This, 100%. ^^
Thanks for handling that with slightly more grace than I did ><

Noticed this was unanswered when browsing thread:
Its opt in, so you decide yourself if you want to provide your number for mobile verification; only the users who choose to do this get the tick. Not sure what the stars are next to some peoples names but ^^

100% made me think of Twitter and for a moment it took me a moment to click it wasn't a verified celeb acc :')

Fair enough ^^

This is so inaccurate its painful. Sites like amazon are more likely to sell your number than a site like MDL. Amazon have in fact been on hot water for selling addresses, phone numbers etc. The case ratio of big sites compared to smaller sites such as MDL shows that bigger sites (Google, who have trackers to stalk your every internet move and sell your info, Instagram, twitter, Facebook, etc) are 80% more likely to use your number for a ploy. If you don't want the risk of your data stolen than not being funny you should probably not be on the Internet at all.

Steaming sites such as Netflix and viki risk having their users credit/debit card data hacked. Non legal streaming sites can easily slip viruses into your system such as a trojan or a "copy virus" (essentially saving any info you type in ie a credit card number) and steal your info that way.

Atm machines run a much higher risk of being tampered with (2000 was stolen from 3 elderly people in my home recently with a simple recording chip placed in the card slot).

This risk is absolutely everywhere in the modern age and to accuse the MDL staff of doing something like this
1) I assume then you don't do. Anything. You have all your money stored under your mattress?
2) is highly unfair to accuse them of such when verification is something all sites do that allow for another way to access your account should you lose password, email access etc.

I highly suggest you do your research before throwing allegations around.

Info source: my mom's a cop, I did a course in Internet safety and someone close to me is a software engineer who's well informed on viruses etc.

Ayy this is awesome!

Just a question, if we do receive texts from MDL past the verification code, how do we report to MDL? (I haven't, but I always like to know what to do should it happen)

Ahh ofc! I didn't connect it seeing her images but now you've said it, I can see it. She's an awesome actress, I'm going to have to check her out further ^^

They are still part of the horror genre and sold as horror films and some idol horrors are actually pretty decent (ie I rly enjoyed beyond the red which was just a promotional piece for an idol group but was still unique enough to be enjoyed as horror even when I wasn't a fan when I first watched it)

Also, just recommended this to someone else; try ignoring those bad things you know, the cohesive same plot as every other film etc and spot the tiny things. The distinct soundtracks, the specific editing and cinematography for some scenes etc. I found I enjoy a lot more after 600+horrors finding smaller things that other films don't always do that make films a little better; even if it's still a 5/10, you still have a slightly more positive film experience ^^ (if you don't already do this!)

Japan nerd for life, I never stood a chance xD

100% agree, although I'm gonna say Hereditary sucked and it makes me nervous to watch Midsommar bc it's the same director. I found him playing it too safe with HD; he started more daring things which he didn't fully play out. Actually reminded me of some Jhorror films I watched as a kid, the car scene was the best horror aspect one (included it in the list as its easily one of the top rated of Western horror of 2019).

100% agree. Partly why I was so upset with Sadako was although you could feel the love from the original director, it just didn't have the unique charm it needed. House is the only one I have to watch on that list and I def agree with you!!

I feel though, just because a film isn't 9/10 doesn't mean its a bad film. I find a lot of 5-7/10 can be really good. I'm accompanied to the bad horror tropes and acting etc now so I can ignore them in favour of the really cool way the director had it filmed, how the soundtrack changed my emotions etc. If you don't do this, I rec trying a few films like that ^^ I found I enjoy a lot more horror films after 600+ than you would usually.

Same here to be honest; a lot of directors aren't going too far out of a safe zone and it's all becoming the same thing. One cut of the dead seems promising and some on the list do look somewhat promising but not 9/10 out of 10s unfortunately

Hshs they're tucked away everywhere, gotta catch em all!

You're more than welcome ^^

You're welcome! I hope if you see the 4 I listed that you enjoy them better than I did >< most non massive/obsessive horror fans will find these rly good movies but for me (I rly should start warning people on my articles) I've seen 600+ and they just. Didn't quite do it for me at all unfortunately ><

I haven't seen much of his action, but I do like what I've seen. But then again what I've seen is yakuza so you can't 100% tell. I'd recommend giving them a try tho! They do have a pretty high average across sites.

Shibasaki Ko? I can't say I've heard of them/recognise the name. I'll have to look into them

You're welcome!!! I'm hope you enjoyed them!

Honestly not a TG fan but it looks to be one of the most promising of the year

Hshs a late night might catch you off guard!
VP - I partly agree but I think I fully understood the ending I think it restarted with everyone on the same "viewpoint", but I think he may have left it open for interpretation.
Got - surprised me honestly, I didn't expect such a happy but such a sad piece?? Stunning little piece, the directors have peaked my interest.

You at more than welcome!!!! I hope you enjoy them all as much as I did or at least enjoy them to a degree ^^

Oooo I'll have a look for these! (Is there any chance you could perhaps link me? They didn't show up on YT with a quick search ^^)
I might definitely have to do a second part to this list with how many recommendations I've been given hshs.
You're more than welcome ^^

I might do! Most have been pretty average though so I have to sit and formulate how to sell them so people know they're just sort of okay but aspects b c and D made them really enjoyable for me so they can see them in a different light ><

Oooo what's it called! Watch it tonight after I finish the one I'm watching :D
