My Review:
Another great horror movie, with a interesting story. A bit different story actually. A horror movie with a great deal of suspence in it aswell.  And i like what they have done with it. They are chasing a guy who is killing people\animals and streaming it live etc, just to taunt the FBI and cops. And i like how intense the chase gets trough out the end of the movie. A movie with a few twists. And a good mix between psychological horror and a few grapich scenes aswell. And for me they kept up the intensity trough out the movie. And i like what Diane Lane (the lead actress) did with this one. A great mix horror as said. Wich i would highly recommand you guys to watch!

My Review:
Again, after a real slow week with alot of stuff happening i got around to watch this one. Another blind buy, didnt know really what to expect other then it was from John Carpenter. The movie started of strong, about a girl that get sent to a "looney bin" back in the old days. sorry my expression (dont know the english word for it) And in that place stuff happens, people disappears, and there is something or someone that hunts this place. And i think the story is interesting, and like what they have done with all the "we are chasing a ghost" thing. A good mix between pschyological and some gore in the mix. What they was trying to tell us was also ok. But a bit slow at times, and a bit confusing at times too. And the acting was the finest i've seen either. And the filming and editing could have been better. But what they had to work with, i think they did ok. And i kinda like the twist trough the end of the movie. And i liked how they decided to end the movie. IMO that was a good touch.
All in all, an ok horrormovie. Not my favourite horror movie, but an ok one. Check it out if you want to.
Worth a check out IMO (if you find it cheap somewhere, or allready own it)

My Review:
This movie was a movie i was looking forward to see actually. And it was nice to see Hilary Swank again in a movie (long time since for me) Heard great things about the movie aswell. The story itself was creepy enough. But um.. The movie started of too slow for my taste really. Stuff didnt start to happend before over midway trough the movie. And you kinda knew how the things would end, and what would happend really. I had kinda high hopes for the movie, with Hilary Swank as the lead character. But the movie started of real slow, and when it "first started" it never really kicked off, or picked up any pace. And for the real horrory\grose stuff, they didnt do a good job with it at all. They missed imo too many spots. It was a movie with great potential, but imo they dropped the ball on this one. With the actors in the movie, they should have done more with it really. And i will not recommand it really. :\

My Review:
I am prolly way too late for the party, but i just watched this one. (i havent seen any other of the movies. not even the original) But i've heard this was a great movie. And i have to agree. I kinda found the story interesting. And the monster that are chasing some guys in a dream, and try to do stuff. Well, is it a dream? I think they did a great job with the "chase" after the monster that keeps coming up in those nightmares. Is it real? Or is it just something they have dreamt? They have driven a fine line here, not too much of that or this. And i liked what we learned about the victims. (let us call them that) And i like how they made it all so real. And a few good scare moments aswell, and a few good gore scenes. And the special efects and makeup team did a great job with this one IMO. The picture and sound quality was pretty decent aswell. Great job there! And it was nice to see Rooney Mara again. Did a good job IMO. And the ending.. WOW, i actually didnt see that coming at all! Well, for the people who havent seen this one. You should! For me, this is a must watch\have for all you horror fans out there! Highly recommanded!

Agree with everything you say about The Ward. A capable film, but a little disappointment for us Carpenter fans.

For the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street - I enjoyed it but just didn't dig Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy.

[Piffi]

Agreed Sam! But for the Nightmare at Elm Street, i havent seen any of the others
so i cant say anything about them. But maby i should get around to watch them sometime.

My Review:
This is a movie i saw a few years back on dvd. And i really enjoyed it back then, and i always wanted to upgrade to bluray. And now i've finally got the chance to check it out again on blu. And what a great movie it is really. (based on a true story) After a young couple comes back to their summerhouse after a wedding, to relax and think things over. Slowy things are happening with both them and the house. Is it someone that plays a prank on them? Or is it someone that want them dead? (Well i like the story obv.) nothing much you can do with that i guess since its based on a true story?
A lot of good scenes in this movie, some real good scare moments. And when you see what happens to those two people. I cant help but wonder, how sick and twisted can people really be?  And i was thinking a few times trough out the movie "This really happend to someone" And that kinda scared me the most. But for the movie yes. A lot of good moments, a few twists here and there. Allright acting by Liv Tyler aswell.  The music wasnt the best, but ok. The filming and editing was good aswell. And the ending aswell, great ending. (now i dont know if thats with the story, or if it is something they decided to add) but a great detail IMO.  A great horror movie that actually recommand all horror fans out there to check out! Highly recommanded IMO!

My Review:
Oh.. This movie i've heard almost "everything about" its the best, its so scary etc.. And now finally i got the chance to sit down and watch it. And wow, you guys are 100% correct! What a movie, its too much awesomeness in this movie to write about. So i will just write a few things about it. First of i just have to say something about the babygirl and the tv. How creepy is that? In the first scene? Holy smokes. And the creepyness and scare moments just kept coming trough out the movie. And i just have to say something. WHATS WITH THE KLOWNS!!! (gah!) Dont like'em at all. And then this small older lady comes to the house. What a creepy lady! (she was enough to give me nightmares) and with that look, and that voice! Just wow. And the stuff they made happen in the movie aswell, with the visual efects, the makeup team. Amazing job! This might just be the grandmother of all paranomal movies. A movie that truly enjoyed from start to finish. A movie that cant recommand highly enough! A MUST see\have for any horror fans out! Pure class! Mr. Steven Spielberg did it again huh?

My Review:
I will just start of by saying that i have NOT watched the original, just this remake. I've heard alot about this one. And now i finally got the chance to check it out. It is a incredible hard movie to watch, alot of brutal and heartbreaking scenes. And a very cruel movie too. It is a very strong and sick and twisted horror movie, about a girl that after alot of things happening to her, is out to get revenge (rightfully so!) And what happend to her was very hard to watch. The revenge she is getting is setting this movie up for a lot of gore, and some graphic scenes. A movie (for the horror part) did its job very good. But this is a horror movie for those who are not easy offended, or dont have a weak heart.  Its a good horror movie, but a very diffecult one to watch. If you allready have seen the original, you know what it is. But if not, check out the trailer first.

One of the better horror remakes IMO. I enjoyed it.

The original is very different though, especially in tone, and far superior if you ask me. I would definately check it out but it is an acquired taste.

[Piffi]

I gotcha.. I've been looking for the original, and i find it on amazon.uk, but it says nothing about
English subtitles etc. I need atleast English subtitles 

[samuelrichardscott]

You might find a site I work on useful for subtitle info: www.dvdcompare.net

In the UK, the 3 disc Ultimate Edition from Metrodome does NOT have any subtitles at all but is uncut. The older Anchor Bay release DOES have subtitles but is and older print from before the BBFC waived all cuts and is cut by 31 seconds. However, the cut scenes are still on the DVD via DVD-Rom (it takes you online to see the scene).

The Finnish release is pretty good also:
http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=1820#5

If you ever have any questions about subtitles on UK releases, let me know because I'm in contact with people at the majority of the labels in the UK and can almost certainly answer the majority.

You have the wrong movie linked

This is the good one on DVD and Blue-Ray
