That's also infuriating. To top off this list; awful translations.Ack wrote:It bugs me about as much as production companies bringing over foreign films but re-editing them before releasing them to the domestic US audience.
that's how I'd describe the movie. One awesome kill and then an hour and a half of pretty meh.prfsnl_gmr wrote: High Tension (2003). It was a dull slasher film that isn't good enough to be ruined by a spectacularly stupid ending. Despite one funny/interesting kill, I do not recommend it.

It is still mostly better than the Dean Koontz book it blatantly ripped off. Having read Intensity, I thought the movie did an excellent job of sticking with the basic formula and improving on some of the issues I take with Koontz' writing(I just can't stand his writing, no matter how much I want to like it). But man, that ending...prfsnl_gmr wrote:High Tension (2003). It was a dull slasher film that isn't good enough to be ruined by a spectacularly stupid ending.

The concrete saw at the very, very end was pretty fun too, but I just did not care for this movie at all. The insanely stupid ending on made it worse.noiseredux wrote:that's how I'd describe the movie. One awesome kill and then an hour and a half of pretty meh.prfsnl_gmr wrote: High Tension (2003).

What I can't fathom is why in the Hell I've seen The Nun.prfsnl_gmr wrote:Ack wrote:...and what's worse is that a Spanish film, The Nun, basically ripped off the Haute Tension ending two years later.
I cannot fathom what would cause someone to rip off the stupidest ending in all of horror cinema...

It's not a nunsploitation film, unfortunately. It's a bad "ghost" film..."slasher" film...who knows what kind of movie it is! It's shit is what it is.prfsnl_gmr wrote:I thought you were a big nunsploitation fan...Ack wrote:What I can't fathom is why in the Hell I've seen The Nun.
When a thumbnail version of the poster looks like there are pubes stuck around the eyes of some 'menacing' eyes in the background, that doesn't help either.Ack wrote:I find often that when a film poster includes mentioning what else the Producers worked on, it's not a good sign.

The Thing wasn't very good, and a lot of it is from how much the producers cut from the practical effects and instead focused on CG in post production. It really kills the mood of the movie because the monsters transform from the hideous puppets in John Carpenter's The Thing into goofy looking cartoons.prfsnl_gmr wrote:I am trying to work through the rest of my horror DVDs, and I have the following queued up for this weekend...
The Whip and The Body (1963)
Cube (1997)
Freddy vs. Jason (2003)
The Thing (2011)
I also have The Classic Slasher Collection, which features Don't Look In the Basement (1973), Scream Bloody Murder (1973), The Severed Arm (1973), and Silent Night, Bloody Night (1972).
What should I watch next?
