses]

I am going to attempt a 31 day 80s horror movie challenge, try and watch a 80s horror flick each day.... I said attempt.

[Jason.]

(I mean 'Rocky Horror' has an alien transvestite cannibal and 'Death Becomes Her' has Goldie Hawn but whatever :whistle: )

Add ha!

I think Rocky Horror counts just fine, campy comedy horror is still horror (and it's such a fun movie :hee:) :laugh:

Hmm, you have good taste when it comes to these sort of things so I'll take your word for it. I've never seen it :laugh:

I am going to attempt a 31 day 80s horror movie challenge, try and watch a 80s horror flick each day.... I said attempt.

80's horror movies. :lovedup:

Which ones are you planning to watch?

[Babayaro.]

The Devil's Rejects is an absolute must tbh

Everyone needs to vote for it!

[Cal.]

22 days left!

[DrunkerThanMoses]

80's horror movies. :lovedup:

Which ones are you planning to watch?

Ones I have not seen yet. They include

Ghost Story
Killer Party
Maniac
Anguish
The Majorettes
Nail Gun Massacre
Return to Sales Lot
The Mutalator
Final Exam
The Initiation

[Babayaro.]

The Green Inferno
Resident Evil

[kirklancaster]

I'm not sure how well these fit in with the theme since they're probably more comedy than horror, but "Death Becomes Her" and The Rocky Horror Picture Show" if they're allowed :hee:

Both technically come under the 'Horror' category - I would say - and both are good films.

[Cal.]

I'll add yours in a minute Jamie then :love:

[Babayaro.]

As Above, So Below (2014)

[Jason.]

Ones I have not seen yet. They include

Ghost Story
Killer Party
Maniac
Anguish
The Majorettes
Nail Gun Massacre
Return to Sales Lot
The Mutalator
Final Exam
The Initiation

Those are good picks. Killer Party, Maniac and Final Exam are all brilliant.

[Cal.]

I mean 'Rocky Horror' has an alien transvestite cannibal

I never signed the rights for my autobiography to be made into a movie?

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Those are good picks. Killer Party, Maniac and Final Exam are all brilliant.

Well I will let you know what I think of them if I can get through 31 films

[Cal.]

Good luck DTM! I wish you were doing this last year as we did 31 films then!

[Jamie89]

I never signed the rights for my autobiography to be made into a movie?

:joker::joker::joker:

[Cal.]

16 ( :omgno: ) days to suggest films!

[Babayaro.]

Blade 2

[Cal.]

13 days left to suggest films. Shocked at how quickly it's gone.

[Amy Jade]

The Bone Tomahawk
Piranha 3D
Cherry Falls
The Descent
Dog Soldiers
The Green Room
Maniac (remake)

[DrunkerThanMoses]

If I was to recommend some films

Society (1989) as its brilliant wired and over the top

Night of the Living Dead 1990 version. I actually think it surpasses the orignal and is the best in the dead series.

Day of the Dead as out of Night, Dawn and Day I think its over looked, it has a creepy and dark theme to it, and the isolation to the story makes it great. Plus its gory like Dawn.

[Jake.]

I'd love to do this

[Jake.]

Idk if it has been suggest yet but Evil Dead (remake) is great

[Jake.]

Quarantine as well

[Cal.]

Added all your suggestions and added you as a reviewer Jake.

9 days left to suggest films!

[Cal.]

4 days left to suggest films !

[Jake.]

Wicked, looking forward to this

[Jason.]

There's so many great suggestions, it's going to be hard to narrow it down to just 10 </3

[Cal.]

Ikr</3

[Daniel-X]

I'll be fumed if You're Next is snubbed again

[Cal.]

2 days left to suggest films!

Voting will open on Friday night.

[Dollface]

I hate Martyrs not because it's bad but because it's so bleak and feel sick watching what happens to Anna :(

Sorted, I wouldn't have voted for either of them anyway so it changes nothing

I hope people don't snub the older films and vote all the ones that have come out in the last two years just because they're modern D:

I think so, tbh I kinda went through a phase where I watched a lot of Italian giallo films I am not sure which ones I seen. I blame zone horror they did like a season of them a couple of years back.

