Watched 'Death Watch' last night - a very effective supernatural thriller about a group of lost British soldiers (WW 1) who come across a German trench system. Lots of mud, rain and corpses! Low budget, but doesn't really suffer because of this. Anyone else seen it? | ||

Yeah, it was pretty decent, I thought. Saw it a while ago, a good few months before you, Lincoln. You should be ashamed. And don't start claiming being on the other side of the world from the makers as an excuse. Tsk!  | ||

I thought the film had its moments, but would've liked it to have a little more, I dunno...vavoom? I'd stick it in the "not bad" category. | ||

I reviewed this bugger at least two years ago! I too thought it effective, stumbled a bit now & again but a damn good try. gcw | ||

It was okay... but, like The Bunker and Outpost, nothing really special. I'm still waiting for someone to do this theme justice. | ||

mmm...interesting. I was going to say you were a bunch of fussy buggers - then I remembered that most of you rated 'The Mist' and 'Cloverfield' rather highly  | ||

Just because you live darn unda, don't think you're immune to a good smacking, mate. I'll set Weber on ya. He can do that slow fighting like in The Matrix. | ||

No he can't, but he does a mean windmill impression. :-) | ||

Hey, Lincoln, at least people are posting in your thread - my poor turtles thread looks like it's set to be the 'least posted on' thread in RCMB history! | ||

>>>Just because you live darn unda, don't think you're immune to a good smacking, mate. I'll set Weber on ya. He can do that slow fighting like in The Matrix. Excuse me? you've not paid for the last time you wanted me to sort someone out yet!!! As it happens, I am training for a brown belt in Ju jitsu at the moment (not right at this moment obviously, it's difficult to type and throw someone six feet across a room at the same time). As i spotted last time I watched the matrix - Ju jitsu is the first martial art Neo learns. I also have a tendency to wear long black leather jackets but this is honestly a complete coincidence. | ||

I was quite disappointed with this movie. And I agree with Huw that this subject hasn't been given the treatment it deserves. Of Outpost, The Bunker and Deathwatch, I found 'The Bunker' the best of the lot. Good little movies, but somehow not what they could have been. Weber - how are you at breaking inanimate piece of wood? A totally pointless exercise (unless one is set upon by an attacker bearing a piece of driftwood), but fucking ace to watch. I reserve the right to use fuck as demonstrated on the thread regarding grammar. BTW - I did Judo for five years but found it nigh impossible to get any attackers to stand still for more than five seconds so I could adopt the required stance or move. | ||

OK, I have the following films on my hard drive, ready to burn to DVD - which one/s should I watch first? (I haven't seen any of these before) 'Suspiria' 'Inferno' 'The Abandoned' 'Inland Empire' 'The Haunting'(1963) 'The Eye'(original) | ||

Gosh, you're spoiled for choice there, Lincoln. Of the two Argentos, I would watch Suspiria first, although it's not strictly necessary. The Haunting is good haunted house fare, and The Eye is eerily effective for the most part. I was somewhat disappointed with The Abandoned, which I found unnecessarily convoluted, but it did have some nice, creepy touches. I haven't seen Lynch's film yet, but I suspect that it will not disappoint, if you're in the mood for something weird. | ||

Lynch's feels like a marathon at times ... or rather a nightmare than you just can't wake up from. It's so bloody long! Rewarding by the time it's done, but you ought to be prepared for a long horrible (in a good way) journey. | ||

'The Haunting'(1963) 'The Abandoned' 'The Eye'(original) 'Suspiria' 'Inferno' 'Inland Empire' (save the longest and weirdest till last!) |
