I actually thought the remake of the ring was far better than the original.
The original grudge was very good.

Army of the Dead out on Netflix today. Getting good reviews. It's beyond awful. 40 mins too long and a big pile of shyte actors with an even worse script.

Nail well struck on the head!

Overlong and drawn out scenes.
The pilots scenes were painfully obviously shoe-horned in.
Needlessly complicated zombies.

Could have been a proper romp of a zombie flick but tries too hard to be clever about it.
Snyder is by far one of the most overrated and self indulgent movie directors in the business.

Gilliam's Brazil.

Bizarre and brilliant.

[Makeshiftatomsmasher]

Psycho Goreman.   Fucking brilliant

[Necro Red]

Picked up Salems lot and The decent in the local car boot sale. I wasn't mad on The decent when I seen it in the cinema years ago. A rewatch may change that

[Carnage]

The Descent is great, the second one isn't the best. Assuming that you got the original 'Salem's Lot, that's great. Barlowe scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.

Watched Army Of The Dead over the weekend. It had its moments but was a big ball o' shite overall. Way too long, stock characters who were routinely bumped off once they'd done their job, and Tig Notaro was fucking annoying - it worked in Star Trek Discovery, not here - though I'd take her over D'elia any day. Some interesting questions about the zombies raised that were never answered, presumably the inevitable sequel will address those.

Aye second one is woeful. But the first one is brilliant. Fantastic premise and the crawling through caves sets the tension levels to 11. And the first reveal is awesome. One of the best horror films.

And a Galway woman in it too.

yes, on a rewatch I really enjoyed it. The tension in it is something else. Got a bit of an evil dead vibe off some of it.

Yea, the original. It has dated a tad, but still a decent watch

Second one is shite, first one was decent.

Watched Army of the Dead night before last. It was ok I suppose but I wouldn't be watching it again for any reason.

Having seen "Another Round" recently and being very taken with it, I decided to take a look out for Vinterberg's other films.

Watched "Festen" ("The Celebration") on MUBI last night.

This movie is pure fucking lunacy from minute one - jet black comedy mixed with high drama and ratcheted up to a Bacchanalian fever pitch by the end. I really enjoyed it. There's something about the Danish sense of humour that really speaks to me.

Gonna try "The Hunt" next.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Hadn't clicked it was the same director as Festen! Definitely a unique movie that one haha

Festen is great, one of the Dogma 95 him and Von trier were doing back then. Look into that its interesting.  I love the Hunt too, Mikkelsen is great in it. Not as comedic as the other two though. Also try Submarino.