I might give it a rewatch to remind me as reading the plot to it I dont recall watching it, yet according to imdb I watched it at the end of 2010 when they did the season.

[Lostie!]

Omg, I'm so sorry! It's just I was busy tonight so I just wanted to make sure it was all sorted and organised ready for tomorrow! Hope the films still interest you!

[Drew.]

Sorry I didn't vote, haven't been on for a few days. The list looks great though, a few films I've seen but really want to re watch and some I've never seen but needed an excuse to

[Drew.]

Would have voted for REC and wolf creek though </3

[Jason.]

A good set of films :clap1:

I haven't seen You're Next so I look forwards to it.

I watched the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake last weekend lmao so I'll just post my review of it when the time comes as opposed to watching it again.

[Babayaro.]

Meh at those films, bar The Hills Have Eyes, Jeeper Creepers and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

[Babayaro.]

So I take it the reviews are to be made any time before the next movie's day???

[Jason.]

Meh at those films, bar The Hills Have Eyes, Jeeper Creepers and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Halloween shade?

[Jason.]

The Shining is good too Marc so sort your ****ing opinions out!

[Jake.]

no blair witch :nono:

[Jake.]

yes @ THHE/TCM though

Havent seen some of them like The Shining so that'll be good

[Jason.]

Pleasantly surprised at some of the films there. It's a bit slasher heavy but it's what the majority chose!

Slashers are the best tbh. Supernatural / found-footage are really boring and they've taken over the genre the same way the remakes took over the 00s.

[Babayaro.]

I guess so

[Lostie!]

Supernatural > slashers

[Drew.]

no blair witch :nono:

Can we get this movie in, i completely forgot about the blair witch

[Lostie!]

Slashers are trash. Sorry, but I only spill tea not lies

I love Scream 2 and Urban Legend but on the whole I much prefer a good ghost story to most slashers :spin:

[Jake.]

Blair witch should be part of a six chair challenge or something, it's a Halloween must!

[Jason.]

Slashers are trash. Sorry, but I only spill tea not lies

Hmm, no you don't

[Cal.]

Shook at the controversy.

[Babayaro.]

Can we get a wildcard in?!

[Jason.]

Halloween 2 to be shown on 31st? :amazed:

[Cal.]

Absolutely NOT.

[Jason.]

Blair Witch was soooo boring so can we stop making out it's the horror film of the 90s please.

(Presuming you're talking about the original and not the recent one because I haven't seen that yet)

[LukeB]

Can we have a wild card for the 31st (it's the actual halloween day)

[Babayaro.]

A cheeky flash vote to decide which horror perches the top 10?

[Jason.]

Here for Da'Vonne Final Destination

[Jason.]

Has anyone seen The Sixth Sense?

If you're a fan of ghosts/supernatural/thriller I recommend it. It's one of the few I like.

(I'm speaking in general not wildcard)

[Babayaro.]

I might watch a horror soon. Shame Amazon prime isn't that great for them though.

[Jake.]

Blair Witch was soooo boring so can we stop making out it's the horror film of the 90s please.

I'll just skip the Shining if that's ok? I ****ing hate that movie and Shelley Duvall's shockingly bad performance.

I couldn't watch a film like Hills Have Eyes at night :joker:

[Cal.]

The Hills Have Eyes (2006) - 9/10

The Hills Have Eyes has always terrified me since it was released. It's really disturbing, graphic and gory but it actually tells a story and delivers well developed characters that I care about which sets it apart from other films like it. I think it's one of the only remakes that's actually quite decent. It's amazingly written and the soundtrack is terrifying to me. The way the film is shot is also frightening and everything about it is executed perfectly. The mutants are absolutely terrifying. I really felt for the Carters and THAT sequence in the trailer is probably one of the most brutal sequences of events in any film I've ever seen. Vinessa Shaw's character Lynn is one of my favourites in horror and her death is honestly tragic. The journey the surviving characters go on is amazing and doesn't feel forced. The film feels a bit slow at first but when it gets going it really gets going. The climax is absolutely fantastic and really pays off. The only reason this film doesn't get 10/10 is because of some of the slow parts and because of the rape scene (sorry I really don't like it). But yes, an amazing film, really well made and I'm really glad it made the list for Vinessa Shaw alone :clap1:

[Amy Jade]

I shall rewatch after Casualty

[Drew.]

