    The Grey

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1601913/

    Didn't really see any previous topics for this in the history so i'd be interested in hearing peoples opinions on the film. I seen this in theatres originally and was surprised at how much I truly enjoyed it. To me it was just extremely well crafted, I found myself truly caring for the characters and really clinging to the edge of my seat for a few scenes. The movie can really tug on an emotional chord in the heart as well. IMO, it really was one of Neesons better roles lately and probably in his top 5 of all time, again IMO. The music really sets the tone for the film as it's very dark and depressing (the theme for the film). It was really an 8/10 for me. What did you guys think?

    I really dug it. It was more emotional than expected, but still a well put together film overall. Unfortunately I think the way it was marketed made people think it would be different than what it was, which is why it got slammed by some fans. Either way, I liked it

    I think it's on Instant play for Netflix at the moment. I kept passing it up because I haven't heard much about it. I'll have to check it out now.

    Someone decided to tell me the ending... it sounded kind of lame and I'm hoping the prick fell asleep or something. I'll be watching this on NetFlix if it's still streaming in November.

    There are some horror elements in it, if that makes a difference

    I do want to see it, but I only get 1 movie a night during the week. Perhaps I can get it to count. I may be able to watch it with the roomie, since it isn't 'horror' and I have convinced my self that the Avengers film (when I finally watch it) will count since kids get dressed up as super heroes to trick 'r treat.

    I will completely back this up as being horror. Very tense movie. If I were in that predicament I would be shitting my pants. If movies like Frozen or Buried are considered horror, I don't know why this can't be.

    I enjoyed this movie. I really connected with the characters in this film and it had a lot of tense moments.

    This can most definitely be attributed to the horror genre as well. It does carry much of the atmosphere and the sense of desperation that a horror film would. It's certainly more of a horror flick than Frozen is, I would say. Glad to see the positive feedback amongst. I also believe Macready said it above but i'd rank this in my top 5 of 2012 easily. Probably top 3.

    I really loved it. The only thing that bothered me at times were the CG effects. It's a shame too, because they had some good practical wolves, but the CG ones really took away from it.

    One of the best parts:

    Spoiler...
    The first time Liam sees a wolf and it's eating that girl while she's still alive. That was so well done.

    I really liked the movie (and its ending too)

    Yeah it can be considered as horror. That's a survival movie after all.

    I really appreciate Liam Neeson's character. I feel connected to him.

    The landscapes are really breathtaking.

    And whoever hasn't seen it can look it up on YouTube as it is on there.
