I've seen some good foreign horror films on Netflix. I watched one last night called "Macabre" that was disturbing, but well done.

been awhile since I post here, finally watched The Woman in White, it was just ok not really scary and I did not get the end, maybe I need to rewatch it.

The Woman in White, do you mean "The Woman in Black"?

Hatchet 2: WOW!!! I love the Hatchet franchise and Adam Greene really outdone himself from the first. The gore effects were outstanding and Crowley was a badass. Loved the backstory he gave to the character. Danielle Harris was amazing in the role of MaryBeth. Can't wait for Hatchet 3!

Really? I thought the first one sucked.

I thought the first one was amazing. It was a throwback to the 80s slasher films.

[Melissa Ann]

Yeah, I'm not a huge 80's slasher fan. I like the new age style more.

Venom (2005)

My Rating: 4 1/2 out of 10

Not bad, great concept for a slasher film but badly executed. I love Angus Bruckner though, she makes a great final girl.

[Melissa Ann]

^^ I've seen Venom, and I love Agnes as well, have you seen her in "The Woods"? Great creepy film that one is.

[Verbal Warning]

I have not seen any of those, I'm not a big slasher fan but some are ok.

yeah thats what I meant, he left with a woman in white and a kid so I am thrown off

I'll have to check out Hatchet, I love Slasher movies like Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm street.

I just bought Evil Dead 2 on Blu ray, easily one of my favorite horror movies.

[Melissa Ann]

Those are movies I've never had the chance to see, the Evil Dead. I will have to check to see if they have popped up on my Netflix yet!

[Subject87]

They're epic B movies.

First was one is the most serious, with two being a mix of horror and comedy, and then the third one is mostly comedy.

[Melissa Ann]

Yeah, I'm in Canada and our Netflix is slower at getting movies, the US Netflix has more and the Canadian is only streaming, no mail DVD or anything.

I'm not a huge fan of B horror, but I will give it a chance, especially if the first is more serious than the sequels.

Hellraiser (1987)

My Rating: 9 out of 10

A Horror classic and one of my favorite horror movies of all time. It blends erotic thriller, horror, torture porn & mystery together so well. IF you haven't seen this film than do so right now. Its one hell of a experience.

Directed & Written by Clive Barker
Starring Ashley Laurence, Andrew Robinson, Clare Higgins and Doug Bradley

PLOT: When Frank Cotton escapes the clutches of the Cenobites, explorers in pleasure and pain, he seeks the help of his brothers wife (and his ex-lover) to bring him the blood he needs to be brought back to life. She uses sex to entice men to the house where she feeds them to Frank so that she can be with him again, towards the end of the film she sleeps with him whilst he wears his brothers skin! It is the relationships that drive this film.

Still, the hero is around in the form of Kirsty Cotton, son of Larry and niece to Frank. She doesn't trust Julia, her step-mother which leads her to uncover Frank and meet the Cenobites. She gives the audience someone to root for and is well portrayed by Ashley Lawrence; her chemistry with Andrew Robinson as her father is readily apparent.

Sick, twisted and brilliant. Those are the three words I would use to describe this masterpiece of dark horror by Clive Barker

Those of a faint heart should keep away but those of us who can stand intense and horrific gore and gut-churning effects will be rewarded by a film that explores the very depths of human depravity. This isn't a movie about monsters, about a puzzle box or even about a guy with nails in his head; its about debauchery, incest and sex. The story, at its core, is a family saga and the puzzle box, named the Lament Configuration, is only a tool.

The Cenobites, when they do appear, have a strong and terrifying image and the Lead Cenobite (later named Pinhead) is the ultimate in father figures; stern and to the point. The Cenobites aren't evil, they simply do there job and this is where the fear comes from; they are completely indifferent to you or your pleas.

At the end of the day this is a well directed, excellently acted and all round intelligent horror film.
