Looking to check out 1 of 2 films. Dr Sleep or the new Grudge. Mind you, I didn't find The Shining scary at all. The Grudge however for me is the film that I refuse to ever rewatch as it scared the living fuck outta me. So I ask, in order to get enough tension and scare out of me, which should I rent? Dr Sleep is really long which hesitates me. The Grudge however I'm just so hesitant to reenter that world. Dr Sleep was very good. Not scary but a few intense scenes. The new Grudge, pretty bad.

While on the other hand I heartily unrecommend the most recent one I watched - The Cabin In The Woods - what an utter crock of shite, in perfectly indirect correlation to it's pretensions. I have no doubt there are barely post-pubescent twats out there who think it's "existential". No. Just no. I liked the character of the giant hand!

As I've probably posted in the past, I'm not much of a horror fan, but I enjoy the occasional one. Of those mentioned so far, I really enjoyed Wolf Creek and The Witch. I'll add The Pyramid (silly and low budget, but strangely fascinating - I've watched it three times) and Rogue (from the director of Wolf Creek - giant crocodile, dumb tourists, you know the rest, but it's very well done). While on the other hand I heartily unrecommend the most recent one I watched - The Cabin In The Woods - what an utter crock of shite, in perfectly indirect correlation to it's pretensions. I have no doubt there are barely post-pubescent twats out there who think it's "existential". No. Just no. Agree that Wolf Creek and The Witch were outstanding.
Own Wolf Creek - it's one I can watch over and over again through the years- makes it more interesting to me that it's 'based on' true events.
The Witch was great - but the ending was very disturbing IMO - won't be watching it again - very bleak, sad, disturbing.
Agree about Cabin in the Woods - I don't get all the over the top love for it - it was a fun flick for what it was worth but IMO lost it's way towards the end - just too over the top for me.
