I haven't seen this movie, but another movie that revels in frustrating camera work is Philip Adrian Booth's Death Tunnel (2005). I think Booth was aspiring to MTV-like visuals. Or maybe Tony Scott's quick cuts in The Hunger (1983). On both counts, he fails. Instead, you have to sit through (if you can) a movie that just can't keep still or let itself flow coherently. You can watch a preview of the film here. Strangely, the poster has dubbed it "One of the best horror films made". Perhaps he was being sarcastic...

Also – wouldn’t 9000 frames per second be exceptionally smooth? Nine frames per second…now that would be jumpy.

PHANTOMS wins any election in which it is included. You know this.

What if you had to choose between those two and PHANTOMS?

Woah, I wouldn’t go that far. I can see why people like SPLINTER, but it’s too flawed for me to give it a pass.

It’s not THE DESCENT.
