Not sure that constitutes a horror movie but I couldn't even make it all the way through it so I will mind my tongue.

Drama/Horror on IMDb, so I'd say it counts.

Not a giant fan of the movie myself, but then again, I've not seen it in something like seven, eight years.

Did anybody else see the new trailer for The Possession Of Hannah Grace? Talk about an Autopsy Of Jane Doe rip-off.

Finally giving Stephen King's Cell a shot, even though I've heard nothing good about it.

I'm remember I never finished the book, lol. I remember getting lost in the middle with dull philosophizing bs.

Yep, that was Lloyd, as confirmed by IMDB trivia, lol.

They've rapidly edited this intro, holy shit. I don't remember it moving that fast in the book. Practically blink-n-miss it pace.

I don't. There are movies called 'horror' on IMDb that I don't count as horror. But as far as this challenge goes, if a movie says horror, unless there's a consensus here against it, then by all means, it should count.

I never questioned Shadow of The Vampire as horror. Just cause it uses dark humor doesn't void it's gothic horror backbone.

The scene where Samuel L Jackson and John Cusack are taking out Cusack's zombie wife should be reedited with that rap during the fax/copier destruction scene in Office Space.

So apparently the end of the book blew, so King rewrote the ending for the screenplay...and that's still the ending we got? Ugh. It was okay up until then, though very 90's TV movie quality.

I'm certain Donald is playing it drunk, and is pretty awesome for it, lol. This is a VERY British movie.
