I feel like these high-budget haunted attractions are starting to feel a bit too "sanitized" and scripted lately. Do you guys think a themed experience can actually be scary if it's too polished, or do you prefer the old-school, low-budget stuff?
This is easily the one movie I find myself revisiting more than any other.🙂
Personally, I think it works best as a comedy.
With the sequel coming out soon, I can only hope it manages to be at least half as good as the original...
P.S. I’m fairly certain I just broke a Guinness World Record by digging up the oldest thread on this board😁
I just finished watching the second installment. Given that I rated the first one a 7.5, I’d give this one a 7.
It was slightly less impactful, mostly because there was a stretch of about seven or eight minutes that felt a bit sluggish, but everything else was excellent.
I am looking forward to the third part... hopefully it arrives sooner rather than later 🙂
By the way, the villain from the first film is absolutely devastating in this one as well!
Ultimately, I find both films—the first and the second—to be quite perverse, which only adds to the experience since they are based on true events.
Highly recommended.
Ah, so there actually is a sequel... Nishan wasn't aware, but he just picked it up from the local video rental shop, so he'll be watching it sometime in the next day or two.

From my experience—if you actually care about what you're talking about—it isn't that hard to put together two or three constructive sentences in the intro.
It doesn't really matter, though; there isn't much left to say about those three that we don't already know...
Best, five out of five.

And here is what I’d call a constructively opened topic, which—miraculously—hasn't been deleted again...
I just have one quick question: does anyone know who decided to delete my poll and what the reasoning was? Who actually deserves the Ballon d'Or .. thanks
It’s nothing groundbreaking, but considering they dropped $15,000 on this (though I have my doubts about that figure), it holds its own.
You can really tell the director is squeezing every bit of value out of the budget so nothing goes to waste.🙂For instance, there’s a constant stream of flyovers involving planes and helicopters, which likely aren't just special effects, but actual aircraft...
The way her mother reacted when they called to tell her they’d finally located Natasha... it was almost surreal. Especially considering how the director implied she had been meddling in the whole situation...
I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the full story hasn't surfaced yet. It feels like there is still so much left to the imagination, things that perhaps aren't meant to be uncovered...
Here’s a look at the dream sequence and the second part... honestly, this one feels even more intense than anything Steven Spielberg ever put together. They might have leaned a bit too hard into how effortless it is to take down enemies; he's basically clearing out half of New Jersey without breaking a sweat or even getting a scratch on him.
Drew Sanchez82 said:I haven't gotten around to watching the sequel yet, but I caught the first one on TV again last night. It really reminded me just how much of a genius Bryan Mills is. 😁 He honestly has everything you'd want in a classic tough guy.
The funny man part for me was when he handed that guy in Paris a hundred bucks just to stay out of a beating, even though Mills could've easily sent him straight to the ICU in about two moves. 🤣
That’s one of the most intense scenes in the whole movie, though he didn't give him the hundred dollars to avoid a beating—it was so he wouldn't plant a wire on him...
I just finished watching this; if you haven't seen it yet, I'd highly recommend giving it a look.
My personal rating 7.5/10—it’s quite a solid film.
It is actually based on a true story, and this features a killer
Here is an interesting article in English as well.
If anyone here happens to work within the insurance industry, please reach out via DM. It’s quite important... thanks.
If you could pick any showdown to witness—and it doesn't strictly have to be a DC vs Marvel crossover—I think I'd personally love to see Superman vs Hulk...
I caught a movie the other day, and honestly... it was just a complete disaster. If you're actually in the mood for a parody, though, you might want to check this out instead http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2243537/?ref_=sr_1. At least it’s watchable, and even decent in my book—actually, I quite enjoyed it 🙂
I caught this at the theater the other day; I’d highly recommend it. For me, it was quite excellent...
Did I miss something here? How on earth did the brunette end up falling for that jerk (though, granted, he wasn't even her guy) 🙂?? There are definitely some plot holes, but it’s fine; the movie is solid enough for a 6. Just relax and enjoy the ride...
The people trashing this clearly don't get that it's meant to be pure entertainment. It seems like everyone is constantly searching for profound subtext or deep metaphors in every single film, but that's just not what this one is about 😉
