8 Films to Die For

just watched Gravedancers, and i have to say that i enjoyed some of the risks taken for such a low key independat movie. Some of the writing and acting took away from the story, but thought it was pretty decent.

I watched this movie with my friends. Being huge fans of the HBO Rome series, we were surprised to see The guy that play Pullo in this movie (harris) Near the end of the movie when the spirits were really getting pissed off and the film hit it's stride in the suspense depatment. the atmosphere between my friends and i became quietly focused on the movie. during the scene where the chick gets killed, my friend shouted out breaking the silence " OH come on Pullo, thats BULLSHIT, Roman kick that son of a bicth or something!" Best part of the movie for me. roman kick that son of a bicth... His remark instantly reminded me of the scene in ninja turtles where mikey ond donnie are watching a cartoon of the tortoise and the hare, where mikey busts out "come on, ninja kick the damn rabbit!" My favorite part of ninja turtle aswell

DARK RIDE-kills took forever to start then forever just to get to another, gore was good, but the overall story do to the time inbetween kills was just sad, made the movie boring to me.

THE GRAVEDANCERS-havent seen it.

PENNY DREADFUL-yeah two hours of some chick sitting in a car........wow i was so terrified and then to find out the killer was (spoilers ahead) some nut bag chick who wasnt anything special that was the icing on the cake of lameness.

REINCARNATION- sick stuff creepy too ok stuff.

THE HAMILTONS- interesting movie you dont find out whats really truly going on till the end underneath all the gore and stuff, its good for what it was. ok movie

UNREST also good movie, violent, and disturbing at times ok movie

WICKED LITTLE THINGS. .........eh it was eh.

Dark Ride was okay. It was interesting at first and went down a steady hill into getting less interesting.

Wicked Little Things was pretty boring throughout. It had some good scenes but they were few and far between.

i dont see what was so freaky about these movies that they could not be viewed by general audiences ive seen gorier movies then these ones like stay alive is probably gorier, hellraiser FOR SURE is gorier, halloween 2 with no editing is gorier

"Films to die for" is nothing more than a title.

That was the marketing ploy.

Other than Reincarnation, who would watch any of these films if they didn't say something to make them sound the least bit interesting?

Personally, I liked all of them, but I have a weird taste in movies.

does anyone know if/when the Snoop Dogg one is coming to dvd?

^
It already has. I was so excited when it did.

^
Yes, that is a delayed reaction.

Anyway, the new movies have come to DVD. Has anyone seen them? Thoughts?

2. THE GRAVEDANCERS

After more than a decade, a group of college friends are brought together for the funeral of one of their own.

Seeing that he isn't badly injured, they offer to give the stranger a lift, but his creepy silence is unsettling and downright scary, as is the off-road path they take to his destination. Penny and Orianna drop the man off, happy to part ways with their new companion- but their night is just getting started.

I really enjoyed the last 8 films i cant wait to see the new ones

Didnt think to much of the first ones, but the one's i caught in the theater this last Oct were not to bad at all. i saw tooth and nail, unearthed and mulberry street. The concepts were thoroughly entertaining. The execution missed the mark a bit, but still alot of fun, especially considering what they had to work with. I'm excited to see the rest.

Tripper is a good party or stoner movie...,not much more.
I thought the abandoned was boring

yeah the abandoned is the only movie from the first set of the 8 films that i dont own i rented it for free and i wanted my money back

Yes, Abandoned was beyond BORING. The only thing I enjoyed about it was that it reminded me of Resident Evil 4 for some reason.

Just look at the backgrounds and the truck in the movie, you'll see what I'm talking about.
