You're very welcome munky :)

btw, beatrice dalle is brilliant... best slasher in a long time, not only she's great as The Woman, but the duo who made the film had a very specific idea about how she would look, her long black dress is inspired by pinhead and also in the more subtle creepy scenes by deborah kerr from the classic ghost movie The Innocents. It's nice to read what they think about the genre, their concepts and everything, I've read a couple of really entertaining french interviews. All that made me angrier about the fact that Dimension hired the guys to re-imagine Hellraiser based on their ideas and this movie, only to drop their script months later, well done :evil:

Was I the only one that had problems with the file? After about 10 minutes, the subs were a few seconds off. Not a real big deal, but after about 45 or so minutes they are way off because there are two scenes that skip and playback. I don't want to come on here and complain because I really appreciate getting to see this so early, but I just thought I'd let you all know that it could have some problems.

Just got done watching this gem, and I must say: This is a fuckin' horror movie!

I'm on such a "post viewing high" right now that I can't really put my thoughts together, so here just random bits:
-The cinematography is gorgeous. The interior of the house is dimly lit with nothing but orange lights, which makes you feel like you're in the hell of main character Sarah.
-The cinematography also adds to the movie by making such a creepy atmosphere.
-The Woman is fucking insane. I love how they dressed her in dark clothes and kept her in the shadows, like she was some ghostly killer demon.
-The movie is absolutely BRUTAL with it's violence and gore.
-The music was fantastic. Added to the atmosphere and some of it reminded me of Haute Tension's great score.
-You really feel for Sarah. It's terrible what she goes through.
-There are some genuine shocks to be found here. There's a few things that just come out of nowhere and bitch slap you across the face.
-The ending is fucking amazing and so damn creepy.

The hype for this movie is definitely warranted. This movie is amazing. I can't wait for this sucker to come out on DVD. Let's go April! You all definitely want to check this one out, especially if you like Haute Tension.

Hey Misfits, just checked the movie again at about 45 to 48 minutes mark, anyway... that bit with the police officers and the woman and everything, it was the trickiest part to both translate and synch. It's playing fine by me, unless you're VERY VERY picky, meaning some dialogue lines are (purposedly) fading kinda fast off screen, because I wanted to cover pretty much all they were saying, and therefore needed to show another line right after. But it's not out of synch, definitely, but sorry about that anyways.

Great review, exactly how I felt right after watching it :) I tend to use simple phrases to explain the movie to people, or when someone asks me about it... I even prefer not to mention the gore, I just say something like "in the last seconds you'll feel tired" or "you simply can't imagine what happens by the end of this movie"... and man, no one can really guess, it's so over the top and brilliant at the same time. Surprise kills, atmosphere, nihilism,whathefuck moments... all wrapped in a great nervous soundtrack and a tension build up like I rarely seen before.

No, it wasn't the quick fading. I guess it was just my computer messing up the movie file or something because there were two scenes that literally skipped and replayed themselves for some reason, which totally threw off the subs. But I was able to fix it, so it really wasn't a big deal.

Yeah, this sure is a great one. With this, Haute Tension and the great things I've heard about ILS (haven't seen that one yet), it seems as though the French are on top of the horror world right now. Again, thanks a bunch for this.

Ils is awesome... everything from the first scene to the whole fake "real story" thing is really up there with the best chillers I've seen, great script... another kind of brutality, but still pretty good.

Yeah, there's definitely something in the water they're drinking in France. Alex aja, guys from Ils (*sorry guys hehe), Xavier Gens (wait till you see Frontiere(s)), Fabrice Du Welz (who made a nice little flick called Calvaire, surreal horror piece that I love) and now Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury from Inside. Ah, and this year we have 2 or 3 movies getting a lot of attention, Eden Log and Mutants, let's see.

The downside of all that is very harsh though... hollywood will keep BUYING those guys just for the sake of having them, or else why would they have the guys from Inside writing the new hellraiser only to claim they (dimension) were not 100% happy with it and now they'll only direct, what's the logic? why come up with the idea in the first place, haven't they seen Inside?? then there's alex aja doing remake after remake, the duo from Ils remaking The Eye and then their own movie ?!

Man, I say do one or two more movies in France, England, Spain, Japan or wherever you're from... you'll still be hyped enough to get a good chance in hollywood after that (*if you do good) and will have more creative freedom. But what the hell, it they want to sell out, Will my bitching make any difference? sucks. Let's keep enjoying everybody's first movies.

Watched this last night... pretty grim stuff.

It's a great rip and the fansubs are probably the best and most professionally done I've ever seen. Didn't notice any sync issues, the subs seemed to be perfect.

Thanks for posting this, it's what makes dead-donkey such a cool site....

I can't wait to see Frontier(s). It sounds amazing.

I'm trying to find a rip of Ils. There's a few on here but there aren't many seeders. It's sounds pretty good as well.

okay im posting my review which directly contradicts Misfits extremely positive review, 1. because ill probably get crucified if i post it anywhere else and 2. because this movie was so overrhyped and overrated that it pretty much ruined it for me. I still like the movie alot and probably would have liked it even more if I had not heard anything about it, but this movie was made out to pretty much be the best horror movie of all time. BOOOOO.

