I was never interested in Silent House to start with. It looked pretty dull. Daybreakers on the other hand--dude, it's Ethan Hawke as a vampire. The worldbuilding is terrific, and some of the effects, but I don't really like any of the characters. That's a problem.

I can see that being a big problem.
I thought the same thing with silent house, but my friends said it was awesome! So i wasted alot of money to be disappointed Never saw daybreakers though.

Tell you what...I will trade you 10 Gremlins for a soggy corpse and a bottle of Whiskey (or the other way around maybe....). A good deal that.
Oooooh! An then you can lure someone in here and offer them something to drink, and when they get hammered you can newbie-Q them and sneak the rest of the Gremlins in their pockets or something. Teehee! |

Fav horror movie I've seen lately was The Orphanage. Even with the movie having subtitles/being in Spanish, it was very good.
The list of ones I couldn't even get into is way longer.

Boston: He starts out as one, then finds a "cure."
Laurie: I'll take 5 gremlins in exchange for a dogeared copy of Dracula and a six-pack of Jell-O pudding snacks, please.

Boston: That's in the trailer, it's not really a spoiler. But I won't say anything else if you don't want me to.
Laurie: Chocolate, or one of those weird swirly ones.

*squints*
Excuse me, Laurie? I thought I asked for gremlins. Why do these have such long, fluffy tails? The pudding's excellent though. In that won't-expire-till-the-apocalypse, no-refridgeration-needed kind of way.

^I know, right? That and Spaghetti-Os. There was a time between ages 11 and about 14 where I would eat nothing else. *shudder* I don't know how I survived.
