Yea the building of tension is good. I didn't like how they pretty much copied the opening from 28 days later with the main character missing out on everything because he was in the hospital. Also the plot to head back into zombieville to save that redneck is another of those dumb horror flick plans that takes away from the story being believable.

    28 days later was a good modern horror film. Most likely because the director was an actual movie director as opposed to someone who just makes short horror flicks.

    I'm also a fan of the zombie Apocalypse theme.
    I thought The Descent and 30 Days Of Night were a good modern horror films and I liked Cloverfield.

    Have downloaded loads but havn't watched them yet such as Mirrors, Pulse etc but not getting my hopes up that they'l be any good.

    Gonna watch The Mist tonight, I hear its like The Fog but a bit lighter.:D

    Do you watch The Walking Dead?
    Gonna wait till the series is finished before downloading it, they've signed up for second series.

    Paranormal Activity is also worth a mention here, especially regarding the fact that it was a very profitable movie considering the low making costs. I think it's one of the most profitable one ever made if Im not mistaken.

    I found it more a thriller than a horror movie TBH, there simply isn't anything to keep you on the edge of your seat but the plot itself was a pretty damn good one.


    Come to think of it, that part when the gang was sleeping at the hero's place that was suddenly attacked was a bit horror-like but still, I wouldn't call that a horror movie.

    Well yea the movie was made by a legit director so it was much more dramatic and well written then most low budget horror flicks. It's like a horror movie but with alot more to it than just pop out moments even though the zombies are still freaky as hell.

    I hate to sound so trendy, but I'm a bigger fan of the whole J-Horror thing these days. Starting from Kwaidan in the 1960s and moving through Ringu, Ju-on, One Missed Call...

    The most recent horror movie that I've seen and liked was Audition.

    Loved Ringu and have Ju-on and Audtion here but havn't watched.

    I'l try and download One Missed Call.

    I watched a film called The Uninvited and didn't know it was a remake of a Korean film called A Tale of Two Sisters.

    I would of prefered to watch the original version first but The Uninvited wasn't bad.

    in all fairness its is based on the graphic novels/comic book series and it is probably THAT which has stolen the plot line
