    Visually beautiful. The end got me though. It left me irritated, dammit.

    And you can’t go wrong with the actors, at all.

    I'm a village defender.

    It was genius that it was completely marketed as a monster movie, a slasher horror movie with scary monsters, which leaves a lot of the old timey colonial stuff and the ending completely disappointing to a lot of people expecting something else.  That was the correct way to do it.

    I think it's a great work.  I love the story.  Love the ending too. 


    People also love to poop on shyamalan just because.  They put everything up against the surprise in the sixth sense and always over-guess the ending and have unrealistic expectations.

    I haven't liked one of his films yet, but I haven't seen all of them either. Peeps tell me I'd dig Unbreakable.

    I did enjoy the TV series he had a few years back, Whispering Pines, but I think he had to adhere to some source material for that one.

    But yeah lot of good ones. I have a few friends who host "First Friday Fright night in Phoenixville, PA. They show some good classic ones like Popcorn, Pumpkinhead, Poltergeist, The Warriors, Nightmare on Elm Street 3 & 4, Vampire Circus, From Dusk Til Dawn, My Bloody Valentine, Silent Night Deadly Night. This past month was Halloween III :D an d next month, Nov. 2 is Return Of The Living Dead (which I don't believe I've seen).

    This January is not really a horror film per say, well I guess it can be considered one. Anyway they are showing both Grindhouse movies in their entirity.

    February is Candyman (which I don't believe I have seen :oops: )

    Tonight they played Candyman in 35mm print :thumbup: Pretty decent. Couple "jumping" scenes. Actually the one girl behind me jumped like 10 times :lol: The urban legend was kinda cool, and his gimmick was ok.

    remake coming out this summer


    Actually it was a sequel, saw it tonight. Pretty good I thought. Also during the previews they had a trailer for the new Halloween movie (which I had no idea they were even doing one again)

    It looks like that study really emphasized jump-scares, which is a pet peeve of mine when over-done as a crutch in horror movies, and even dubbing in the artificial high-pitched 'violin screech' noise to make you jump more.

    OK, you are right.  No reason to be mean about it --- I can amend to just say that it is kind of startling to look at what she has done with her plastic surgery.
