Original and Refreshing!!!


Finally in a time of Hollywood Re-Makes and Un-Original concepts, a movie comes out with something I've never seen and actually blows me away and reminds me of the time when movies used to be real and not video games!

word that,my brother.

i feel as if this movie wasn't original at all. it follows the exact same plot structure of the last couple of hellraiser films.

reply

Hellraiser? Ahhhhhh,don't think so.

reply

yeah. the last couple of hellraiser movies all feature a character who hallucinates a lot of demonic imagery, while being tortured by a deep voiced "devil" character (pinhead). in the end, they discover that they were in hell all along and the whole thing was just part of their punishment.
it's not a carbon copy, but it follows the same kind of formula.

i also want to point out that this isn't a bad movie at all. i've seen a lot worse! it falls safely in the didn't hate it, but didn't really do a lot for me either.

yes, because you have to have made a movie to talk about them. so, let me get this straight, if you're not a chef, you're not allowed to say you don't like how a certain food tastes? if you're not a musician, you're not allowed to say you don't like a certain band. i hate the backstreet boys, but i don't think that i have to be able to write music to say so.
if this flick is original to you, might i suggest that you watch a few more movies?
sorry if expressing an opinion makes you a mindless twit. at least i understand proper spelling and punctuation.
also, "everything appears to be taken from something else" is not an excuse. there's plenty of original things out there. this just wasn't one of them.

I am one of the Backstreet Boys! You want to talk about punctuation, well you can start with capital letters at the beginning of your sentences. Your argument is weak and contradicting, you really need to just be punched in the face. "Go *beep* yourself, you hateful lying hypocrite."

You've sure written a lot for a person who claims the movie didn't do anything for them. I liked it. Was it the "Exorcist?" no,but anything with cowboys, homeboys and demons gets my nod. It was different,and artfully shot. 90% of the horror movies I've seen in the past three years were rehashed from other rehashed horror films. And they all looked "ass",horrible hand-held cheap video crap. At least this had a quality appearance.

just thought you might like to know that there's other movies out there like this. if you enjoyed this one, then you might enjoy them as well. i agree that this movie looked nice, and i said that i thought it was alright. there were parts of it that i liked quite a bit.
i just didn't think it was original. that's all.

hey, we all have a dark past. i was once a teletubby.

reply

After reading the tirades between you two,I'm having second thoughts. "Rapturious" may be better than the "Exorcist".

reply

I agree, but it felt more like a episode of Tales From The Crypt that dragged on too long

Nothing original about it IMO
