My two cents on floppy films that I have seen recently: *spoilers implied, so don't read if you care to see these*
The Village (2004): it would've been better if there really WERE monsters... the whole heartbreaking "lets-never-get-hurt-again!" theme kind of works, for what it's worth, but was not what I was looking for. I feel it was marketed to me as a horror film, and it definitely did not quench my gorey-thirst.
Red Eye (2005): yeeesh... the only thing that kept me watching was out of boredom and because Rachel McAdams is pretty. But her character was such an annoying "hero"-type person, and I didn't even care enough about the characters to give a shit whether any of them lived or died. Predictably unbelievable, unbelievably predictable, it kinda just sucks....
The Transporter (2002): the transporter is a cheesy dream, unfiltered straight out of the egotistical male mind. I'm not even going to waste any more words on it.
Rosemary's Baby (1968): I had to start this movie 5 different times, mostly because the theme (babies) scared me too much to go on. Yesterday night I even had to sleep with the lights on. But now, after finishing the movie, I realized it's actually kind of cheap. Basically it builds up extremely well to an unsatisfactory ending. It's not too bad of a suspenseful-wondering type of horror film, but just not the kind I like.
