Damn no YouTube at work. I'll have to check when I get home. Thanks Drop!

i really liked it. thought it was very scary. ordered it on demand and had the sounds cranked all the way up so you can hear the little knocks and creepy stuff.

i thought they did a really good job of building up the scary factor throughout the movie.

the only thing i didnt like so much was the ending- any of them. thought the one where she snarls and grabs the camera was a little hokey and not really fitting the subtle type of scary-ness that marked the rest of the movie.

of course, i also like most of 'the ring'. honestly thought the grudge was dumb. why keep going back in the house.

of course you could say that about PA.....oh well.

Ahhhh, cant wait!!!

The first one was probably the worst movie I've ever seen in my life. Will not be seeing the second. All these movies that are supposed to be scary just seem so fake.

i like the "that movie wasn't scary at all" and the "that movie sucked" crowd. look, horror movies don't scare me either. But movies like this, come closer than any other kind of horror to making me feel somewhat uneasy. And it's because although i KNOW this stuff isn't real, it's shot and presented in a way that makes you think...."damn what if something like that actually happened to me?"

Now when the hell is the last time you watched Freddy or Jason and thought..."damn what if that happened to me?" I'm guessing somewhere around the ballpark of never.

i guess people prefer every horror movie either be about a slasher chasing some dumb blonde up the steps when she should be running out the ront door, OR a godamn torture movie like Saw and Hostel. Boring, recycled crap imo. (and that's coming from someone who actually enjoys the Saw franchise)

listen, take Paranormal Activity for what it was. A horror movie about possession which was shot with like no budget. This movie is in a horror category shared by movies like Blair Witch and the Fourth Kind. They're NOT MEANT TO PRESENT THEMSELVES AS BEING REAL. If you thought it was supposed to be real and then thought it was stupid because you found out it wasn't...well, lolz, the jokes on you numbnuts.

I think people just get pissed because it's shot a different way that's intended to make it FEEL more real, and then when people are given the creeps by it, they want to say things like "that movie was stupid, and pointless, and not scary". And oh yeah....it gave you the heebie jeebies more than you'd like to admit too huh? Yeah i hear you "it's not scary" crowd. You're probably the ones who jumped in the theater/your living room more than anyone. lol, i mean i enjoyed it and you don't hear me saying "oh my god that movie was soooooo scary!!!" It wasn't scary, it was creepy. And it was creepy because of the way it was presented to the audience.

So for that crowd, if THIS type of horror doesn't entertain you....my guess is that the horror genre overall isn't your slice of pie. Because as far as this genre goes, this is one of the more creative, interesting, and original movies in YEARS.

no doubt bro

I personally rented it but just could stand how long it took for anything of "freakish" ness to build up through-out the movie. If pt. 2 introduces it right from the beginning, then it might be more of a worthy pleaser.

We all need an October that's full of hype.

Never saw Fourth Kind and don't want to. That **** would creep me the **** out b/c it has actual video footage from the events. **** that.

although this movie didn't scare me too much i did think it was really good. the stuff was pretty freaky but i thought some people in the movie theater were being overly dramatic. that being said good scary movies are really hard to come by nowadays. hopefully they don't tank it with the sequel, we all know how those usually go.

Waaaaaaaaay OT, but this thread makes me wonder why no one started a "Human Centipede" thread. I guess no one saw that disgusting movie

I thought the Human Centipede sounded like a really scary concept. And then I watched the trailer and realized that the people were not sewn together the way I thought they'd be.

You couldn't pay me to watch that movie

[Skinz4Life12]

i heard they are making a sequel.........

whoever made this movie is seriously sick in the head
