I just couldn't get my head around it. It was flatly lit, had no atmosphere or suspense and was stupid and OTT in parts. The first one came out at the peak of the slasher reign and ticked plenty of boxes for how a decent slasher movie from this era need be presented. It also has more of a charm of the time. I give both a solid 7/10. The remake just had a better executed twist, I thought. I don't recall the twist denouement, but a twist reveal does not make a film greater than the sum of its parts. I may be a bit jaded too, being from an earlier generation.

Well I did have more fun with the 09 film. Maybe the CG gore was an issue too but I still enjoyed it overall. I think it’s one of the better slasher remakes.

I'm scared to see Cannibal Holocaust (1980), not sure why, I love gore, but heard it was beyond disgusting, so much so that I might not have a good time. That's one of the reasons I haven't seen it. I love Horror movies and have seen a lot of them over the years and it is very rare when I get scared or grossed out in them now but cannibal stuff is the one thing that really grosses me out. It doesn't bother me if it is a monster type of creature eating humans but humans eating humans. Ewww!!!

Steer clear of the reamakes of The Fog and Fright Night. The remakes for Last House and Hills are fine.
I agree with all the choices Toasted Cheese put in bold jamesbamesy and those are all good movies and are worth checking out if you haven't seen them especially 'Re-Animator', '30 Days of Night' and 'Fright Night' which are some of my all time favs. 'Re-Animator' has two sequels called 'Bride of Re-Animator' and 'Beyond Re-Animator' with Jeffrey Combs as Dr. Herbert West and all three were enjoyable but I would avoid seeing the sequel to '30 Days of Night' 'cause it was terrible and Melissa George turned down returning 'cause of how bad the script was. Have you seen the two 'Demons' movies?

The sequels to 'Paranormal Activity', 'Saw', 'The Human Centipede' and 'The Purge.' We are going to watch the other 'Purge' movies one day but don't really have any interest in seeing the others.

I won't see it either. It appears to have been made just for shock value and also using real life animals for effect is just cruel and unacceptable.
If you want a cool cannibal movie, watch Cannibal Apocalypse aka Invasion Of The Flesh Eaters with John Saxon.

That is downright cruel and sadistic and I definitely won't be seeing it. I hate when movies do things like that and they should get charged for hurting innocent animals. I am not a fan of Horror films that are just purely made for shock value and I like blood and guts in Horror movies and can handle a lot more than most people I know but when that is all there is to a movie it is not really worth seeing for me.

I will never see this movie for that reason. Triva on IMDB:

I will never see this movie for that reason. Triva on IMDB: I'm gonna play devil's advocate here. I have no major issue with the animals being killed provided the tribe intended to eat them. Humans are a part of nature and animals eat other animals. Needless cruelty revolts me, however.

The animal deaths were extremely unsettling, but it seemed to me (the one time I saw it) that they weren't occurring just for the film and were sort of just capturing what the native people would have done anyway. It was unpleasant but because of that I never had any moral issues with it. I never researched it though. That was just my perception.

Not seen Ginger Snaps (it won a comedy screenwriting award--is it horror or what?).
Basically if it has been made after 2000 chances are I haven't seen it.
I did see the Asian Ring film (scary tv scene) and Dog Soldiers, but that was because someone sent me them on tape. Likely I wouldnt have sought them out otherwise (well, maybe the Ring given the buzz i had heard-they were right-the tv scene was squirm-inducing).

I may watch some of those movies in summer. Rosemary's Baby seems like an interesting film.