Anyway.... WARNING!!! SPOILER-FILLED REVIEW!!!:

Spoiler:
- The film quality (high definition digital, I think) looked really cheap and was not a very good guise for the 2nd rate acting. Im not complaining about the acting, but it wouldnt have hurt to make the film feel more organic.

- I was expecting a story and camerawork that was so clever that I would begin to rethink the filmmaking process entirely. Instead, I thought everything was pretty simple and straight forward. There were alot of good ideas, but not great. That managed to get the story to work while it revolved around pretty much the bathroom, but that may have been their biggest mistake from the beginning.

- The gore and violence pretty much escalated into legendary status, but I think that is where one might confuse this film with greatness. I also thought the aerosol spray fire could have been alot better. Whatever happened to the good ole days of a stuntman wearing fireproof gels?

- The biggest problem I had was with how accessible handguns became by the final act, yet miss preggo keeps neglecting them when she could have easily capped that bitch and ended the movie. That pretty much sums up all the other little things that bothered me, like when preggo kills her mom after looking at her right in the face. I suppose she is supposed to be "in shock" when she does that or on some kind of delerious offensive. wtf ever.

- Lastly, while this didnt bother me as much as everything else did, I thought the zombie cop was a little over the top. Sure, he could have had "brain damage" or whatever, but give him a more plausible wound than a gaping crater from a grenade launcher (which should have exploded his head anyway.)


/end rant.

I still cant wait to see Frontier(s) though... :wink:

Hey Fear Buddy, actually I totally agree with a lot of your points, I guess the difference is I wasn't really expecting a brilliant script or an inteligent story, just a brutal claustrophobic slasher, a pregnant girl, a misterious woman trying to break in, a house, and people randomly passing by only to get killed. But it's absolutely no masterpiece of horror, I like it because it's evil, it has balls and guts, some good atmosphere, and the kills reminded me of fulci, argento more than it reminded of Scream for example. And mainly I was in love with the over the top moments and I tend not to care if the person should've done this or that while in danger, even more in a horror movie... I find people going crazy about the death you mentioned, about the sequence where the police officer decides to fix the light instead of ,well, getting the hell out of there taking the girl since he had the car parked right outside!...etc. So it depends on your expectations and perspective, this is "just" a slasher, it was like seeing Maniac for the first time back in the day (I suppose).

Yes, hype can kill a movie experience , tell me about it... I try not to get too anxious about a flick, but sometimes I make the mistake of reading those nerdy reviews and stuff... (AINT IT COOL). Blergh

yeah ive definitely learned my lesson, even if it did take me two times. the first being Hatchet. the way that movie was hyped, I expected either a new iconic killer as legendary as jason voorhees, or the scariest movie id ever seen. I was so pissed off after watching that.

but anyway, dont get me wrong, I still liked the movie and getting to see such an anticipated movie so early was probably more awesome for me than the movie itsself. so thank you very much for posting it and the homemade subs are GREATLY appreciated!!

Man, no chance I can get you wrong... we actually speaking exactly the same language, the other case I blame that fat bastard from aint it cool news amongst tons of other websites for killing the movie to me is Hatchet, so I totally get you, I'm just sad it happened twice for you hehe but yep, by the time I got the R5 rip for Hatchet I was doing back flips... how dumb was I, though the hype really killed the movie a bit, I should've be less enthusiastic and realize there are no such things as a "new icon", you can't force that... that's really messed up and stupido for people to do... Now I dig the movie a lot more, after I think 3 complete viewings... Victor Crowley is cool, the kills are fun... some of the comedy works and it's sometimes better than the stupid character "development" from most slashers (though sometimes those dumb parts makes it way more enjoyable, Final Exam! hehe).

Anyway, Hatchet and the thai action flick Ong-Bak for me, since inside was a homerun... I think it's 2x1. You know what, gotta be cynical these days.

Just watched it and I must say: this is one good movie.

I agree with a lot of what Misfits posted, I can imagine what Fear Itself posted, but like mascareiro said: to do stuff that makes sense the most is not one of the aspects horror movie characters are famous for.

Spoiler:
For example, when Sarah lays down on the bed with the revolver, I thought "Don't put it away" and she did with all the consequences.

Also, the policeman/men should have bothered to call for backup much sooner.

But then again: it's horror. In some movies, victims just wait to be killed, and this movie is different in that aspect: it looks more "realistic" and grim.

To name one more aspect I totally agree on: the policeman who turns into some sort of zombie. That was totally out of place and the movie didn't need that. I thought it spoiled the film to some extent.


I disagree with the cinmatography review of Fear Itself, I thought it was a good job. Not great or excellent, but good enough.

I also liked the musical score, it added extra atmosphere.

To sum it up: I think this is one of the better movies I watched in the past year, and I watch a lot. This movie gave me a great feeling of unrest during the entire second half, or maybe even from an earlier point in the film. I even looked away once and the last time I did that was while watching Cannibal Holocaust for the first time.

It's a grim movie, with an ending that indeed made me feel tired. I really had to take a break before watching the next movie, something I usually don't do.
