Standouts for the last year for me were saw 2, land of the dead and the best of all, sin city. Can't wait till they release sin city 2.

 

Ema and GG if you like Japanese horror you should check out versus. Its sort of Japanese zombie film, with classic B grade acting and some great gore. I really dig Japanese horror, loved Battle Royale, although I didn't like any of the ring movies, USA or Japanese. Gonna have to try and find some of the others you've mentioned. Also love manga too. Fist of the north star rules if you've never seen it.

Versus is cool, although for Japanese zombie films I prefer Junk and Wild Zero. Zombie-slaying rock stars, too funny!

 

Keen on Manga too, eagerly awaiting Ghost In The Shell 2, love the first one. Me and the old guy are having an anime weekend this weekend, got loads to watch, of varying quality!

Watched Wolf Creek on DVD at the weekend... wow, talk about tense! My heart was racing!

nearly bought that at the weekend to watch... worth it? is it scary enough? I need to be very very scared.

Not scary, no, just tense... in a similar way that Silence of the Lambs was tense rather than scary.

 

Although if the car had broken down on the way home from my friend's, I'd have been s***ting bricks

Oh my, just saw SawII yesterday.. good work! But I couldn't watch the first scene lol, nothin' with the eyes!!

 

I wonder now what they will do with Saw III since one of the production heads died. I know they were going to film a third one, but haven't seen anything about it.

 

I dont think we can get Wolf Creek here yet, but I have it in my queue.

I saw Saw II a few weeks ago. Wow, nice movie. Great sequel! It really pulled everything together.

 

Something I am looking forward to that I just saw a preview for the other day is Silent Hill. I have never played the video game, but everyone I have ever talked to said it was a really scary game. The movie looks promising too. It opens here in a few weeks. I can't wait.

I STILL haven't watched Saw2 yet, despite having it on DVD... just haven't had the time recently.

 

But I did find time to watch the Takashi Miike episode of 'Masters of Horror'... ewwwww, grim! One of those 'watch through the fingers' films! Hopefully it will be released on DVD soon, others in the 'Masters of Horror' series are coming out at the mo.

Are they out on DVD already? I caught a couple on Bravo and enjoyed the ones I saw. Off to my fave DVD site now...

Wolf Creek in the mail and on way!

 

Hmm That one isn't on netfliks yet, but ohh Takashi Miike has alot more to see! Should do Audition again as I slept through most of it after 12 hour work day lol George said it was good though.

P... the John Carpenter/Stuart Gordon episodes are out on DVD (together on one disc)... others are to be released. Play.com have it in stock

 

Some friends of mine watched the Carpenter/Gordon DVD last night, and said it was great.

Cheers D, it's ok I can make 50p last till the end of the month after I buy this... Can't I?

Haven't seen it yet but I got Saw 2 as a house warming present - yay!

 

I also now have my very own copy of House of 1000 Corpses and I've seen Devils Rejects in the shops so I'll be getting that very soon.

I've got Devils Rejects on DVD but haven't watched it yet... not since we saw it at the cinema (how good was that weekend Silver!)

Wow, Wolf Creek was a good one! One of those sit up in your seat kinda movies, the director did great with showing how remote Australia can get which added to the rest of the story..

 

'Hmmmmmmhehheh' lol, Mick was great with his 'sure I look harmless but ohh look ..this is a knife' type of character.

 

Gah, will make me look harder at seemingly nice looking folks... hehheh

I had an oldies evening on Saturday night, The original Invisible Man followed by The Mummy and Frankenstein. You just can't beat the good old Universal Pictures!

 

That was a wicked weekend GG, looking forward to a Yorkshire Werewolf fan in London 2, which will be around in May I hear!

Ha Haaaaa!

 

As will "Fancy a night at Slimelight?" heh heh

 

Finally watched Saw 2 last night, and enjoyed it muchly

Ooh I'm looking forward to that one, if it were a book it'd be a best seller!

Going back to real films (snigger!), if anyone enjoyed Nightwatch (the remake of which is just about to be released on DVD in the UK), then check out the sequel, Daywatch, which is also out now on DVD (Region 1 format only). I think it's available from www.redsundvd.com (no, I don't work for them!)

 

This is the follow-up to the original version of Nightwatch... not sure if they'll remake Daywatch for cinema release.

Got round to watching it (Saw II) last night. Didn't enjoy it as much as first but then again expectations were much higher - still plenty of deliciously cringing moments though...

 

Now a big fan of the Amazon rental wotsit - had a ton of films out that I wouldn't have spent money to go and see and don't want to waste £10 to buy - most have been shite but hey, at least I didn't have to walk down the road and have my choices judged by local spotty inbreds!

Finally watched SawII last night and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Different to the first one of course but as we now know the rules it was fun trying to figure out what would happen before it did. Loved the ending.

 

Can't say if it was better or worse than the first but as a sequal I thought it was great

My DVD of Day Watch turned up yesterday... I feel a night of Russian vampires films coming on soon, if my Yorkshire visitor fancies it...!

Night watch is a cracking film, К сожалению, я пока не говорю по-русски, but dubbed was good as well - a cross between Highlander, Matrix (in a good way) and every adventure yarn since time immemorial... Hope you enjoy...

Sounds good, can't wait!

 

Been watching The Matrix recently for no other reason that it's on TV!

i saw silent hill. it was shit, but ok...
