Is this the one about the

teapot that tells stories to children?


:D


The Italian film?

There's been preview shows on Sky the last week or so, but I haven't seen all of one. What's it all about?


A.....Teapot

.


is it not spanish?

it's basically about this tv presenter and her cameraman going to interview and watch firemen at work around midnight.
the firemen get a call to go to this apartment where a woman is locked in and screaming inside so the presenter and cameraman tag along but when they get there they discover things are a little more dramatic than they thought and then everyone in the building gets locked in and "quarantined" because there is a virus affecting people inside.

it's essentially a zombie film in a sort of 28-days-later-gets-locked-in-a-flat style.


Yeah, it's probably Spanish.

I couldn't remember whether it was Spanish or Italian, so went for Italian because I couldn't be bothered to look it up...

Ah, that sounds pretty cool, when does it come out?


I saw it at the cinema on sunday night

it was released in 2007 apparently, so I guess that was in Spain or something.

there's an American remake being released this year, I'm going to go see it but I am pretty sure already that it's going to be awful and not even half as good as this one was.


.....When

the water boils...and the bags are saturated...the teapot will talk....talk to the children

THE TEAPOT IS COMING SUMMER 2229

I am Like Pinocchio

"I h'aint ever told a lie"......Pinocchio said that right?....oh wait he was the one with the nose....


Yeah, you were bang on Craig.

As always mate!

My watch is always set to foley-time.


Just watched the trailer.

Looks interesting.


saw it tonight

I thought it was rather great actually. Pretty jumpy. Not completely plausible, but it felt more naturalistic than most similar films and who cares anyway.


I'm generally never scared by films

but this one had me a bit creeped out, some jumpy bits were a bit too predictable but I felt the tension throughout most of it.

what did you make of the end creature?

it was a bit rubbish

presumably CGI. Not sure why they had to use it at the end.


i thought

it was fairly great actually.
nice introduction of the characters...bit of humanising...bit of 'weak' horror at the front to make you think you're ok...then that diamond last thirty minutes kicked my ass.
loved it.
nowhere near how actually scary 'the orphanage' is though...


i liked the orphanage

and i totally didnt see the twist coming!


I want to see it

but it isn't showing at any of my local cinemas. I also want to see this teapot film
