Darth Fluffakins Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Watched this recently with StillBored and was very pleased on the gamble of buying it new. Alan said it reminded him of "Pan's Labyrinth" in some ways, but I still havn't seen it yet. Very cool spookey/in a big house/scary kids sorta flick. Its originally in spanish, but for those to lazy to read subtitles I believe the dvd also has english dubbing, would strongly recommend if you like spooky movies. Anyone else catch this?

MetalHeart Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Cj and I watched this last week, and wow. It was super good. I really liked the story and how it was emotional but not too much. A+! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yahve Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I saw it a few months ago when it premiered, a strong story driven suspense flick. Definitely worth seeing if you get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alive she cried Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 The above videos are dead. Saw this last night, and the trailer really doesn't do this film justice. I can't remember the last time I was genuinely scared for a character in a horror film, this one got me. I'm not sure if I was just in the right mindset for a good scare, but this film gave me chills. Excellent but simple story, great acting with genuine scares, nice slow pace to allow for building of tension and a refreshing lack of cheap scares. Highly recommended. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Ah yes, I need to rewatch this one. Great movie! Also check out The Devil's Backbone. A very similar, but still very good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Correct on both counts. Devil's Backbone reminded me of Love & Rockets (Gilberts stuff, mostly). Not because of anything specific, just the general tone. It's the closest thing I've seen in a non-comic format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganny McVagflaps Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Agreed on The Devil's Backbone. I watched the Orphanage when it came out on DVD and it freaked the shit out of me. In the middle of the day. Great flick, so damn creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
