Don't Look in the Basement - barely watchable, overrated

Zombi 2 (AKA Zombie, Zombie Flesh Eaters)

A zombie fights a shark. That alone is awesome!

[Fearonsarms]

Zombi 2 (AKA Zombie, Zombie Flesh Eaters)

A zombie fights a shark. That alone is awesome!

One of my fave ever movies that-Fulci rules!

Just saw "The House That Would Not Die" (1970) this was in a similar vein to "House Of Dark Shadows" but where that concerns vampires this one concerns a haunted house/possession. It was very lame with a poor story and a bit of soapy characterization that backfires. Neither scary nor fun-avoid them both.

Okay, on Friday, I was at work, as a Security Guard, and I walked into my local Zellers, and found Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers (1995) on Dvd, because I have been searching for it for over two years. Never seen it before, either. Awful movie in my opinion, but I love those movies regardless.

Faces in the Crowd (2011)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/FITC.jpg

Liked the main tool of this thriller....Prosopagnosia aka Face-Blindness, the problem that the main character of the story, Anna (played by Milla Jovovich) starts to living with after surviving a serial killer's attack. As its got a good production value they have able to use lots of 'faces (actors)' to show what sort of problem Anna is having & how she's dealing with and they did a fine job there. But the sad thing is they didn't use it much to make this common premise of the thriller more interesting. The most frustrating thing is the killer is too easy to identify, as soon as he/she first appears on the screen anyone can guess him/her. Moreover, killer's character or style of killing isn't interesting at all, there is nothing new. But liked the way they gave a little Giallo flavor in the film, as the the killer commonly uses a razor blade & even in one quick shot we see him/her wearing black gloves.

Overall, not bad...could have been lot better.

The Tempter aka The Antichrist (1974)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/Tempter74.jpg

"The Exorcist" in 70's Italian way! They have shown a hell lot of demonic possession activity in its almost 2 hour running time. Though some of the effects are quite dated but it was very fun to watch & I loved it. There were some nice works on set design also, especially liked the red corridor full with statues hanging on the wall. Overall, a very decent effort. Fans of this sub-genre of exorcism need to check this out.

A big thanks to our Ferox13, for sharing it & giving me the opportunity to see this gem, it was a 'hard-to-find' film for me. :)

Green Lantern (2011)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/GreenLantern2011.jpg

Though he did well as Sinestro but when I first saw Mark Strong in a film (probably in Sherlock Holmes), the first comic book character that I thought he can fit nicely was....Lex Luthor.

Never thought the first GL film adaptation would turn out as an average superhero film.

[Fearonsarms]

A Blade In The Dark (1983) Directed by Lamberto Bava (Macabre, Demons) son of Mario. This was an ok typical Italian horror of its time. If like me you've seen a fair amount of giallos you will find this fairly predictable. Not awful but not essential either.

Trespass (2011)

http://postimage.org/image/1pbi4n44/

Though it's not a remake, but the premise & the set up has some similarities with the recent Spanish film Secuestrados aka Kidnapped (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1629377/), which is a far better home invasion thriller than this one big mess. You won't like to give a damn about the characters or care about what happens to them at the end; even Cage & Kidman couldn't able to contribute anything other than their face value.
Skip this one, watch the Spanish one that I already mentioned...where you'll find a shocking ending at least.

The Thing (2011)
I actually liked it more than I thought I would.
While Carpenters 80's effort still remains my favourite (despite the effects showing their age), this one had like the first one, genuine suspense.
The characters, hit and miss. Yes, I could pick at a few issues but overall I can't complain - I feel as though enough respect was paid to Carpenters work, to go hand in hand with it.
The effects are pretty insane, it was great to see more of the creature in different forms.
It actually makes a pretty decent companion to the original, and I'll be grabbing the BluRay when it's out.

It's a conflicting and complex movie that really makes you think. It's heavily about religion and faith and paints a religious but judgemental and controlling man as the villain and a good man who also happens to be an atheist as the hero but without condemning either of their beliefs. It establishes both of them as humans who make choices, both good and bad and makes you feel for both of them. Some people might not like it as the story of Gavin (the main character) on the ledge is downplayed until the dramatic conclusion at the end, choosing to focus more on the more emotional romance that led him there. It's really well acted and full of heart and emotion and i recommend watching it.

"30 Days Of Night: Dark Days" (2010)
-Kiele Sanchez

Plot: IMDB

It has been a year since the isolated Alaskan town of Barrow's population was decimated by vampires during its annual month long sunset. Riddled with grief over the death of her husband Eben, bound by nightmares and void of all emotions beyond hate and sorrow, Stella Oleson has spent the past months traveling the world, trying to convince others that vampires exist. Met with skepticism and laughter, she is ready to throw in the towel when a group of lost souls offers an incredible opportunity: the chance to exact revenge upon Lilith, the vampire queen responsible for the assault on her sleepy Alaskan town. With nothing remaining to live for, and nothing left to fear, Stella joins their mission and ventures into the uncharted underbelly of Los Angeles where she pushes herself to the most extreme limits to stop the evil from striking again.

Phantom's Review: For a straight to DVD sequel, this film was surprisingly good. Co-written by Steve Niles (creator of the original comic book), this film has a gritty, almost documentary style to it. Kiele Sanchez ("The Glades") takes over from Melissa George as Stella and she does a fine job. The villain, the vampire queen Lilith, has an old fashioned look about her and I enjoyed that. Plenty of gore and very little CGI FX. I enjoyed this film quite a lot, far more than I thought I would.

Beyond The Door (1974)I don't really know what to say about this strange strange film its odd even for a 70s Italian horror.

