Actually, that is an element of the film. However, the really interesting thing is what the directors went on to. They were behind Quarantine. A film rsmurphy didn't mind.

Hey now, Quarantine was fun.edit: and to be frank, it's hard for me to differentiate between Rec and Quarantine. don't really understand the Quarantine-hate, save for it being the stock-response to an American remake. The first-half in both was painfully boring, and the second-half in both was the exact same roller-coaster-virus ride.

That was great!I realize I'm in the minority on this one, but the excitement builds:I had a blast experiencing Insidious in spite of it's disappointing third act, and am curious to see where they will take the sequel. At any rate, I'm sure it will be better than World War Z or the Carrie remake, but I remain ready to eat my hat.Now, if only Bruce McDonald could see to divulging more information about Pontypool Changes, I'd be an excited, but nervous camper. More than anything else this year, I am more than a bit excited for the sequel to Pontypool, and my continuous staring at the teaser poster is growing weary.Excellent Movie Ad Campaign For You're Next. Trailer. It looks fantastic.There is also a new giallo movie on the horizon. Lastly, tonight I learned about Daruma-san or The Bath Game...Warning: We advise you not to play the bath game. They say that playing Daruma-san can result in very bad things happening to you.Bath Game Instructions:Step 1: Before you go to bed at night, take off your clothes and go into the bathroom.Step 2: Fill the bathtub with water and turn off the lights.Step 3: Sit in the middle of the bathtub, facing the faucets or taps.Step 4: Wash your hair, while repeating over and over the words œDaruma-san fell down. Daruma-san fell down. Step 5: As you wash your hair, in your mind, you should see an image of a Japanese woman standing in a bathtub. She slips and falls onto a rusty tap. The tap goes through her eye and kills her.Step 6: Keep repeating the words œDaruma-san fell down. Daruma-san fell down until you finish washing your hair. Your eyes must remain shut.You may hear or feel a slight movement in the bathwater behind you. Keep your eyes closed. Do not peek. You have just summoned a ghost.The ghostly figure of a woman will rise out of the water behind you. You will feel her presence as she stares at you, her head just behind your right shoulder. Her hair is black and tangled. Her clothes are tattered and rotting. She has only one eye. Her left eye is wide open and bloodshot. Her right eye is missing, leaving just a bloody, hollow eye socket.Step 7: When you sense the presence of the ghost, say out loud œWhy did you fall in the bath? Step 8: Keeping your eyes shut tightly, stand up, get out of the bath. Be careful not to trip and fall. Immediately leave the bathroom and shut the door behind you. Now it is safe to open your eyes. Leave the water in the bath overnight. Go to sleep.The next morning, when you wake up, the game will begin. The ghost of the one-eyed woman will be following you. Whenever you turn to look, she will disappear. Throughout the day, when you glance over your right shoulder, you will occasionally catch a glimpse of her. She will get closer and closer as the day goes on. Do not allow her to catch you.If you glance over your shoulder and see that she is way too close, you should shout œTomare! which means œStop! Then run away as quickly as possible. This will allow you to put some distance between yourself and the one-eyed woman.To end the game, you must catch a glimpse of the ghostly woman and shout œKitta! which means œI cut you loose! Then hold out your hand in front of you and swing it down in a cutting motion (like a karate chop).You should end the game before midnight. Otherwise the one-eyed woman will appear in your dreams and follow you.Bath Game Rules:Do not open your eyes when the ghost first appears.Do not allow the ghost to trip you when you get out of the bath.Do not re-enter the bathroom after you leave.Do not drain the bathtub until morning.Do not allow the one-eyed woman to catch up to you.A final piece of advice:Do not play this game. It is very dangerous. Summoning ghosts can result in you getting possessed by a demon or dying in a horrible way. You could also trip and fall in the bath and seriously injure or kill yourself. If you fail to end the game properly, the ghost could continue to follow you for the rest of your life. Do not play this game.

Insidious: Chapter 2 TrailerIt might suck, but I think it's going to rule just like the first one did, (it totally ruled). Hopefully James Wan has learned a bit from the faults of the original to keep interest up once he finally has you hooked. Whatever happens, I'm expecting more than a few scares.

The updated one with testimony from the family this supposedly happened to? It gave me a raging boner!

The good: I would never have guessed The Conjuring would be as good as it wound up being.The bad: I can't see Insidious 2 not looking goofy compared to The Conjuring.

RSMurphy wrote:On FB RSMurphy wrote:The Crapening. OK, that might be a little strong, but James Wan definitely rested on his laurels with this one. Long, uneven, and with a string of generic scares. Hokey dialogue. Lame plot. A big ol' meh. Also, remind me never to go to a movie on opening weekend. I wanted to firebomb the entire theater after breaking a vial of SARS for good measure.The cop was pretty fucking hot, though. Not sure why you would need a cop at a "cleansing," but I'm glad he was there.edit: still amped for Insidious: Chapter 2I do agree with the edit. As for opening weekend, three infants crying through the entire film and enough grade schoolers to field a pair of baseball teams.What gives?
