Feck.Forgot about MBV-yeah that wasn't bad! We need Peter Neal here I think-he'll know ALL the films released this year!:nod: |

It had nothing over the original and I loved the fully uncut original re-release bt Lionsgate. Shame there was a few bits they could never get hold of again but at least we got most of the gore back :cool: |
Yeah FRIDAY THE 13TH Remake was a pile of horseshit!:ack: |
There are a few from this year I haven't seen yet, but what I have I think it is close between the simplicity of Paranormal Activity and the excesses of Drag Me To Hell. |
Martyrs for me, I thought it was terrific. I can understand why people didn't like the ending, but I thought it was just perfect. I liked it, anyway. :) |
Antichrist was good (if you consider that a horror), but like loops - I don't think I've seen any from '09 yet! :eek: I have Trick 'r Treat and The Hills Run Red coming - due to bargain bin buying ;) - so that's a start! I still need to pick up Drag Me to Hell too... :nod: Also, I think Martyrs was made in 2008 - so that doesn't count! :tongue1: :biggrin: |

Also, I think there is a sequel to Paranormal Activity pegged fro 2012! :eek: |
Yup Oren has said he wants to do a 2nd one and they have agreed. Dunno when it will be out though, he said he will work on it after he completes Area 51 which is due next year and its finished filming. I doubt PA2 will take long to make if they keep it low budget so could see it end of 2010 or early 2011. |

This was imho a very good year for genre fare, so here come my top 10 horrors of 2009: 1. Martyrs (Caught that one in Helsinki theatre filled with over 50% of female viewers- with only one bloke leaving halfway through.:banana:) Best of the line of strong French horrors- and i rate this, "High Tension" and "Inside" among the best horrors of this decade! 2. Eden Lake Non-UK-audiences caught up with this perfect example of intelligent, thought provoking MODERN horror in early '09. 3. The Children Same here. "The Children" is a well crafted modern piece of genre filmmaking that's particularly a tough watch for parents. 4. "Cradle Will Fall" A mum going mental, trying to murder her own kids:eek:....Strong stuff and an unthinkable topic only a decade back. Instense, well photographed and acted. 5. "Deadgirl" Forget "Mandy Lane": THIS is THE best teen horror flick of this decade! 6. "The Last House on the Left" So far, the best of the current wave of classic 70's/80's horror remakes, which suceeds in doing a remake's job: Taking the original's themes and giving them also a NARRATIVE update. Good performances too.:thumb: 7. "Embodiment of Evil" José Mojica Marins concluding his "Coffin Joe" trilogy 40 (!) years later...the man was lightyears ahead in the 60's//70's, so having him return to his very own brand of "torture porn" NOW feels very, very right in place!:rockon: 8. "Trick r Treat" Best anthology film in ages- classy, fast paced, just the right kind of "retro fodder" with some nice twists down the line. 9. "Saw VI" Most likely the very best "part VI" ever added to a popular horror franchise so far, "Saw VI" wraps up the series' story line nicely, so the already announced "Saw VII" will have to do quite a job not to feel too unneccesary and forced.:lol: 10. "Laid to Rest" It seems to be a minority opinion, but I really enjoyed this modern stab at the slasher genre a lot. Great spaltter fx and some likeable ADULT leads!:horse: Other good/entertaining/interesting horrors were "Smash Cut", "Babysitter Wanted", "My Bloody Valentine 3D", "Autopsy", "The Hills Run Red", "Manhunt" and "Grotesque". |
