To be fair, I do think the music is scarier than the movie.

Yeah, i was totally wondering how Elwes looked now. I think I saw him few years ago, In something. I had imagined he puffed up, though

I don't know why I think the concept of him is funny, but i do.

I don't want to hear him whining, though...

I've liked him since The Princess Bride and think it sucks that he didn't become a bigger star, actually. But such is life.

Check out Saw when it comes out next week, you might like it. But I hope you have a strong stomach!

I thought the scariest was the music on the "The Omen" - and, in general, Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastic (sp.?) - esp. since The Shining

Eh, The Omen did nothing for me except make sure I always use a condom to prevent little Damien's.

The music in Texas Chainsaw is pretty disturbing. That scratching of the piano string, sheesh.

But that scene with Shawnee Smith where she has her head in that clamp and has to get the key out of that guys stomach? Ho****. I lost my popcorn.

YEA! And he was *ALIVE*...but you know...man if I was in that situation, I think I might do it!

I mean I don't know if I would, but I'd hate to loose my head like that with the clamp and all!

And another thing that freaked me out was the way he had on the clown mask...

VERY upsetting, scared me!

They are going to make a Saw 2.

I like him ok, but in a cheesy B movie way.
Yeah, I actually don't have a strong stomach, or brain, or whatever. So I might not pick that one up right away. Thanks for the recommend, though. Actually, when i rented Suspiria, I waited 5-6 days before i watched it, in anticipation of being really grossed out and scared.

I was scared to watch it.

Oh, no.

They always have to run everything into the ground and ruin good movies.

Tell me about it!

I do hope though that maybe it exceeds expectations!

Head clamps?

I would have had to been carried out on a stretcher.

Have you seen the original Japanese version, "Ju-On?" Way scarrier, and you don't have to put up with Sarah Michelle Gellar for two hours.

Yeah, they flopped at the "non-linear" storytelling. Once the narrative is unravelled there's nothing there. That's not how it's supposed to work.

So gory and gross, but so compelling and nailbiting.

I can't believe it got such horrible reviews. All the Austin Chronicle could say was that the director was tipping his hand too much with other horror film references and borrowings like from "Seven" etc...

That is not enough to tank a film in my opinion.

Now Cary Elwes's acting is another story...

(holds nose) peeee-ewwwwww!

Yeah, Ju-On was a hundred times better.

Some of the dialogue in The Grudge is horrifically awful and Gellar has one look plastered on her face throughout the whole thing. Some of the effects looked very fake, too, they should have worked on them some more.

But, on a better note, the first season of Murphy Brown and the second season of Punky Brewster come out tomorrow.

I'm happier than a pig in ****.

I thought it was better than Seven, so they can bite my ass. Seven was dull and Brad Pitt's presence didn't help. I loathe him. o_O

I was fine with Elwes until the last twenty minutes. OMG, he was bloody awful. When he was on the phone listening to his wife and kid screaming? Oy. How whiny and annoying was he?

Jeezus, I was laughing out loud at that part!!

In fact, I remember laughing so hard that my husband nudged me in the ribs. Elwes was pure cheese at that moment. I really have to say though, I appreciated it because of the cheesiness. I'm weird like that.
