whoa!

+ Amazingly against all odds, NOT BAD AT ALL

To me, I know I like a movie when it stays in my head. This movie did just that for several days. It made me jump through the whole thing and I just wanna say unless your baby or mama is in "that house" do NOT go in when you are already out!

Falls a little short

I loved the original of this movie by Brian DePalma. I own it and have watched it a number of times and still enjoy it. It is very original, tense and macabre. This remake is lacking a bit. They took some liberties with the story, which didn't make a big difference until the ending. That's where ...

It A Original Classic

+ Modern Slasher Version of Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians"
+ Creepy fun on April Fools Day

Well, it's the 80's and these movies were big. This one is a slasher but no one gets killed, so what then do you call it, a metaphor? I think so, this film gets a high rating from me because of the characters, the story(or plot). And the original concept. Groovy!Stay Focused & smoke out!

Day of the Dead9 reviews

First Look Pictures, 2008

Not half bad

+ KEEPS THE BLOOD GUSHING 8 OUT OF 10

Zombie fans won't be disappointed with this one. It has a good pace from start to finish and enough new ideas in it to make a contribution to the genre. Firstly, this isn't a scene by scene remake of the Romero original, and i think that is a good thing. This has more of a teenage screamer feel ...

"The killer's gonna getcha!"

+ "Now It's Time To Fade To Black"
+ Loved it!

Canada was one of the key players at the forefront of the slasher movie wave of the early 1980s. "Prom Night" was released during the crest of this phenomenon and the filmmakers were among the "A" list of Canadian horror, considering that the excellent music score skills contributed by Paul Zaza ...

"...I don't know about you guys, but I happen to like my teeth right where they are..."

+ Tense and Foreboding - It's the Atmosphere that Makes this Remake
+ Great edition to the series

Introduction: For starters, I never really planned on watching anything related to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series, mostly because it reaches outside the type horror films that I can stand to watch (and no, I'm not talking teen-slasher flicks). Excessive amounts of blood and gore have never been ...

Not A Bad Movie. Its worth Your time. Good to add to your Collection

I would buy a used Dvd copy of this movie from like BlockBuster 3 for $20 sale. But get the unrated version. Not as bad as people are saying.

Still Makes My Skin Crawl

+ A holiday classic with real suspense
+ Film making at it's best!

I saw this film within the first week that it was released back in 1974 in Toronto. At the time I was about 24, and saw it with a couple of friends. I knew the campus of U of T where it was filmed, so it made the whole thing more realistic. I can't remember EVER being so scared by a film since. Two ...

Actually........... Good.

+ An OK Treat
+ Enjoyable!

I was uncertain about this because of bad reviews. But I got the courage and rented it. It was good actually. Not one of the greatest movies, predictable. But Clever ending. Very surprising ending. Ok Acting. Some language. Hot actors. Some gore. Entertaining thriller.
