The negative reviews of Valhalla Rising I read seemed that the reviewers were missing the point or expecting something very different. People expecting Hollywood balls out action may be disappointed but then again that's not the point.

VALHALLA RISING is the same director as the PUSHER trilogy & BLEEDER, right?
Same guy. Did anyone see Fear X? Refns adventure in the US that made him so broke that he had to make Pusher II and III to clear his debts. Not that I'm complaining I like them. Not that I think it is any good but have anyone seen the Miss Marple: Nemesis film Refn directed?

Fear X was pretty good imho, solid acting....bit Twin Peaks-like eerie, never gets fully explained, some great photography, good soundtrack (Eno?)

yes fear x goes in the "postindustrial" movies section for the atmosphere. pure isolationism and damn good eno soundtrack. an obvious hommage to lynch although with a much colder eye despite the constant shades of red.

I rented FEAR X but remember nothing about it. I do remember not really liking it; wasn't it written or based on something by Hubert Selby Jr?

The Proposition is one of my all-time favorites. I remember hearing it was the best Western since Unforgiven which I'd agree with. The awesome landscape shots in Valhalla Rising reminded me very much of the Proposition. And both only have minimal but effective dialogue, letting the images speak for themselves.

I think there are some messages about Gummo earlier in topic. Haven't had much time to watch any movies lately.

"Slaughtered Vomit Dolls" Weird and disturbing movie. Somethinking like between Gummo and Richard Kern films, but way more freakier. Includes good doses of despair, humiliation and pain (and of course vomiting). Soundtrack gets also quite noisy sometimes. Highly recommended

mmmm i've found this movie a bit overrated and disappointing (just like August Underground and Murder Set Pieces). Nice girl and nice idea (mixing vomit porn and splatter gore) but the actual movie is rather poor

Murder Set Pieces
ok, but it was good to see a lo-fi Nazi-slasher after the loads & loads of Saw-related easy-watching

Neil Marshall's CENTURION is pretty good. Lots of violence but too much cgi blood spatter and one incredibly savage head-chopping. Probably be nice ina theater for the landscapes in the film.
I caught the end of a trailer for VALHALLA RISING & it looked rather interesting. Will check it out once it hits dvd here.
