mugwump Posted October 27 Report Share Posted October 27 What started as a movie with great potentialfull of spooky classic horror movie themes(Ghosts in the dark around every corner)made a wrong turn and turned into a godawfullMTV music video style action flick. The ending (which I wont give away) was so over the top thatthe entire theater just broke out laughing.I understand that in a horror movie,as with sci-fi and fantasy films, one mustuse a suspense of disbelief. HOWEVERwhen shit starts getting too far fetchedIt's easy for your disbelief to turn intomockery. Too bad, since I was really inthe mood to go see a scary film. Mydate on the other hand loved it. Thenagain she's kind of a recovering Goth soI'm sure the scenes with Nine Inch nailspounding in the background distracted her from the fact thatthe plot was getting more and more rediculouse..But that's just my opinion.It's hard to make a good scary movie these days.RED DRAGON for example scared the crap out of me.Perhaps because in this day and age the monstersand boogie men are snipers and mad men, not zombieghosts.I'm still wanting to go see THE CIRCLEbut after blowing money on tickets and popcornon a bad movie I think I'll just wait for video.Any of you seen this one yet?(it's a good ride..but just not goodenough for my tastes. Go see it for yourselves thoughand tell me what you think)*there was a really cool preview forthe next wes Craven flick called "THEY"that looks scary as all hell...Perhaps I'll catch it in the UK.

gqraver Posted October 27 Report Share Posted October 27 Ghost ship looks horrible, I filled out one of those surveys for it at a mall after watching a 10 minute clip a few months ago.The Circle? Do you mean 'The Ring'? I saw it, it was decent, it take a lot to get me scared, usually weird "Twin Peaks" type shit like the dancing midget speaking in gibberish works more on me. A lot of my friends though were spooked about by the "The Ring". I'm waiting to watch the original Japanese version which I heard is better....peaceOriginally posted by mugwump What started as a movie with great potentialfull of spooky classic horror movie themes(Ghosts in the dark around every corner)made a wrong turn and turned into a godawfullMTV music video style action flick.

Jackson spewing out his"mother fucker" lines in Italian) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacychase Posted October 27 Report Share Posted October 27 We almost went to see Ghost Ship last nite. However I am not to keen on scarey movies, so we ended up watching the end of the baseball game. Thanks for letting me know though, cause we will now def wait for it to come out on DVD.
