Caltrops - Peter Molyneux's The Movies





	[quote name="FoK"][quote name="Fullofkittens"] The Howling -seen it numerous times, wanted one that definitely did not suck.[/quote] I think I must have seen it on TV before because I definitely did not remember parts of it. But it's pretty good. They certainly did rely heavily on bladders before they had CGI. Gross! <b>3/4</b> [quote] Pulse -Never heard anything about this, the ghosts on the back cover look promising, though![/quote] Stupid, but good looking monsters. Kind of like <i>The Grudge</i> that way. So far, <i>The Ring</i> has been the only really good Japanese horror film remake. But watchable enough. <b>2/4</b> [quote]Slither -Somebody here said this sucked, and my sister whose taste I share said it ruled. It looks like it might be like Night of The Creeps, which was awesome.[/quote] Not awesome, but decent. If I had never seen <i>Night of The Creeps</i> I probably would have liked it more... that was way better. This was maybe too reflexive and in-jokey. They seemed to be going for a <i>Tremors</i> vibe, which is a good idea but they didn't nail the tone: you can only lampoon rednecks so far before they're not likable characters. Wouldn't watch it again but enjoyed it while it was on and would recommend it to genre fans. <b>3/4</b> [quote] Kingdom Hospital (the complete series in two boxes) -This looked bad from the previews, but I'm pretty openminded and forgiving when it comes to horror movies/shows viewed in October. The only thing that would suck would be if it was boring. It has Claire's dad from Heroes in it, which is a good sign, but it also seems to have a total hardon for Twin Peaks, which is probably not a good sign.[/quote] Only made it through the pilot and decided not to continue. It appeared to have only a small amount of Claire's Dad and a high amount of Andrew McCarthy, <i>as the hero figure</i>, which is totally fucked up. They also did not nail the tone of their obvious heir <i>Twin Peaks</i>. "It's the damnedest thing... there was a <i>fish</i> in the coffeepot!": Funny. German shepherd thinking out loud in a hokey Arnold Schwarzenegger accent: Not funny. Also: the pilot obsessively played and played "Red Dragon Tattoo" in a failed attempt to seem contemporary or something, but it didn't work in that way and it didn't work with the scenes it was in either. <b>1/4</b> Now I need another 5 movies.[/quote]
