Directed by Xavier Gens (Hitman) about a group of people who hideout after a robbery; yet have no idea what is waiting for them.. encountering a very sick and sadistic family off of mainlands in France and ending up becoming victims of some of the most mouthwatering dismemberments and deaths. Not more than a few minutes go by where I didnt chringe just thinking about being in any of the charactures situations; good OR bad. Not sure if I reveiwed it but feel free to check if I did. YOUR TURN.

May have been seeing the wrong film over the past couple years which "claim" to be horror. if not, i have reccomendations.
Deleted Rank : 45310	Posted : 10 months, 2 weeks ago at Jan 16 14:02 - I watched 1408, The Mist, Shutter, M. Nights crap and other jazz I can't remember right now but I've pretty much given up. Normally I wait and wait and wait until the movie is on DVD and a friend says I'd like it. I'm more into the classics anyway.

Outpost & Doomsday. Of the two I would say that Doomsday is the most enjoyable, a mish mash of every other dystopian post-apocalypse movie that has gone before it, think Mad Max meets 28 days Later meets Escape From New York, and as an added bonus Rhona Mita is hot HOT HOT. Then there is Outpost a dark, seedy film featuring zombie Nazis that builds the suspense to almost unbearable levels. Both films highly recommended from this end. Check 'em out.

Bael VIP Rank : 3	Posted : 10 months, 2 weeks ago at Jan 17 4:20 - hm, 2008 was indeed a dry year for the horror genre. this year doesn't look too bright either, with high budget remakes coming up mostly (The Wolf Man, The Evil Dead etc.), which almost always suck in comparison to the original (The Ring, The Grudge, The Eye, Funny Games and many many more). well, nonetheless i hope the occasional gem will emerge this year too.

To the people who said they havent seen a good flick this year, may i reccommend the movie Inside and the movie Mirrors; both good along with Frontier(s). was a dry year to agree with Bael, but these three in my mind kept me alive. Another film to reccommend, though not a scary as these was a film entitled Tokyo Gore Police, a brutal ultraviolent movie with a shit load of laughs.
Bael VIP Rank : 3	Posted : 10 months, 2 weeks ago at Jan 19 13:10 - i've heard that Inside and Frontier(s) are good, but to my shame i have to admit i didn't watch them yet. also those movies aren't from 2008, but from 2007 (like the recommended [REC]), so i don't know if you can count them as last years horror saving grace ;). at least there was a positive trend in the last couple of years, the development of a strong and innovative scene in Europe (especially in France and Spain).
