Yes, it was Vernon :)
Great film, but I enjoyed it more first time round - I kind of knew what was coming last night.
Urgh, being stuck in that coffin....scary :o
We got Nigh********ch out on video a few months ago - freaked us out, especially when that body moved, his mate messing about I think it was!
Love the thrillers though - but can't cope with the really psychological mind game ones - got that next door! :P :P

I think that might be Finding Nemo :P .
Another good thriller (scary one) on Tuesday 2 december - ITV at 10.30pm.
22:30 End of Days**
In this violent fantasy-thriller, Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a more vulnerable character than usual, an ex-cop who, in the near future, runs a security agency in New York. Gabriel Byrne is the Devil himself, who has come to New York in search of a bride. Arnie has to stop him... Big-scale mayhem follows, as Arnie takes on Satan with a machine-gun. As this was directed by action specialist Peter Hyams, it does at least go at a cracking pace, but dramatically, it`s much weaker than it should be. Risible from a theological standpoint, it also has a plot that makes no sense. It does, though, include a scene in which diminutive Miriam Margolyes beats the hell out of a haggard Schwarzenegger. Now that`s girl power! (1999) 18**
Not a good review, but I think it's a great film. :D

IMO End OF Days is an excellent film, I think that the review is a little harsh.
Thanks Holly - I'm going to try and watch it.
Along the Arnie theme - I saw T3 last night and really enjoyed it (I was surprised!). I thought that it was going to get plot heavy as it was the third film, but it didn't at all.
One we all enjoyed recently was Phone Booth.
And the ending gave my Daughters heart a brief flutter..

I'm very late on this thread, but love most of the films you have been talking about, haven't heard about the phone booth one though, is it worth a watch?
Oh yes, he's trapped inside a phonebooth with a sniper playing mind games with him. Very good (and this is someone normally banned from watching scary films - saying it).
Ach, i'm terrible for picking obvious holes in the plotlines. For instance my family have sworn never to watch Reign of Fire with me ever again.
SPOILER
They kill off the one male Dragon causing the species to eventually die out ? Hello, did the Script writers ever read that a lot of Reptiles are sexually bi-morphic ? Doh !!!!!!!
Makes me wonder if they saw Jurassic Park...
