I want to see that but my parents wont let me. They say I'm not old enough yet.

That's stupid I'm 16 going on 17 and they let me watch the Hell Raiser films when I was 13.

there's no rush. it's not going anywhere. it's a matter of age/apprehension/appreciation.

I think you both lose and gain appreciations at different ages. can't gain by jumping out of sync.

Re-Animator (1985)
I.M.D.B. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089885/)
A dedicated student at a medical college and his girlfriend become involved in bizarre experiments centering around the re-animation of dead tissue when an odd new student arrives on campus.

(To celebrate the recent BluRay release)
What to say about this one? While I found it awkward to watch at first, I soon settled into it and found moments of brilliance. What first seems like over-the-top acting starts to fit perfectly with the nature of the movie. And for every bad bit of dialogue there are brilliant exchanges nestled between. The more I watched it the more I absolutely loved it, especially the later half of the movie with David Gale's (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0301834/?ref_=tt_cl_t4) excellent performance as a severed head and all the weirdness that ensues. It's taken a long time for me to watch this one but it was worth the wait. Recommended!

I always think that's odd.

Classic example is a film for a child... like say Godzilla Vs Megalon. As a child, it's very cool, as an adult, almost unwatchable. Surely there's gradations from 16 years-old to older adult -- probably a bit more fine (slight), but still there.

I hate to sound like a stalker... but I loved Silver Bullet also. My kids and I watched that one together and it's one of our "cozy" movies! ( I actually thought the priest was hot too, lol)

[FryeDwight]

And I watched George Romero's Knight Riders (1981)... all I knew about it was knights on motorcycles, and if I expected anything it was a campy Mad Max thing... which is totally incorrect. It surprised me. A few elements of the thing irk me slightly, but it's a wonderful handling of Arthurian stuff without being a retelling (although it helps if you know the Arthur stuff, so you can spot Elaine, the fisher king, etc. If you don't know that it might be confusing.) Merlin with butterflies painted on his scalp is a nice touch, Tom Savini turns in a great acting performance (seems to be just acting like himself), some jump-inducing stunts, and bonus points for Stephen King snorting down a sammich.
Anyone else seen it? It's a rather well made little film.[/QUOTE]

KNIGHTRIDERS is VERY good, although atypical for Romero.

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1971). Some of the previous posts inspired me to watch this again. One of Kubrick's best, although it drags towards the end. Amazing work by John Alcott/Walter Carlos and Malcolm is very engaging in what have must been a difficult role. Oddly, as older, find lots of it quite funny...Alex's reunion with his droogs, his disciplining them and the scene with his parents and their border.
Back in 1971, this and STRAW DOGS were heartily condemned for the violence, but find CO to have a more choreographed feel (although "Surprise Visit" is so perverse) while SD has a more gritty sadistic edge to it.
Obviously not for everyone, but should be seen at least once. ****1/2

I watched this for the first time just this Monday and thought it was charming, with some pretty slick werewolf FX and a fun cast. Gary Busey really was perfect for the role of Uncle Red.

The Thing (1982)
I.M.D.B. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084787/)
It's the first week of winter in 1982. An American Research Base is greeted by an alien force, that can assimilate anything it touches. It's up to the members to stay alive, and be sure of who is human, and who has become one of the Things.

(In celebration of Collector Edition Bluray)
It's been 20 years since I first watched it so it felt like the first time. And I absolutely loved it. Brilliant suspense and tension, great characters, impressive makeup - overall this is a fantastic movie experience, the influences from which can be seen in so many movies since. Probably my favourite of the Halloween horror month so far. Highly recommended.

Watched THE THING again (1982). This is really one hell of a movie, with still awesome FX and Kurt Russell is dead cool. If You have not yet, check out the commentary with Kurt and John Carpenter...think a few beers were consumed as lots of laughter. Kurt is in the same frame also during USED CARS (1980) and BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA (1986) commentaries also. By the way, I also recommend the other two. *****

PSYCHO 2 (1983). Lots of things to recommend here-Anthony Perkins,impressive visual shots and sets-, but incredibly flabby script by Tom Holland (who improved greatly with FRIGHT NIGHT and CHILD'S PLAY) brings it way down.

