Thanks, buddy. ;-) Mood can get me there too.
Have you seen The Woman In Black? How does it hold up in comparison to that one? ;-)
I saw The Woman In Black only once in theaters, and I don't recall it being too bad. It had a good mixture of jump scares and a really eerie presence that keeps you questioning what's around the corner or what's lurking in the dark, and sometimes that anticipation is better than scares at all. If you see The Woman In Black and like it, they're currently working on a sequel to it that sounds pretty good.
Yes sir! Hammer is back!
Like a lot of you, I'm a sucker for a good horror film but have been left hugely disappointed by what's been on offer recently, apart from the odd Ti West gem. Torture porn has run its course for me and I'm looking for something with a bit more substance than plain gore. Hopefully Hammer can deliver where a lot of studios are currently failing. In saying that I didn't mind The Pact (2012) which had a good solid performance from Caity Lotz.
PS. Nicholas McCarthy's follow-up to The Pact is about to go into production with Sonny Mallhi (The Strangers, Shutter) will producing the film. Home tells the story of a young woman who investigates mysterious goings-on at a house where she learns the previous tenant unwittingly summoned the devil. Sounds good, no?

I guess John just knows how to tickle our fancies, haha. Did he work with Debra Hill on that one? They usually teamed up to write the screenplays.
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Sweeney Todd
Van Helsing (Campy but I like it's classic horror style!)
The Horror Of Dracula - Christopher Lee
The Hound Of The Baskervilles - Christopher Lee Peter Cushing
The Pact was alright, but I wish Bruckner (no stranger to horror with The Woods, Venom, Kill Theory & Vacancy 2) had a larger role.
John W. Campbell Jr. was responsible for the novella 'Who Goes There?' which the film is based off of. Bill Lancaster wrote the screenplay. Have you seen it?
@MajorDSmythe, was 'Vacancy 2' worth a watch?
For a stright to DVD horror prequel, i'd say it is.
I've liked Bruckner since I saw Blue Car (2002), unfortunately after that film, she never managed to break through to mainstream/a list films. :-w
A Nightmare On Elm Street. Scared me when I was a kid and I still love it now. The Exorcist is a close 2nd.
No, I haven't seen The Thing.
I too think Insidious is one of the best horror films of recent times. My only complaint, and it's a small one, was that when Patrick Wilson has his OBE (out of body experience) he walks rather than floats through the mist and spooky settings. Other than that it's probably one of the scariest movies of all time, which is pretty surprising for a PG13.
Another one of my favorite horror films that really delivers the chills and scares, even to this day, is 'The Descent.'
@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, right here! I had the misfortune of finding myself bored one night, so I watched the 90's remake with Anne Heche and Vince Vaughn, and I had to get the bad taste out of my mouth with Hopkins' original.
:-/
I refuse to see that filth. I still can't believe that the man who directed the masterpiece that is Good Will Hunting actually signed on for this project and did some unthinkable things to it.
Meanwhile, Jason Blum and Oren Peli (Paranormal Activity) are once again coming back as co-producers, with Film District distributing the sequel in theaters around the U.S. Curiously, Insidious Chapter 2 arrives just over a month after The Conjuring reaches theaters. Then again, the summer isn’t traditionally a time when there’s an over-abundance of creepy flicks playing around the country, so both of Wan’s films could find success as counter-programming to the many blockbusters of the season.
For anyone who's interested Screenrant has posted a spoiler heavy outline of what we might expect of Insidious 2 below...

I like Psycho II most and I have a soft spot for Psycho IV because Olivia Hussey (she's one of my favourite actresses), even if her casting contradicts Ma Bates from the original. Psycho was ok, I tend not to think of it as a horror film but instead a thriller. Psycho III I didn't really like, the remake was pointless and i've never seen the Bates Motel tvm.
That's how I felt. Incredibly eerie mood, especially with the home footage, but other than that, it didn't drive home as one of the scariest films I've ever watched.
I'm looking forward to 'Insidious Chapter Two;' quite a unique title, as well. The first is one of the scariest movies I've ever watched. I get chills just thinking about some of the scenes. Hopefully Wan brings back the same type of atmosphere and scares delivered in the first.
