When I was ill last week, I watched 2 series of Game On. It's still bloody brilliant. I'm still in love with Sam Janus. Have been since I was 14.

 

I want to see Carry on Screwing now.

So I finally got round to watching [Rec]

[The King Of Swing]

Still got both [rec] films as well as Paranormal Activity 1 & 2 gathering dust in my to watch pile, I'll get around to them one day.

[NEWM]

Watched Paranormal Activity 2 tonight, as it happens. Actually really good.

I was really impressed with how well it was interwoven with the first film, and the visual of mental spooked Katie with the demon inside her coming for the baby at the end was terrific. Also, I'm normally pretty level when it comes to jumpy bits in films, but I nearly shit a house out at the bit where the kitchen cupboards all popped open.

Yeah, that bit was one of the best jump-scares I've ever experienced in the cinema. The entire audience completely shat themselves.

[DrNo]

Just watched Paranormal Activity 3. For those fans of the first two, this tells the backstory to Katy and Christie brilliantly. So many jumpy bits, that have tense buildup and an ending that'll have you begging for it to be next Halloween for the next addition to the series.

[MindGrrind]

Watched Episode 50 the other day. Worst horror film i've ever seen and that's saying something. Unrealistically acted, the plot was badly explained and lots of things just weren't really linked together. So I wouldn't recommend it.

[big mickey]

Watched the first series of Downton Abbey

 

And you know what? I bloody loved it!!

Paranormal Activity 3

 

Went to see this last night and loved it. as said its the backstorys of Katie and christi from the first two movies when they were little girls and just right there is a great setting because little girls acting creepy is very chilling when done right and it is excellent during this. as before the tension gradually rises during the film but it's the little scares that are very well done.

 

its a very good cast(the little girls especially are great sports for the things they are put through) dennis is a very likeable character and his friend randy is a good laugh as well.

 

the tensions builds during the movie from a smaller scale to a much larger but even then there are some excellent little things placed during that are little creepy touches that are very frightening.

 

but for my favourite moments(and general thoughts)

 

<-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler

when they are making the sextape at the start and the dust falls down on the figure (toby)who looks like a massive fucker and he runs away as fast as he can. thats very good.

 

they only manage to repeat the one thing from the earlier movies which is katie just blankly staring looking at her parents in bed for about four hours. its creepy but its been done before.

 

the little scares where julie comes out of the closet and the babysitter says BOO into the camera are just your basic little jump scares. i laughed but a lot of people in the audience were got by it which was great.

 

the bedsheet creeping up on the babysitter was fantastic. i just thought it was one of the girls but when the sheet drops i'll admit i was got.

 

everything in the kitchen disapperaing and then dropping from the ceiling was the best scare in the film. worked in well with the oscialting camera that dennis "invented"

 

katie running into the "wall" and then getting yanked up by her hair and her bloody mary game with randy (especially randy getting scratched by toby were frightening.

 

the kids bloody mary game that was in the trailer was not in this movie. i was expecting it but its a trailer and these things happen.

 

when katie is getting sucked into the vortex (or whatever) the best touch was the occult symbol on the light brite in their room. that was brilliant and i think showed that the makers and researched what they could do with things from the era

 

and so towards the climax where toby had been trying to get everyone to go to grandma's house and i thought the creepiest part of the movie was when the girls were playing dress up and christi was dressing as a bride and her mom asked who the lucky guy was and in her sweet little voice said "its toby". errrrr chills then.

 

the whole end sequence with the figure dennis and the camera sees and then he goes to the shed because he cant find anyone and your thinking dont go the shed you twat but he does and its pitch black and he gets the light on and theres the old women in a line just staring at the door (got the biggest scream in the audience)

 

i thought that some deal was made with christi first born and she must have got 'married' to toby. so we will probably find out more in part 4.

 

the only gripe would be how the last tape was found. did grandma keep it just for laughs? but i'm ok with that

these movies are getting better with each one and at this point in the saw series was where i dropped out but i'm there for the 4th film (probably next halloween)

 

if you are a fan of the series this comes with the highest recommendation

I finally got round to watching Scream 4 last night.....it was surprisingly watchable and definitely fitted in within the framework of the series, only major downside for me was Courtney Cox's face. What the fuck has she done to herself? she looks like Joan Rivers' older sister.

The thing that I found stupid was....

 

<-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler

if there mother had been killed in this film, why do we see her on the later films?!

 

Also, they were going to watch these tapes before the events of the originals, why then did they claim not to believe in ghosts?!

 

I suppose the general gist of it is....

 

The grandmother did a deal with the demon for wealth, and sacrifcied the family's first born son...which was Hunter, hence why it came back in the originals to claim the debt.
