I've really been wanting to see Deadgirl...that's a real compelling premise for a horror flick, there.

And while I certainly had a good time with Dead Snow, it's true that the film doesn't have an original bone in it's celluloid body. But it's a cheap splatter-flick, who cares?

Hey guys, guess which movie I just saw? Copperhead. *SNRK*

I saw May yesterday, and i loved it. I have to agree it is one of the best horror films ever. Evil dead (1981) is another one of my favorite horror movies. When i saw it as a kid i almost shat in my pants. I still leak a little whenever i watch it.

Deadgirl has been sitting on my PS3 for a few months now, I've been kind of avoiding it.  From all the reviews I've read of it it's definitely quite dark and quite twisted, I don't know if that's just hype or whether it's really that bad.  I have a huge, huge problem with watching any kind of rape in film and so I'm not entirely sure whether or not I want to watch it at all.

Les Yeux Sans Visage (Eyes Without A Face) is a fantastic and old French horror film.  This doctor is trying to save his daughter whose face was horribly disfigured in an accident.  As a result we always see her wearing a mask.  I thought it was quite fantastic and the music is spot on.

Triangle is more of a thriller than a horror film but has got a few horror elements.  It's got this time loop thing going for it and I thought it was quite fantastic.  I'm not entirely sure if it'll hold up on repeat watches but the first time I watched it I was quite impressed by how everything was handled.

I also watched The Orphanage, that Spanish horror film from a few years ago that's considered to be utterly fantastic.  I thought it was utterly disappointing in almost every aspect that counts.  The concept is that this woman is starting up this orphanage again and she has this adopted son who has all these imaginary friends.  Spooky things happen and then her son disappears and the woman thinks that the ghosts are the ones who have him.  She then has to play a game in order to get him back.  The premise is really cool but the film plays on all the wrong elements, it spends too much time to get rolling and then the pacing is completely erratic.  Also I think that the non-supportive spouse is one of the single most annoying horror cliches that immediately come to mind along with no cell-phone reception and inept cops.  The ending to the film is, like all thriller films comes with a twist ending that's absolutely stupid and ruined whatever the film had going for it.

And finally I watched a wonderful French horror film called Inside.  It's about this pregnant woman who on Christmas eve, the day before she's supposed to give birth, who is terrorized by this woman who seems to know her quite well.  If you know anything about this new wave of French horror films you can expect there to be a healthy amount of gore.  A trend in horror that I find annoying, especially with most Hollywood garbage is that they have to amp up the tension to an insane degree and then show something shocking, which while effective for making you jump a little bit isn't all that scary.  This movie almost never does that; every scare is terrifying.  My girlfriend ended up watching the last 30 minutes of the film and was visibly trembling the entire time.

Eyes without a face is indeed a great movie. But i would rather call it a 'gothic' movie than horror movie. I loved the last scene - after the the girl whose face is disfigured releases the dogs and the dogs attack the doctor- where the girl lets go of the doves from the cage and walks away with a dove sitting on his wrist. Classic!

'Inside' sounds very interesting. I'm going to watch it, right after i watch Deadgirl. I've been meaning to watch Deadgirl forver