"After.Life" (2009)
-Christina Ricci, Liam Neeson

After a horrific car accident, Anna (Ricci) wakes up to find the local funeral director Eliot Deacon (Neeson) preparing her body for her funeral. Confused, terrified and feeling still very much alive, Anna doesn't believe she's dead, despite the funeral director's reassurances that she is merely in transition to the afterlife. Eliot convinces her he has the ability to communicate with the dead and is the only one who can help her. Trapped inside the funeral home, with nobody to turn to except Eliot, Anna is forced to face her deepest fears and accept her own death. But Anna's grief-stricken boyfriend Paul (Long) still can't shake the nagging suspicion that Eliot isn't what he appears to be. As the funeral nears, Paul gets closer to unlocking the disturbing truth, but it could be too late; Anna may have already begun to cross over the other side.

Phantom's Review: a true WTF kind of movie. Strange, bizarre and very weird The actors all do great jobs and the story is interesting. The film has an almost Poe like quality in it's plot line. And I'll be honest with you...I'm not quite sure what happens at the end, but the film held my interest.

"The Creeping Flesh" (1973)
-Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing

Plot: IMDB
A Victorian-age scientist returns to London with his paleontological bag-of-bones discovery from Papua New Guinea. Unfortunately, when exposed to water, flesh returns to the bones unleashing a malevolent being on the scientist's family and friends.

Phantom's Review: Strange, but interesting little movie. Lee gets top billing, but Cushing is the real main star and sadly these two icons share very little screen time together. The plot is a bit convoluted but it holds your interest and the final scenes with the "monster" are very creepy. Not one of the greats but very entertaining.

Can someone recommend me a movie that's really exiting? I'm talkin don't-go-in-there scenes, like for example the scene in the first Wrong Turn were the freaks are walking around while they're hiding in the same room. I just sat there and forgot to breath when I first saw it. Or like Mission Impossible 1, well if you've seen it, you know which scene I'm talkin about. :p
IT HAS TO BE a pretty new one... 80s and up to now, are excepted. I don't wanna see you hand me a 60s movie or something, lol.

Watched a couple movies

Atrocious- Found footage spanish film from last year. Not very good, nothing really happens and when things do start to happen the camera is super shaky and hard to see what is happening. Thumbs Down.

Paranormal Activity 3- My personal favorite of the series so far. I didn't care for number 2 at all and the first one was pretty good. This one had a much better pace and more interesting scares plus the ending put an nice spin on things. Hoping number four will follow in this ones footsteps. Thumbs Up.

Attack The Block- third time seeing this film and I still enjoy it. Great alien flick which is nice as the Alien genre is very flooded lately hoping they make a sequel. Thumbs Up.

Liked it; as I always enjoyed movies with a limited cast & interesting characters set on a remote or isolated location (Island/room/House/Boat etc.) and a little twist at the end. This movie has a nice cast who delivered their usual level of good performance & there are only 4/5 characters in the story with a good little twisted ending. Though some may find nothing new & few flaws near the end but I enjoyed it.

"The Relic" (1997)
- Tom Sizemore, Penelope Ann Miller

Plot: IMDB

A researcher at Chicago's Natural History Museum returns from South America with some crates containing his findings. When the crates arrive at the museum without the owner there appears to be very little inside. However, police discover gruesome murders on the cargo ship that brought the crates to the US and then another murder in the museum itself. Investigating the murders is Lt. Vincent D'Agosta who enlists the help of Dr. Margo Green at the museum - she has taken an interest in the contents of her colleague's crates. Unknown to both there is a large creature roaming the museum which is gearing itself up for a benefit reception which the city's mayor is to attend.

Phantom's Review: First let me say that I thought the book this movie was based on was better, but that's the way it is in most adaptations. Now having said that, let me say... I love this movie. A good old fashioned monster movie, a fun story and a very cool monster (Stan Winston does it again) Tom Sizemore is believable as the superstitious cop and Penelope Ann Miler is fine as a no nonsense scientist. A very enjoyable movie.

Last watched for me is Hellraiser. The local £1 shop was selling Hellraiser 1, 2 and 3 for (you guessed it) £1 each.

Upon getting home I found that my wife, who is pretty respectable in the terms of being a horror fan, had never seen Hellraiser (yeah, I don't know how that can happen either). So naturally it went straight on.

Coisa Ruim aka Bad Blood (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0489461/) (2006)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/coisa_ruim.jpg

A family decides to leave behind the stress of city life and move into a huge house in the countryside that they recently inherited. And the country is a vastly different place than the city, a place where superstition runs widespread, the local priest still performs exorcisms, and there may just be a thread of truth surrounded in the strange, disturbing tales told about their new home.

The film takes its time to build mood and atmosphere. Rather than slapping you around with shock after shock or spooky encounters, the film builds its characters carefully while slowly raising the tension. It is a film where more is hinted at than demonstrated, a serious look at the possibilities of the supernatural. The storytelling is more concerned with the consequences of the supernatural tales & beliefs that the family is dealing with in a new place than it is with exposing the supernatural itself. But when the supernatural forces involved finally becomes evidently real that investment in character pays off beautifully.

The camera work is beautiful and the entire cast & characters believable through and through.

Overall, this is a subtle, slow burning tale of a haunting, set in rural Portugal with a tragic finale. Highly recommended.

What's different in the "director's edit" version? Looking forward to picking up their edition of House On The Edge Of The Park (amusing it's uncut).

[cheebacheeba]

Recently picked up the BluRay collection of NOES films.
Featuring 1-5, Freddy's Dead, New Nightmare and a couple of episodes of the old "Freddys Nightmares" show, was pretty good value at $70AUD.

I've thus far watched 1-4, may be watching 5 this evening.

