 Moving into a new house, a woman learns that her increasingly paranoid reactions and psychotic breakdowns are the result of lingering ghosts left in the house by it's concealed past history and try to end the curse left by that tormented history. **NOTE: This has nothing to do with the '63 film or that remake which share the same name. There's no connection beyond the name, let's not get confused here.** What did everyone think of this one? |

What an original title. Must have taken minutes to come up with that.  |

It works in the context of the film when you see it, but it really needed a few extra words to separate it a little more.
That said, bashing a film for a title before you've even seen it is about as lame a thing as you can do as a movie fan, and I don't agree with that practice at all.

Well he's not bashing the film itself is he? He's bashing the title which I think is fair game. If a book has a really lame or silly looking cover I can say "that's one lame ass cover" but that doesn't mean I'm saying the book itself will suck nor should I without having read it or at least researching reviews of it from trusted sources.

I never said his point was invalid, I merely pointed out that I don't agree with the practice of using a title to denote the quality of the film itself, since a title is merely a way to distinguish and identify an individual entity when conversing with those unfamiliar with the topic. A title has nothing to do with the quality of the movie itself, it's just a name, that's all, which is what I was getting at. I'm not denouncing his remark at all.

Oh ok I thought it was in reaction to his comment rather than a sidenote. In that case I tend to agree with your point.
The only thing I would add is that a bland title makes me worry that a movie itself will be bland although this is of course not always the case. And often times filmmakers don't have final say on the finished title.

Right, CT. That's why I separated my points in the post, replied to his comment then offered a personal opinion. I never said it wasn't welcome, I just don't understand the practice he used, that's all.  |

Oh, going by averages Im sure youd find that movies with lame titles and cover art that looks too good, tend to hide films that are horrible. My sister has a really bad habit of choosing movies with "seemingly" cool looking scenes on the cover art, and they are always terrbile films.

I'm sure there might be some correlation, but I'm not one that puts a lot into that aspect of the movie. Remember, 99% of what I watch is off TV, so I don't know what the cover art looks like until the next morning when I Google it to make the thread here. They're horror films, so I watch them. Simple as that.
