Recent Movies You've Seen?

I like to be scared. A little gore isn't going to do it for me. I need tension and build-up and the big surprise.

So, the last couple Saturdays I hit the movie theater for the first showing of the day (only 4 dollah and 25 cent) of the most recent new scary movies.

First Saturday I saw The Last Exorcism. Like most films set in "documentary" style it totally fizzled for me. I loved the beginning: the preacher guy was great as an evangelist setting out to debunk the exorcisms they'd been doing for year. But not one time did I feel even slightly scared.

And I can turn down my brain and suspend disbelief if I can get my WHAT THE FUCK? moment.

Then I saw Devil, by M Night Shama-lama-ding-dong. It wasn't great, it was decent, but there was "that moment" where I'm sitting in the theater, almost completely alone, and I gasped out loud "OHHHHHH FUCK!"

I don't have high hopes for all the other scare fare that comes around this time of year, but I'll probably keep trying, I so love that scary moment.

Watched Melancholia last night. Had the same sort of feel, to me, as Black Swan. Visually, it was incredible, the acting/cast was outstanding, the interaction of the characters was unsettling.
