lol, sorry bro, for some reason I always lump you into the Sonata Arctica guy and that Fingon dude age group..... Like I said, is all taste, you can't even appreciate what they were trying to do with mood and making you work for it...? You should maybe check out "Cure" you might like that one.
well, my behaviour confuse ppl i guess
i do appreciate the some of the stuff, the bizarre images. And i also appreaciate that they used ambient background noice instead of the classical american scary-scary-stab-stab!-aargh! music.
but i didn't appreciate this:
" We have to find her and dig up her body " ... why exactly is that?
" This video tape is not of this world." ... wha'?!? .. a ghost tape?! wtf?
After they removed the top of the well, the ghost crawl out on the tape and out into the living room. Then she stares at the ex-husband with her evil eye and he dies with a frozen facial expression... but ehm... why did the other ppl die with such expression when the ghost was trapped in the well at the time?.. me not understand.
Then there's the tempo in the movie. I do understand that the main-characters deadline is a fear-factor on it's own, but i dunno. Imo it was too slow. And when the ex-husband reveal his secret powers it is merely a footnote in the dialogue.. Bad.
This prolly doesn't spoil the movie for you, i hope not. To others it might seem silly. Had it been an action movie i would have been dissapointed not to have found cheasyness. Most of my dvd movies are cheasy

.. but with a horror movie it different. But you're right, it's a matter of taste. Many ppl find the exorcist scary too, i even heard that back when it was released ppl were given vomit bag in the theaters. But i was rather dissapointed when i saw that.
If i had to direct a horror movie it would be more like the Silent Hill games with its bizare creatures and muddy graphics - the modern horror movies are too clean. It should be raw and dirty- black metal style. And then some inspiration from some scary "dreams" i have had. Wouldn't catagorize them as nightmares since they only last 1-30 seconds and contains mostly voice ambient noice stuff, blurred vision but always with alot of emotions; being freaking scared - total freezing coldness, and one time i litterally felt like being strangled while having no vision at all - it just came suddenly, i did wake up, but first inside dream where i was getting choked by my sister who had a hysterical grin on her face. Another time i just woke with fast beating heart due to the sound of a hideous scream only to be found inside the mind, and i wasn't even dreaming when it happened.. weird... So it's not like i can't get scared. But then again, i don't think ppl get scared of the same things.
