The Giallo thing amuses me, I've seen Giallo and it's absolutely rubbish, I reckon another reason Brody has 'really' stopped it getting a release in America is because he is so embarrassed by it...

Trust me, people in America have been saved.

it was boring, pointless and has one of the worst endings.

This list is bogus though. Yeah, there are a few things mentioned in the list that are relevant but there were fair worse failures that most of the crap on there. How the hell are you going to list Jonah Hex over, Survival of the Dead. Jonah Hex actually wasn't bad for it's genre.

Heres my list.


Nightmare on Elm Street
George Romeros Survival of the dead.
Descent 2
Last Exorcism
My soul to take
Paranormal Activity 2
Splice
Resident Evil Afterlife

To say the least.

The only redeeming scenes were in the barn and the bit when she was on top of the cupboard staring at the camera...Genuinely freaky and unsettling scenes/acting.

The rest of it?...Utterly utterly dire beyond belief...

I saw it at the cinema and it was relatively busy and at the end the whole cinema just sat there in total silence thinking "is that it?"...It was left for me to say loudly enough for everyone to hear..."Well that was the biggest load of shite I've seen for ages"

Splice? why Splice?

Probably because instead of a horror it turned out to be a weird fetish porno.

But it is still pretty shit if when compared to the comic.

because of the wasted potential. I suppose it was the writing of the two main characters that killed this movie for me. Instead of being an intellectual scifi/horror flick it quickly became a stupid and inconsistent B movie. Don't be fooled by the budget. Midway through the movie the two main (human characters) became nothing more than easy plot conveniences. Their choices and behavior was not consistent with the establishment of their character or morals. They were there simply to give the story an outlet to deliver the poorly written second half.

I still like the concept but, for me, it really failed in the execution. For being so smart, those scientists were all kinds of stupid. The decisions they made were so far separated from rationality it made it impossible for me to suspend disbelief. It's not that i can't understand that people make bad choices but every decision made by the main characters were ridiculous and just lacked common sense.

Yeah, that may very well be true. I never read much of the comics so i didn't have any expectations. It really isn't a bad movie, regardless of whether or not it's a faithful adaptation and we all know that comic book movies are never reviewed and criticized on whether or not it's a faithful adaptation. So, this leaves me wondering why so many reviewers decided to condemn this movie as hard as they did. Sure, it's not a great but for it's genre it was fine and even has some really good qualities. Some of the reviews i read concentrated on how cheesy it is. The thing they failed to realize is that it's very apparent that the cheese was intentional.

I mean, do you think it's really that bad?
