Im sure some folk will come along in a minute and disagree, but this is one properly scary movie! I jumped out of my skin more than a dozen times, its nail biting agony all the way through, without a moments lapse in tension which just builds and builds and then builds some more. Cant say Ive been this scared since I was 9 watching american werewolf in london.

Praps its just one of those nights where any scary movie would have done the trick.

I have to completely disagree... Biggest pile of pop I have ever seen. Has anyone seen 'Alone in the dark' yet? That is ten times worse! How do these films ever get made???

Same here mate. Seen hundreds and hundreds of horror flicks over the last decade, nothing scares at all any more. Its all mild amusement with the occasional eek at best these days.

Both my GF and I were shitting bricks whilst watching this film though. I jumped so much I nearly gave her a heart attack... the aforementioned dozen or so times

If I wanted your opinion, Id have rattled your cage

The movie didnt have a single positive comment on cover, id say 90% of this flick's terror is imagination borne, which, given that my imagination is likely superior to yours, is why it had such a profound effect

The email link is there, between the photo of JC and the other photo below it. I personally dont get too involved on the technical side of things, which I freely admit makes me the most unqualified person in the company I own

A boss should focus on other things, like reading pistonheads during the day, driving his car, and whinging that sad horror flicks are scaring him shitless Got loads of PHer clients though drop me an email, I'll do the best to help you however I can

Could it possibly be that you are entertained by less than others? Boogeyman was a second rate movie. Story was crud, the effects were crud. Characters were crud. It wasn't scary at all. Generally makes for a crud movie overall

Agreed on all points. But... Im sure it has something to do with the unseen element, the hidden in the shadows factor, which leaves your imagination to do most of the work. I really enjoyed that film!

I suppose it depends on the mood you're in, a dark room helps, good sound quality etc. There are days when I just cant get into a film which when watched another night become personal favourites.

I could, but photos like these are best left to the imagination

ites.


Even the 'left to the imagination' side of things was utter rubbish.

Whateva..

I took this picture of her the other day (the damn sun caught the lense)

You see how much she likes me? promoting my website infront of the photographers!
