Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit (1989)
A must-see film!
This film hit me hard. I watched it by coincidence, but couldn't keep myself away. It's disturbing, true, but it tackles a topic lots of people need to think about. It's a very difficult topic to discuss in a film like this, and I think it has been done very well. Everyone should see this film!
The Haunting (1999)
Very good - scary, great effects...I liked it!
I thought that The Haunting was one of the best films I've seen in a long while. I know all the other reviews around say it isn't scary and there's no characters or plot, but I personally found that the characters had substance, there is a pretty deep plot (though they could have made more of the sub-plot between Nell and Theo), and it DID scare me. I have the childrens' voices in my head still. I went to see it at a late night showing (midnight), which I guess probably helped somewhat in making it really scary. Amazing special effects too. I liked the idea of using the curtains as a way to see the childrens' ghosts. And Lili Taylor was brilliant in it. I did think that it shouldn't be a 12 though. Okay, so there's no swearing or gory violence, but all the scary things - rooms changing shape, statues and pictures coming to life - are things that will really scare younger children.
