If you are like me you expect a few things out of a horror movie. 1: Good original story line, 2: gore 3: suspense 4:characterization and 5: good cinematography. I must say this movie fulfills each of my categories. I would especially like to note the originality and the cinematography! If you like clive barker books/movies/comics/whatever, this movie should not disappoint you. This movie was not nearly as intense as hellraiser, but I would agree with the critics that it is the best adaption since hellraiser or his short story "The Hellbound Heart". The only person that I know that disagrees with me is my brother who cought silly things from the book. Such as "the main characters occupation was different", (and yes that really is one of the reasons he did'nt like the movie. The only critique I shared with my brother is the book had a much more abrupt and twisted ending. This movie you see it happening gradually. The good thing about this movie is that it happily answers the views questions of "wtf" is happening.

All in all I would say this is the best and most underrated horror film as of yet in 2k9.

This show was always a family favorite in my house growing up. My dad believing in aliens was obsessed with the show. So having been years of not watching the show I expected something big from the movie. The pay off wasn't really what I thought it would be. The movie focuses too much on Molder and Skully going back and fourth with each other. "You should get on the case...." "You got me on the case, now you need to stay on the case". There are no aliens or anything really creepy about this movie. It was good, but also forgettable.

My honest verdict, is to not get your hopes up. If you want to watch the x-files watch one of the TV seasons. I believe those are more fulfilling than this movie.

I don't know about you, but I heard this film was out of control. I heard it was "the most disturbing movie you will ever see". While I am sure this was true for when it was released, its semi-standard now. This doesn't mean that its a good family flick, it just means there is worse out there. With that said, there are still some bad things about this movie, like rape. That isn't particularly easy on the eyes. The storyline took a surprising shock. That is one thing I did not expect from the other reviews (which surprises me). I also really liked the setting of this film. They did a good job of making you feel as if you were there.

If you want to feel shocked, go watch my all time favorite horror film "Inside".
