They don't all have to be '05 releases, because I'm sure a lot of you (like me)
see everything on DVD.....

So far this year-

Dead Birds (2004)
Shallow Ground (2004) &
Suspect Zero (2004) (not really a horror flick, but close enough)

Remakes-
Toolbox Murders (2003) &
House Of Wax (2005) (believe it or not)

Older-
Dead End (2003)*****
Dr. Sleep aka Close Your Eyes (2002)

Trash, but I loved em-
Monster Man (2003)
Monster Hunter aka Natural Selection (2000)?
-don't know how this is just turning up on DVD (?) &
Mansquito aka Mosquito Man!

not much of a list for snagging 5-10 horror flicks a week......
and I'm sure I'm forgetting one or two...

Best Sci-Fi flick I';ve seen this year is
"Immortel" (2004)

Yous?

only horror movies I can think of that I saw this year were Chaney's Phantom of the Opera, and The Bat, w/V.Price...
not quite '05 releases... [img]redface.gif[/img]
I'd seen both many times before, but I did watch them again this year.
oh, and this terrible b-movie called The Coven (?), where some dude gets his tallywhacker bitten off...that was fun. [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]

I wouldn't call it my favourite, but it's one of the few I've seen in theatres this year...

The Amityville Horror (remake) [img]redface.gif[/img]
I actually liked it, but more because of the fact I was giggling through alot of it... except for the fucking drooling dead guy in the bathroom! [img]eek.gif[/img] (that's pretty much why it's on the list!)

I haven't seen it but, I know I'll like Land of the Dead, ALOT! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Herbie: Fully Loaded

High Tension (aka Haute Tension and Switchblade Romance for it's Europe releases a few years ago)

gah! I know there's more!

I haven't seen any good horror flicks this year... on DVD or in the Theatre...

I've seen "mildy amusing" but not good...

Some of my favorite horror films from the last few years...

2002
May
Dog Soldiers
28 Days Later
Bubba Ho-Tep
Cabin Fever
The Ring

2003
House of 1000 Corpses
Beyond Re-Animator

2004
Dead Birds
Dawn of the Dead remake
Shaun of the Dead

I am sure there are others, but that's all I can come up with off the top of my head. I have yet to see any from 2005. Haven't seen the House of Wax remake, or Land of the Dead yet. I am really looking forward to Devil's Rejects.

And the "thing in the bag" was a total disappointment. Didn't like that movie at all. And sorry, I didn't know when it came out. [img]redface.gif[/img]

Only ones I've seen this year worth mentioning are Dead Birds and Land of the Dead.

And with the exception of those, Sin City, and War of the Worlds, 2005 has been a pretty piss-poor year for movies.
