Just went and saw Paranormal Activity. It was good shit!

I'm pretty sure it was a boy. Remember the scar where the penis used to be?

It was very slow, too slow. Yeah, they are getting ready to remake it. God forbids Americans would have to watch foreign films...

WTF? Did you watch the edited French version?

Were you hiding behind the couch in fear? Is that how you missed it?!

Did Megan Fox have a discrete 'penis scar' in Transformers 2 when you watched it too?

I agree about Sunshine. I thought the sun itself was performing quite admirably as the main antagonist. The movie took a big hit when they introduced the killer space ghost. You really have to like sci-fi to watch that movie though. I thought it created an incredibly compelling aura of doom, I loved it. Event Horizon is much the same in that the first 2/3 are top notch in intensity and creepiness. Once they introduce the 'monsters' it loses its luster considerably.

As for werewolf movies, An American Werewolf in London was a pretty good flick. If not for anything else, there is a fantastic scene where they actually got to film in Piccadilly Circus, which was rare for the time. I loved it for the London scenery alone.

Carpenter's The Thing is one of my all time scariest flicks. Probably more so because of how old I was when I saw it, but mostly because the special effects were top notch for the time. I love movies where you never know when people are going to suddenly undergo horrific transformations and become a deadly threat. Alien, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, I Am Legend, etc.

Evil Dead II is always fun. Especially for those of us who have imbibed in hallucinogenic substances at some point. The scene where everything in the room comes alive and starts waving around laughing maniacally at Ash is one of the best scenes ever. So trippy. It's like a Dr. Suess meets Aleister Crowley moment.

For pure tension and psychological fun, The Hitcher is a classic.

The Ring is also a very creepy flick.

Hollywood or not - I liked the Ring very much too.

Ah yeah, The Hitcher. Possibly Rutger Hauer's only ever good film

Oh, yeah, Event really dropped the ball by the end. Making it the fucking Devil was total bullshit. I hate it when films let you down like that.

Personally, I find all those Jap flicks ridiculously unscary. Ring, Grudge, Dark Water, Pulse, etc.; these films only seem innovative compared to current American films. When you look back, you see a lot of these J-Horror films are using techniques originated in American cinema a few decades previous.

You didn't like him in Blade Runner? How about Blind Fury or Split Second?

Surely the fact that both Rossi and myself are somewhat bewildered by your phantom penis sighting should indicate that your penile vision was erroneous.

I said "the scar where the penis used to be" you illiterate twat - see above and below. If I started to believe what you and Rossi see or think, boy would I be fucked...

Of those I've only seen Blade Runner. Also seen him in Wedlock and Ladyhawke. I guess not a great plethora of films to judge a man's lifes' work on, but I will anyway. In The Hitcher he was immense, the others just okay.
