My guiding Moonlight...



Asylum Blackout was pretty good, reminded me of game Outlast, it starts off strong but wanes just a bit towards the middle and end. Fun overall. Scenic Route was baller, two dudes stranded out in the middle of a desert going at each others throats and trying to survive. Really well done and good acting performances.

Hotel was pretty lame. It does the whole "let's not give the viewer a lot to work with and have them figure it out!" thing to keep it's air of mystery but it's not really particularly interesting anyway so I don't know, maybe I missed something but it didn't do anything for me.

No one's mentioned The Borderlands yet. I thought that was a great little found-footage flick, though to be fair I've not seen nearly as many as you guys apparently have.

I'm not finding any feature length films titled Evidence release in 2011. Is this the one you're referring to?

According to that link it was released in 2012.

Evidence s a weird case because it was filmed on-and-off by a handful of amateurs over the course of two years, then only saw a small-scale DVD release in the UK in 2012. The full-scale international DVD release only came out a few months ago.

They'd already begun work on an Evidence 2, according to the commentary, before most people could even legally see the first one.

I believe they recorded the commentary in 2014 and, at that point, claimed to have vaguely 'begun work on' the sequel. So it's on the horizon, but still a ways off.

Finally got around to watching The Descent and I must say, I wasn't particularly wowed. The movie kinda lost me when the monsters showed up, they looked like Gollum and I was constantly wondering why the ladies didn't just kick their asses. They seemed to be able to do that just fine a few times but then nope. The movie lost me for good when my girlfriend pointed out that that one scene reminded her of "that movie where that one guy gets covered in mud so the monster can't see him" and I spent the rest of the movie imagining Arnold busting through the caves, leaving Arnold-shaped holes in the rock while squashing feeble Gollum heads in each hand.

Actually, I think reading The Descent like it was Predator could be interesting, has this been done before?

As someone who suffers from severe claustrophobia, that scene where she gets stuck in that tiny little tunnel was some of the most uncomftorable minutes in a movie I have ever seen.

Other than that I can pretty much guarantee you that nobody has read the Descent like it was Predator.

How would you read Predator? It's pretty straight forward.

But The Descent was one of the few movies to make me jump so much, I screamed the in the theater. Not a YELP! But a AHHH WHAT THE HELL when the first monster showed up. That scene is loving spooky.

Yeah I was fully prepared to call for a break during that because things like that get to me as well. I was expecting more of that. My biggest fear and also my biggest hope from reading about the movie was that it would be like Sanctum, which I didn't really liked but thought had potential re claustrophobia. But then the cave vampires came and sucked all the tension away.

It's just superficial similarities for now, unisex group of tough people ends up trapped and monsters hunt them. One of them gets covered in something sticky and lets out a primal scream while holding a torch. Stuff like that.

The scene with the blood pool is less Predator and more Apocalypse Now.

The Descent is such an incredibly well-shot movie. Probably one of my favorite horror movies of all time, if I'm being honest.

3 has some pretty gruesome, meanspirited "wishes," "losing weight" in particular. Other than that, it's pretty terrible (and not in the good way).

4 is bad unless you like softcore porn scenes and more romance than horror.

It's been a bit since I've seen it, but I'd love an all-spelunking version of The Descent. It mined so much tension out of their situation that it was kind of disappointing when the monsters showed up.

I hate to admit liking a movie that you might enjoy, but Series 7: The Contenders is both horrific and romantic and a none-more black comedy.

Best lake monster movie is Lake Placid, but it's not exactly horror.

What's a good movie that has a bleak, oppressive, hopeless tone? Like things just get worse and worse. The characters are trapped and pitted against something they don't understand; utter helplessness.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me

I watched the new remastered blu ray last night with a friend and we'd forgotten how utterly awful Laura's last few days were. You're just watching a young girl destroying herself because she knows she is going to die. Don't watch it unless you've watched at least up to half way through season 2 of the series, though!
