I had really high expectations but it didn't quiet live up to them. Yeah sure it has its creepy moments and the tension and atmosphere were great but other than that, it was nothing to write home about. I also found it bland in some parts. Vacancy and You're Next did it much better imo.

One thing I will give the film praise for is the line, "Because you were home" - one of the most chilling lines uttered in horror cinema.

It has 5% on Rotten Tomatoes

I mean bad reviews don't really influence whether I watch a film or not but I'm surprised by how low it is. I'll probably just wait until it's out online as I'm usually picky with what I watch at the cinema.

I wasn't totally blown away by The Strangers either, and had heard so many good things about it, but ultimately, it was pretty crap. I'd be willing to watch it again though, and see if my opinion changes.

Pretty much. Everyone I know who'd seen it was going on about how it's one of the scariest films ever made (lightweights), but outside a few eerie moments here and there, it didn't really grip me nor have me on the edge of my seat. I didn't like the ending either.

I'll probably give it a watch again in October.

Unfortunate!

I'm a fan of the 2009 one tbh and it's getting close to 10 years since then so I was ready for another.

The F13th reboot will be looked at again when the game comes out I think, if the games does well of course.

It's annoying they've shelved it because of Rings not doing so well, they're completely different.

It's been sent to Sony and Microsoft for testing so I hope they stick with Early 2017. Did you play beta?

I loved it, it was such a fun game and it genuinenly had me on the edge of my seat. I was playing as the sporty girl and I was with a nerdy girl and we found the phone so we went outside to fix the fuse box and all I hear is Ki, k,i ki; ma, ma, and in the distance we see Jason run into a cabin but we get the phone working and call the cops and get joined by three people so there are five of us getting ready to leave this cabin and Jason shows up and we all start screaming and yelling as Jason breaks down the door and starts swinging his axe. If the other players are as into it it's honestly such an amazing game!

I had no idea about a F13th game but I kinda like the sound of it.

Yeah, I've seen As Above So Below since making that post and it was a solid watch. I've also seen Descent a long time ago but don't remember liking it as much. I thought that one was alright. I might give the 2nd one a chance anyway though.

It's honestly great fun if they don't deviate from beta too much.

One thing I perticularly liked was the mic system, there are radios on the map you can use to communicate with other players but if you decide to talk and Jason is around he can hear you. Which is good for killing off annoying people who play with music on or the sound way too high on their TV because Jason will find them quick

I'm not normally bothered about reviews either... but they're so bad. And it's not just the low score, the actual write ups just make it sound terrible. I'm going to wait till it's online too.

So what's the deal with this new Halloween? Is it supposed to be set in the same continuity as 1, 2 H20 and Resurrection or is it another reboot?
