Granted, this flick should be seen/heard on the big screen if possible, not sure how well it will translate at home, minus a boss setup.

Disclaimer: There's no tits, which is a minor disappointment, imo.

It's ****ing great tho.

I'll start off by saying that if you're one of those stuffy "that didn't make sense" movie goers, then this isn't for you. But i enjoyed it.

The movie has all your typical jump scare cliches:

1. The movie is entirely filmed under a "pale moon light" aka, the movie is dark and filmed with shades or blues and grays. Yeah, you know what i mean.

2. The characters routinly make dumb decisions. You know, the typical, "Hey something evil and scary is happening. Everyone split up!" That kinda shit.

3. There a couple real eye roll moments.

But......

1. Excellent jump scare movie. That's what this movie is. It's a jump scare movie and it does it fairly well.

2. Excellent use of shadows and veils. The church/Nun thing gives it some real creepy vibes. Cinematography was nothing original, but it served this movie well.

In summation, this is one of those movies you took your woman to back when you were 19. The story line is full of holes, there's some scenes that are eye roll worthy, jump scares galore with some dark, brooding imagery. It's your token Hollywood horror movie, but it's really good at being that. For what it is, a cheap thrill, it did a great job. If you're a fan of "The Conjuring" movie universe, i highly advise you see this one.

Someone showed me a movie about 10 years ago that seemed like a more recent version, maybe early 90s. Group of kids are lost in a jungle environment, ran into a native tribe, and the last scene is when the guy with the camera realizes that they are going to kill (eat?) him and the group, as they close in on him. That's all I remember, but for some reason none of the other ones I've looked at seem right.

Have any of you seen the Nicolas Cage film Mandy? I have heard a bit of positive hype about it, and I have the opportunity to see it.

I watched this last night. Mainly because SR has been praising it.

I'm not sure how to best describe it. The confusing irrationality of Twin Peaks combined with the weirdest parts of Nick Cage acting sprinkled with gore and LSD. Something along those lines. Really ****ing bizarre. I'd guess half the people that watch it would want to shut it off within 10 minuets. But I thought it was a somewhat enjoyable little acid trip...

I'm watching this one tonight. It's a hybrid of Western & Horror which is pretty unique in itself. Apparently there's some scenes that are pretty gnarly.