Will watch this on Monday or Tuesday as theres no football this week, can't wait though, great movie

[Babayaro.]

Not those spoilers!!!

Jks i have already seen it x

[LukeB]

The Hills Have Eyes (2006) - 7/10

I did enjoy the movie but not until around the rape scene where the father got burned to death,Lynn got murdered and the mother got shot but I did find the rape scene a bit uncomfortable to watch but the scenes after that were amazing. It was a really slow start that I did consider turning off at one point. The characters were okay and beast :love: I loved that dog, talking of dogs I didn't appreciate seeing the other dog dead on the floor. I do applaud how disturbing and graphic this movie is which made it into a good horror movie.

[Lostie!]

I'll get this watched on Tuesday :spin:

One of my favourite horror movies tbh. It really keeps you on the edge of your seat. Full of suspense and graphic horror, it's a must watch. The acting is really good also, always had a bit of a thing for the main guy winkwink.

I GIVE THIS FILM 10/10

The Hills Have Eyes (2006) - 9/10

Love this film! Everything about it is near perfection and the characters are relatable and well thought out. Some people might complain about the slow build up, but I, who doesn't even think it's that slow tbh, found it really helps set the tone of the movie. The 'attack' scene is still pretty uncomfortable to watch after seeing it so many times, but i'm glad the director never held back as it really allows the viewer to feel the same sort of terror as the Carter's (and Doug lol). Speaking of Doug, I genuinely believe he's one of the most underrated characters in the horror genre. His story arc is great. On a side note, the scene where Big Bob gets attacked is so chilling. "Daddy" :worry: :worry: :worry:

[Jason.]

Will watch THHE tonight

[Amy Jade]

The Hills Have Eyes (2006)

The first time I ever watched The Hills Have Eyes I was home alone. I do that quite a lot to try and scare myself and it rarely happens - I pretty much grew up watching horror because my cousins are order than me and I spent a lot of my weekends at their house.

For me The Hills Have Eyes is one of the best remakes of all time, very rarely do I feel the original movies are surpassed but Alexandre Aja (who I think is one of the best horror directors around) really did something special with THHE.

I loved the subtle build up after the intense intro, the scenes such as Lynne finding jewellery in the gas station and spotting something shiny in the surrounding hills keep the viewer on edge just enough to let you enjoy getting to know the characters but not letting your guard down.

The trailer home invasion is brutal and I am so glad the director kept it that way and didn't dumb it down to get a lower certificate to allow the teen audience in like a few movies were doing around the time.

I found Aaron Stanford and Vinessa Shaw to be the stand out performances here along with a dementedly brilliant turn by Robert Joy as Lizard. My only slight complaint would be that Dan Byrd as Bobby is slightly irritating at times. Another scene connected that I liked was Doug comforting a dying Ethel, I had a lump in my throat during the scene and felt the acting was on top form.

The scenes of Doug going to find Catherine were way more graphic than I expected and I thought the sets of the abandoned testing houses were especially great and I loved how you honestly were rooting for Doug, in some movies I find that you can start to root for the bad guy because the victims are so stupid it gets hard to care for them. I was especially glad to see Beast get revenge for Beauty - I suspect most viewers were happy to see him snarling and ready to pounce Big Brain.

Simply put I think the movie is amazing and essentially I cant think of one thing I would change (well maybe Beauty and Lynne surviving but that'd ruin a few things I love about the movie) so I rate The Hills Have Eyes very highly.

10/10

[Drew.]

Hills Have Eyes 2006 10/10

Really glad everyone seems to be enjoying this

This movie brings back so many memories. It was the first horror movie I owned and one of the first horrors I ever watched. It's probably one of my favourite horror movies too. I've always found the horror movies I watched at a young age have gone on to haunt me and scare me more than any horror movie I watch now. Watched this for the first time on DVD when it first came out about 10 years ago and I hid behind a magazine for most of it. Said to my mum last night I couldn't remember why it was 18 rated before it started but now I can remember why.

