What did you think about the latest horror movies?

WHEN A STRANGER CALLS: I GIVE IT 1/5 stars.

Terrible movie!!

Jill, a buxom high school girl, as a punishment for exceeding her allotment of cell phone minutes, is forced by her father to spend an evening babysitting instead of attending an incredibly odd school-sponsored bonfire (which involves a cheerleader outfit, people playing trombones, and what appeared to be the giant, blazing effigy from the end of The Wicker Man. I was unable to ascertain whether any living animals and/or humans were being sacrificed inside the burning man.)

The people for whom Jill is babysitting, Dr. and Mrs. Mandrakis, turn out to live in the most awesome house ever, complete with giant picture windows overlooking a mountain lake, lights that turn on and off automatically whenever one enters or exits a room, a large enclosed koi pond / bird sanctuary in the center of the building, and an entirely ineffectual alarm system. The Manrakises head out to dinner without so much as telling Jill the names of their children or introducing her to Rosa, the live-in maid.

Jill then proceeds to spend about an hour wandering in and out of various rooms being startled by water, the cat, and her best friend, Tiffany (who, incidentally, was the most fully developed character in the movie, by virtue of the fact that she once refers to herself as "a *****".) Approximately every fifteen seconds the phone rings. Occasionally, Jill shakes things up by placing phone calls instead of receiving them. The movie finally works itself up to about four minutes of action. If you've seen a preview for this movie, you've already seen the two moments that have any potential whatsoever to alarm you in the slightest. Unless you're two of the four friends I went to see this movie with. They evidently found it frightening, but I really can't believe that they're representative of the general movie-going public over the age of nine.

Has a horror fanatic I find that some remakes are tacky and cheesy. Although some of the latest horror films have good graphics there stories are something to be desired. In other words there is no plot to them.

I have found that The Exorsism of Emily Rose was rather good and also the remake of the Amityville horror are also good films to watch. Another film is the Fog.

At the moment much of the older films are better although there are some good horror films in the pipe line so I see.

I think they are all turning into Gore movies, not Horror movies! I mean come on! I have recently watched Cry Wolf, and even that movie was filled with gore and it was only PG-13! I like the actual SCARY ones, like When A Stranger Calls which actually made you jump! Not just throw blood and dismembered body parts around! Although some gore is okay, they are just getting way to carried away with it in my opinion.

SLiTHER's easy to dismiss as cheesy and stupid if you've been brought up in the current age of hack n' slash films. In actuality, it's a nice callback for us older horror buffs to the classic b-film format and movies like Carpenter's "The Thing."

SAW II was pretty clever. Bravo for Bousman.

HOSTEL was just a lot of random, over-the-top gore and shock for me. Scary, yes. Good, no.

Haven't seen THE HILLS HAVE EYES yet.

I LOVE Wes Craven, so I just wanted to tell you that "The Hills Have Eyes" originally came out in 1977, not the fifties. "Slither" was meant to be cheesy. Oh, I love those terrible, B-rated horror flicks. I have SO many at home, on DVD and VHS. I think that there are too many video game flicks coming out and they aren't good, especially those by Uwe Boll.

The only good horror movie of late is the Devils Rejects!! outside of that...they just aren't that good!!

The Devil's Rejects and Hostel are good. Both have stories i.e. they're not just some chick running screaming from some looney.

the hills have eyes was just gross...too grusome and the rape scene was horrible...slither isnt even a horror movie its just stupid...ide rather poke my eye out...stay alive wasnt a horror wither but it was entertaining...it gives you the chills...and silent hill the game is creepy so im sure the movie will rock

Hills have eyes was terrible and nonsensical! They crossed too many lines in that movie and killed for no reason. Ugh! Hated it. Slither looks dumb.

I want to see Stay Alive and Silent Hill though.
