28 Days Later.

The second half of the film was just so slow and unsatisfying that it ruined it for me. I was surprised so many were willing to overlook how poorly paced this was.

Friday the 13th.

And I disagree with 28 Days Later being poorly paced. I've always thought it maintained a pretty good pace throughout. Most complaints I've seen have been about the 3rd act and the ending, and although I can see why people would feel disappointed, I never had a problem with the film at all. One of my favorite horror films of recent years.

Yeah, this round is between Scream and Carrie it seems, but I'll throw in a vote for Saw II, I found it unwatchable.

Is Land of the Dead considered overrated? If it is, my vote goes for that. I remember everyone on the boards seemed to think it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, completely overlooking the horrid overuse of CGI and the mediocre story.

I agree that Saw II is unwatchable but it amazes me that it would even be considered "overrated". My god, are there people who think it's that good?

I swear I've read some people suggesting it was good on this board. Could be wrong. Anyone who thinks it's watchable from start to finish causes it to be overrated, imo :D

11-12-2006, 01:54 AM
No, I'm sure there are people who love it. That's the only reason I caved in and watched it; because some people over here were raving about it. I still think it's amazing.

Um...everyone on the boards (at least this one) didn't think it was the greatest thing ever. The mere mention of Big Daddy could bring anger forwards from many quarters. I really don't think it's overrated. I'd say that as many people didn't like it/hated it as people liked it/loved it. :fire: BIG DADDY:fire:

Carrie is a standard film and a standard DePalma film.

There isn't enough split-screening for my liking.

Carrie 2 worked, which is a hell of a lot more than I expected from it.

I think LAND fell flat for a lot of people, even a lot of Romero diehards didn't seem to like it. Some of that is due to all the expectations people put on the movie, and of course a lot of it is due to Big Daddy, some of the other characters, etc...
