I have probably seen Alien (1979) a hundred times. I actually saw Aliens years before Alien, but after I saw Alien it became my favorite in the series, even though Aliens is still awesome. Yes, I would recommend both films. Near Dark (1987) is an excellent film by Kathryn Bigelow (known for her direction of The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty). I believe this was her directorial debut. She definitely did an excellent job. The story was very interesting and like films such as, Interview with the Vampire there is a great deal of focus on the vampires (a specific group of them). The film makes you both resent and feel sympathy for them, in my opinion. The acting is equally as great. An all-around great film. In fact, now that I think of it, I would actually rate it 10/10. Highly recommend it. As for Castle Freak, it is a B-movie from Full Moon (they did the Puppetmaster series), so keep that in mind. With that being said, there is an interesting story and some pretty good acting (especially Jeffrey Combs). So, yes I would recommend that. Of those two films, I will say that you NEED to see Near Dark. You can see Castle Freak, but there is not as urgent a need as Near Dark. As for American Psycho 2, I personally, liked it. It is not anywhere as good as the first one (which is a pretty brilliant film), but still pretty good (or at least entertaining), in my opinion. William Shatner is especially interesting in this film.

Excellent road movie - watched it as part of my Friday Night Arthole Film Festival.

Jaws: The Revenge

[metternich1815]

I watched the following film(s) for the first time:

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978): 9/10

Don't Look Now (1972): 9/10

Rec (2007): 10/10

Deep Red (1975): 9/10

If you have not seen any of these films, you should definitely watch them because they were all excellent and quite important.

I still prefer the original IOTBS over the remake, particularly the ending, but I'll agree with you on the others.

Me too, but I thought the remake was really well-done. I would give the original a ten, easy. It is one of my favorite sci-fis from the 1950s.

I started watching the first "reanimator" film last night.
This is one of the supposedly classic horror films that I have yet to see.
I only watched the intro, and up to the end of the opening credits sequence, will be seeing the rest today sometime.

I have to say, my initial impression is pretty good.
Also, hey, I remember that guy from the frighteners and Star Trek DS9. Looks pretty young here.
Some nice shocking gore in the opening scenes, keeps the interest too.
The opening credit sequence is fucking excellent.
I would consider purchasing this on BluRay already just to have that.

Anyways, yeah. Watching that today.

The Abominable Dr. Phibes

Loved it. The story is great and Vincent Price gives an excellent performance as the vengeful doctor.

DeepStar Six - cheesy 80s at its best!

Finally saw this. I wish the DVD was in better shape; but it was enjoyable!
