Ceri JC bought this on DVD yesterday, and we watched it
last night. Excellent film. If you like blood and guts its
for you!

Great film, Texas Chainsaw Massacre/Deliverance type thing.
Straightforward horror with great special fx.

I can't understand why it was only in the cinemas for such a
short time here.

I hate these modern hollywood horror films, even when they
re-make a good foreign horror movie (Ring) they still manage
fuck it up and stick stupid cgi to it to make it less scary.

Have you seen Wrong Turn? It's not a remake (so far as I
know), it's just done in an older style format, but with
modern effects.

It was only in the cinema for a short time because people
didn't go and see it because they didn't have you and Chris
for company...and it just wouldn't be the same

haven't seen it but it doesn't really look like my type of
film, I love the old Evil Dead films but I just don't like
all these new hollywood films that borrow heavily from 80's
cult horror films. They are too predictable and are rarely
scary. I prefer the more atmospheric modern horrors, Dark
Water, Jacobs Ladder etc... anyway just personal preference
but Wrong Turn really doesn't look like its much different
than any other Horror movie hollwood has been making since
Scream. Scream has a lot to answer for! I'm dreading the
re-make of Dawn of the Dead but hopefully it will surprise
me.

I missed the one weekend it was one due to me being in
Holland at the time. As if to mock me, dutch MTV showed
adverts/features about it non stop all that weekend.

Pan: I love the old evil dead films too... Romero is king of
suspense. It's amazing how much Day of the Dead influenced
the Resident Evil games.

saw this film months ago. it was a good popcorn flick,
nothing more. it had poor acting, it was kind of predictable
(if you see two young teenager make out / have sex in a
horror movie, they are officially DEAD).

some bad horror movies can be fun. so i just take it for
what it is and enjoy myself.

Yeah I liked 'Wrong Turn'. Its as Ceri states, an old 70s
style horror flick. In ways it was kinda funny too but quite
gripping also. You get the usual 'why don't you get the fuck
out of there situations?'. I have to say I felt the inbreeds
weren't too scary and I wouldn't say it hits the palm
sweating factor as much as Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Its a
pretty superficial kinda movie nothing too deep just
straight forward popcorn horror. Anyways I enjoyed it for
what its worth though.