1: Remains the "scary" entry to the series in my personal opinion. I mean these days it doesn't come close to terrifying me but I quite like the representation of Freddy being a largely unknown creature, and he was just more imposing when he was simply a threatening killer, a dream stalker.
It's a fairly simple story but yeah still one of my favourites.

2: Always thought this one was weird. Never really liked it.
Still think it's probably the most "unique" of the series, and I can't say I altogether enjoyed it but it was interesting seeing the character in a different perspective. It's unfortunate that much of what was to follow stuck to a pretty simplistic formula, probably due in no small part to the feedback about this one. As I said..didn't really "like" it as such but it was a nice dark story, and it was interesting to sit through. The bird, the rat and the cat...very strange...

3: I think this is my favourite, at least it WAS for a time.
Very fun to revisit. Freddy is in good form in this one - still nice and sinister and while there's more comedy factor in his personality this time around he hasn't yet become the standup comedian of #4 and beyond.
I love that this was a semi-sequel to the first, it was great seeing Nancy come and (unfortunately) go, and while she went out with a particularly underhanded sly move on the part of the villain, she went out like a champ after helping along the "new generation", full circle and all that.
The scenes with her father and the doctor were a great addition.
It is just a fun Freddy film...

4: Hm...it's not bad...though kind've into crappy territory, and I'm not sure why I feel that way. In ways it had a better storyline than the third, it just didn't feel as watchable and maybe of lesser quality.
Though, on the plus side - Some cool more intricate and visually unusual dream sequences, and a heroine with some unusual talents and tendencies, a timeloop mindfuck that I thought was great and this is the first film to really delve into the history of Fred Krueger via the means of...a ghost...
It's not THAT bad at all really, perhaps that it was less Freddy and more "other" character focussed?
Just feels like it didn't quite pack the punch of the film prior.

[zwoti]

Completely agree with everything you said though as much as I adore Part 3 Dream Warriors-the first remains my fave. The second one would have worked better as a standalone film but without freddy maybe as Amityville 3 instead of what was Amityville 3 if you know what I mean. Unfortunately the series went HUGELY downill after part 4-Parts 5 and 6 remain not just my worst films of the series but worst films ever made-if you looked up cash-in on youtube you'd see trailers for them both. Luckily Wes Craven's New Nightmare was a HUGE improvement and a very different direction for the series.

The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) [2011]

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/HC2A.jpg

This is a highly self indulgent aka controversy+attention grabbing effort from Tom Six that mainly focused on shock value. Even now it seems kinda funny that there are 2 min. & 37 sec. footage got cut in this release when they allowed quite a sufficient amount of gore, shit & disturbing elements in this version. Except of that reported (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Human_Centipede_2_%28Full_Sequence%29#Classifi cation_refusal_in_United_Kingdom) brutal rape & masturbating scene I don't see the points why they removed all those other 'seemingly tolerable' scenes. Perhaps to boost the US or international theatrical & DVD release I guess.
Anyway, first of all the thing that disappointed me most was its premise or in what ground or character around this sequel story started off. This time they introduced another seemingly interesting character on the lead...a mentally handicapped fat little guy who works as a security guard in an underground garage somewhere and also a huge FAN of Tom Six's original HC film. Now, the way Mr. Six developed & portrayed this character in the film is actually kinda interesting with a tortured background but I just didn't like the fact that he's a crazy fan of HC-1ST SEQ & conducted the whole 10 person ass-to-mouth experiment by himself alone. May be there's a hidden dark meaning or message out there somewhere which I failed to get but I think this character of "Martin" needed a helping hand or would better suited as a helper/assistant of another crazed surgeon or failed/frustrated/freak medical student (or an apprentice of Dr. Heiter) by still getting the main attention throughout the movie as it was Martin who would control the major tricks & turns all the way. The way Martin presented in the story, he was actually quite unfit or incompetent for conducting HC experiment. Moreover, the way he was collecting 'the samples' from his regular job place without grabbing any attention from any authority/anyone or consequences was absurd. The black & white photography was an interesting & nice touch by Tom Six that little bit seems to gave a Lynchian-Eraserhead vibe on Martin's inside house sequence but overall Mr. Six didn't manage or not even intended to gave an artistic look to his film as he deliberately made an over-the-top grotesque showcase of bizarre sadism. There's actually nothing added to the story or consequence of original or 1st HC story. Moreover, they presented the original as a 'film' in this sequel (where I expected & preferred a follow up of the events happened in the 1st film) and who knows...may be we'll see another psycho in the "Final sequence" watching the 'Full Sequence' and conducting a 20 people linked gruesome centipede-experiment.

The Woman in Black is awesome! One of only a handful of made-for-TV movies that is actually scary. And it has one of the scariest individual scenes I can recall.

You can usually count on the Europeans to do made-for-TV right. At least the Brits are doing the remake so it should be halfway decent.

Such a great film. Probably my favourite Bava flick.

I love Bay of Blood for its effects and groundbreaking early gore, but it annoys me to no end that Bava threw in a ridiculous unrelated subplot of kids partying in an abandoned house just to murder them. Why not just make them some of the heirs' kids or something? It's like two different movies spliced together.

There's actually nothing added to the story or consequence of original or 1st HC story. Moreover, they presented the original as a 'film' in this sequel (where I expected & preferred a follow up of the events happened in the 1st film)

Though it starts with the final credits of 1st film "The Human Centipede (First Sequence)", but then the camera pulls back & we see this is playing on a laptop and the lead on this sequel Martin, seating in a toll booth in a parking garage is watching the film. And we gradually become know that Martin is a freaking fan of the original/1st movie....and thus HC 2: FULL SEQUENCE is not a follow up of the first film as the story this time revolves around in the "real world" and the first film (1st Sequence) comes here with a reference as a "Film"; not some events that happened some time ago. But an actress played a role in the 1st film reappear in this sequel by just portraying herself as an actress.

