37.

Exactly the same! Loads on there I've never seen and a fair few I've never heard of. I thought I'd have missed loads of classics as the clock was ticking down and I was in the 30s, but not really. The only clangers I forgot were Se7en, Amityville Horror, Carrie, The Orphanage, Salem's Lot and Jacob's Ladder.
Some shit on the list too; The Sixth Sense and Dog Soldiers included when The Fly and Event Horizon aren't?
Just realised I missed out on the Japanese version of Ring too, because it's actually down as Ringu. Managed to get Ju-on though.

Gonna watch Insidious 3 or the Poltergeist remake tonight...

 

[Gilly?]

I wouldn't bother with the latter. Absolute pap.

 

[Cas]

Went for Insidious 3. Really enjoyed it.

 

[Craig]

Watched Chained (2012). Very unpleasant little film. 5/10

 

[Gilly?]

Just sat through Wolf Creek 2. Thought it was alright to be fair, no worse than the first one.

 

[Leewilson]

What do people think of It Follows? I can't quite work out if I'm underwhelmed by it or not.

 

[Cas]

My copy of Argento's Inferno arrived today. Yay.

It was decent, no more than that.

 

[Murphy]

Watched Chained (2012). Very unpleasant little film. 5/10

Yeah thought it was rather good aside from the shitty ending.

 

[Cas]

Anyone else looking forward to the Evil Dead TV show?

 

[Craig]

Honeymoon (2014).
Ygritte off Game of Thrones gets impregnated by extraterrestrials. 4/10

Also purchased the Jason Voorhees character on Mortal Kombat X, and it's great.

What channel will that be on?

 

[Murphy]

Z-NATION begins tonight.

Anything with zombies in gets my vote.

 

[Cas]

What channel will that be on?

Apparently it debuts on a channel called Starz on Halloween in the U.S I'll be downloading it

Z-NATION begins tonight.

Saw the first couple of episodes of Z-Nation. Really struggled to enjoy any of it.

 

[Craig]

Trailers don't look great but I'm gonna give it a watch.

 

[Gilly?]

Currently watching It Follows. Interesting concept so far. I'll report back when I'm done.

Did you shag the bird in the film and get done in by 'it'?

I thought it was a let down actually. Great concept but the main set pieces were underwhelming and the tension was only built as far as thinking 'shit, what if this happened to me" as opposed to creating extremely tense set pieces. Not quite as disappointing as The Purge but still another great concept that could have produced a better overall film.

Unsure what to think overall, it was a bit like Disturbing Behaviour in a way. The concept was really good, the acting was pretty good, it was well filmed. Everything about it was bang on but there's a feeling of being quite underwhelmed by it. I really can't put my finger on it, maybe I'll watch it again in the near future to see if I can work it out.

 

[Cas]

Just about to Argento's Inferno. After that might watch Spring or The Harvest.

 

[Smudge]

Horror tv night. Latest episode of American Horror Story then some X Files!

 

[Cas]

Watched Inferno last night. Was pretty decent.

 

[Craig]

Watched Nailbiter (2013).
During a twister a family takes cover in a seemingly abandoned storm shelter. Not too shabby for a low budget horror. 6/10

 

[Leewilson]

I watched Saw for the first time in years last night. I think the devaluation of the sequels had made me forget what a bloody brilliant film it is. I'd forgotten quite a lot of it bar the ending so seeing how it twisted and turned and didn't just stay in the bathroom the entire time was interesting.

Superb. Oh, and the music. I could honestly listen to it on repeat.

 

[Cas]

Watched Ghosthouse last night. Bit shit.

 

[Cas]

Okay then

 

[Craig]

I don't think I've seen any of the Tremors sequels.

Watched half of The ABC's of Death 2 the other night, hit and miss like the first one, will finish it later.

 

[Leewilson]

Okay then

I've only seen the original Tremors, great film. But, oh my, don't tell me Burt has been in every one of the sequels? Shocked to see any cast members from the original are in number 5 of what must be a pretty shite franchise (bar the first).

 

[Gilly?]

I don't think I've seen any of the Tremors sequels.

Just started The ABC's of Death 2 now. Only on B and I can't be arsed to finish it.
