Cool pic..

Loks like some one else they thought they looked similar:



bruce macdonald looks alot like Ray Winstone.

Guy on the left looks like a young Brad Pitt but dreamier....

What else has the director done that worth checking out (or where should I start)?

FC - the film did amazing at the box office (especially considering the budget) - I thought it was pretty good but much like Blair Witch I can't see much replay value..

However, on the other hand, it's particularly good for such a small budget. However, I don't think it'll survive long alongside some of the big wigs.

I understand we're meant to be clueless like them, but certain things like the flaming Ouija board didn't really need to be in there. Made worse by the constant screaming of nearby girls at every bump and creak (coughing on purpose at times of suspense was fun :D). The only bit worth watching is the last ten minutes, which is the only reason it reached as high as a C.

Watched it twice?

Summer's Moon (2009)

Law Abiding Citizen (2009)

Disappointed with the ending.

>>: B-


Dread (2009)



Three college students producing a documentary on the true nature of fear are slowly drawn into a world of nightmares when one member of the group begins exploiting the phobias of his fellow participants in hopes of seeking salvation from his own dark obsession.

As it is already selected for 2010's HORRORFEST 4, I should say this is going to be a great entry in compare to those "films to die for" of recent years. As on directorial debut Anthony DiBlasi pretty impressively adapted Clive Barker's short story of the same title. Pretty slick, dark & twisted, I liked it. The ensemble cast also delivered adequate performance that was needed.

Recommended.

>>: B+

I Know Who Killed Me.

Boring as hell, I only kept watching cause of my amputee fetish. Even that was lacking, what with the crazy artificial limbs and Lindsay Lohan being grossly Kate Moss, cocaine chic, skinny.

I always forget how good this movie actually is, I wonder why I don't give it enough credit. :confused:

Maniac! (1980). With the exception of some of the worst acting that i have seen in a while, this was actually a great movie. The lead character, played by Joe Spinell, was chilling in its portrayal of a madman. Told from the point of view of the killer, we get to hear some of the inner dialogue that this psycho intrigues in, and this was probably more frightening than the actual kills. There are plenty of great gore scenes, especially for its time, with of course the one infamous scene that is still pretty shocking. The sound track was perfectly over the top, the direction was fine, and the camera work was splendidly playful. All in all a good time for the dedicated sicko. Ashe.

District b13: Ultimatum
It was ok, but not as good as the first IMO, storyline might've been slightly better but something just wasn't as "fun" in this one, I think the fight choreography was better in the first.
If there's a double pack I'd probably buy it.
If you liked the first, this is a decent follow up - cool music too.
