    Well, I guess... But Martyrs I disliked a lot more. I think because it dressed itself up to imply it was exploring something of great philosophical importance. And it was just an excuse for extended scenes devoted to the brutalisation of young women.

    Blu Ray steelbooks Game Of Thrones you can get a good price for example. Aside, if trading bd I usually put the disc in a thicker amaray case..prefer thinner ones for storage.

    Frustrating selling media, buying is a lot easier.

    Used ? I'm not proud. Save a few bucks is a good option.

    It was annoying. Like some kid editors first experiment after watching a Scorsese film Over the top, and not in a good way.

    I agree. The mother's story was what kept my attention but I found myself having a hard time with the son's story. I just couldn't empathize with those characters.

    I saw this movie once. Through the first half of the film a was in shock by how explicit this film was. Once I got to the middle of the film, I simply went numb. I have heard stories about why this film was made but in my opinion it misses the mark. This film is absolutely horrible.

    This is by far one of my favorite horror films. I can't think of another one that was this perfect.

    1. I found both "The Evil Dead" (1981) and the remake to be fairly disturbing. I really loved both films. This was one of those rare exceptions where I found the remake to be the best one.

    2. Both of the Halloween remakes were pretty disturbing as well. I enjoyed them but they were not the best.

    Funny how you can date a film by mobile phones/cells.

    Indeed....I never heard the stories of why it was made...I can't even imagine the explanation!

    especially with BD as most are scratch free due to the coating on the disc.

    Semeless play. DVD has that 45/60 minute glitch.

    That's your player, not the disc.

    Thought this was standard DVD procedure. It's a micro second ... read that's one of the advantages with Blu Ray apart from up to 5 times better image definition than DVD.
    I've noticed it before on DVD players as well.

    It used to happen to me on one of the first DVD players I owned. I haven't seen this for years.
