Great googly-moogly, how I love Mausoleum! Such an endless delight. In my humble opinion you can never go wrong with a possession film all chock full of corn teeth.
Come with me, if you will, on a journey called Landmine Goes Click:
I read the synopsis on IMDb when I look up the year and director. "Hmm, sounds interesting, I think!" I think. "A dude steps on a live landmine, is forced to continue standing there lest...ka-boom. I shall watch the trailer!"
"Hmm, okay. This looks pretty cool and I...wait, is this going to get rapey? Like, his girlfiend gets raped in front of him and he can't do anything lest...ka-boom? I shall find a review!"
From a review: "...Ilya plays a sadistic, sexually humiliating game with Alicia, forcing her to complete increasingly degrading tasks, until the inevitable, extended, graphic rape scene."
For fuck's sake. I'm just so tired of rape and sexual violence being used as a device in horror films, particularly when it's used solely to provide the male lead with the impetus for his righteous anger and revenge. I bid you good day, Landmine Goes Click. I SAID GOOD DAY.

Yay, MEMENTO MORI! Easily the best of the WHISPERING CORRIDORS series.
But it comes off more like a raw, realistic indie drama about two Korean schoolgirls falling in love rather than a horror movie. When all the ghost-y stuff starts happening it feels like it was grafted on from another movie.
Hear hear! I really dig WHISPERING CORRIDORS (although I haven't seen the fifth film) but MEMENTO is absolutely the standout. (Although VOICE is pretty terrific, too.)
Woo, Krampus is the first of my list to appear! Damn, I love that movie. Once December rolls around I will be making everyone watch it. It is second to Gremlins in my 'Christmas Movies People Don't Consider Christmas Movies' list.
Let Us Prey represent! :D
