I have a fondness for almost any Stephen King adaptation. I really like the low budget tv movie format that most of them take.. Stuff like The Langoliers or Maximum Overdrive or The Stand before it got too religious.

I love those cheesy-shit adaptations too. I think Desperation is on Netflix and both Red Rose and Storm of the Century are on Youtube.

Storm of the Century especially is classic King cheese.

Ha, hope you like it! I'm feeling the pressure now...

Incredibly, I've seen none of the above (actually, might have seen Maximum Overdrive).

I did watch Pet Sematary after loving the book. Holy crap that was bad The demonic cat

I also watched the remake of Carrie last night, which was alright. It doesn't really add anything to the original (I'd heard that the remake focused much more on Carrie's destruction of the town than the original given the better FX budget but it didn't seem to amount much more than strawberry floating up a petrol station. I thought Hit Girl in particular made a really dull central protagonist, and Julianne Moore went for a more restrained (but no less scary) mother than in the original (the original actress apparently believed that the movie must have been a comedy given how overblown and ridiculous the character is).

EDIT; I meant to spoiler but I bolded.

If you've not seen The Langoliers (which is strawberry floating legendarily awful) then just jump straight in with the Nostalgia Critic's take on it, where he goes through it basically scene for scene ridiculing the whole thing. It's amazing.

I keep wanting to track down a movie called A Field in England which keeps getting great write ups. It's mentioned alongside Kill List, Borderlands and Wake Wood in that sort of new wave of Wicker-Man-ish Brit horror. However, I found the other three to be a mixed bag (Kill List was good, Borderlands was mostly great until it went off the deep end in the final third and Wake Wood just seemed to be a compilation of storylines from other, better movies (not least, of all things, Pet Sematary)) but I'll give it a go.

i think a field in england is done by the same person who did kill list . Also the same director did Sightseers, it's not a horror but it is a very dark comedy and brutal at times and i thought i would add absolutely brilliant.

I looked for it last night but couldn't see it - is it US Netflix only?

Yeah.

The Langoliers look like floating meatballs.

And it's got Quantum Leap's Al in it. Full of win.

I thought Kill List sounded familiar its US Netflix.

I watched it about a year ago and found it to be worth a watch.

Just watched Sightseers.



That was awesome.

Holy strawberry float, A Field in England.

That scene where the guy comes out of the tent might be one of the most strawberry floating nightmarish things I've ever seen.

glad you liked it, probably one of my favourite films ever. It is really dark but has a great sense of humour to it.

Still, my favorite horror of the last 10 years.

It's great isn't it? Shearsmith's face was perfect. Was it possession? A civil war era lobotomy? Bejesus! Also loved the way the sound was used to have their voices all calm during the raging storm.


The best horror film I've seen recently is definitely Under The Skin. The baby on the beach. Oh God.


For a more guts and gore horror, I very much enjoyed Frankenstein's Army, as silly as it was.





For something really quite upsetting, try Men Behind The Sun. It's based on the factual exploits of Unit 731. Best in original Mandarin with English subs.

Well done poser ,juts finished watching the wrong house and it was brilliant.I thought it was done really well and it was quite freaky and disturbing in parts.The main father actor was also really good,never seen him in anything before but his character was interesting.

Really? I didn't understand why that was so scary... it confused me a bit actually, given all the prior screaming.

The next bit where he's leading everyone around the field is amusing though.

@ degoose, I'm pleased you liked it. Like Triangle, it was one of those films that left me thinking about it for quite a while after it was finished.
