Sureshot's Thread of Horror!

I don't know how many of you are horror junkies but as I am I'm gonna rub a load of gory movies in your face! This thread is recommendations that I highly recommend (or don't) in the horror genre, and if you can throw anymore my way I'd be most grateful.

First off:

Låt den rätte komma in (Let The Right One In).

Quick summary: Oskar, a bullied 12-year old, dreams of revenge. He falls in love with Eli, a peculiar girl. She can't stand the sun or food and to come into a room she needs to be invited. Eli gives Oskar the strength to hit back but when he realizes that Eli needs to drink other people's blood to live he's faced with a choice. How much can love forgive? Let The Right One In is a story both violent and highly romantic, set in the Stockholm suburb of Blackeberg in 1982.

Quick review: Ok, so I don't know where people stand on foreign subtitled movies but I have no problem with them whatsover. The horror genre as it stands of late has just been plagued by remakes and bad re-tellings of Korean/Japanese classics such as "The Eye", but this little movie from Sweden has something rather special about it, in fact one might say very special indeed as its unlike any other vampire movie I have ever seen. The whole movie is pretty much viewed through the eyes and life of a child and one that most adult viewers can relate too in some form or another. It's not about the gore-factor whatsover so if thats what you're looking for then avoid this because you will be dissapointed. If you think more along the lines of "Stand By Me" crossed-over with "Pans Labyrinth" then you'll already have a good idea of what it's about. It has a very haunting quality to it and is as equally comforting as it is disturbing. I particularly found it interesting and it's actually got the potential to become and underground classic for a straight to video release. Definitely recommended

7.5/10

I love that film! It's hilarious! (Zombieland that is)

Blimey, I've seen a ton of horrors lately. I'll have to get my thinking cap on and write them all out with a mini review.

Hope you don't mind my posting here.

My most recently-watched horror film was Orphan.

Quick Summary: A married couple - Kate and John - with two children recently lost a child and are experiencing problems in their marriage. The decide to adopt a child and go to the local orphanage where they find what they assume to be the perfect little girl. She seems sweet, cute and loveable and from Russia. Eventually, Kate grows suspicious of the little girl after she says things that you would not usually expect from a 9 year old girl. Soon, Esther turns violent against everybody and Kate begins to unravel a secret about Esther that would change everything.



Quick review: I liked the film. It wasn't particularly scary but it made for interesting watching. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes twists-in-the-tail.
