As far as I'm concerned, non-american filmmakers and writers have a far better grip on horror movies than american writers.Dfskelleton said:
I don't know what it is about american horror films...they just can't seem to drop the 'stupid young people in situations that no one sane would ever do' premise from their films. American horror films, now a days, are just endless parades of jump scares, and excessive female nudity.
This looks like a good concept for a film, it's just a pity that it wont be half as good as it could be.

You two do know that the original Paranormal Activity didn't use shaky cameras right? One of the main characters bought a camera that he carried around during the day sometimes which would be pretty still then would be put on a tripod at night to capture the things that were happening at night.MarsProbe said:

Oh and The River is onto its Season finale. I remember seeing a commercial for it.
Yep, I am aware Paranormal Activity didn't use shaky cam footage. I guess that as this film has a setup that will likely involve a lot of running around (whereas Paranormal Activity was set in a house), there's the fear that there would again be some person who decides to keep the recording the whole event on their handheld camera, despite there most likely being more pertinent things to concern oneself with.Krion_Vark said:
Speaking of which, having watched the trailer for REC3, it seems they've finally caught an included a scene where one character seems to being doing the sensible thing and stopping the person who is still recording the footage mid-disastert.
I agree. We have great ones every once in a while, but they're few and far inbetween. Only a handfull of directors (and writers) understand horror over here.Valis88 said:
We did have Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft, but they're both long gone, and only so many people in the industry respect their respective brands of horror.
As far as writers go, I like Stephen King's ideas, it's just that he thinks we're more interested in tons of really small, unimportant details rather than the primary focus of the book.
Me likey STALKER, me might check out. It does look half decent though.. Although I didn't really like Paranormal Activity. Still, I'm open to new things, even though the new things might make me cry at night.
I noticed that too, and since I would like to go to that place someday I want to see the movie (I usually am not a fan of horror, and the zombies/ghosts in the movie look kind of cheap, they could have gone further with some creatures closer to the bloodsuckers).rhizhim said:

.... nuke-ular? Really... I though we learned our lesson there people.

No way that section was filmed at the CEZ because that retard would now have six different types of cancer...
All in all, pretty meh film mixed with some GRATING techno-babel.

At :33 seconds, I'm almost positive that that is a screenshot from the game. And even though I hate that Paranormal Activity trash, I have to go see this since I'm obsessed with STALKER. :/
Yeah I saw the first two PA's and I am aware they used a 'fixed' camera viewpoint. But it looks like a movie about teens being hunted in a city with pocket digital cameras I assumed it would be them holding it whilst moving. As I said this was my FIRST thought, I then went onto say it looked pretty decent.Krion_Vark said:
