what did you think of let's scare Jessica to death?

btw i hate found footage flicks, its not for me..

I like found footage the same way I like everything in horror: If it's done right, doesn't matter to me

Made too many changes for him and he disagreed with Nicholson being cast as the main role. Jack Torrence is supposed to be a guy for whom a psychotic break seems so unexpected but who wouldn't expect it with Nicholson playing the role?

Yep, plus in the book it was 100% Supernatural and Kubrick's version leaves it up in the air ambiguously whether it was supernatural or all in Jack's head...King really hated that part

That movie is such a masterpiece that I don't give 2 shyts what King thought; it should be required watching tbh; Its the film that put Kubrick in my top directors of all time

Word...great flick but I can understand the author having issues with it completely. Nothing wrong with that at all. Especially since he has several legs to stand on

To be fair this is many/most film adaptations of novels, they could give a fukk about the author's intentions.

You know it's funny you ask that, when I posted the trailer I didn't know it was a remake but when I just Googled it the poster looks familiar. So I either seen the original or at least knew it existed back in the day.

I FINALLY SAW AS ABOVE, SO BELOW

sorry for the procrastination

but anyways....this film is a great netflix movie...see it at a dollar theater or matinee if you're REALLY bored

here's why

Main character is really annoying, there's a scene in the beginning between her and someone else that almost made me want to leave. It was terribly acted and dragged on (the scene)

It starts out sorta slow...but it'll grab your attention pretty fast..then hit you with some you wouldn't really expect.

There was a some stuff I personally wish got explained, which they could of but it seemed kinda rushed.

Overall I give it a 6/10

This isn't a movie it's a novel but I didn't know where else to put it.
Clive Barker is releasing "The Scarlet Gospels" May 19th, 2015. If you're a horror head this is news because this book has been in development for 5+ years. It's a sequel to both "The Hellbound Heart" and "The Last Illusion":

http://www.chud.com/155726/clive-ba...t=very_latest&utm_campaign=home_clicktracking

The story centers on two characters Barker has used in previous works: private investigator Harry D'Amour, a character seen in several previous stories such as the novel Everville and the short story "The Last Illusion" (later adapted into the film Lord of Illusions); and a being known only as "Pinhead", an extra-dimensional entity residing in a world bordering our own. Pinhead and Harry are depicted as adversaries. Their first meeting occurs in the past, when Harry is twelve or thirteen years old and in Catholic school, and this encounter with Pinhead is said to be a primary cause of Harry's later disturbed psyche.

In the present day, a friend of Harry's is taken hostage by Pinhead, and Harry, accompanied by four mismatched companions (including the blind medium Norma Paine, who has appeared in earlier Barker stories) and an animal, must track his friend down into the lowest levels of Hell. Roughly two thirds of the story will take place in Hell itself, and much is expected to be learned about the nature of Hell, its creator, its inhabitants, about the Order of the Gash and Pinhead's place within it.

Any of you that are fans of Barker know he hasn't done straight up horror for the better part of two decades (ignoring the fairly terrible "Mister. B. Gone") so this is huge news for the world of horror.

Fred.
