I hated that movie so much for the first like 35 minutes, but that was mostly due to he two lead characters. However, as it went along and the characters began to develop as well as the story, I really started to get sucked in. In the end I think it is one of the best horror films of last year, and considering I hated it for the first act, that says quite a bit!Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-67898913717424732732010-03-09T17:45:41.076-05:002010-03-09T17:45:41.076-05:00I was just so underwhelmed by Drag Me to Hell that...I was just so underwhelmed by Drag Me to Hell that I had to squeeze some House of the Devil lovin' in there. I *liked* Trick 'R Treat and I'd rather see that sweep some awards than a lot of other films out there, but I fell victim to overhype and will thusly need to wait a year and see if it ages better. I too haven't seen Thirst yet, so I tossed in a few more votes to Deadgirl. Very interesting results.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-76694103426297873532010-03-08T23:32:36.600-05:002010-03-08T23:32:36.600-05:00B-Sol: Thanks for having me!
I knew that it was o...B-Sol: Thanks for having me!<br /><br />I knew that it was one that may or may not make the ballot for those reasons, so don't fret! I completely agree with you about the availability of a film, but there would've been people that would definitely have cried foul over Martyrs being on there due to the 2008 France release. Can't make everyone happy, which as you said, kind of spices things up a bit! <br /><br />Emily: I haven't seen HOTD yet, but that would be one that should have been included based off the love it got. Still, people could have written it in, but a lot of horror fans loved Trick 'r Treat quite a bit, so I still think it may have won either way.<br /><br />POT: Way to pay attention...all that heavy metal and black arts is rotting your brain!! Bwahahahaha!<br /><br />If I didn't write in Martyrs, I'm not sure what I would have picked. I loved both Grace and Trick 'r Treat...I do think Grace is a better movie, but TrT will have the rewatchability for me. If I had seen Thirst, however, chances are that it would have been my pick based off my love for the directors past work.Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-9854464975658554452010-03-08T20:09:19.279-05:002010-03-08T20:09:19.279-05:00Dang it!

...Dang it! I didn't know you could write in? ;)<br /><br />We picked Grace.

...Thanks a ton for participating this year, Matt. <br /><br />The Martyrs problem is a controversy that goes back actually to last year's awards. The movie was first theatrically released in Sept 2008 in France, so there were those who argued it should've been included on the ballot for the first awards last year. My argument was that it had not yet been made available in the U.S., which I felt was necessary to keep the voting fair, since the lion's share of the voters would be North American.<br /><br />However, it was released finally on DVD in the U.S. in April of 2009, and subsequently slipped through the cracks for the latest ballot, which is really my own fault. Unfortunate, but what would awards be without controversy??B-Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717121313061173603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-30234976404894247682010-03-08T01:22:31.611-05:002010-03-08T01:22:31.611-05:00Geof: Don't let the hype ruin it for you, but ...Geof: Don't let the hype ruin it for you, but it is a great film and one that is a little tough to digest. And Trick or Treat had a really fun inter-weaved storyline, so it seemed like a solid choice for best screamplay, as I like to call it!<br /><br />Ashlee: That is another movie that is a bit on tye tough side. Big divider of horror fans. I hated it for like the first 35 minutes or so, but the further into the movie I went, the more I enjoyed it. Very different take on a certain popular horror genre, one that has some very taboo subject matter. <br /><br />Andre: Unfortunately, it wasn't. I wrote those in and in my opinion, those picks are about as correct as you can get for those categoriesMatt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-87701704139473954802010-03-07T23:42:54.148-05:002010-03-07T23:42:54.148-05:00Wait Martyrs was nominated?!Wait Martyrs was nominated?!Andre Dumashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170879111034420803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-83816712430662356932010-03-07T22:50:41.765-05:002010-03-07T22:50:41.765-05:00I have got to check out Deadgirl!I have got to check out Deadgirl!Ashlee Blackwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530884243523757687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-22450867063692336812010-03-07T19:19:52.199-05:002010-03-07T19:19:52.199-05:00I seriously gotta stop slacking and watch Martyrs....I seriously gotta stop slacking and watch Martyrs.