It's a pretty unique horror movie, can't think of many other films I could compare it to. The characters are great and the fear they showed throughout was really well acted. It has the perfect mix of graphic scenes, gore and suspense. The mutants themselves are freaky as ****, I know he played a minor role but the one that was dragging the body in their town with the neck brace thing on is the one that haunts me the most and those two mutant kids asking Doug to play with them was one of the most haunting scenes. Think there might be one or two movies that could rival this but overall I think this could be hard to top.

[Will.]

The Hills Have Eyes 9/10

Such a great film, one of favourites I've watched in recent years. It's really graphical and very entertaining throughout, the whole setting and feel to the film is brilliant. Some of the scenes are really gory and it does scare me sometimes, they really are disturbing. The build really helps the film and works well, I didn't really get bored of it. The scenes with Doug are really haunting and It makes you root for him so much, I loved the testing houses, really creepy. The characters are really good and they did a great job with them. Overall a fantastic movie, really enjoyed it.

[Jason.]

The Hills Have Eyes

I'm just going to admit it - I think this is probably the first time I've actually watched this film in full? I've seen various scenes on TV years ago but I've never actually sat down and watched it properly. The only thing I remembered was that it had Claire from Lost in it. Now having seen it, I absolutely loved it. God knows why I've been holding it back for so long but it's definitely one of my favourite horror remakes, even though I've yet to see Wes Craven's original. Alexandre Aja did an amazing job with this as he did with High Tension and I also learnt that Wes Craven returned for the remake as producer which I'm sure contributes to how great of a remake this is.

I don't really mind slow burners as long as they serve a purpose and this film does exactly that. Similar to Wolf Creek, I think it sets the tone for the film and makes room for some character development as it allows us to get to know the characters before they eventually get picked off. I only found the first ten minutes boring but even then we weren't introduced to any of the characters at that point so that doesn't really bother me. Speaking of which, one of the reasons this film is so good is because of its characters. I liked pretty much the whole main cast and I even found myself feeling sorry for the character's when they were getting their demise, particularly Lynn and Ethel. Doug's character was brilliant and Aaron Stanford did a good job playing him. I love how gripping the film was and how you were actively rooting for Doug at the end whilst at the edge of your seat at the same time and the ending makes it all the more satisfying. Him and Lynn are my two favourite characters even though I liked them all. Bobby was quite annoying at times but nevertheless I still appreciated him.

For a film that takes place mostly in the daytime as opposed to the night, I love how suspenseful and tense it is. It doesn't need to rely too much on the death scenes in order to be creepy and suspenseful - it just is. Although my favourite scene in the film would probably have to be the trailer attack during the night, the combination of the sheer brutality and sadism coupled with your empathy for the Carter's makes it an all in all strong scene for me, although the rape scene was uneasy viewing. I think the part that sticks out the most for me is after when Doug finds his wife's lifeless body bleeding out and then watching her mother die moments later. (</3)

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It has a good plot, good acting and a really good atmosphere. It's like Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets Wolf Creek meets Wrong Turn. Like I said at the beginning of the review, god knows why I've been holding this one back so long but I will definitely be checking this one out again. I'm going to watch the Original too.

Lynn should have lived</3

I thought she was going to be the final girl tbh. She had that final girl feel about her character so I wasn't expecting her to die and I was surprised she did and Brenda didn't. But then again I like that it's not so predictable with who's going to live. I even thought Doug would be amongst the first ones to die.

[Amy Jade]

I had seen the original so had a feeling Lynne was going to die in the trailer but Vinessa sold her enough that I second guessed those thoughts - in the original she's not at the center of the action as much and you don't warm to her like you do in the remake.

Another thing vastly superior to the original are the cannibals, the original ones weren't even scary they looked like cast offs from Mad Max and Ruby was gorgeous which was odd considering she's meant to be inbred.

[Jason.]

Is the original good?

[Lostie!]

I'll watch and review later tonight.