I meant final cut as in, they left it in the finished movie, and not said "that's fucking ridiculous, cut that bit out".

**Edit** - just saw that someone else already cleared that up. Never mind, move along people, nothing to see here.

Though it starts with the final credits of 1st film "The Human Centipede (First Sequence)", but then the camera pulls back & we see this is playing on a laptop and the lead on this sequel Martin, seating in a toll booth in a parking garage is watching the film. And we gradually become know that Martin is a freaking fan of the original/1st movie....and thus HC 2: FULL SEQUENCE is not a follow up of the first film as the story this time revolves around in the "real world" and the first film (1st Sequence) comes here with a reference as a "Film"; not some events that happened some time ago. But an actress played a role in the 1st film reappear in this sequel by just portraying herself as an actress.

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/baby-shower.jpg

This Chilean horror film revolves around Angela, who is pregnant with twins, and is meeting up with 4 of her friends at a remote cottage, outside her city, to celebrate her pregnancy. As the friends meet, dark secrets surface, like one of the women's close involvements of a strange and evil cult led by spiritualists, devoted not only to meditation, but also to murder, human sacrifice and other macabre rituals.

When the four friends decide to leave, their cars don't work, the phone lines have been cut, and the cell phones can't get a signal, it dawns on them that their happy baby shower has just turned into a nightmare of bloodbath.

A slasher-occult flick from Chile with some decent gore contents. Not bad.

Attack the Block (2011) - When I was watching I didn't realize that it was from the producers of Shaun of the Dead, and it felt really similar (not as good) but the same vibe was being given off. It was a fun movie, not scary, sometimes it was funny, sometimes it gave a little message about race/class. But overall, it didn't stick with one thing, which I think hurt it, because it felt kind of messy. It was a fun watch though. If you're a fan of Shaun of the Dead, give this a try.

One of my favorite films. Darkly humorous, bleak, surreal, and haunting.

"Quantez" (1957)
-Fred MacMurray, Dorthy Malone

Plot: Classicflix

John Coventry,and a gang of robbers trying to escape the law and cross the Mexican border.. The outlaws manage to elude the law and navigate the rough terrain, but the flight comes to a dangerous halt in the mysterious abandoned town of Quantez.

Coventry and company are forced to stave off an Indian attack. As their enemies get closer, tempers flare, betrayals set in, and lines are drawn between the men.

Phantom's Review: Very well acted character drama with an interesting concept. The only problem with this film is that it's almost totally action less and when some action does happen (towards the end) it feels forced. Not a bad movie, just not all that great.

[Fearonsarms]

Savage Streets-average US revenge style exploitation film with Linda Blair (the bitch from the Exorcist)doing an ample job given the limited dialogue/acting/exploitation. Ok I'm being mean there was one disturbing scene but that's nothing compared to other exploitation pix. I have no idea whether this film was meant to be fun or taken serious-I suppose your view on that will depend on how much you enjoy watching Linda Blair having a catfight with a cheerleader with naked chicks in the showers.

Yeah, Gloria Swanson was incredible in that film! She conjures so many feelings in the viewer toward her character; it's really astounding. I love how Billy Wilder turns Hollywood in on itself, even in the casting, most people playing themselves or versions of themselves: Gloria Swanson, a silent film star; Erich von Stroheim, a German silent film director; Buster Keaton, silent film star; Hedda Hopper, gossip columnist; Cecil B. DeMille; etc. Really just an endlessly fascinating and brilliant work.

I need to see that film again - It's been a while. I remember seeing it on Broadway, which was OK, but the film is really amazing...

[ChronoGrl]

OK - So it's been a while since I've posted updates here... Here goes...


Rammbock: Berlin Undead (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1583356/) (2010)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/RAMMBOCK.jpg


Pretty average and derivative zombie film. To be honest, I don't typically mind if a film is derivative (example: 2004's Shutter (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0440803/)), that is if the film has enough to keep me interested. In the case of Shutter, I thought that it had solid acting and while it was "just another Asian ghost movie," I thought it had some good jumps/scares, good acting and writing, and was well done.

In the case of Rammbock, to be honest, I really didn't care for our main character to begin with, so that makes me lose interest almost immediately. I also didn't really care about our supporting characters. Want to see a good outbreak movie in an apartment complex? Watch [rec] or even Quarantine (I don't care what you say; I liked the remake) - But you can skip Rammbock.

2/5.

Seconds Apart (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1601475/) (2011)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/secondsapart.jpg


Baaaahaha - Ok, it's hard to put how I feel about this movie into words... There is so much wrong with it - It's INCREDIBLY self-conscious and over-the-top (but not in a humorous way), it takes itself waaaaaaaay too seriously, it's rampant with not only horror tropes, but noir tropes as well (EVIL TWINS, MEDICAL EXPERIMENTS, COP LOOKING FOR REDEMPTION), the reveal is seriously insane... And why on EARTH would they think that casting ORLANDO JONES as a bitter detective was a GOOD IDEA?!

But... At the same time... For all of these pitfalls, the movie was actually incredibly enjoyable, even if in some odd, ironic sort of way. I kinda want someone like Fortunado or Roshiq to check it out because I think that they would find it as entertaining as I did.

It's a mess of a film, but ultimately I sat through it and enjoyed what I had just watched... Even if only ironically.

(I don't think I can give a star rating to this)


...


