That's the one, I think it was a fake news story about people fainting to build up hype

Not only does she have the usual issues being new at school, its compounded by her nascent cannibalisitc tendencies that are brought out in a hazing ritual where shes forced to eat raw rabbits liver. Could the cannibalism be a metaphor for the struggle of becoming an adult? Perhaps the paranoid fantasies of someone who copromises their prinicples (vegetarianism) to fit in. Either way the end result is great and well worth watching.

Is this the movie that was meant to have caused a stir or controversary??[/QUOTE]

It is. Its not as messed up as they hype suggests but it has wince inducing moments. The bit that had me cringing, weirdly, was the scene of the character getting a 'brazillian' off her sister.

I genuinely loved antichrist.

I was watching it with one of my friends who genuinely hated it. I'm a bit of a lars von trier junkie though so I tend to enjoy all his stuff.

Cube 2: Hypercube
so like the original and the prequel the premise is simple, people awake to find themselves in a Cube room with 6 doors, the difference no physical traps and these rooms defy the laws of time and space, as usual they all have to try and figure a way out.
This one has a rather interesting idea with it in the form of 4 dimensional world where time and space is convoluded. the acting is good (some characters do wear on you but meh). a really good soundtrack, some ok visuals as well. the truth is though i don't think you even need to see the first cube movie to watch this as here is only a brief mention of the original.
7/10

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

Worth a watch for Liev Schreiber's excellent performance as Victor Creed. Not for much else.

And why not? Some stunning shots. And the fox. Laughed like a drain when she turned up in the new Independence Day ...I thought "she's going for her 2 x 4!!" a few times

i was thinking she was going to bang jeff goldblum and bill pullman together
finished House on Haunted Hill (1999).
Similar premise as original, a couple with a toxic relationship decide to have a party in an abandoned building, and invite strangers to come and stay for the night to win 1 million dollars. what was meant to be a joke, transpires into something darker when the building locks down. it turns out it was an asylum almost 70 years before with the head doctor being a sick sadistic surgeon. now everyone has to try and get out alive.
As remakes go, it takes the original premise but luckily enough changes it to be something original so credit is given when necessary, it's not a bad film nor is it a terrible film. what stands out in this film is the gore effects, the set design and Geoffrey Rush's Vincent Price character (named Steven Price).
