Horror Franchises, Where Have They Gone Bad?

Re: Horror Franchises, Where Have They Gone Bad?

That part freaked me out more than I've ever been before in my life. The dude just standing there against the wall in that basement...I'll never forget that image.

That's why it was genius to me. They showed nothing, and it was very tense, and then it ended. Genius film making IMO.

BWP was a big success because of its marketing, not because of the film itself.

As a film, standing alone by itself, it isn't anything special, in my opinion.

I don't know, the plot was great. The idea of using a camcorder angle was pretty smart. The acting wasn't that great but it didn't need to be great.

Eh, ya, I guess it was a better movie than I give it credit for.

Its just, I'm one of those movie fans that when a movie has huge hype, and it doesn't knock my socks off, I'm disappointed.

BWP final scene left me with Goosebumps.. I was 1 of those who thought it was a true story. Still 1 of my favorites..

Here's a Movie poster for Tarantino/Rodriguez's Grindhouse

I can always watch halloween 1 and 2. The rest in this series were either mediocre or terrible.

Re: Horror Franchises, Where Have They Gone Bad?

I ranked my top 50 horror movies on my blog, that was a lot harder to do than I first thought. I had every intention of throwing a picture up of every movie, but after getting about 13 up, I has having size troubles with the rest, and being a neat freak, I wanted them all the same size to make it look clean. So I gave up on the movie pictures..LOL I was tired when I finished it so my descriptions are a little weak as well. I basically pulled out all my horror DVD's and spread them out on the family room floor and ranked them that way. So if it's on my list, I own it.

Nice list. I'm surprised the only Italian Horror Film on your list is Suspiria. Movies like Tenebre, The Beyond & Zombie are CLASSICS. As for Asian Horror, surprised that movies like The Eye & The Grudge didn't make the list.. As for American Movies, Maniac, Don't Look Now, The Sentinel & The Changeling are gr-8 movies ..

Other than that your list looks good..

I liked The Grudge, but enjoyed Ju-On more. For Italian horror, I love Fulci's stuff like Zombi, but not enough for my 50 I guess. It was hard to do a top 50, and some of my list stayed on there because I loved them as a kid or feel I can watch them over and over more.
