Berberian is quite gripping! I would not necessary qualify it as horror, but that should do the job ;)

Sinister was terrible. Same film has been done before and been done much better. The husband and wife had to be the stupidest people on the planet.

Saving grace was having the good company of Mr Glass and seeing pxc from afar.

I was there as well, in front of pxc. Did you guys realise that they were tweeting the queue? I saw my fat bum :(

Anyway film was rubbish lots of noises and bangs to make you jump and spooky music. The wife was dreadful, is she Mark Rylance's wife?

The bit that made me jump was afterwards when I went to the loo, and someone started knocking on the door 8O Some kind lady was offering me loo paper :shifty:

6/10 for Ethan's goatee and cheekbones

btw you got Woman in Black if you did the Vox Pop. I didn't but my mate did
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

I agree! So totally not scary. I was waiting for something to scare me but this was really tame, and so predictable. I got bored and almost nodded off! May be teenagers may like it and find it scary.

Highlight was meeting tsoiboy for the first time, catching up with valda and waving to ejwrank, david and MrG frantically from afar, until david spotted me, and saved me looking like a mad person waving frantically with no-one responding! :D :D

The film started late, as everyone has to sign a waiver at the door, that we did not mind being filmed or photographed, then the film was introduced and we were told 5 people at the front were wired up to monitor how scared they were by the heartbeat etc. Then after the film, as the credits came up they were all photographed still sitting in their seats.

I'm counting on the fact that anyone who hasn't seen the first season of a TV series that started 6 years ago, but still plan to, are in a very tiny minority.
