That imbecile miniseries might have been entertaining on its own shaky merits, but the ending just made nonsense of all that went before, and it pissed me off something fierce. We hates it, my precious, we hates it.
The only adaptation of the novel that comes near doing it justice. The scenes with Nell and Theodora besieged in a bedroom, with the door and the walls seeming to bow in, Nell's frantic cry "My God, what was holding my hand?!", Nell climbing the circular stair in the library, Mrs Dudley telling Nell with gloomy relish that if she cries out in the night no one will hear her, nobody from the village will come near the place until daylight: all of these are permanently etched in my mind.
Werewolf in London is pretty good, but imho Dog Soldiers is better.
I loved the Train to Busan. It was well done.
I am so glad you included "The Haunting" such a classic and so much better than the remake!
Ghost sex, Yo'!

I love the idea that “science” was going to “fix it”...as if!
Is the movie tonight??
Tucker and Dale tonight, The Haunting Saturday after next.
Yes always on a Saturday. Tonight is Tucker & Dale Vs Evil.
Yeah but it’s not ‘The Haunting’ when is that?
It's a calendar. The Haunting is on the 14th.
Even funnier is the Doctor's wife's belief that if she just shows the malevolent spirits love and understanding then they can all just get along.
That movie scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. I love it.
Yep and Roddy McDowell is spot on...
The whole cast was perfect, could not possibly be improved on. You are thinking of Russ Tamblyn, McDowell wasn't in this.
I’m thinking of the Legend of Hell House which is a similar plot...
Yes, that’s it
