I saw Signs(spoiler warning)
 
Dont worry, I wont give too much away. Let me just start off by saying GO SEE THIS MOVIE NOW. Im not easily impressed by movies(I didnt like lord of the rings), but this movie impressed me. Truly frightening. Its what you dont see thats scary. It was better than 6th sense, and unbreakable. (both directed by M. Night Shamalan). You will never look at corn fields the same way again. Peirod. Anyone else seen it? be sure to warn those who havent seen it of possible spoilers.

At first, I thought this movie was gonna be another steaming pile of horse poo. But I might actually see it now.

Joeiss 08-03-2002 08:23 PM

I am seeing this movie on Tuesday with some of my friends! It looks so good. I heard the director really captures the quietness and spookyness in the entire movie.

Ginkasa 08-03-2002 08:31 PM

Oh man this movie was awesome! I just saw it earlier today. Loved it :D

DeathsHand 08-03-2002 08:33 PM

I sawed it... 'twas good... wasn't really scary to me though :unsure:

Peoples was jumping at a number of various places, but I wasn't (^-^

Still good though... and quite funny, too... quite a lot of humorzzzz :p

Yeah... Better than unbreakable... dunno about the sixth sense though.... maybe... juuust maybe......

GameKinG 08-03-2002 09:23 PM

Not this again...DH your like...very imune to being frightened.

I guess thats a good thing...but not so much in a enthusiastic thread...

Guy one: I was on the edge of my seat THE WHOLE MOVIE!

Guy two: It was one of the best movies I ever saw!

DH: Yeah it was good...


:p

:p

Well when it comes to startling moments I just don't seem to get startled anymore... I mean sometimes I did... I think maybe I kinda jumped at one part of Signs, although I forgot which one :p

But I can almost always predict when something's gonna pop out... I guess it's cuz I've watched so many horror movies and played games like RE so much :D

As for me just saying stuff like "Yeah it was good"... I suck at rating movies... I like pretty much anything...

Guy: That movie rocked!

Me: Yeah it was good

then about another movie...

Guy: Man that movie blows!

Me: It was OK...

:p

GameKinG 08-03-2002 09:48 PM

So what do you think is the scariest movie you have seen? With all those horror movies.

Ginkasa 08-03-2002 10:00 PM

His name is Deathshand... If he's the hand of death than he wouldn't be easily scared....


*cough*

GameKinG 08-03-2002 10:01 PM

Uhhh...I guess...I thought he ripped that off of somebody though.

DeathsHand 08-03-2002 10:09 PM

My brother thought the name up, and I'm not really the hand of death ;)

But errmmm... I can't say which movie scared me the most... just cuz none of them really scared me that much :D

Sometimes I get scared by books though... Like Stephen King books... because I get to imagine things for myself, and it always ends up being my scarier than things in the Stephen King movies that I've seen... Pet Semetary, The Shining, Children of the Corn... a couple more...

Along with all 3 exorcist movies... 5 of the halloween movies... a couple friday the 13th movies... Amityville horror... and then a number of non-series movies... Yeah... Sixth Sense, What Lies Beneath... a lot mo... fo sho... Then horror movies that are considered horror, but don't even try to be scary... like Interview with the Vampire (Which you should all see or I'll kill you :D )

but I dunno which is scurriest...

I think I might have said this at Ndose.net (if you saw it), but even though the movies don't really scare me that much, for some reason it's like my fav. genre pretty much... I just like the whole feel of ze movies even if it doesn't scare me (^_^

By ze way, aren't we a bit off topic? :hmm:

GameKinG 08-03-2002 10:12 PM

Uh...yeah...

This movie...umm...whatcha ma call it sounds good. Maybe Ill see it.

EDIT: Signs...yes...

Jason1 08-03-2002 11:28 PM

Okay first off, this isnt your normal scary movie. Its like the Eternal Darkness of movies, in a sense. Your scared of what you dont see. Even when I know its coming, it still got my heart racing. That scene in the Cornfield was incredible, along with the birthday scene(my favorite in the movie), and the pantry scene, and of course the ending was great. This is not a movie about crop circle's. Not at all. Its so much more. This movie blows Unbrakable and Sixth sense away completly. Easily the best movie I have seen in 2 years, minimum. M. Night Shamalan is a god. WOOT!!!!

Crono 08-04-2002 01:15 AM

Hopefully I can see this movie sometime soon...

Drunk Hobbit 08-04-2002 09:58 PM

*Spoiler warning*




Just got back from the movie. It was pretty good. A lot more funny/sad/moving than scary. The end with the alien sort of didn't feel right, along with the hand that reached under the door before they ran into the basement. Both seemed very fake. Also if the alien was suppose to be so damn fast why didn't it move faster when it went up against the baseball bat, and the one in Brazil caught on hom camera? And the whole dying from water thing was so stupid. M. Night's not a bad actor though. Did his part pretty well.

Ginkasa 08-04-2002 11:12 PM

The books was just speculation from "alien experts", not known fact. Just because the book said they were fast doesn't mean they actually are.

SPOILER

Oh yea, that home camera thing was, I think, the scariest part of the movie...all the little kids going nuts, then they run to the window, and it creeps by...and the news reporter thats like ''these images may shock and disturb you'' and then they zoomed in on the alien, and the guy watching tv was just like in shock...that was awsome...I would pay 5 bucks just to see that one scene again...

Joeiss 08-06-2002 11:07 PM

Well, I finally saw it. I don't know why everybody was so scared in the movie! Everybody was jumping at the stupidest parts.. Oh well. I thought that it was a good movie... Too much little humour, IMO. I really liked the aliens, but I wish that there would have been more scenes with them. And that "home video" was crap, IMO. It wasn't scary at all. About everybody in the theatre jumped, but I laughed because it looked like Yao Ming. :)


Overall, great movie. 4.5 outa 5.

Jason1 08-06-2002 11:10 PM

aw comeon Joeiss...that home movie thing was kinda scary...and just cool the way it was done...obviously it wasnt really an amutuer cameraman, so they had to make it look like it was just an average guy taking the shot...and it was just really well done, IMO...

DeathsHand 08-06-2002 11:42 PM

I thought the amature thing was well done too :unsure:

Not necesarily scary, but it looked like an amature video of an alien thing heh heh... I bet people who think it was stupid are just like "Heh that'd never happen" or something ;)

Joeiss 08-07-2002 01:28 PM

I meant that the home video was crap, as in not scary. :p Everybody got so scared when that alien walked by. I thought it was cool, but not scary at all. And I was looking behind the car, in the shadows on the door. I thought it was going to pop out of there... But it didn't..

DarkDemonic726 08-07-2002 04:38 PM

Signs was pretty good i give it a 8/10

The Germanator 08-13-2002 04:52 PM

Hmm...the movie was pretty good up until the end. First of all, I don't think you ever should of seen the aliens, I feel if that had been avoided, it would have been better overall. Secondly, I liked the idea of all these coincidences in the end for each of the people, but some of them seemed too coincidency (if that's a word. :unsure: ) And the water killing the aliens has way too many plot-holes...I mean, the aliens were all over the world right? And it's raining somewhere in the world at every moment, so basically the aliens are fu**ed if water or rain hurts them. The aliens then made a pretty weak choice in coming to Earth where there it is like 80% water or whatever. But, overall it was a well done and worthwhile movie.

Angrist 08-13-2002 05:07 PM

It will probably take 3 months before it's out here. We still don't have Minority Report here, no Resident Evil yet (DLed it), and Spiderman just came out one month ago. Bleh. :(

8-legged freaks comes out this thursday, is it good? :unsure: 'from the makers of Independence Day and Godzilla'.... can't be too good.

Joeiss 08-13-2002 06:16 PM

I thought that it was hillarious that somebody actually made a movie about mutated spiders. Sad excuse for a movie, if you ask me. (I'm talking about 8 Legged Freaks)

Sounds like me. I love going to "scary" movies and making fun of the "scary" things. The best is to yell after everybody yells, so people look at you funny.

:retard:

Mushlafa 08-13-2002 11:18 PM

I was just kinda commenting like a retard

Id be like... ew... what an asshole when the theatre was perfectly queit... or like... ew shes so ****ing ugly... stuff like that :unsure: there was also this other time when everyone else yelled then like 5 seconds after they stopped yelling i started...
also... half way through the movie... it was perfectly queit and im like this movie is so freakin bad... really loud..
I did lotsa stupid things... :unsure:

I was jus kinda being an ass :unsure:

Joeiss 08-13-2002 11:22 PM

But this was a great movie to be an ass because of all the quiet scenes.

Jason1 08-14-2002 06:27 PM

It didnt suck!:mad: I saw it again on friday and it was just as good as the first time. And mush...one question...any underpants?

...


:p

Crono 08-14-2002 06:35 PM

I'm going to see this movie tomorrow night! :D

Jason1 08-14-2002 09:28 PM

Crono 08-15-2002 10:16 PM

I just got back from the movie...and I loved it. It was really good...but now it starts making me think about aliens and stuff. :unsure:

Drunk Hobbit 08-15-2002 10:50 PM

Just keep a glass of water by you at all times and you have nothing to worry about.

Haha... Or a super soaker, for fashion's sake. Their ain't nothing like carrying a big old super soaker on your wedding day in fear of an alien atack.

Neo 08-16-2002 03:05 PM

omg, that movie was scary as hell. I feel it disturbed me on some deep psychological level. Excuse me while I go board up my windows... :eek:

Drunk Hobbit 08-16-2002 03:27 PM

I was actually a lot more freaked from that caving story since it was never resolved exactly what it was. The happy ending of the movie destroyed the usual paranoidiness I would be having. Though I have been drinking a lot of water recently.

BreakABone 08-17-2002 05:23 PM

I just saw the movie this morning/afternoon. Reall good movie. It just clicked on so many levels. I don't think it was all that scary it had it's um "attemtped jumping moments" but thatt was about it.

I just always wonder why folks are well so dumb in movies. The man tells him not to go in his Pantry. What does he do? Go to the pantry. He tells him they don't like water, his family doesn't listen. I just don't know what the movie. Even if it questions a whole lot more than the existance of aliens.

Did anyone else find it funny that he plugged out the TV right before they were gonna tell you how the other folks killed or injured the aliens?
