Was the first there so chatted to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
surje and casilda about the US and other things. By 8, nobody else had turned up so we decided to start, when as if on cue davefish appeared.
First was Dark Water (subtitled), a low-key but still scary in a psychological thriller way horror film. The story of a divorced mother fighting for the custody of her little daughter. When they move into their new apartment, strange things start happening, and both start behaving oddly. It gets worse when a wet spot appears on the bedroom ceiling...
There's a Hollywood remake in the works but considering what happened to Ring, this won't be any good.
The second film on offer was Versus (again subtitled but slightly more awkwardly). This one was a gory shocker and the closest thing to a live-action anime I've ever seen. The character stereotypes and their mannerisms, the styling of clothing, hair, weapons etc., the camera work and the dialogue were all very anime, just shot on film at real locations. Two escaped convicts are met by a gang of thugs who want one of them. Violence erupts, people die but don't stay dead because they are in the Forest of Resurrection where there is supposed to be a gate to the other side... Very gory and violent, very overdrawn, funny in many places, with big guns and swords, a perfect movie for a lazy evening.
raggedy_man, necro_angel, belak_krin, sogoth, duncanneko and others, check out this film if you can find it.
Many thanks to the hosts and the donor of the films!
Really need my bed now, hard day at work tomorrow and then I need to get ready for Dracula.
