What mainstream Hollywood horror film is original? And If I was only looking for horror films that were original I would only like about 10 horror films. Horror(like all genres) borrows and lifts constantly from other films. Granted, but you can always make a good movie out of a long used idea, which this one did not make. |

Like I said I enjoyed it, but it's not a movie I'll rush out to buy. |

Penny Dreadful 
The title says it all. This is probably the worst movie character I have ever come across with. Granted that she has a phobia, but she has been crying, throwing up, crying, screaming, crying, whimpering and crying since the beginning of the story when nothing was even happening. I don't blame the villain for wanting to kill her. Halfway through the movie, I wanted to strangle her myself. Totally idiotic, useless, helpless and clumsy, the killer didn't need to hurt this lead character since she manages to make all the wrong decisions and hurt herself--more than once. I commend you for making it through the whole movie, I think I shut it off after the first 10 mins. |

Because she wanted Renee to be the one to rescue her, she had Renee picked out the moment she met her, and what better way to show Renee's character how "evil" her parents are by having to be rescued from an oven they put her in. Given that she had that as an initial motive, then what about the ending? Why not use the powers to get out of the car and the water? |

When I first heard about it, I was excited. Love it when they make a horror adaptation of fairy tales like they did with Snow White or The Brothers Grimm. But when I saw that they're actually trying to imitate Twilight, except in this case, using the wolf instead of a sparkly vampire, I lost my appetite for it. I may watch it eventually, but I'm in no hurry to do so. |

Also, remember that scene in the Mental hospital with the dad, when he stabbed another patient with a fork? That's actually not possible because mental facilities do not allow patients to use forks since it can be used as a weapon, as seen in the movie. |

I have a tendency to turn off my logic receptors when watching horror films. I have noticed in many horror films institutions sometimes allow things they wouldn't allow in real life, kind of like how the police are often portrayed has bumbling buffoons. |

I still say possessed oven was the way to go. That could have fit right in the Kitchen Appliance Horror Subgenre

Three On A Meathook '72
A young man thinks he is responsible for the murder of young women he brings home. Inspired by Ed Gein, sort of a grindhouse variation of Psycho, but instead of an overbearing mother, it's an overbearing father. Very gory, and boasts some impressive effects for its time(especially the decapitation scene)...written and directed by William Girdler( Day Of The Animals, Grizzly, The Manitou) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eof5OvRDv3o |

CASE 39 Ok. (SPOLIER ALERT). You believe that your kid is demon possessed. You have seen proof of it. And so you want to kill the kid, figuring that...well...biatch needs to die. So, instead of opting for...I dunno...a shotgun bullet to the head of the kid, you opt for the next best thing. Drug the kid while she sleeps, grab hold of her, and then walk her down the stairs and toss her....into the oven. Yup. You are gonna cook your kid. You even went to the trouble to dig a grave in the basement of your house. You have gone through all this trouble when all you really needed was.....a freaking shotgun! Don't worry. I know I spoiled this moment of the film for you, but the demon kid lives. I mean, it happens early in the movie so you know the kid has to live. Then again, had the parents been successful, then maybe the soul of the demon could have taken over a streetwalker, or maybe even the oven itself. Yeah. A possessed oven! I like it. That might sound silly, but when you watch this movie, you will think a possessed oven idea is awesome. Basically, this movie rips off The Ring, accept the girl isn't dead. Renee Zelwegger plays the Naomi Watts role, only Renee doesn't have a kid of a life....until demon chick comes along. Anyways, if you saw The Ring, then you can pretty much sum up how this movie will go, and who will or won't die. Yeah. It's that predictable. I still say possessed oven was the way to go. Well don't forget The Ring isn't original since it's a remake of a far superior Japanese film. And the idea of having an evil child didn't start with Ringu(The Ring) but goes back to films like the original The Omen, and farther back to films like The Bad Seed. For being a mainstream Hollywood horror flick I enjoyed Case 39...my only complaint about the whole film was Vancouver BC looks nothing like Portland, OR(which I'm assuming the films was supposed to take place since there were OR plates and sky scrapers) I consider The Omen to being the "main" film that got the ball rolling on little kids being possessed. Hell, I love the "original" Omen. I only mentiond The Ring because I love the American version of Ringu and I figured that Case 39 was doing all it could to borrow from that film, while trying not to borrow from it (if you catch my meaning). And another thing. Why do all demon possessed little girls have to resemble the Ring chick? Do all demon possessed girl have long, black hair? Can they not be blondes? Lol. |

I think I saw a torrent for this, but didn't download it. Have to finish the Afterhorror movies first before I can. |

It happens, when something popular comes out you do get a lot of copy cats and clones, Same for when Scream came out you got all of the hip slashers, and before that with Halloween/Friday The 13th you got the slasher boom. And before that with JAWS you got all the JAWS clones, and The Exorcist all the Exorcist copies.... |