YellowBrickRoad (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1398428/) (2010)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/yellowbrickroad.jpg


Buh - Talk about another mess... I actually really like the premise and the sort-of found-footage vibe:

1940: the entire population of Friar, New Hampshire walked up a winding mountain trail, leaving everything behind.
2008: the first official expedition into the wilderness attempts to solve the mystery of the lost citizens of Friar.

The acting was just so/so, the pacing was horrendous, it didn't really effectively create the creepy atmosphere that it was going for (so many scenes where it was so so close, but nooooooooot right), and the end made me bang my head against the wall.

It feels like an art school project for horror fans by horror fans and the boyfriend definitely enjoyed it more than I did, but the whole time I just felt as though it were missing critical components... Kinda like spaghetti sauce without tomatoes...


...


Scream 4 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1262416/) (2011)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/scream4poster.jpg


Meh. Pretty forgettable, but better than the third one, I guess?

I appreciated the beginning of the movie, the "opening scenes" from the Stab films were entertaining, particularly the scene with Anna Paquin and Kristen Bell.

uh7rCfTA_PM

The thing is, the beginning of the film is clearly critiquing poor horror movie franchises while, of course, being one - I realize the concept of self-consciousness, but I really didn't see the point or need for another Scream movie - I'd prefer that the money goes into something new. Sigh.

The Last Broadcast (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0122143/) (1998)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/the_last_broadcast.jpg


I actually really enjoyed this. A lot of people compare it to Blair Witch but it takes the approach of the documentary instead of flat-out "found footage" - It plays like an extended episode of Unexplained Mysteries or the like... Now, depending on your preference, you may find this approach (and this movie) to be incredibly boring... My boyfriend did. I, however, enjoyed it a lot - It's not a perfect movie by any means (the ending, while the statement was interesting, was a little silly), but I enjoyed it for what it was.

Not a lot of people on this board liked the movie Lake Mungo (like I did)... If you did, I recommend this.

3/5.


...


Trick 'R Treat (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0862856/) (2008)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/trickrtreat.jpg


My second time watching this movie, and it certainly doesn't lose its charm over repeat viewings. I really love how it plays with the myths and legends surrounding Halloween and also plays with the viewer's expectations. It's a great homage to classics like Tales from the Crypt or Creepshow. That being said, if you're not a fan of anthology horror films, stay away (my boyfriend isn't and didn't really like this movie).

I find it clever, well-made, and there are parts that still eek me out or make me squirm. I think it's a total blast and the perfect film for the die-hard horror fan.

Watch it if you haven't already.

4.5/5.


...


Grave Encounters (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1703199/) (2011)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/grave_encounters_poster.jpg


I really liked this. I am also finding out about myself that I really enjoy the "found footage" style of film, so as long as the movie is relatively well-done I'll get some enjoyment out of it.

The acting is solid. The atmosphere is definitely creepy (made me jump a few times). The special effects, while silly at times, are forgivable because I think that this movie really does succeed to separate and alienate our (anti?)-heroes, so their fear is our own.

It's a pretty simple film-crew-goes-into-a-haunted-asylum-and-horror-ensues-found-footage-film and I'm sure that a lot of people would call it "derivative" or "a rip-off of Blair Witch" or something to that extent... But I don't care - I thought it was well done and it creeped me out, so I recommend it if you're looking for a good solid little scare.

3.75/5.


...


Paranormal Activity 3 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1778304/) (2011)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/paranormal_activity_three.jpg


I thoroughly enjoyed this movie - I thought that the acting was spectacular (I typically HATE HATE HATE child actors, but these little girls were fantastic), the scares were solid, and the ending/reveal was fantastic.

I could care less about the complaints of "HOW DOES THIS FILM EVEN CONNECT TO THE FIRST TWO" because, quite frankly, I actually think that it could stand on its own as a solid haunting/demon film. I really liked the ending; I thought that it was well-done and truly horrifying (nothing necessarily new to the horror genre as a whole, per se, but I thought it was well done) and there were honestly scenes where I had to grip my boyfriend's hand out of fear.

I thought that the movie had perfect pacing - While I think that the second film might have burned a bit too slowly, I think that the pacing in PA3 really brought the threat in soon and escalated it well.

Plus, I thought the special effects were great - Clearly you have someone at the helm who loves horror and who loves to play tricks on the audience members - Bravo to them.

All-in-all, an enjoyable, believably creepy, and well-done movie. Definitely recommended.

4/5.

[roshiq]

Oh, Chrono!

I can only agree with you on Trick 'r Treat & YBR. But Grave Encounters?!? I didn't find it creepy or care for the characters. Very average with cheap scares & effects (except for that rat eating scene...they done that well).

And I did enjoy Rammbock & Seconds Apart and also liked Scream 4 as I hadn't any expectation to get blew away from a 4th installment of a slasher franchise, I guess. It was simple fun with known formula. As a sequel it was at least better than SAW 4-7, IMO.

I haven't seen Last Broadcast & PA3 yet.

I LOVED Lake Mungo! The Last Broadcast was very good too, until the ending, when I wanted to put my fist through the TV screen, I was so angry. They totally ruined a perfectly adept mockumentary. They should have just kept the doc format running all the way the way through, kept up the mystery, and left the ending open.

[detune]

Evilspeak - I loved it. Typical bullied-kid-gets-revenge story, but with Apple II's and demons! Actually brings back fond memories of my teen years.

A Serbian Film - I wasn't sure what to expect with all the hype. I decided it pretty much lives up to its reputation for the surprise ending alone, if not so much by the rest of the film. There are certainly a few over-the-top scenes which are too goofy to be effective. Overall, though, one of the more disturbing films I've seen, and well-made. Some very nice gore to boot.

TOTALLY agree... I get the point that they were making, but thought that pulling away from the mockumentary and tearing down the fourth wall like that was a mistake... But I enjoyed the first bits enough to just ignore it.

