My boy and I had a scary movie night last night. The lil lady doesn’t like them, but she was out of town, so we got our fill. Watched Final Destination 3 and The Hills Have Eyes.
I didn’t find either one to be very “scary”, but they weren’t “B” rated crap either. FD-3 in DTS 6.1 had some incredible surround and LFE’s throughout the movie. It was the first time I was catching myself looking behind me at the Q’s thinking “holy crap” those things put out some sound. There was about ten minutes when the soon to die teenagers were around, near and then on a roller coaster. It was way cool hearing it in good surround. I’m going to buy this movie just to keep around for demonstrations. Plus, I want to hear it again when I finally get the system in a dedicated room.
Even if you don’t like scary movies, you gotta rent FD-3 just to hear it. The Hills Have Eyes was OK, but didn’t really do it for me. It needed less gore and more suspense.
