More relating to game movies, I have always wished that there were two games that would be tapped by hollywood and hopefully directed by someone competent. Those games are System Shock 1 and 2. I can just imagine a movie, The games managed to capture so much in horror.

So I've been in the mood for really disturbing horror lately. A couple weeks ago I watched Cannibal Holocaust and Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood. I have on my shelf the deluxe special edition of Men Behind the Sun as well as Splatter: Naked Blood.
Cannibal Holocaust was actually very good... shot very well, and a cool concept years before Blair Witch/The Last Broadcast.
Flower of Flesh and Blood is a great disc... pretty much every piece of information about this movie is included on this disc... trailer, the comic book the movie was based on, interviews, a making-of documentary, text essays, and even a hidden version of the movie that cuts out most of the dialog and camera angles and looks like a 5th gen dupe of a tape (this is apparently similar to the tape Charlie Sheen saw at a party which led him to think it was real). As for the movie... it's an interesting concept and it's actually pretty classy as far as these kinds of movies go. The special effects hold up well today! I know that since then even more extreme movies (August Underground series, Niku Daruma) have come out along these lines, but this is enough for me.
Has anyone seen either of these?

Rather than make a new topic thought I post it here. Anyone seen THE MAID? It's not bad. I rented it at Blockbuster a week ago. The plot intrigued me enough to check it out During the Seventh month on the Chinese calendar, the gate of hell open and the dead rise to walk the earth. There are rules people must follow for 30 days in order to survive. Never swim, never turn back at night when you hear someone call and never talk to strangers on a deserted road. Break any of the rules and you face the haunting consequences. Rosa (Alessandra Di Rossi) a young woman from the Phillipines arrives in Singapore to work as a domestic maid. Naive and innocent she has never believed in the supernatural and ultimately breaks the rules of the seventh month one by one. Now she will pay a terrible price for her ignoranceNot a classic, but fun to watch at 2 AM in the dark alone. The sound in this film is crazy.... they're sharp and spooky as hell lol, I actually watched this the 1st time in the dark by myself. Creeped me out to a good degree. Not as creepy as Ju-On, but it gave me goosebumps, for sure. The 2nd time I showed it to my cousins. My 18 and 14 year old cousins walked away during the middle, they couldn't stomach the terror =P The two older ones stuck it through with me.
