I missed watching Session 9 last Halloween; I'll make up for that this year.
And it's been awhile since I watched the uncut version of The Descent.
Watched both! Loved both!
Actually, my friends and I watched The Descent while at the cottage, 2 years ago. And earlier this year, I wanted to go blackwater rafting and caving, and my friend ADAMANTLY refused, referencing "The Descent" as a valid excuse for being a wimp! So, I went by myself. Was a blast. Kinda was HOPING for some creatures, but only saw bats and eels, and amazing, beautiful gorgeous, glowworms. That made the cave look like a starry night sky.

Opposite of horror, really.
Went to the dollar theater with my kid two weeks ago or so and I loved watching him flip out. Both he and I agreed that the last 20 minutes (where everything is visualized and tangible and seems to become your typical "possession" movie) wasn't nearly as good for us as the first half of the movie, where it's just a total creepfest and half the time nothing actually happens... it's the potential for something happening that really gets you.
Yup, the suspense, the wait.....
For Ti West flicks, I liked his "The House of the Devil" the most, to be honest. And it really recreated that 70's look and feel, even down to the opening credits.
All right, The Innkeeper is out, The House of the Devil is in. To start off with, giving this director a try. If I like it, I'll watch the other.
There's nothing like watching an Asian ghost with bloody eyes crawl/slither/jerk down a staircase headfirst, ya know....
The Ring was good. Did you (also) watch the original Japanese version?
I had trouble staying engrossed, but I do think the characters were pretty disturbing.
I can see that, it is one of those movies, I find, I have to watch alone, quiet and concentrate. As the build-up is slow. And the pulse of the movie has to be felt pretty early on, to stay hooked.
