Yeah... I watched Hostel. Before recording, I thought it would be some interesting thriller. But it turned out to be a vulgar horror movie, and with a terrible plot.

I recently watched Hostel 1 and 2 as well. There is a plot, of course, but it's quite generic. It's mass-produced entertainment, basically. It doesn't even come close to comparing with Saw 1-5. That's a real film with a capital "F." I'm looking forward to the sixth installment. Coming soon in October 2009! :)

I watched the first Hostel. I liked the ending and a couple of scenes. But I don't like the Saw movies at all. In my opinion, only the first part is worth watching, and after that, the difference is only in the details.

And how does "Saw" differ from other horror movies? The plot is the same everywhere (like "Friday the 13th," "Scream," and other movies about maniacs)... just kill everyone or however it turns out.

Well, firstly, "Saw" isn't Horror, it's a Thriller (they are different things). And secondly, the film is quite philosophical. And the first part is just an introduction, from which nothing is clear about the overall plot.

And what’s the philosophy behind it? O_o

Hmm, I think I saw "Saw". Although, only the beginning. There was a guy who woke up wearing a mask with nails, and a man on "TV" said that he had hidden a magic key in his eye... Or am I mistaken?

Kill them all or whatever happens.

You are greatly mistaken. ;)

And what's the philosophy there? O_o

I'm not imposing my opinion, but I think the film is philosophical. There was a phrase like this: "He who does not value life is not worthy to live." The plot was built on this statement.

Hmm, I think I saw "Saw." Just the beginning, though. There was a guy who woke up in a mask with nails, and a man on the "TV" said he had hidden a magic key in his eye... Or am I mistaken?

You're right. It's just the second part. By the way, it's one of the interesting scenes. The guy was wearing what was called a "death mask." After a minute, it would close. To free himself, he had to open the lock that held the mask in place within that minute. And the key was, of course, in his eye. That is, to survive, the guy had to cut out his own eye. There is a choice: live, but remain without an eye, or die.

I will tell you about the reason why he ended up in this situation. You need to watch it. All parts are interconnected, and each reveals the events of the previous ones.

O_o... okay, not mindless killings, but well-thought-out and sophisticated ones...
I don't like those... there's too much blood... And in general, I watch horror movies with my eyes closed (I only watch about 40% of the movie)... Oh! The last horror movie I watched was "The Unborn"... it was awful... I don't like movies like that at all...

Well, firstly, "Saw" isn't Horror, it's a different genre.

I'm afraid I have to disagree, young man; "horror" and "thriller" are perfectly equivalent terms. Even if we disregard the linguistic aspect of the question.

I'd rather watch a low-budget, trashy thriller than re-watch "Quantum of Solace." The latter is absolute and concentrated nonsense, especially if you haven't seen the previous fifty films. Someone might say that it's very exciting and spectacular when two guys in tuxedos spend several minutes flying up and down on ropes in a building that's being constructed (or renovated), shooting each other with "pistols," but I don't agree with that point of view.
Where did all the budget go? That's right – into costumes. Instead of cleaning up the old ones, they could have afforded new ones. And then they boasted about the huge amount of money invested in the film.

The last horror movie I watched was "Unborn"... it was terrifying... I generally don't like such movies...

I definitely need to check it out after hearing that...

Saw is great, no matter what anyone says (and not just the first one)

The last movie I watched was "Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder," as always, it was excellent...

Well... I wrote such a negative review about "The Guardians"... someone actually wanted to go see it... And I wrote that "The Unborn" was terrible... Oh well!))

kj1313, then you should also watch "The Exorcism of Emily Rose"... I think that's the title... it's even more terrifying.

Well... I wrote such a negative review about "Guardians"... someone actually wanted to go see it...

it's just that the movie turned out to be not what they expected, and I guess they didn't understand it =))

I just watched Slumdog Millionaire and realized why it was called the best film of 2008 (out of 10 possible nominations, it won 8 Oscars). This film is a must-see!

I wasn't expecting anything anyway)). They said, "Let's go. It's a good movie. The trailer is amazing"... So we went. By the way, this is the second time I've been disappointed with a "Heroes" game... The first time, I was disappointed with the ones they called "Heroes of Ancient Greece."

"Shopaholic" watched it. It's cool. There are moments that are so funny you'll want to roll around on the floor (in my case, on the bed).
