So after watching 'Training Day' the other day, we both talked about our ideas of hell in film form. Basically, the ingredients a film needs to make it terrible for us personally.
Ollie's idea of film hell -
A 2000s cheap action film that's 2 hours long with a stupid/overused/non existent plot which relies on guns and violence to keep the viewer entertained. It also features black comedy in 'Killer Joe' style and stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. There are so many action films from the last decade that are so similar and all absolute shit and when action is done well (Batman trilogy, Tell No One, Django Unchained to name a few) I love it, but films of this type, you know what I mean, starring Denzel Washington and that crowd, just no no no thanks.
Rosie's idea of film hell -
A 1920/30's black and white film with lots of overacting and boring plot. Even worse if its a silent film. I'm a great fan of cinematography and how a film looks, I love the stylishness of films such as 'Shutter Island' and 'Babel' and I don't believe/have ever seen an old film which fulfills my need of something spectacular to look at. Old films just are very awkward for me to watch, with over the top acting and boring plot/filming.

I'll let you have that but you have to take back the bit about boring filming
