Jun 27, 2009 14:29:05 Carriers seems to have that zombie feel to it even though it doesn't seem to be a zombie movie. Seems like something a bit new. Could have potential.

Zombieland doesn't seem to be a horror flick but rather an action/comedy. Looks like it could be good.

Daybreakers looks like it will suck because almost everything with vampires does.

I heard Twilight was pretty good.

I also heard that from a lot of women. I also heard from quite a few guys with similar taste as me that it's a waste of time.

Carriers

This one seems to have a strong psychological and ethical element to it. I like that this film explores a premise where teamwork will only get you a short distance. The thought of being betrayed when you need the most help (whether or not you can get it) is scary. And the thought of having to abandon the ones you love simply to stay alive is even more so (at least to me).
Zombieland

Zombie comedy. Is this going to top Shaun of the Dead?
Daybreakers

Vampires dominating the earth is a premise I think hasn't been explored to the extent that it deserves. Vampirism being what it is, a vampiric population would likely be expanding exponentially if it were real. Looks very dystopian.

Jun 29, 2009 0:57:19 It is exceptionally hard to make any kind of accurate judgment based on a teaser. This teaser is, however, high production and showcases decent actors. I can't really get into the details of "Undead" (the directors' last film) because **guys, forgive my abuse of text** THIS MOVIE WAS ABOVE AND BEYOND THE FAILURE THAT PEOPLE SEEM TO LOVE IN FILMS THAT ARE "SO BAD THEY ARE GOOD" LIKE TROMA FILMS

--Phew, purged my system of that. I dunno. Although I recognize that **more text abuse**

IT IS NECESSARY FOR HORROR CRITICS TO LOWER THEIR STANDARDS**

(Meta-reviews)
-rottentomatoes.com
-metacritic.com
---where you can find many, many, many more critics that (might) be to your liking!

All have excellent analyses (the 'meta' sites contain dozens to several dozen reviews) that illuminate the purpose of the entertainment of horror, the cathartic value, and finally the existential excitement of horror, which I am always happy to discuss.
