That bit ispretty grim. I dunno I guess its just one of those films I can happily watch again and again. There are a lot of horror films I love but can only watch once or twice a year such as Last House on the Left and the original The Hills Have Eyes, you just can't watch them too much, they're too freaky. Creep I could chill out and watch on a Sunday.

YupI used to be a fan of Eli Roth until he did that. You shouldn't go to watch a horror film at the cinema and spend the entire film laughing.
There are so many horror films out there that are torture related and just so crap. That’s all it is, they just try and make you uncomfortable by seeing too much. I personally like a little bit of suspense and mystery, my imagination is far scarier I don’t need to see someone burn an eyeball out of someone’s head. Ho-hum.

I didagain, it was something different. I didn't really think it was scary, it was more funny and worrying as if I was stuck in a cabin in the middle of nowhere with some of my dumbass friends, and the events in the film actually occured in real life, they would all die or get eaten by dogs etc.
I saw too much of my friend Alan in one of the characters. :S

And then I is gonna run across the table an’ grab two candlestick holders an’ hold them in the form of a cross until you is killed to DETH. An’ you, Christopher Lee, is gonna go “Arrrgh, I is turning to dust. You cunt; just wait until the sequel”.
