Anyone have any thoughts on these?
Ju-On: The Grudge 2 (2003) 6.5/10 - Actually scarier than the first but less story.
The Eye (2002) 7.5/10 - Some genuinely creepy moments. The lift scene is one of the most memorable in Asian horror. Oh and the restaurant scene..
The Eye 2 (2004) 6/10 - Has some decent jump scares, Shu Qi is great but not as good as the original.
Shutter (2004) 7/10 - Still one of the best Thai horror movies and the ending is unexpected.
Dark Water (2002) 7.5/10 - Atmospheric and creepy, without relying too much on jump scares.. in the way Ringu was. Pity the director has not really done anything else as good since..
I thoroughly disliked Alien: Covenant. It is a movie that should never exist. Ridley Scott takes all the mystery of the original and just shits over it. Fassbender is it's only saving grace. And CG aliens suck!
