Wolf Creek

[Paddy]

i'm watchin it now, i'm scared, films never scare me.

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

I thought it was pretty good.

[Paddy]

it's dark as fuck like, very unsettling.

[thomas hooked]

"thats not a knife....thats a knife.."

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

it's dark as fuck like, very unsettling.

yeah probably one of the most uncomfortable things i've watched in ages.

[Paddy]

this nutter's killed a lot of people

[Paddy]

i'm watchin it with somebody who cannae watch a film in silence though, which is pretty annoying.

[eidetic]

i liked it!!!
history of violence is another good one!!!!

[Paddy]

that was pretty fuckin good like, i'd like to know how much of it was fabricated though.

History of Violence is Cronenburg isn't it?

[thomas hooked]

everyone i know who didn't like it said it was because of the main performances of the backpackers. i thought they were pretty dead on actually. pleasant but rather dull. there's some funny swipes at sydney types as well. I bet northern australian audiences were cheering throughout.

and for me the most chilling part was the bit in the cafe. it captured perfectly that horrible moment where one is suddenly expected to be the male protector.

[spoon]

i saw it in the cinema but the sound went all fucked at the end so i walked out and got a refund. i did enjoy it up to that though, very well done 'it could happen to YOU' shit.

[Paddy]

i thought the backpackers performances were pretty decent tbh, good acting, they really had the fear.

[thomas hooked]

it couldn't happen to me cos im going to stay indoors in nice urban places for ever.

scary

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

My brother is in western australia at the mo.. hope my mum doesn't watch it ;)

[Paddy]

tbh i don't think i ever want to see that film again, even though i thought it was fuckin brilliant. that was some visceral shit right there.

[adsr]

The last scary movie I watched w/ Hostel...and I didn't get all the way thru it..
It wasn't scary, just very gross....
I've heard alot about Wolf Creek..and I'm not sure I could handle it..

I did dig SAW 1 and 2 tho..

[Mui]

this film made me take the scenic (and more populated!) coast road from melbourne to brisbane, rather than the inland route...
good stuff. I can't believe that john jarrett is the same bloke that used to host "better homes and gardens" on tv here!

[Paddy]

john jarret was fuckin crazy, he played the part beautifully.

[aic_det]

ha, watched this in Australia when i was there on a big outdoor screen with bats flying ahead. added to the atmosphere!

Hostel - what is that mayonnaise that comes out of her optic nerve???

[nempsey]

i watched it the other night - good quality horror. nice slow build up of tension. good acting.

one flaw in the story that really annoyed me tho cos everything else was so real - how did the baddie get into the right car?

great apart from that tho

[Paddy]

hehe that was the only bit that annoyed me too, coincidence tends to annoy me, lazy scripting. i can let Greg McLean off with artistic licence on this one though, and he does end that scene with a particularly gruesome death too.

strange the way all out gore doesn't really bother me, but then when a film like this comes along and has a distinct lack of gore, but suggests it very well, or has just enough gore in the right places, my stomach turns. ahhh, the power of the human mind eh?

[nempsey]

yeah it reminded of blair witch but a lot better. waiting for something to happen is more scary than something happening.

[Paddy]

blair witch was a pile of shit though :)

[thembuzz]

i thought it was toss

[nempsey]

there always has to be one who spoils it for everyone else.

no cadbury's buttons for you, young man.

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

I thought blair with was alright, I randomly went to see it without knowing what it was or without hearing any of the hype.

[nempsey]

yeah i liked blair witch. hype doesn't really affect me. i thought it was quite good that they managed to get so much tension out of so little actually happening.

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

yeah i liked blair witch. hype doesn't really affect me. i thought it was quite good that they managed to get so much tension out of so little actually happening.

Yeah I thought so. Hype doesn't affect me cos I never watch trailers or read about films and dodge any marketing. You can enjoy films a lot more that way.

"there you go ....ead on a stick" classic line just after he gurrotes her spine in half the guy's based on a real serial killer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Milat

[eidetic]

yea its cronenburg, but its an OK movie

[infiniti]

I thought it was an excellent film, partially ruined by a couple of horror film cliches,
I mean, when the 2 girls manage to get into one of his cars, get the keys, manage to escape and nearly crash off a cliff edge, then they do exactly what you wouldn't do; get out, push the car off the edge of the cliff edge, and then wait around for the guy to turn up and then realise they've fucked themselves ... is there anyone who would be so stupid? I'd be driving like a maniac instead of trying to be clever.
Really want to watch it again too. Was well scared watching it alone.

[Paddy]

aye basically, like when one burd has the gun pointed at the dudes head from about 3 feet and misses. i would NOT be missing that nutters head.

[infiniti]

Oh yeah I remember that bit too now you mention it,
I'd have made sure his prostrate body was dead by stabbing him as many times was as necessary (and probably a lot more) in the head and upper body.
I found myself thinking this and then realise "oh, it's only a film",
That's the power of film, I suppose.

[Paddy]

haha yeah i found myself thinkin "i'd take that rifle and repeatedly crack him in the back of the head until his skull caved in..."

[infiniti]

Exactly!

[Whuffle]

yeah, that did strike me as bleedin' obvious at the time, but on the whole I liked it quite a lot.

Really liked Blair Witch inspite of the hype. I think the fault was with the hype and not the film.

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

You don't expect to be un against an unrelenting almost supernatural psychokiller unless YOU KNOW you're in a film.

[nempsey]

You don't expect to be un against an unrelenting almost supernatural psychokiller unless YOU KNOW you're in a film.

yeah, in which case you may as well do wot it says in the script. or you'll get the sack.

[Paddy]

You don't expect to be un against an unrelenting almost supernatural psychokiller unless YOU KNOW you're in a film.

well, if i woke up hogtied, escaped, then saw a friend tied to a post, covered in blood with a badly bust up face and some mad cunt pointing a rifle at her/him then i'd be pretty certain that if i got them down i wouldn't be letting them get back up again any time soon.

[Paddy]

aaaaaaanyway, Dead Mans Shoes is on film4 tonight, which i'm lookin forward to, ain't seen it yet.

[aic_det]

dead mans shoes is a beast. paddy constantine (or however its spelt) is a scary lad. enjoy!

[infiniti]

Fantastic! Thanks for the heads up Paddy, this film's ace so far, can't see it getting worse, only better.

[aic_det]

"what you lookin' at?"

"you ya fppppphhuckin CUNT!"

[solitary_zen]

For anyone who appreciates this sort of film, I HIGHLY recommend seeing the French film Haute Tension (High Tension, also known as Switchblade Romance).

[Paddy]

DMS was DOPE.
