i thought it was decent.. but i'm not as crazy about it as some..
i've heard a lot of people mention it as one of the scarier movies
around.. mmm.. not to me really.. but i think it's a solid, well made movie
this...i find alien much scarier.
Alien is amazing. It was playing in a theater near me a couple months ago and I watched it there for the first time since I was like 16 or something. Brilliant film. Between Alien and Bladerunner I think Ridley Scott has made two of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time.

Not a horror fan at all.
Event Horizon was eerily disturbing in a bad way. I won't watch it again. I know other people who've had the same reaction.
To me , the only other movie that was disturbing that way, was Requiem for a Dream.
just finished "a history of violence"...i'm giving it 3/5 (for netflix)...but i thought it was kind of a stupid movie...i dunno, it just didn't grab me and for the rest of the movie it seemed silly...certainly not as good as "eastern promises" (another cronenberg/viggo movie)...
that said...i think viggo is a great and underrated actor and maria bello is smokin'

I agree with all of the bolded stuff (and probably about Eastern Promises, although I have yet to see it).
Last night I watched the documentary "King of Kong." It was truly spectacular. It's the story of two grown men who go back and forth setting the all time high score record in Donkey Kong. Obviously, the premise had the potential to be incredibly dorky and boring. But the characters, who are of course real people, are so bizaare and over the top and hilarious, that you can hardly believe what you're watching.
