Bugger, Blockbusters just sent that to me. Oh well ill give it a watch, nothing to lose.
I really enjoyed it but I have realised from this thread that I am quite easily pleased 
Anyone seen Sinister yet? Can’t decide whether to make the effort to see it. Saw The Possession and enjoyed that, quite scary although I hate moths so that did it for me in the scare department.

I completely agree, up to about 45 mins (perhaps even 30mins) into the film, because that's when I turned it off.
I was sat thinking to myself "I simply do not care what happens, and could be doing something far more valuable with my time" so turned it off. Very rare for me to do that to a film, even a poor one!

Cheers! That was my thought too. Plus my mate doesn't like when I scream like a girl in the cinema, so perhaps I should watch all horrors at home mike13 said:
Must admit i jumped a couple of times,don't think anyone noticed as there were only four other people in the cinema
I never actually screamed outloud till I saw ending of Chernobyl Diaries, but I certainly wasn’t the only one who did. My mate said she screamed because I did. I don’t believe her.
Caught a few on the plane yesterday.
The Hunter - Willem Defoe tracking down the Tasmanian Tiger. A morose 7/10.
The Amazing Spiderman - OK but pointless reboot. No better than Maguire's version. 6/10
Killer Joe - Matthew McConaughy is hitman/cop in hicksville, Texas. Brutal and misogynistic with interesting use of KFC. 7/10

Maybe that one just particularly flicked my "crap" buttons 
I don't think snow white helped. all she ever did was look, slightly open mouthed, at the camera.

Did either of you know how bad it was going to be before you watched it? If so, what possessed you?!I have just read the parental guide on IMDB and, well, I just can't believe anyone would make that let alone watch it!
Makes A Serbian Film sound like Bambi.

I'd watched the first one after hearing everyone talk about it. It was nasty but not 'that' badI have just read the parental guide on IMDB and, well, I just can't believe anyone would make that let alone watch it!

Hadn't heard anything about the second one and just decided to give it a watch as I was a bit bored the other night. Had no idea it was going to be as graphic/sick as it was
Prometheus
Well I liked it.
Absolutley gorgeous visuals
Fassbender was good
Story was acceptable
and I'm not getting into the geekery of whether the vehicles were RHD last time we saw them or if the Alien was anatomically correct...not interested in that.
Negatives? I didn't care about any of the characters, so the violence and drama had a quite heavily reduced impact.
I just loved the look of it all really... 6.5/10

I agree with this.I think a lot of the hatred for it is down to expectations. Like many, I esxcitedly went to the cinema to see it expecting something of the calibre of Aliens but with 20 years of technology advance.
Sadly it fell way short of expectations which exaggerated the ordinariness.
As a stand-alone film with no expectations it would have been reasonably good. FOr me,, the expectation was just too high so it was a massive dissapointement.
