No that is another film.. Think it's invaders from Mars or summat like that. Leif Erikson of high chapparal was in that.Quote:

They also had films like Fu Manchu, Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes etc.Quote:

Aye I have the big basil rathbone boxsets of Holmes. Iconic stuff from a special time in filmmaking. The Jeremy Brett ones are better but both are great in own ways.
Troll Hunter (Netflix)
Norweigan film about, a troll hunter. A young film crew stumble upon one of Norways greatest secrets, trolls exits and the TSS organisation manages them. Its tongue in cheek, funny in places but also very good, the trolls in particular are well done. Plenty of blood and guts as well.
Sounds promising. I recently bought a DVD of this, but not watched it yet.Quote:

I have enjoyed it the three times I have watched it, and its generally well regarded. Its a horror film, and filmed in that happening live way that was really in vogue a few years back, but its done well and I certainly have never felt short changed by this movie. It has that matter of fact presentation that most Scandi things have, but there is a bit more pathos and humour on show than with some others Scandi films. The whole premise that Norway has a government department that manages trolls, is clever, that its underfunded and those involved struggling with the task makes it pretty gritty and believable.Quote:

I often prefer watching films that scare me (or are produced with that intention), rather than making me laugh [as I often find that boring], especially when they're rather 'dark'.
Marco.
I've seen loads of 'scary' movies and 'horror' movies, but have yet to see anything that really shocked me. Maybe I'm just thick skinned. :)Quote:

Its scary enough just taking my clothes off these days:eyebrows:Quote:

Me neither, except when I was younger. Some of the scenes in The Shining fucked a bit with my head... I've also always had a thing about 'haunted' hotels or houses, and dark foreboding places. Your use of 'weird' is better. I love weird! When it comes to films, I generally derive more pleasure from watching something gruesome and/or violent than I do something pleasant or safe. I like being 'shocked'...:DQuote:

Cosy sentimentality is a turn off for me, but I do like proper Americana movies, like 'Nobody's Fool', 'The Last Picture Show' and 'The Station Agent' for instance. Each of which is beautifully done with fantastic acting.
I've a pretty wide range of film styles in my likes. A bit like music.
I just find horror, and especially grotesque violence for sake of it a bit of a cop out.
As for intense psychological horror, not sure I see the point unless you've not had any in real life. Their scripts are usually poor and attract poor talent.
There are exceptions of course... Tarintino eg are exceptions, although not alway free from blame.
But each to their own.
Me too, on both counts. And like Geoff, I get easily bored and turned off by "cosy sentimentality". I enjoy violence in films, but only if it's cleverly done, usually by leaving much of the violence to one's imagination. It doesn't need to be graphic. Often the scariest things are what our own minds conjure up...Quote:

Also, the type of films I like watching is very much dictated by mood, especially the prevailing vibe/atmosphere, and for me the weather plays a big part in that. So when it's cold, dark, raining and rather bleak outside (as it was here last night), it puts me in the mood for watching a good psychological thriller or horror film!
I like to encapsulate and further develop the foreboding mood created, by sitting in the dark at night (or with just the glow from our wood burner, somewhat spookily illuminating the room) watching something on TV with a suitably 'dark' theme - as weird and disturbing as possible, especially just before bed...;)
I actually find the experience rather warm and comforting (as opposed to the opposite), and in a way that's difficult to describe. Dunno if that makes any sense?
Marco.
just back from dentist..that was horrific enough, although she did rest my head on her ample tits :eyebrows:
