i don't get why people have such strong feelings about the blair witch project. i thought it was ok the first time, but it hasn't stood up to much repeat viewing for me. primer looks cool though.

I love The Thing (Carpenter) is really good and with Lovecraftian elements. The PC game is also very good.

Primer's the best movie I've seen in years. It was made for $7,000.

I've watche BWP quite a few times and still enjoy it, but repeat viewings may be required for Primer. Be patient with that one; it goes quick.

I'm about to start writing the oddest, most fucking up zombie movie you've seen in a long time. It's an existentialist sci-fi/horror, tentatively titled "Electric Dead", which will no doubt eternally remain only a script. Don't hold your breath.

I dont know its just its a bad movie. First time around it was good till about halfway through were the charactures got on your nurves and the whole feel seemed abit forced. Also the hype the movie got was also very undiserved...were was the hype for Brazil! :x

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original Tobe Hooper version) always reminds me somehow of 'The Picture in the House'.