Well, Repo, it's a taste thing. Some types of surreal really drive me nutso! I mean in a bad way. ::big grin::

Ironically, I guess, I'm very into symbolism, subconscious, psychedelic art, I even dig the Dali... (Salvador)... but in regards to the surreal of The Beyond, the inconsistencies, it just drove me nuts. I guess I like meaning in my horror. Even the "and then strange things start to happen" stretches in some horror films just aren't my cup of tea.

In that case I can see how The Beyond wouldn't rate very high with you. I wonder, along with your preference for meaning in horror, do you also prefer more linear story telling? The Beyond is fairly linear but many surrealist films are not. Just curious as to your preference, if you have any at all. I can get behind either style as long as the film is compelling.

Yes, I liked Beyond's linear story assembly. I liked lot's of the visuals and shot choices.

Do I prefer more linear story telling? Probably. ::big grin::

I mean, I've seen non-linear done really well, where it's integral to the presentation -- creating curiosity, setting up suspense, etc. Every once in awhile I'll see a film, or TV ep, that jumbles up the time line and I can't see how/why it was used... where it basically doesn't significantly change how the audience experiences the subsequent sequences.

Take a film like Crash (2004)... which breathed new life into my lungs... it's non-linear, and the interweaving character/stories and ensemble cast -- that didn't bother me a second. I thought it was fantastic, and not just technically. I thought it was one of the most loving films since Yellow Submarine. Heck, should be required viewing after this election. ::wink::

Still amazes me how Roger Ebert shrieked and railed about early 80's horror flick when his script has many of the same things::shocked::

Yeah, Russ Meyer is underrated as a filmmaker. Technically he was stellar and his films are always entertaining. Not sure Horror would have been something he would have wanted to try, but I would have watched, for sure!

I love it too, FD, and yes, the music is a blast. I find myself randomly humming the songs all the time. I didn't know Cynthia had passed away. Such a gorgeous woman, and you're right, she did a decent job on screen. In fact, Meyers seemed to have a knack for getting fairly solid performances out of his cast members, no matter how much acting experience they had. Wow, all this Meyers talk is making me want to watch Beyond again!

Interesting, gritty British true crime Docudrama about perhaps (according to this film) England's most inept criminal..

Doctors Herbert West and Dan Cain discover the secret to creating human life and proceed to create a perfect woman from dead tissue.

I didn't give this movie a fair go the first time around, I didn't give it most of my attention and I don't really remember it at all. It has my boy Roddy in it though so I have no problem watching it "again".

I loved it!

Oh and hey! If you follow along with the time stamps through out the movie, this ends up being a Christmas film. That was completely unintentional. ::big grin::

"The Haunting of Hill House"? That's a new one to me. I was thinking how much it was like "House on Haunted Hill", one of my favorite movies. I still loved this one though because they're both still very different films. HoHH you are never told for sure if the house was haunted because of Price and his wife's drama through the whole thing, you assume on and off that it is but it is never made clear. LoHH it is very clear there are ghosts about, and this house is indeed haunted. It's like the HoHH remake if that movie hadn't been complete garbage.

The Haunting of Hill House is a 1959 novel by author Shirley Jackson. The film The Haunting (1963) is a fairly faithful adaptation of the novel.

The film The Legend of Hell House (1973) is based on the American novel Hell House by Richard Matheson, who also wrote the screenplay.

Personally, I find the two films very different. They both deal with "investigating the supernatural" in a "haunted" mansion, but the tone is very different. Haunting is softer and psychological, where Hell House is very blunt.

RollinFan, you maybe thinking of Burnt Offerings (1976) by Dan Curtis being too like Hell House?

Isn't that what I had just said? ::wink::

The premises are very similar. Interestingly, the stated premises also indicate how the films would be very different. One mission is to find scientific evidence of life after death. The other: evidence of the supernatural. The former was a much more blunt showy film that failed in the plot mission. The other experienced lots of supernatural stuff, but also just kind of floated along to a very indiscriminate conclusion. ::big grin::

From Beyond (1986)
I.M.D.B. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091083/)
A group of scientists have developed the Resonator, a machine which allows whoever is within range to see beyond normal perceptible reality. But when the experiment succeeds, they are immediately attacked by terrible life forms.

