Raaz (2002). My first encounter with a movie from India, so i am not really sure how to rate it. This ghost story was kinda long, but it was a pretty fun watch. Cheesy scares, drawn out screaming sessions, and lots of running away from stuff. There was also a fun syle of photgraphic flare that made the characters almost seem dreamy or larger than life. The only thing that was peculiar was that, well, this was the first ghost story that continually busted out in, um, song. i am used to much less singing in horror flicks, and am probably more comfortable with, like, no singing at all (unless it is death metal as was done in Funny Games). That's about it. Ashe.

Dial M For Murder (1954)
Like Hitchcock's earlier work Rope (1948), DMFM is also a murder thriller that's not a whodunit story, but rather a simple and straightforward case where the focus is committing the perfect murder and where the only tiny fault or clue is missing that will help to catch the real criminal. Certainly one of Hitchcock's best, but the credit also go to a great paced clever play written by Frederick Knott from which the movie was adapted. As Knott was also the writer of the screenplay, the script is wonderfully constructed, the dialog is witty and beautifully captivating, with many twists and turns that spiced up the complex plot and keep it from being boring or tiresome. The movie literally is shot entirely in one single room, but Hitchcock's classy camera works allow a highly vibrant flow that never lets the movie be tedious. The film breathes and moves freely and we almost forget that we are in the same room for close to two hours. Stunning full color photography and a perfect atmospheric score for a perfect murder complete the package; where the master of suspense once again manipulates and captivates his audience in his brand crafting way. >>: A- Slaughterhouse-Five (1972) Amazing story, with a good celluloid treatment. >>: B+

Galaxy of Terror
Ok sci Fi Horror but it didn't live up to the build up other here had given it. 6/10 Twilight I wanted to fucking gauge my eyes out and stick needles in my ears. 0/10 The Assasination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford It's a good movie astheticly movie, I was already a fan of the soundtrack which added a lot to it. 7/10 In the valley of Elah Pretty slow, but not bad for a dark take on Iraq war. 7/10

Went to one movie, snuck into another after...seriously, this place only ever has eyes on who's coming in - next time, we're timing it for 3 in a row.
Drag me to Hell - The one we paid for. I actually thought it had some great atmosphere. A little over realiant on jump factor but effective all the same. I quite enjoyed it, but found myself wishing that the second half had been more towards the first, went a bit too cartoon for my liking...and deadite recycling much? Overall 7/10, it was good to see Raimi back in horror, I just feel like he should fall back on comedy a tad less. The Hangover - snuck second. I quite liked this one, probably one of the better comedies I've seen this year. Then, I don't watch a hell of a lot of comedy...it could well be the only comedy I've seen all year. All the same, I liked it, made me laugh some.

Let the Right One In
Very, very good, if just a touch pretentious.
