Y'see, I'm sure I'd have walked out of cinemas in the past if I went to stuff like that. As it is, the closest I got was 'The Mexican' and I fell asleep at Schindler's List so that's technically 'leaving' in a manner of speaking It's not something I would normally do, I promise. I was 14 at the time, I remember, and my friend and I went to go and see one of the 'Mission Impossible' films. Unfortunately it was a 15 certificate and we got ID'd at the box office, so that was our 'there's nothing else on for an hour' choice. It was so bad, and so boring, that people in the cinema just started chatting to strangers - it was a weird experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 21, 2016 Moderator Share Posted January 21, 2016 Ah yes, happened me once. Went with a mate to see one of the Child's Play films back in the day, and he couldn't get in so we ended up going to something else that was so bad I can't even remember what it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 21, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 21, 2016 Yep, same here. Can't remember what I wanted to see, but the one we ended up seeing was "8 Legged Freaks" and it was **** awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I remember watching "Boat trip" with mrs H and laughing my head off at it (we both did) .... I think I read a critic review the next day that gave it 0 out of 5 (probably a Guardian reader or something ) and it is widely accepted as being a terrible film ... James Bond playing a gay man , the Swedish tanning team .. it is an underrated classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted January 22, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2016 So I watched the Babadook last night.... What a load of shite that was Not even remotely scary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Sixth Sense was the last film I saw that scared me. Mulholland Drive and Lost Highway were pretty unsettling too, but in a different way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 22, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm gonna re-watch the Babadook tomorrow just to check I'm not completely mental in thinking it was very good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted January 22, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2016 I watched it again recently and enjoyed it even more. The sense of dread and foreboding that's created is just magnificent. Superb movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted January 22, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Talking of horror movies, my tip for one to look out for this year is The Witch: It looks beautifully creepy. Edited January 22, 2016 by Designer1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a movie that generates an overall unsettling mood anytime (The Shining / Don't Look Now etc etc) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
