But he wasn't an effective bad guy/monster
and she was just flat out annoying. I haven't liked her in anything since Run Lola run and the Bourne films though.

You're right
as bad guys go he was pretty lame. I guess I rate it because it came out at a time when everyone was doing torture porn it was nice to see something slightly different.

Torture porn?
Like Hostel? God that was awful

Yup
I used to be a fan of Eli Roth until he did that. You shouldn't go to watch a horror film at the cinema and spend the entire film laughing.

There are so many horror films out there that are torture related and just so crap. That’s all it is, they just try and make you uncomfortable by seeing too much. I personally like a little bit of suspense and mystery, my imagination is far scarier I don’t need to see someone burn an eyeball out of someone’s head. Ho-hum.

Before he did that...
You liked Cabin Fever?

I did
again, it was something different. I didn't really think it was scary, it was more funny and worrying as if I was stuck in a cabin in the middle of nowhere with some of my dumbass friends, and the events in the film actually occured in real life, they would all die or get eaten by dogs etc.

I saw too much of my friend Alan in one of the characters. :S

I really liked the first two Saw films, but they quickly went downhill
Hostel was recommended to me, so I duly watched it and haven't laughed so much for a long time.

See
I really didn't like the Saw films, I have only seen 1, 2 and 3, I don't think you could force me to watch any of the others. They're just terrible.

He wasn't too bad
I found it much better after watching the DVD extras which explained who he was and what happened in his earlier life.

For me, if a film has to rely on extras on the dvd to make the film more plausible then it has failed.

A valid point

( SpikeyPickle wishes he was mabazaritchie, Wed 10 Jun 2009, 14:47, Reply)

Yeah
They didn't really touch on it too much in the film, perhaps they were trying to keep it short!?

that would be it
It made me feel quite sympathetic for Vincent to be honest. I felt a bit sad for Samara after watching The Ring as well.

Hehe
I felt sorry for Samara too, I got shouted at by a friend for being sympathetic towards the baddie. Hehe

But she didn't mean to be the bad guy
it was only because of stuff that happened to her. I felt bad for her too.

That was my point too
They wern't having any of it. :(

Same applies to 'The Grudge'

( SpikeyPickle wishes he was mabazaritchie, Wed 10 Jun 2009, 15:08, Reply)

Yup
I agree. There are quite a few films out there where you end up feeling sorry for the baddie.

My big example of this is Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Every time I watch it I want Alan Rickman to win.
