What horror movie do you stand by even tho others hate it?

[FreddysFingers]

I completely agree with ya on this one Freddy. Up to Lady in the Water, I thought M Night put out some good flicks. I didn't read anything about The Village before watching it and enjoyed the twist. I figured out the ending but still enjoyed the film and his approach.

You have to give it to M. Night for producing unique, original pieces. He doesn't regurgitate films from the past or put them in 3D (yet). So with creativity comes the risk of failing...but at least he makes risks instead of keeping to the gore, slash, tits, CGI, and 3D. He is a great story teller....sometimes the stories don't make great movies. So, I have high hopes his Chronicles will highlight his abilities while allowing others to produce his products.

He WAS a great story teller and he really kept the audience on edge without showing much of anything. Why he strayed off I'll never know. However, with The Village... if the twist wasn't there, the film would have been absolutely haunting. Like you said, he focuses on tension and scares rather than gore, tits, CGI and 3D ("yet"). I just hope that he goes back to creating very moody horror flicks.

Oh fun! I liked The Village as well, although I don't think it was *great*. I didn't figure it out (but then I never figure anything out, unless it's realllly obvious - I get too caught up in storylines to think about where they're going, hee hee).

But back to the question. Hmm. Is "Drag Me to Hell" universally hated? I know a lot of people that didn't like it, but I had fun. Now that I think about it, a film has to be REALLY boring for me to hate it. I'm pretty easy to entertain. harepopcorn:

From my end of the world, a lot of people thought it was a fun campy movie. It was as if the Raimi Bros went back to their comical over-the-top horror signature we've come to love. It's not universally hated by a long shot. An example of a film that was universally hated was Troll 2 but even that has a huge cult following. I'd probably say that either Shark Attack 3 or Silent Night, Deadly Night Part II are universally hated but I'm sure somewhere out there somebody is jizzing their pants over them.
