RE: Damnation vs. RE: Retribution

I give credit where it is due and I enjoyed the first movie.
It had a decent story and closely followed the RE game style a good bit.

Say what you want about evil dead but I still find the first one slightly disturbing, is this just me ?
The second one was comical though

I knew you were a avid Evil dead fan, we had a discussion about resident evil 1 intro being all foggy like the oldskool films, evil dead was our reference
I didn't know that it disturbed you as well though, now I dont feel so along

Yeah some parts made you laugh but also made you jump and cringe at how disturbing the possessions where, especially watching at night.
I love VHS, I still have it on tape, only sad thing is that I dont have a VHS player anymore
Sure I could pick one up somewhere though, they cant be rare.
The second did slightly but I found it more comical at times.... GROOVY !

Yeah the film was pretty brutal for its time, infact it still is brutal to today's standards.
I have also mentioned this in another post but its a really cool fact, in the first movie all the demons and freaky stuff happening were all animatronic
It was also the first film to use animatronic's for all of its film instead of special effects.
They also done the film on the cheap and is, or considered a B movie due to the production being so cheap.

Yeah The Thing is a truly terrifying experience, but at the same time is also a classical watch, you will love every minute of it Mass.
I also loved the game for the ps2 as well, it got a lot of stick but I found it was a really good title and it had replay value in my eyes.
The game also freaked me out a little, kind of the same way RE done when I was younger.

I see they made a Remake of the thing, yet another classical film getting the Hollywood "fuck up" treatment.
These young directors now a days are sheer animals, they are pretentious asses that think they can remake films and do a better job.
Most films they try to remake are serious classics that you JUST DONT TOUCH.
Everyone knows that you dont try to edit perfection !

I probably wont watch this remake in fear that it will fail and thus giving me more fuel to bitch about it.
I will leave it in existence, never to be disturbed.

I never knew it was a Remake, who was the original director ?
Yeah that is many few that are not bad but majority of remakes will not live up to the classics.

Psycho, A-team, The fog, nightmare on elm street, the Italian job, taxi, one missed call, the ring, the grudge, straw dogs, black xmas, the omen etc

I could go on as well put for sake of a huge list I will settle at that.

The remake of the Italian job was awesome !?
It spat in the face of a British classic and made it all modernised and rubbish.
The original had that early British film style charm to it.
The only good thing about the new version was that it had Jason Statham in it.
The ring and the grudge remakes where even worse, predictable and not scary at all.
Watch the Ju-on version of the grudge and the Jap version of the Ring (watch when you dont want to sleep for a few days! )
Yeah taxi was the one with De Niro in it, An absolute classic of a film. "you talking to me ! "

Sorry I thought you meant if the original taxi was the one with De Niro in it.
the remake was the one with queen latifah and Jimmy Fallon starring in it.
Yeah I know, I only pointed out jason statham because he is one of many favourite actors.
I like his London "geezer" attitude and the way he is still funny even when playing a serious role.
Films like, Lock stock and two smoking barrels, Snatch, crank, the transporter are all great roles he's played.

I didn't like them because I am a big J-horror fan and had already watched the imports before the ones across here were made.
J-horror has just got that element that he cant seem to capture over here, infact most of any Japanese movies have that quality and style that you cant put your
finger on but you know its there and you know its effective.
Most are quite artist and original as well
