Has anyone seen the following 2 horror movies:

The Audition (1999) or the Orphanage?

 

I'm going to rent one of them tonight and watch it with the lady after we carve pumpkins. Both were on a ton of top horror lists and I haven't seen either.

 

Anyone recommend one over the other or anything like that?

Holy s***, I've been watching this cheesy Brazilian horror movie on IFC called Strange Hostel of Naked Pleasures. It's so bad that it's good. haha!

 

It combines 70s boobs, weird cut scenes, cliche filmmaking and bloody bodies.

I finally saw Where the Wild Things Are yesterday, and I'm totally conflicted. Not a kid's film, and my 10-year old really disliked it. I thought it was visually striking (on par with the best Terry Gilliam at times), and it was imaginative and emotional. It just totally missed (or chose to ignore) what I think are the main points of Sendak's book. Rather than focusing on the innocence and imagination that makes childhood the amazing time it is (even when you're in the doghouse with your parents), the film explored the full range of human character flaws that can make childhood simultaneously so painful at times.

 

The film was earnest, honest, and heartfelt — but it emphasized aspects of being a kid that I think are the antithesis of what shines through in Maurice Sendak's book and makes it a timeless book that becomes a favorite of each new generation.

The Audition is a pretty f***ed up Japanese horror/torture porn film, it's a damn good watch if you're into that sort of thing.

So like Hostel or different?

 

Given that you mentioned porn, I'm really glad I ended up going with the Orphanage since I found that. Not sure if the fiance would have been too found if I showed her some torture porn, haha.
