The Shining is probably the most technical horror movie ever made... I the camera work is amazing, the acting is sensational (especially from Jack Nicholson), the built is insanely cool and entertaining and the ending is just iconic. I don't know how you can like The Evil Dead (yes it's a pretty good movie) and you don't like The Shining
Technically speaking, all of Kubrick's work is a masterstroke. This is to be expected. The acting? Sure, Nicholson is good, but doesn't suit the character. I never believed his descent into madness because he looked mad from the start. He chews the scenery left right and centre when he goes "off the rails". Also, at no point during the film is Shelley Devull giving a good performance. Don't get me started on the kid.

I like Evil Dead better than The Shining.

Most of us have made posts in jest about this or that person's rating, but I never thought I'd see the day where someone is seriously ridiculed for it. Just let the guy enjoy what he enjoys. Hell, I love Nightmare on Elm Street but I'm not losing my ever loving mind over someone rating it a 2 (assuming he's even talking about the original). His sole reason could even be that he hates fedoras and it's still okay because it's his opinion and won't change the fact that the movie is a classic.

Strange to me, because when I think of horror, one of the first things I always think about is the wonderfully atmospheric Hammer horror films.
Horror has always mixed genres, and there are plenty without gore. You just watched an example of that. Maybe horror aint so bad, right?

I'm sure that horror will never become my favorite genre, but I have to admit that there are some horror movies that aren't so bad.

2001: A Space Odyssey -
gorgeous visuals, thought provoking and spellbinding. Kubrick's best.
Magnolia -
Self-indulgent ego boost. Tries too hard to be pretentious that it even fails at that.
Mr. Turner -
Beautifully shot film. Every frame is a painting, perfect companion to the story.

You gave The Exorcist a 4 out of 10. Like if The Exorcist took your taste test in school, it would only score a 40%, and F. The Exorcist?!
Welcome to the forum, but uh....yeah, you had it coming.

Yeah, TONGO, films have their own grade system that works differently to that of actual schools (and, to be fair, from the sounds of things the American school grading system is broken as hell anyway so I wouldn't go appealing to that in order to get one over on anyone). Assuming a 10/10 is an A+ and a 0/10 or 1/10 is an F, then 4/10 is like a C- - not a good grade, but hardly an outright failure.

Jeez people, way to welcome new members here (and I thought I'm a bitch)!
I don't know why people have to take it as some kind of affront to cinema as a whole if someone dares to dislike some generally highly regarded films. Seriously? Why does it matter? As long as people are actually watching films, they have the right to like or dislike them and post about it.
It's a movie forum. Not some cult where every member must think the same.