Glad you liked Lake Mungo... I thought it was so well done and genuinely unsettling.

[Q...]

Tell me more. I'm honestly curious with people's reactions to both movies... I'll probably never see them because I know they'd eek me out too much but, like you said, curiosity... What made it so awful?

Well, for a start, there are so many plot holes it's really hard to ignore them. The tag line of "100% medically inaccurate" is absolutely spot on. The victims would have been dead long before any of the actual procedure started. Plus, you never get to know any of the victims well enough to really care about them, so the film is totally devoid of emotion.

The acting is awful. It's probably very low budget (I can't seem to find budget details for it online) but even so, the Average Joe in the street could put in a better performance than the "cast" collected in HCII. Maybe, like first one, the one decent performance came thanks to the antagonist; Dr Heiter in the first and Martin in the second. Martin doesn't speak, which make him an interesting character I suppose.

There is also some nice references to the first film, which I won't say too much about in case of spoiling it for anyone, but used in any half-decent way the technique could be effective. However, Tom Six fails here.

But I watched it and will watch the third one, because it's something a lot of people will love to hate!

Just have the sick bag ready if you do watch!

[roshiq]

Tell me more about how you felt about Seconds Apart!! What a strange, scattered movie, huh???? Couldn't stop watching the disaster though...


Normally evil twin premise seem cliched and predictable but at the very beginning; Seconds Apart comes with an interesting opening scene. There is no build up, we are thrust into this crazy story as we witness some boys become the subjects of the twins' interesting "project". It does not let down from here on in as the deaths become stranger and the storyline becomes more warped.

This film would have fallen apart if the two twin leads did not have the right look or the talent to back it up; fortunately both the brothers were impressive. They mirror each other exactly, making the scenes where they terrorize classmates all more chilling. When weaknesses start occurring in one's personality it's really nice to see how they play off each other and as their relationship change.
Though Orlando Jones is barely recognizable in his role as Detective but he wasn't terrible either. The problem mainly lies in his character like with the feeling of guilt and responsibility after his wife's death and this case seems to be a personal mission for redemption…now that's pretty cliched.
What is great about this film is that nothing really goes in a usual way; it has all the makings of a generic thriller, but the story did kept me watching to see how it is resolved at the end. The storyline with the detective is fairly predictable and it resolves itself the way you would imagine, but the end sequence was well orchestrated as the things were heating up well before they climax to a blistering end.

Overall, a surprisingly good entry from AfterDark Originals.

The Surgeon (1995)

I really didnt think I was going to enjoy this one as much as I did. There was just somethin about this movie that really grabbed my attention. I recommend checking it out.

[roshiq]

Punishment Park (http://eurekavideo.co.uk/moc/catalogue/punishment-park/) (1971)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/PunishmentPark1971.jpg

Few months back while I was looking through some IMDB lists then I first get to know about this film & it made me instantly pretty curious to give it a blind watch as early as possible. At that time I just found the title & the premise very interesting.
Now, after watching it very late last night without knowing much about the background or the content, Peter Watkins' Punishment Park just straight way made me think & feel I was watching something very real...a genuinely horrifying documentary that was probably banned or hidden all these years or people didn't like to talk about it for its shockingly true & appalling subject matter. Therefore, in this regard, this is surely turned out one of the best Shockumentary I have seen so far.

Punishment Park is a politically subversive pseudo-documentary giving a voice to the disaffected youth of late sixties/early seventies America. Imagined as the footage of a British news crew it set in a detention camp in an unspecified near-future, detainees gamble their freedom on an attempt to cross the desert (bare footed with no water) whilst being chased down by a squad of heavily armed police and National Guardsmen. In the California desert, arrested dissidents are tried by an emergency tribunal aka kangaroo court and when found guilty (as all are) they're given the choice between unreasonably lengthy imprisonment or take a gamble on three days in the park. Once released into the park, the dissidents - grouped in bunches as numbered 'Corrective Groups' - are given three days to make it 50 miles through the scorching desert to an American flag. That is, if they can evade police capture; they have a two-hour head start.

This is a troubling document from a time when the US seemed about to tip into chaos and the powers that be would have gone to unimaginable lengths to maintain their control. But what gives Punishment Park its quite substantial punch is the absolutely palpable air of paranoia that pass through in every scene. The film flips back and forth between one Corrective Group's miserable odyssey across the desert and the next Group's tribunal hearings (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067633/quotes). One of the best aspects of the film is those heated tribunal sessions.

"I don't have to call you what you are, you know what you are...better than I do."

According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punishment_Park#Technical_notes), Mr. Watkins allowed his cast to mostly speak their minds to each other and the cameras, and that creates a fascinating time capsule from a time & gave birth to a tale of a generation when average citizens actually cared passionately about their country and were willing to go to extreme lengths for those beliefs & doesn't care about the consequences.
Of course, now, some 40 years on, it might be supposed that the political context of Punishment Park is out of date - but Watkins' film still has its relevance, as the US again & again caught in endless foreign conflicts resulted the untold horrors of US detention compounds in Guantanamo Bay, Iraq and Afghanistan. Looking back on history reminds us of the differences and similarities between then and now, but still Punishment Park shows that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Punishment Park is an extraordinary film, very much thought provoking and deeply depressing. A must see for everyone.

[NinetyNine]

The last one I saw was Halloween Resurrection - It was pretty good, though other hardcore horror fans may disagree. I'm incredibly biased towards horrors and since I love the Halloween series, I couldn't help but enjoy this. Really, the only Halloween movie I didn't like was Halloween 3 but that's cause it had nothing to do with Michael Myers and the first two movies. That scene where the girl stumbled into Michael's secret room was my favorite part. Aside from the kills, it had some funny moments too, including that banter with Michael Myers and the guy who was impersonating him.

