Well I say 'watched', but in fact I fell asleep halfway through it... There was none (or very little) of the accompanying eerie music I like, and I found it quite boring (too much talking and not enough action).
For me, it wasn't at all scary or macabre - and for these particular film selections, there has to be a strong element of that in the overall 'vibe'.
So.... A little too subtle for me, and probably one for purists of this genre. What I'm after is more disposable, pre-teatime 'froth' (but done well) that has a creepy/spooky theme and 'scare factor', and which doesn't require much concentration to follow...
Creepy Factor: 4
Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. Maybe your next one will hit the spot? :)
We'll see if my chosen 'Horror Express' does so later. There are certainly enough good actors in it! :cool:

Horror Express is a reasonably good film, seen it a few times.Quote:

Nigel Kneale is the writer behind Quatermas and The Stone Tape was commissioned as a Christmas ghost story.
Indeed. I think it was the fact that it had a 'sub-plot', which was the problem (too much thinking)! :DQuote:

No, I just need something simple (but effective) to 'wash over me' before teatime. Disposable light entertainment. Yes, you'll have guessed that I'm a not a film connoisseur! :eyebrows:
Marco.
'Martyrs' is a deeply disturbing film.
Noted, Mark. Which era is it from?
Marco.
horror express is cool.
Just about to settle down and watch it now, curtains drawn, and the candles and wood-burner lit, this being time enjoyed with a rather fine Speyside malt...