Some great moments in this movie, padded out with some pretty dodgy dialogue and delivery. Fantastic prosthetics, some bizarre scenes and a hot Barbara Crampton (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0186225/?ref_=tt_cl_t2) make this a good movie, that just falls short of being great.

Black Christmas

By far, my favorite Christmas horror movie. Shudder is streaming it right now. So glad I looked again to see what they have.

[FryeDwight]

DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978). This came to the Chicago area in Spring of 1979 and I just HAD to see it, being such a big fan of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. The newspaper ads had the "No One Under 18" admitted, but had been 17 for a few months and since I had gotten into see HALLOWEEN, ANIMAL HOUSE, MAGIC and MIDNIGHT EXPRESS earlier, did not forsee any problems with this.
Tried 4-5 theatres and was carded every time...tried the "I'm going to be 18 in about six months!", to no avail. Told my daughter years afterwards that if You missed a film back then, it was just hard luck. No video release in a few months, just hope it might have a re-issue or be butchered on TV and didn't think it was likely for DAWN.
Two years later was living in the Maryland (close to DC) and reading the paper and noticing with delight that it was playing on a double bill with MOTHER'S DAY, Was working until 9 that night and figured that since DAWN started at 9:30, if I left a little early and hauled ass, I could get to the theater in time-which I did in the last minute of MD.
Had tried to get someone to go with me, but no dice, so just went solo. Very quickly, I was astounded at how over the top the mayhem was and also how good the story, acting and music were.
\ About six months later, noticed it was a "Midnight Movie", so for Thanksgiving weekend, piled myself in the car with four cousins, my brother and my best friend to check it out and for the next couple of months, was there EVERY weekend , usually with new people to laugh at their reactions.
As you can guess, I just love this film and it definitely would be in my top ten-feel it has aged well and still has the cool impact. The novelization by Romero/Susan Sparrow is also good and ditto for the soundtrack (Got the record for my brother from FANTACO in 1983 and got the CD about 23 years later). Heck, one Christmas, my brother was playing this on the Family TV...unusual Christmas to be sure! *****

Suspiria (1977)
I.M.D.B. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076786/)
A newcomer to a fancy ballet academy gradually comes to realize that the school is a front for something far more sinister and supernatural amidst a series of grisly murders.

A lot of atmosphere, and interesting use of colours. Felt like a stage play in places. There were a few great shots. However I found the obnoxiously loud music that overpowered so many of the scenes quickly lost its atmospheric effect and became annoying. And like so many movies from this era, a lot of scenes were painfully drawn out.
6.5/10

For 70's Bond, I was much more taken with Live and Let Die. How would you rate the top 6 bond films?
Loved them when I was a teen, but not really crazy about any of them anymore, but have decent memories of DR NO, GOLDFINGER, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, LIVE AND LET DIE, NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN and THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS.




DAY OF THE DEAD (1985). Big disappointment when I first saw it and wondered what the hell George was thinking. A couple years later, saw it for rental and decided to check it out again and kind of liked it and grew to very much like it after a few more viewings and finding out the details involved in its making. There are just some films to have to see more than once to appreciate.
Watching it this weekend, still like it very much, but think NIGHT and DAWN are superior, although Savini's work in here is amazing, although there's too many shots of exploding heads and excessive gut shots(much the same for THE WALKING DEAD in many episodes). Not a lot of sympathetic characters other than Bub, although Joe Pilato's Captain Rhodes is SUCH an asshole, that he almost is likeable (Pilato is a lot of fun at cons, as he "stays in character") ****

Agreed, some of them were fairly juvenile, cheezy, or just not very good. Some were very adult and had decent stories to go with the rest of the fanfare. Of the past ones, Goldfinger, Live and Let Die and Golden Eye were good. Of the new set with Daniel Craig, I thought Casino Royal was one of the best Bond films yet. I liked all four of the new ones, with the last one Spectre, being good as well.

Initially, I liked 'Day' better than 'Dawn', only because it seemed like more of a film with a story: beginning, middle and end. About 30 minutes after 'Dawn' hits the mall, it really peters out to me -- which of course, is what, 70% of the film?