I started watching the Curse of Michael Myers but it was late and I fall asleep. I'm gonna finish it tonight and with that, I'll have completed the trilogy of Halloween films that I bought for $5.

Deep Rising meets The Abyss on an offshore oil rig!

The beginning of the film is so reminiscent of The Abyss that it's uncanny - right down to the small glowing creatures! For the next 30-odd minutes the film goes nowhere before the first death occurs. Many things are left unexplained which makes it a bit confusing (the ridiculous subtitles don't help much either) and when the explanations come, they make your eye roll. Then, the film enters Deep Rising mode (even swapping the power jet ski-boat of Treat Williams/Famke Janssen for a motorbike here). The similarities don't end here - look closely after the climax and you will find an ode to Predator's ending in the whole chopper pickup scene!

A mish-mash of several Hollywood films (the maker is obviously very inspired by all of them) which sadly doesn't click. Only when the monster comes in (a pretty cool looking one - http://popcultureninja.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Sector-7-monster.png), does the film get any sort of injection to run forward.

Too bad, because they could have done wonderfully well with the setting - an offshore oil rig cut off from the world during a thunderstorm.

Watch if you have any time to spare for a monster film. Skipping it will not be a big deal at all.

I watched Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb again recently for a critical analysis essay I had to write. Honestly, I'd give it 9/10...maybe even 10/10. It's one of my favourite films of all time, brilliant satire and hilarious!

Also, I watched Enter The Void most recently. Crazy, crazy film. Really trippy. I'm not sure how I felt about it though. The unpleasant scenes make it not great to watch whilst high but the trippy scenes almost make being high a prerequisite. I guess I liked it more than I disliked it though so...6 (maybe 7)/10.

The Shrine (2010)

holy crap, it wasn't wholly crap. i'm smashed so idk if i'll type spoilers so here's your

***SPOILER ALERT*** just in case












this movie was... the shit. amazing. had everything i could expect or hope for from a horror film, let alone a MODERN horror film. the fact that one third of the movie was in polish was a huge deal to me. i'm american, and when an american film is dedicated enough to not only produce a good portion of their movie in a 'foreign' language, but to cement that with some bitchin folklore, cool cinemetography and... sub-par(but it's a horror show so who gives a flip) acting, that's an em-effing win. scene that smacked me in the face with awesome (though predictable): first girl in the mist with the statue. also a twister: bad guys are the good guys and good guys are the bad in the end? = baller. this reminded me of everything i like about horror movies and i would highly recommend it to any of you blokes who haven't seen it yet. sry if you watch it because of this review, but i warned you about spoilers yo.

Darbareye Elly aka About Elly (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1360860/) (2009)

A group of 3 married couples (Sepideh-Amir, Shohreh-Peyman, Nazi-Manoochehr), some with children, visits to a seaside town & stays in a seaside villa for a short break. The only single people in the group are Ahmad who has recently separated from his German wife and Elly who is a nursery teacher to Sepideh's child. Sepideh (who brought Elly in the trip) has organized the whole trip, as well as playing matchmaker for Ahmad and Elly.

After the very first night, in next morning Elly wants to go back home because of her worried mother but Sepideh doesn't let her. Sepideh and Shohreh went shopping, men were playing volleyball and little girls were playing at the beach with Elly while the other kid (Arash) was swimming. After a while, the girls came and reported to their fathers that Arash was missing. The film really takes off just at that point when, in an apparent attempt to rescue the 'missing' kid, Arash from drowning, Elly disappears. Was she drowned too or did she just leave...but why would she do that?...whatever actually happened to Elly?

Iran's official submission to 82nd Academy Award's Foreign Language category in 2010 (though didn't get the final nomination) is a very nicely crafted suspense-drama that interestingly play with its characters, somewhat in a 12 Angry Men fashion where lies, suspicion & speculation slowly starts to digs off some dark sides of each others very human nature.

Highly recommended.

Just finished watching "May". Enjoyed it. Not 100% sure about the ending, but guess it's open to interpretation. The opening scene, though, I think, is excellent. I like how the character develops and you can see her slipping further and further into insanity as the film goes on. And you can almost pinpoint the exact moment she finally snaps completely. Not bad at all.

Checked it out due to many saying it was better than The Tribe. With me being a Lost Boys fan I was dissapointed with The Tribe but I did enjoy The Thirst as it mostly had Edgar Frog as the lead but I did wish Alan was in it a little more.

I do hope they decide to do a Series with Edgar and Alan Frog later on

If you have always loved your Tintin comics, then the film will certainly meet (or even exceed) your expectations. Flawless characterisations of Snowy, Capt. Haddock, Thomson & Thompson and even Tintin himself looked like they arrived straight out of Herge's comic books. The 3D effects were also done wonderfully well and blended nicely with the story and the visuals, and were not like the in-your-face 3D stuff we find in other recent movies. My only regret - I missed Professor Calculus terribly. Otherwise, makers take note - THIS is how you make a perfect live-action comic adaptation.

Go with your family and have a blast, like I did.

The Stone Tape (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069316/) (1972)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/TheStoneTape1.jpg

Combining aspects of science and superstition was a frequent & fantastic theme in Nigel 'Quatermass' Kneale's works and followed by that, his 1972 BBC Telefilm The Stone Tape concerns a team of scientists who move into their new research facility, a renovated Victorian mansion that has a reputation for being haunted. Especially, one particular big empty room that they wanted to make their computer room turned out spooky! Investigating & sensing something wrong in the place; they gradually learn that the haunting is a recording of a past event stored by the stone in that room. Believing that this may be the key to the development of a new recording medium, they throw all their expertise and high-tech equipment into learning how the stone tape preserves its recording. However, their investigations serve only to unleash a darker, more malevolent force.

