If you,ve seen this.. tell me what horror movie this has ripped off in a big way! Anyone know?
 
First of all, what does this have anything to do with music?

Anyways, it's a remake of some Wes Craven film from the 60s, I believe. Haven't seen this one yet, but from everything I've heard, it sounds pretty bad.
 
No, the point I'm making is the movie is just like "Wrong Turn" The cars in the yard and everything. No ones seen it? Its painful to watch because I saw so many parts that were just obvious. Now, my question is.. Did Wrong Turn rip off the movie from the 70's? The director said he got his ideas from "Deliverance" so Im guessing not.
 
The original THHE is alright, nothing particularly special about it (except the creepy bald dude - he gave me nightmares :zombie: ). Haven't seen the new one but I'm sure it won't be much more than a high-budget Hollywood cheesefest like most of the other horror remakes they've come out with.
 
Fucking terrible. The music was OBNOXIOUSLY unsubtle. Something would cross in front of the screen while someone was looking out a peephole or something and the music would have the loudest bang/clang/bass thump imaginable in an attempt to make it "scarier". Now i'm a music guy, and i truly think people react to the music of a movie moreso than the scenes a lot of times, but this was just PATHETIC. It was like the composer was being entirely "cheap", generic, and predictable in his methods. Furthermore, the character development was non existant, the movie went nowhere, and ended nowhere. It was the farthest thing from scary, and a complete waste of time. The mutants weren't scary either, and the film was anything BUT subtle. Hollywood is notoriously terrible for completely lacking genuinely "creepy" atmosphere and instead go for the cheap shot "jump" scenes. At least some of those japanese film makers have it figured out.
 
Yeah, that's about how I figured it would be :erk: What the hell happened to HORROR !?!?! I mean J Horror (Japanese) has some good ones but here in the states it's a wasteland. Nothing but cheesy remakes these days *sigh*
 
I kinda liked the new movie, i give it a 6-7 out of 10.

the ending if it is like the original is unpredictable.
