It's like he took the idea of the same family, but made two completely different sub-genres of films out of their story.
You guys are going to kill me: I haven't seen House Of 1000 Corpses :oops: . I'll try to watch it soon.

And BTW, did you like High Tension? I liked it but the ending is so over the top that it nearly killed the film for me.

HWHUT??? Go see House of a 1000 NOW!!!!!!!!!

sigh.

High Tension's ok. Nothing spectacular. I saw it once. That was enough for me. Nothing really grabbed me about it.

The problem is that it starts well, then it drags on and then the shitty ending appears.

truth. The first 20 mins are amazing. The rest, meh. Y'know it's basically Koontz' Intensity book right?

Scream

the first Scream is one of my comfort movies -- meaning I can fall asleep to it. If I'm sick on the couch with a fever, I wanna watch Scream. It's soothing to me, because I know it so well. I discovered it after it's theatrical run, and then fell in love with it on VHS. I was there opening night for Scream 2. It just amazed me. And to this day I contend that it's a ridiculously great film. As a hardcore fan of the slasher, I can only commend Craven's work for revitalizing the slasher genre (and inviting numerous imitators both good and bad) as well as kick-starting a trend toward more visceral mainstream horror once again after a blood-drought in the early 90's that leaned more toward EC Comics style silly horror. Just a totally essential film. Not enough good things for me to say about it.

5/5

I thought The Troll Hunter was a mockumentary? Maybe I'm thinking of a different Troll movie.

Anyways, I'm thinking of busting out horror VHS tapes after looking through this thread. Maybe do a Nightmare on Elm Street marathon, although I seem to be missing Freddy's Dead for some reason.