I think Day had some really good qualities, like the realism, moving things along, and of course, experimenting with the zombies. I think it missed a great opportunity with the later. It really needed to center and expand on experimenting the zombies is it's own grotesque symbolic detail.

[RollinFan]

Twins of Evil (1971) - one of the harder to find Hammer films, but sadly, not one of the better ones. The twins are great, but the good guy kills more young women than the bad guy. WTF?

The Legend Of The 7 Golden Vampires (1974) - another hard to find Hammer flick. Part Dracula movie, part Kung Fu movie. Stars Peter Cushing as Van Helsing, filmed in Hong Kong with a mostly Chinese cast. Not a bad movie, but certainly an odd one.

Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
3/10

A diamond smuggling investigation leads James Bond to Las Vegas, where he uncovers an evil plot involving a rich business tycoon.

Hard to sit through this two hour film. It opens with a horridly unrealistic static fight scene. I cringed. It wouldn't be the last cringe. Although the film is cut rather tightly, there is very little of this film that I wanted to see. It's often ridiculous and campy. It's also rather void of thrilling stunts and gadgetry. All the characters are woefully wooden. Certainly no one will care where this story is going, with practically no over arching suspense plotting, and then there's the ride, that is itself rather tedious.

I think the last 70s/80s horror movie I watched was Torso (1973) directed by Sergio Martino. I don't know why I usually like Giallo films, but Torso was kind of disappointing, maybe because it was the same old formula. In my opinion, Argento and Fulci have done the Giallo film better.

Zombie was good, but I'm not big into the zombie subgenre. I'm more of a werewolf buff. I rewatched An American Werewolf in London, yesterday. It holds up remarkably well in today's age. Torso was boring in my opinion and the climax was anticlimactic.

SQUIRM 1975


A terrible movie about worms attacking in the millions after a worm farm is electrified during a storm. There was, however, a couple of good jump scares.
In 1999, Squirm was one of the final films to be featured on the cult TV series Mystery Science Theater 3000.[8] The film was heavily edited for its MST3K appearance. Among the many scenes cut was the scene of Mick trudging through the swamp, the conversation between Mick and Alma, the worms' graphic attack on Roger, the gruesome fate of Mrs. Sanders, and the climax where Roger crawls after Mick and attempts to bite him.[citation needed]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squirm_(film)

April Fool's Day (1986)
5/10

Most of the actors give a mildly fun-spirited, and sometimes heartfelt, performance in this run-of-the-mill 80's slasher film... Not enough to make you care much or understand them, but just enough to keep your attention most of the time. The suspense and kills are fairly subpar, though that's partially by design, as this is actually a parody. There's a pay off at the end... like the film, a 5/10-star payoff time waster.

LONG WEEKEND 1978

A wife grudgingly agrees to go on a camping trip with her husband to help their crippled marriage. Their disregard for their natural surroundings starts to haunt them as the weekend progresses. Eerie and claustrophobic and imo, well-done.

NIGHTHAWKS (1981). A group of friends and I were going to see ALLIGATOR at the theater in 1981 and this had moved in its place. Pretty good actioner and Rutgar Hauer is scary as the amoral terrorist. Watched it again last night and it sort of hits a little too close to home these days with attacks in London and NYC.
Lots of genre turns by many of the actors here...Sylvester Stallone (DEATH RACE 2000), Billy Dee Williams (EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, RETURN OF THE JEDI), Lindsay Wagner (THE BIONIC WOMAN), Nigel Davenport (PHASE FOUR, NO BLADE OF GRASS, DRACULA-Jack Palance version), Joe Spinnel (MANIAC), Rutgar Hauer (THE HITCHER, BLADE RUNNER, LADYHAWKE), Catherine Mary Stewart (NIGHT OF THE COMET, THE LAST STARFIGHTER-believe this is her first film and she is beautiful) and Jamie Gillis (NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES and many porno films from the mid 70's-turn of the century where he seemed to always play the most degenerate of types). ***1/2

I'll second that::sad::::sad::...one of my favorite directors. Really nice when wife and I met him at HORRORFIND Spring 2008...really just an old Hippie, talking about "...the Fuzz, Man!"-indeed, ALL the Romero people we've encountered at Conventions were really cool, although Savini was kind of a dick the first time we met him.