Directed by Peter Sasdy (Taste the Blood of Dracula & Hands of the Ripper) with a good cast of actors, this is somewhat a thinking person's horror film, very low on body count with zero gore and not so much concentrated on jump scares but still effectively delivers an intelligent ghost story. Even, since its broadcast on BBC Two as a Christmas ghost story in 1972, the hypothesis of residual haunting - that ghosts are recordings of past events made by the natural environment - has come to be known as the "Stone Tape Theory" by para psychological researchers (Info source: Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stone_Tape#Cultural_significance)).

But sadly, this critically acclaimed & so much significant gem of magnificent 70s Horror somehow didn't get much attention from the genre fans. Most probably for its plot structure & unavailability of DVDs, I guess.

Like a M.R. James story, this fascinating tale of supernatural strangely grows spookier minute by minute, particularly when it comes close to its chilling final revelations.

"Catlow" (1971)
-Yul Brynner, Richard Crenna, Leonard Nimoy

Plot :IMDB

Marshall Cowan and the mercenary Miller are both separately hunting the outlaw Catlow. During the Civil War both Cowan and the always smiling Catlow were comrades. Catlow helps Cowan, when he is wounded in the right leg by an arrow from the Apaches, despite Cowan hunting him. Catlow escapes with help of his gang. Catlow then robes a Mexican gold shipment, worth $ 2,000,000. Catlow flies with the stolen gold through the dangerous territory of the Apaches who besides of Miller, Cowan and the Mexican cavalry, are hunting for him and his gang of outlaws.

Phantom's Review: While it's kind of strange to see Yul Brynner in a western NOT wearing his traditional black hat and outfit, this is still a fun,light hearted film. Plenty of good western action and stunts. A good story (based on a Louis L'Amour novel) and some fine acting. It's a treat to see Nimoy as the bad ass bounty hunter looking for Brynner's outlaw. Brynner had a great charm and it really shows in this film. Not a classic, but highly entertaining.

This is probably the most insane documentary I have ever seen. The people featured in this film are like nothing I had seen before. I've seen hillbillies, rednecks, and white trash before but nothing like this. I actually had to double check and make sure this wasn't a mockumentary because of the outrageous family.

I give this movie a 9/10 just because it was so damn entertaining. Really there isn't much point to the movie but it kept me mesmerized.

The Dead (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1386925/) (2011)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/TheDead2.jpg

An American military engineer washes up on the coast of west Africa after his evacuation flight crashes. as the sole survivor he attempts to reach a northern military air field to re-attempt his escape, and runs into a soldier of the African military who is trying to find his son during a zombie-outbreak.

This is a pretty Good zombie-road movie set against a beautiful African landscape which is a nice change from all those abandoned busy city streets & houses of any recent zombie films. With a plain & simple story of survival & hopelessness, it comes with a small but good cast of actors and some great cinematography. Somewhat like the film itself, you'll find slow moving zombies after quite a long time in this film that comes with a decent amount of gore & sfx works. Inspired by Romero's classic "...of the Dead" masterpieces, the directors really did a quite convincing job overall, IMO.

Didn't think this was as bad as a lot of people are making out. A bit slick and hollow but it was pretty entertaining. It really lacked the dark tone of Oliver Stone's script for the original. The finale was pretty underwhelming and could've been better. This would've been a better watch at the theatre I think. Still there's some cool moments and I thought the first quarter of the flick was really well done.

I like this movie, but i just feel that some of the acting on the mother's behalf is peculiar...
I think she thought against ans suspected Delia way too early when she definitely wasnt showing any signs of being the Anti-christ at that point in time. I just found that her disbelif of normal childish intentions just wayyy too early on in this film.
And i feel that it was just too short and not as in depth as the preciding films had been. I just wish it would have gone just as deep.

Page Eight (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1797469/) (2011)

An intelligent, politically charged spy thriller with dark humor; where Bill Nighy plays Johnny Worricker, an old school MI5 agent - decent, uncorrupted but who's being forced to deal with the realities of the post-Iraq world. Rachel Weisz as his striking next-door neighbor and political activist, Michael Gambon as his old friend & boss, the director of MI5 and Ralph Fiennes as the prime minister of England...stellar cast!

Interesting thing is last year he co-starred with another stunning beauty Emily Blunt in Wild Target (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1235189/) and now, this year he has done this BBC TV movie with Rachel Weisz...great going, Mr. Nighy! ;)

"Stagecoach To Dancers Rock" (1962)
-Warren Stevens, Martin Landau

Plot :IMDB
Six passengers in a stagecoach are abandoned by their driver when he thinks that one of them has smallpox.

Phantom's Review: Well acted, but predictable low budget film. Very little action and even less logic make up this movie. Feels almost like it was made back in the '40's by Monagram or Republic Studios. Worth one viewing if your a western fan, but after that, forget it.

My girlfriends favorite movie. I had never seen it before so we sat down and watched it last night. This movie is really amazing. The songs, the choreography, and the story are excellent. Even if you're not a fan of Beatles music, i'd still recommend this.

It didn't slip under everyone's radar at all-It was premiered at London's horrorfest 2010 and I mentioned a while back that I was dying to see (as did a couple of other people) it as soon as the dvd came out.

Well that slipped under my radar.

Well that slipped under my radar.


Mine too, Elvis.

I think he was just saying that this was a great film that many of us missed. Hell, if not for HDC i wouldn't know it existed...

4/10 bored the hell out of me

Agreed! I had to turn it off, and I almost never do that with films.
