worst movie ever. and i was SO pumped to see it SO much hype SO fucking bad.
and with the storyline, it could have been SO Fucking good. imo they shoudl have been beaten and had some kind of show down in the house, there should have been no outside scenes at all, and between the showdown they shoudl have like six or seven 30 second flashbacks slowly unraveling the proposal and the shut down, then flashback to the real time where some awesome shit was going down
it had SO much potential
it sucked so fucking bad i would watch the zodiac twice for every time i had to watch the strangers. and i fucking HATED the zodiac.

you ever see Vacancy? I wasnt shaking in my boots or anything but i definitely thought it was one of the better horror movies of late, since they all blow.
i love watching horror films then getting that feeling somethings behind you i always close my eyes and make scary noises and reach down my back slowly, like somethings touching me (its actually a great debunker for that ominous feeling )
also its fun to go into a closed bathroom without no lights and scream bloody mary 3 times
theres this one part of you that's like "OMG PLEASE NO RED EYES" * trepidatious shiver * then theres another part of you that's like "Wow, you are the most spineless motherfucker ever, tie a rope around neck and I'll kick chair asap plaxez"
also i dunno but i liked thirteen ghosts it was cute yet so fucking horrific. also i was very "scared" by you don't mess with the zohan I'll never look at middle aged woman the same way again..
I actually also found hostel one of the most harrowing films to watch. I empathize a lot. I always get like sweats when the protagonist is being stalked or whatever. I just imagine myself sitting there tied up in a chair while some fucking slimy weirdo comes in and cuts me up for his sick self-empowerment. And then I imagine all those different people in hostel. And the guards who are just too big to get around...the stern faced and amoral creatures that run the place. That horrified me to my core and I spent the next few days just absorbed in the horror of imagining being in that situation. At least you die quickly if some hench beastie comes and slays you. But it's not just that you are getting tortured, it's that all those people are, and that i can imagine it, very easily, happening in some parts of europe, china or USA (or anywhere else for that matter...thailand maybe)

Yeah... decent movie, suspenseful... but not what I'd call scary.
Zodiac was a good movie but I didn't find it to be that scary man :S I find it funny when people get so scared from a film, they must have such a warped sense of reality.
