Yeah, I used to go for that sort of thing. Back in college, we'd all have sort of a running contest to find the sickest, most disgusting and disturbing stuff we could get our hands on. (And the wonders of the internet: we four of us one year all had our computers networked... I won't even go into what I've come home to find as my desktop wallpaper :)

I've come across some pretty disturbing movies, as well. I Spit on Your Grave (don't EVER watch that movie :), Bad Taste, and that one (can't remember the name) from the 70's that was banned in the US about a group of documentary students in the rain forest, come to mind. Sort of got out of that after awhile, though... there's stuff I've seen that I still can't get out of my head ;p

Think the most disturbing book I've read, though, was American Psycho. If you've read it you know what I'm talking about ;p Again, in college, so I was not always in a good state of mind to be reading certain parts there.

Sounds like the Hills is something I'd have liked back then, but... sort of out of that type of movie now. I like my horror to be a bit more 'easy'. Slither looks really good.

Speaking of movies, V, I trust you've already read the graphic novel "V for Vendetta"? I'm really looking forward to the movie after a friend let me read the comic version. I'm still having a hard time convincing anyone that it has great potential if it's anythign like the comic.

Have you ever:
Used your teeth as wire strippers?
Given yourself stitches?
Made improvised munitions with no base supplies?
Pissed in a canteen?
Gone a month without bathing?

If so, you MIGHT just be a !HOOAH MOTHERF*CKER!

Thanks for posting that

I like to watch some horror movies, most not actually being scary (with the exception of The Ring and Blair Witch Project IMO), but I do draw the line at films that seem to be nothing more than a writer/director fulfilling his sick wet dream
Forget artistic freedoms, I do think some films take it too far and even though some may like to watch that sort of thing, from what you've described The Hills Have Eyes is not for me.

So thanks for that description - now I don't need to waste my money on it as I had thought about watching it

I know its off-topic but I can't wait either
I'm currently reading the graphic novel, and now (with the movie's release date looming) am trying to finish it on time

I hope I do get to see it on the cinema - King Kong was the last thing I went to see

Of course! And so far as far as movies based on Alan Moore go, this looks to be third times the charm, after From Hell and the abysmal Leauge of Extrodinary Gentlemen from the many early reviews I've culled though just last night, only Variety seems to have it out for the film.

Maybe I'm a little burnt out on horror at the moment, but I didn't find The Hills Have Eyes to be too bad. I did think the rape scene was a bit much, but it is by the guy who did High Tension with the scene with the guy and the head in the car, ick. Overall this movie wasn't as disturbing as some that I have seen. For that I point to The Last House on the Left and I Spit On Your Grave. There is also talk that they will be making Jack Ketchums' The Girl Next Door into a movie - most disturbing book I have ever read.

I think the scariest thing about these type of movies is that we can imagine real people doing these horrible things.

Today we were captured by hill folk, never to be seen again. It was the best day ever.

Ha ha! Too gorram funny!

But no, I have no plans to see this or any similar type movie. Reality can be to brutal and evil to waste time and $$ to wactch pretend brutality and evil.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

Honestly i didnt read all the posts. so im not sure if this is mentioned.

This movie is a remake of one of wes's earlier films. Im not interested in seeing this movie. to me its in the same level of the devils rejects. Just as we have movies with people doing heroic things, we also have those that show the worst in us, or as some people think our primitive nature. and the studios want to make money.

I went to see "The Hills Have Eyes" twice just to make sure that it was a completely, pointless movie and it is. It's one of those "See what we can do to your head movies. The things that are done in the movie are designed to seriously shock your sensibilities. My sensibilities were not shocked; I was waiting and waiting to see if there was an actual, plot and story to all of this, which in my opinion there wasn’t really. If I had been 18 years of age, yes, the movie might have shocked me, but at 44 I suspect I’m numb to the visual horrors of Hollywood.

The only two movies that have ever shocked my sensibilities were pretty subtle movies; the writers sneaked the horror up on you. One was The Deer Hunter. That Russian roulette scene that those sick Vietnamese were playing with those two captured American Soldiers? I still freak inside when I see that. And another film, which name I can’t remember, was about some Nazi death camp….god! That’s horror.

The Hills Have Eyes is a complete waste of money.
