Im done, i just saw this film and im done with american horror. Give me Edgar Wright cos you guys suck....................really. Its just the way it is. Prove me wrong.
sharei hear you buddy, americans suck at pretty much everything. especially horror
only shakespeare shud be allowed to make movies and only hugh grant be allowed to act..that wud fix ur problem buddy...
Don't judge me based on your ignorance
Man, that us some funny gear, I pissed myself for a good five minutes. Nice
shareThe Americans make some pretty good movies...Granter, a lot are silly, but that's often the kind of film you want. Also, Edgar Wright does comedy, not horror. Maybe understand what genre you're trying to insult next time. I really hate the British people that think their films are somehow better because they attempt to do things on a more intellectual level sometimes.
For the guy who said Americans can't do horror....The Shining, Psycho, Hatchet, Freddy/Jason/Michael/Chucky films, Hostel, Saw, The Dead Series, The Exorcist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre....Do I need to go on. Because I could. For quite a while.
What's all this shouting? We'll have no trouble here
If Edgar Wright is all you have to fight with, I suggest you leave and come back better armed.
Although I do agree this movie sucked.
To the OP -- good, because Amurrka doesn't like smug, uptight asses like you anyway. Piss off.
shareFair nuff.
shareCabin Fever isn’t a work of genius or anything, but it sure beats the hell out of Shaun of the Dead! What the hell makes that movie so popular anyway? It’s just a generic zomedy movie that’s not funny.
shareI wrote that a looong time ago and since Ive taken it back, there are some american horror gems, Im just a bit sick of formula, or at least I was then. Its the characters that make Shaun, those guys are real people, geeks that are dealing with the situation badly, the same way we do at work or whatever every day. It didnt just bring a new formula, it put us in the film. Maybe its a commonwealth thing, but if you are a fan of english comedy, you will get it. Take a look at Little Britain or Spaced-THE best tv show for geeks ever made, and then go back and have a look at Shaun.
I didnt mean to offend anyone, I was just sick of the American horror formula at the time. Then Saw came along. Wait those guys were Australian. Well at least the sequels are a bit dumb.
Be good to each other.
Nah, Shaun of the Dead was good. Not sure where you're from, but it's easier to get if you're British. Hot Fuzz was better in my opinion, though.

You don't need to watch Spaced to "get" Shaun of the Dead, or find it funny. You either do, or you don't. I've loved it ever since the first time I saw it. Only later did I see Spaced and of course thought it was amazing as well. Anyway, one is not a prerequisite for the other.
shareSpeaking for the people, good on you George.
shareBoth Shaun and Hot Fuzz are excellent... I dunno which one I like more, though.
Maybe Shaun just cuz I saw it first, but HF has lots of hidden gems in it too.
And I was vehemently opposed to Shaun when it first entered theaters -- I considered myself a horror 'purist' back then, and couldn't stand the thought of my cherished genre colliding with comedy; then I watched a lot more horror movies. Comedy has very often been a part of them, and I realize this now.

Welcome to the world of good movies is good movies. Good to have you on board.
shareWhat frame of mind do you have to be in to think that Shaun of the Dead is a horror movie. What? Since it has zombies and gore it's horror? It's a god-damned comedy and Edgar Wright has never directed a horror film in his life. There are many countries great at doing horror. The US, The UK, France, Japan, Italy, etc. Instead of associating one movie to an entire country you should appreciate good horror in general. When a good horror movie comes out I say, "Wow, that was good." Same for bad ones. I don't look at the country of origin.
shareI wrote that 3 years ago, and have since withdrawn my original comment you whiny little bitch.
shareI hadn't read that you withdrew your comment until after I posted mine. I was THIS close to saying "Hey that's ok, he changed his mind, it's all good." But then you have to act like a *beep* *beep* about it. You know, I'm glad you took it back, but to preach about being good to each other and throwing insults around makes you a bit of a hypocrite. Anyway, I must say I do think Edgar Wright is a very good director, but his films just aren't horror. Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are both hysterical. Sorry for my hot-tempered decision and I respect your opinion, but don't be a prick.
shareum, countries don't do movies

I don't sww why Cabin Fever gets so much hate. It's awesome. It's intended to be tongue and cheek and poke a little fun at the horror genre itself. It's still one of the most original horror movies ever. And i'm not easily scared at all and this didn't necesarrily scare me but it definitely left me with an uneasy feeling afterwards.
Is that something you might be interested in?
American horror does suck lately. I do however love this movie. I find it extremely creepy. I realize not everybody feels this way but everybody has that one movie that just affects them differently than everybody else. This kind of scenario is something that would scare the *beep* out of me if it were happening in real life. I think thats why I like it so much.
shareFunniest thread ever! Anyway I like horror (and movies in general) from a variety of Countries. So I don't see the point in trying to say one import is better than another. (Read that your attitude has changed)
Anyway horror has been in a decline in America lately. Now supernatural movies are popular. I like the "Paranormal Activity" movies but don't find them scary. I thought "The Conjuring" was ridiculous. "The Walking Dead" is extremely
popular. (Never got into it) I guess I find a pandemic or someone breaking in and trying to kill you more horrifying than a ghost. (But that's just me) Horror is most certainly subjective.
