I am however very interested in checking out "Insidious" have you seen that one?

Yes, and I don't know what's wrong with me, I was not that impressed, so please watch the movie first and do not read on.



A classical ghost-spook-demon-astral-everworld-shocker-haunted movie, with few CGI but also little real suspense and little real dramaturgy, I think the first half hour was soapy, and the rest also too soft and weekly written, it had moments with good choreography, photography, illumination, but these were only single moments, I missed cleverness, instead I saw too many candles, flickering lights, swirling mists and sudden gestalts, they even had a psychic lady, I especially did not like her comical side kicks, the end was not creepy or suspensful but just surreal, all in all solid craftsmanship, no bitter disappointment but far away from a classic.

My Thoughts:
Well, this was a movie that i was looking forward to see. And i finally got around to it. It started of a bit weird. And for me it actually was a weird movie. (weird can be good! Dont get me wrong) There was a few good moments in the movie. A very different movie than i was expecting me. But i liked what they did with the visual efects and the makeup team. A bit different story then what i tought it would be. But an enjoyble movie. A movie that you should check out if you like a bit different\weird movie IMO

Plot:
Something has gone wrong at a remote scientific research station on Mars. All research has ceased. Communication has failed. And the messages that do get through are less than comforting. It's a level 5 quarantine, and the only souls allowed in or out are the Rapid Response Tactical Squad, a squadron armed to the teeth with unprecedented firepower to carry on their mission: nothing gets out alive.

But a legion of nightmarish creatures of unknown origin lurks behind every wall and stalks the countless rooms and tunnels... far more powerful and blood-thirsty than anyone could ever imagine.

Doom brings you all the visceral excitement and startling action that made its game predecessor a global phenomenon.

My Thoughts:
I've played the game "Doom" alot when i was younger. And i really enjoyed that, so i was looking forward to checking this one out. See if it was anything like it. And i have to say, they did a good job with it. Reminded me alot of the videogames! Good job on that part. And for the movie itself, its starts of real strong, and never lets go. Its an real intense movie about a group of soldiers that has to travel to a galaxy far away, to save some people. And as in the games, thats not as easy as it sounds. With monsters, aliens. Humans that are not human. A great sci-fi horror flick with some real good moments trough out the movie. And what the makeup team and the visual efects team have done with this movie is just amazing imo. The sound aswell! WOW. And the story had me interested too. A real great movie to watch. I highly recommand this one for the horror and sci-fi fans out there! A good 2 hours spent IMO!

My Thoughts:
Again, after a real slow week with alot of stuff happening i got around to watch this one. Another blind buy, didnt know really what to expect other then it was from John Carpenter. The movie started of strong, about a girl that get sent to a "looney bin" back in the old days. sorry my expression (dont know the english word for it) And in that place stuff happens, people disappears, and there is something or someone that hunts this place. And i think the story is interesting, and like what they have done with all the "we are chasing a ghost" thing. A good mix between pschyological and some gore in the mix. What they was trying to tell us was also ok. But a bit slow at times, and a bit confusing at times too. And the acting was the finest i've seen either. And the filming and editing could have been better. But what they had to work with, i think they did ok. And i kinda like the twist trough the end of the movie. And i liked how they decided to end the movie. IMO that was a good touch.
All in all, an ok horrormovie. Not my favourite horror movie, but an ok one. Check it out if you want to.
Worth a check out IMO (if you find it cheap somewhere, or allready own it)

My Thoughts:
I am prolly way too late for the party, but i just watched this one. (i havent seen any other of the movies. not even the original) But i've heard this was a great movie. And i have to agree. I kinda found the story interesting. And the monster that are chasing some guys in a dream, and try to do stuff. Well, is it a dream? I think they did a great job with the "chase" after the monster that keeps coming up in those nightmares. Is it real? Or is it just something they have dreamt? They have driven a fine line here, not too much of that or this. And i liked what we learned about the victims. (let us call them that) And i like how they made it all so real. And a few good scare moments aswell, and a few good gore scenes. And the special efects and makeup team did a great job with this one IMO. The picture and sound quality was pretty decent aswell. Great job there! And it was nice to see Rooney Mara again. Did a good job IMO. And the ending.. WOW, i actually didnt see that coming at all! Well, for the people who havent seen this one. You should! For me, this is a must watch\have for all you horror fans out there! Highly recommanded!

A great horror movie that actually recommand all horror fans out there to check out!

I agree. TV Spielfilm recommended the movie: "Ein junges Paar hat des Nachts ungebetene Gäste. Old-School-Schocker: minimale Story, maximale Spannung.". And they were right, as usual. A cool, short, straight shocker. Not without cliché, but solid and serious.
