The constant "7 days" whispers were really unnerving on headphones!

lol fuck off

Scared?...

Two ounces lighter?...

I very, very rarely watch horror flicks. For the most part, the acting is shit and the story is terrible...

Problem with horrors is they tend to follow the same tropes to get a scare, I much prefer the old slasher flicks like Friday 13th / Freddy / Halloween cos of the thriller aspect, even Scream and they tend to be better the more they lean to the build up and suspense of thrillers. Ya know, same kinda vein as The Shining.

You get some good, some bad. Sinister was decent in recent years but it is a very hit and miss genre. Hoping this holds up cos The Ring was one of those films that kinda moved the genre and gave it some fresh legs, I very much liked it and when she zoomed out the TV I freaked the fuck out. It's like when Saw came out, it wasn't a particularly great movie, with not so great actors, it was just fresh. Same goes for Final Destination.

What I liked about The Ring was that it wasn't in-your-face horror all the time. It managed to get under your skin and make you feel uneasy about the whole thing. Silent Hill 2 (the game) did the same thing very well.

Don't get me wrong, there are some good ones. I tend to gravitate more towards the horror/thriller films that enter the uncanny valley. A couple great examples would be Suture (1993) and Tale of Two Sisters (2003). Check these out if you haven't...

Will do, not seen either

Plus with horrors, every once in a while you get something like this turn up and it leaves you dribbling -

And black comedys like Severance, The Cabin in the Woods and Dog Soldiers !

The basic rule is, as we've all established, - if a Horror wants to be good it needs to crossover.

true.

also: i dont think this will be any good.

There's a reason I don't do horror films, I'll not be watching this!

The director's imdb site leaves me biased.
I don't have high hopes for this production.
The japanese first movie was very well done, unsettling and disturbing, like Eraser said.
I think it managed that by being some kind of vague about what was going on and the reasons for that. An aspect I can't find in the majority of modern Murrican horror-movies. The Conjuring and Sinister are two good exceptions.

Good post ^

jesus, terrible.
