absolute classic

I remember liking it at the time, haven't rewatched it in years though

Aja was so promising back then but unfortunately he kinda fell off, whole lotta crap in his filmography in recent years so it's tough to tell whether he's still got that early juice anymore

film shook me a lil

some scenes caught me off guard in a good way

I enjoyed Crawl, and Oxygen had good buzz around release

Everything between that though.. yeah, he dropped the ball

Classic watched this as a kid stuck with me ever since

One of my favorite eras for the genre. Despite a lot of films being remakes like this one for example—I still think that horror had a real bite and an edge at the time. It was the first and last time since the 70’s that the genre felt dirty and raw again.

Yeah I gotta check out Crawl, I hear it's a fun time.

crawl was so fire

I just remembered, but I always thought this kid looked like the f***in guy from The Room, Denny or whatever

Good one

I saw this in theaters when I was like 11 lmao

Easily one of the best 2000s horror films though

Great take

I remember my mom refused to let me watch this for years cause she said it was such a messed up movie

very underwhelmed when I finally watched it

F***ing classic. Too bad the 2nd was poo poo. Wrong Turn 1 & 2 gave me that missing fix

A Banger of a film

Pirahna 3D is great.

hollywood should give Marcus Nispel keys to the horror kingdom again.

The early and mid 2000s had some
real grimey remakes of horror flicks

Some Wes craven stuff, RZ Halloween, Texas Chainsaw duo (2003 and 2006)

movie was such a moment\

saw it as a kid and it literally put me in shambles, but also was so intriguing and the whole story surrounding it was awesome to me

also the tiny bit of world building they did with the freaks was awesome, the names just made sense and fit.. (always thought Jupiter was such a cool name for one of them)

they all had their distinct feature that set them apart

the film was very violent and graphic and raw

even the family was likeable

the kid turned into a real hero toward the end and I actually was rooting for him,

then the classic last shot that reveals they still being watched..
sheesh

one of my fav all time horror movies right here.

Should have just made this a 2000’s horror appreciation thread.

Devils Rejects, Hostel, and The Descent in the same year

Need to rewatch this don’t even remember how it goes

this film is brutal.

It really rejuvenated the horror genre in the mainstream after years of stagnation and mid.

Largely got negative reviews because anything horror was “bad” at that time

But a lot of the movies from that time are solid flicks.

Seems like new s*** just gets easier scores from reviewers. Can’t tell me the black phone is any better than most of this stuff.

The Descent forever gave me a fear of cave diving. Specifically the very tight spaces in caves that you can get stuck in if you try to crawl through them
