A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Hmm. I'm reading reviews that are saying WotW is not a simple destruction movie, or a straight sci-fi thriller, but a sci-fi horror in the vein of Alien. I love horror.
This is making me want to watch it much, much more than I wanted to watch it before.
Confirmations? Contradictions?
Gris, Seanan says it's horror too. And she knows horror.
Um.
I guess.

It's horror in the sense of characters hiding from the aliens, esp. the long scene in the basement with Tim Robbins.
I don't think that's a spoiler as it's very vague, but I whitefonted just in case.
I also saw someone describing it more as horror than straight sci-fi.
I would also agree that it's much more horror sci-fi. There were some parts where I suddenly felt like I was in a zombie movie. Some parts were genuinely freaksome.
don't want to spoil the mood for people that are excited...
Poltergeist is still a pretty scary movie, so it's hopeful that SS can bring the horror again.
In lieu of real posters or anything they put up paintings of the one-sheets here. Tom Cruise looks freaking insane. I think it was a purposeful decision by the artist.

Heh. That's who I mostly heard it from, actually. And the friend of hers who saw it with her.
I hated most of Poltergeist. Last 20 minutes were great, though.
I had thought it was a disaster movie.
Disaster can be scary.

No, he really IS insane.
