ooo, and i can make this thread Nevermore-related, too!

the scene where Jacob's running a fever and he gets put in the tub with people pouring ice into the water trying to help break the fever and he's screaming is fucking disturbing ... then he screams "Stop it! You're killing me!" which is sampled in "Next in Line" ... i got chills.

Took you long enough to realize this...

Another interesting fact, the Silent Hill games, especially Silent Hill 3, are roughly based off this movie.

Interesting fact; the Silent Hill movie is based on the Silent Hill video games.

Yup. That shocked me too.

I'm actually not familiar with this movie. Is it a horror flick?

I caught a countdown of some scary horror flicks on Bravo or AMC a couple months ago while I was making dinner. There were quite a few films listed that I had never heard of. Obviously, I'm no horror buff. People interviewed on the show raved about "Susperia" and "Audition", both foriegn films I believe. Anybody have a take on either of those? I find that whole genre kind of intriguing.
