[twins2]

Not sure about this one.Made me jump a few times.Lots of blood and monsters.Had a few chuckles and thought the story a bit different but a little suprised at the ending.Okay for a freebie.

Oh so you were the lovely lady sitting next to my OH! Thanks for putting up with him, and next time you see us, do say hi as we always like to meet new FMUKers! He told you the story about the 7ft tall bloke, didn't he?

LOL no he was lovely and very funny! Thanks will do, although I'm not great at recognising people. Oh yeah he did tell me that story, I bet he won't mess with your OH again!

Stupid chat on Free Films! What's the matter with you! All deleted.

I like horror films but found this rather tedious. The supposed plot twists were not very inventive or surprising. It was a kind of reverse Adustment Bureau.

[experttechie]

it seemed to be a mishmash of
1-the cube (the government bit)
2-van helsing (the monsters bit)
3-cabin fever (the cabin bit)
with the end section being
4-Operation: Endgame

the above are excellent movies - extracting the basis of each into 1 film is not, the person i went with described it as "stupid"

I was catching up on other people's comments but gave up a few pages ago after all the spoiler tags!

I thought this was brilliant. It was inventive, playful, dramatic, comedic, satirical and gory all at once. I never thought the gore was too much but maybe I have become accustomed to it in TV and films so it doesn't bother me like it used to. There were some moments that had me in stitches. I could never tell how it was going to play out, so I didn't see the ending coming. The finale was a bit OTT but at least the film built up to something crazy and unpredictable. I think this is my favourite film of the year. I wish I could watch it again. 9/10.

I did watch it again tonight, and is just as good on a second viewiing. I can't believe that I must have micro- Zzzzz'd at the same point again as I missed seeing the bit where they read the diary in the cellar. I have no recollection of the "Patience" character who ? wrote the diary. I have to admit that I felt my eyes "resting" for a few moments early on in the story. This was no reflection on the movie, but a late night last night coupled with a warm dark comfortable cinema. Lol.

Still ace!

I waved to you as you were looking around for a seat - late as usual!! There was an empty seat beside us but I would have given you a dig in the ribs if you had started to snore. Patience was the girl with only one arm.

I quite enjoyed the film but rather gory and a bit weird for me - probably why you wanted to watch it again, stuartboy!
