yeah its dead but they resurrect it as a zombie....it bad because all the movies are bad remakes....or new movies that are too focused on BS CGI and SFX instead of worrying about the plot and conveying the story and making the story believable or and least kinda feasible ya know...its like yeah my plot sucks but look at all the fake blood look at the computer generator monster...and the way they present the effects are mad cliche as well...its like they are doing the same shit as the 80s it just looks better....also it's a known fact that u cant have superstars in ur horror flick...u can only have unknown actors because the "horror" should be the main character...i wanna see the crazy shit not jessica beil playing a virgin when she clearly let me hit..............in my mind....but yeah horror is on its death bed like commercial hip hop

it's not dead, Rob Zombie been keepin that shit afloat by himself with 4 straight horror classics and contrary to popular belief the remakes are mostly on point, the first Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Dawn of the Dead and The Hill Have Eyes was ill, last year we had Friday the 13th reboot that was dope and Last House on the Left among others, this year Nightmare on Elm Street looks on point.

there were some good original horror movies last year too, Mirrors with Kiefer Sutherland by the guy that brought you High Tension and The Hills Have Eyes.. Jennifer's Body was nice to me, My Bloody Valentine 3-D was good..

All due respect, if you wanted to prove that the horror genre was still alive, you should have picked some better movies...

Rob Zombie? The only good movies he made was The Devil's Rejects and The Haunted World Of El Superbeasto...

HHE was garbage...

High Tension was just Gore Porn, Mirrors.... Mirrors...fucking Mirrors... The best part of that movie was seeing that chick rip her jaw in half...

Jennifer's Body would have been good if it was actually as scary as the idea of The Jennifer Character.... She had some wild ass lines tho.... even in death....

what?? House of 1000 Corpses is easily one of the best horror movies to come out last decade, that shit is classic. Halloween and H2 were both 100% dope. what were you watching? HHE was garbage??? High Tension was just gore porn? these are some of the best horror films to come out in decades IMO. you're right Jennifer's Body wasn't scary, but it was original and entertaining as hell.. we'll have to agree to disagree, completely. and then you say Orphan? c'mon man.

How could you hate Pandorum?

I loved it.... It was like a more Action Oriented Event Horizon.... Which is on my top 10 list of horror movies...

OH!!!

THE ORPHAN!!!

That shit was wild as fuck!!!

yeah man...i couldnt get into Pandorum...my girl was scared though...I liked the orphan though...maybe im not amused my most horror movies now cuz im grown now...cuz i know in the 80s i was scared of all that shit....lol well not Jason he was never scary to me...but Freddy had a nigga scared to go to sleep lol

i gotta just wonder why Rob Zombie doesn't get the props he deserves. to me Halloween 2 was a masterpiece and it was shitted on by most everyone. hardly any horror films that have come out in YEARS can compare to H2.

pretty much. I saw this trailer on world star a few weeks ago and was pretty much ready to give up on life.

I wouldn't really call it a Remake.... Have you seen the original?

Pontypool was good, the tension could be cut with a knife... Not to mention the Main Character had the perfect voice for radio... They did a great job picking him.... reminds me of Paul Harvey...

Yes the general idea of infected words is stupid... But other then that what else was there to dislike?

idk maybe i was expecting something different from the movie. But i was watching and i felt like it was being built up and built up and then disappointed with the infected words thing and it was alot of talking and explanation and not much else.

it's a film called Dead Air where it takes place in a radio and it's kinda like Pontypool except it's not infected words and they actually go outside at some points. I liked it. I saw Dead Air first so i guess i was expecting something similar to it.
