Deffo makes my top 20 scary list.
Me and my boys watched this a couple weeks ago(release day).
It was ok, got rather weird toward the end, definitely worth a watch but wasn't scary for me or me boys lol
Was a bit like catacombs with pink

The tall freaky loner lost in the tunnels they found was the freakiest part!

Watched The Den tonight, average found footage film but surprisingly scary in a 'slow pan around a corner' sense.

Watched Mama tonight, some good scares and creepy tension but you end up seeing a bit too much towards the end and it losses that spooky effect.

Gonna risk The Orphanage tonight (film). I've been putting it off due to it looking ultra scary.

Your in for a great ride dude, a brilliant film. The orphanage accomplishes it's scares methodically, using the somber atmosphere to give you goosebumps, the music mixed with dark corridors at night keeps you right on the edge of your seat.
Enjoy

Watched gone girl last night, I did enjoy it,very well acted especially the female lead, machine gunned with plot holes but I can overlook that as was an enjoyable watch.

Watched "seasoned house" today, starring Sean Pertwee, very harrowing watch especially knowing these kind of events happened in the Baltic war. Basically a revenge movie in the vein of "I spit on your grave" well worth the watch.

How'd you get on with the Orphanage? If you enjoyed it try "the body" and "Julia's eyes" both Spanish and both by the producer of the Orphanage, both excellent viewing, both highly rated.

Just watched it tonight, it wasn't scary but it didn't need to be, great film, very much taking key elements from the master of horror films; The Changeling.

Bitter sweet ending! I nearly welled up.

I watched The Fourth Kind last night and it was sh*te.

I've got an evolving list on ranker.com documenting what I feel are the most frightening (spooky/mystery) films ever made.

The Riot Club - An insight into the "Toffs" in England . The Bullingdon Club at Oxford is represented here I think .
***** like Cameron , Osborne and Johnson were members.
I Personally believe these people do as much harm to the UK as does any Jihadist.
After all Jihadist's have only been around for a decade or so , the "toffs" have been ruling the country for hundreds of years - for their own perpetual benefit.

I haven't been watching any films lately, but caught Shaun Meadows' This Is England(2006) again here n' there, on TV about two days ago. Everyone knows it's a brilliant film, but it was good to attend to the old but a younger Jack O' Connell in it. He plays rough roles stinking of footpath arrogance very well in every screen show so far. However, after seeing that boy on Graham Norton, I get that he doesn't have to act hard to get into this sort of roles. That was a tad disappointing, but back to This Is England, a landmark movie, which could be seen again after 2-3 years; just to watch some quality grit.

P.S.: Broken is still on my list. Will see if the young man is just one dimensional, or if there's any more to his talent.

Was full of gapping plot holes that kind of ruined it for me a little, I still enjoyed it though, although it could and should of been better.

So, the 24 year-old won his well-deserved Rising Star Bafta award tonight for his Starred Up performance. He showed up his street-wise swagger again and said in his speech that he should have brought a bag with him, to take home all the award props displayed in the stage backdrop. Clearly a hilarious and a very happy chappy.

Watched The Houses that October built last night, it started ok, plenty of mystery then faded into a sub-standard slasher flick.

Watched The Jungle tonight, bit low rent but scary. I'm not altogether sure what was stalking the characters.

Got around to watching The Possession of Michael King tonight. It started well with plenty of spooky tension and jump scares but then lost the scare factor when it got OTT and turned into a slasher film.

Decent film though.

I saw a Polish film called Suicide Room (2011) yesterday. I was unsure and prepared switch it off any time, just in case if it turned out to be crap. It was very grim (as the title of the film suggests) but surprisingly, a very good film.

A disturbing film, Pete. But makes a lot of sense. Hope you like it.

I suppose anything to do with sex, orgasms, @rse, t7ts and p@nus will be of the greatest interest of Scoobynet, but the film is much more than that.