KNIGHTRIDERS (1981). After the big Box office of DAWN OF THE DEAD, George made this unusual Rennaisance Faire film that includes a family camp and Motorcycle jousting. He intended this to be more of his personal views and heard he was quite crushed when it flopped, although CREPSHOW brought back large returns and this found more of an audience via cable/rentals.
While I quite like this, it's really too long and quite pretentious in spots, but the stunt work is great and neat seeing many familiar names in the cast/crew. ****

I've heard from more than one person that Savini is an asshole.

I've seen Savini at several cons and I've seen him be both wonderful AND shitty depending on the con and the particular fans. Once he wouldn't even look up to sign autographs, but then a month later at a smaller event he was very engaged with the crowd.
Good and bad days I guess. I did have a great conversation with him about Maniac many years ago, and he seemed genuinely excited by my love for his work in that one.
I will say this much for sure, if you are a blonde, busty woman, you will have his undivided attention. I am not blonde or busty. Nor am I a woman ( Ya hear that, Sculpterino! 😂), so I suppose the convo I had with him will suffice.

The Prowler -

I finally saw this movie and it's pretty good. It reminded me of a harsher Friday the 13th at times. The kills went a bit further than in Friday the 13th. They were meaner and more graphic. The effects were very good and when I saw Tom Savini was credited for the effects I wasn't surprised. Also, I looked up the director and he also directed a Friday the 13th entry. The mean nature of the movie means it wouldn't be that much fun for me to watch again though. I thought the lead actress was cool though and wish she was in a Friday the 13th movie.

The Hand (1981) --- Oliver Stone
The comic book writer and cartoonist Jonathan "Jon" Lansdale is the creator of the successful hero "Mandro" and lives with his wife Anne Lansdale and their daughter Lizzie in the countryside. Anne wants to move to New York and has an argument with Jon while driving on the road. She distracts with an impatient driver and has a car accident with a truck where Jon loses his right hand. The hand is not found and Jon needs to use prosthesis. They move to New York and his editor Karen Wagner offers another cartoonist to proceed with "Mandro". However Jon is not happy with the modifications introduced in his character by the new cartoonist and Karen let him go. Without money, Jon moves to California to teach in a college while Anne and Lizzie stay in New York for a few more months. Jon has a love affair with his student Stella Roche and he feels attracted by her. However when his colleague Brian Ferguson tells that Stella is an easy woman, Jon does not want to see her. However, his severed hand kills Stella and when Brian tells that he is going to the police to report that Stella is missing, his hand also kills him. Meanwhile Anne and Lizzie come to his house to spend Christmas with him. Soon he learns that Anne is betraying him and that she intends to go to Los Angeles with Lizzie. Out of the blue, his hand tries to strangle Anne and Jon follows it. Is it possible that the hand does exist to kill whoever anger him?

I still haven't seen Cannibal Holocaust. But it's just the kills are I guess more realistic and harsh. It's like when I talked either here or on HorrorDVDs about that sleeping bad death in the Friday the 13th remake. That's a death scene that would be fitting for The Prowler because Jason is supposed to kill quick. Boom and you're usually dead. In The Prowler the kills are drawn out more in both the beginning and ending. And the killer is mean in his treatment of the girls.

Angel Heart (1987)
6.5/10

I choose between Angel Heart and Wild at Heart, two films I would interchange in confusion, because I hadn't seen either. I don't know if I picked the right one to see. I'll let you know after I see Wild at Heart. ::big grin::

Angel Heart was disappointing because the big reveal at the end had no resonance with me. Obviously, to avoid any spoilers, I won't get specific here. There was no consequence to the reveal because, although Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke) seemed like a nice chap, he merely discovered who he was and what he did. I certainly wasn't invested enough in who he was to care to find out. And after it was all said and done, the reveal would not be affecting anyone else in the film (and there's really no one to care about besides Harry), nor the world for that matter, and thus there was no consequence.

The road to the reveal was interesting and mysterious, and well shot... some scenes were intriguing, and many others not so much. Also, the reveal isn't really surprising by the last quarter of the film, which is fine... but again, besides not knowing why anyone would even care about the outcome, it's really quite a ridiculous premise.
