Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

[mothermold]

Birth
Proteus
Wolf Creek

[bloodrayne]

Cold Creek Manor...Not too bad...But, not really 'horror'...More like 'Asshole that kills people when he gets pissed off'

The Devil's Backbone...Really good ghost story...I liked it a lot, even though I had to read it...

[Yeti.13]

Meet the Feebles.
Sleazy version of the muppet show, it's not great but it is entertaining.

[Abominus]

I watched Slither last night and loved it

[bwind22]

King Kong

Alot better than what I thought it'd be. Well acted & directed, good mix of comedy & action and quite a bit more violence than I was expecting out of such a high budget PG-13. Surprisingly, the length didn't bother me all that much as the movie flowed pretty well the whole time without dragging too much.

B+



The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

Well, I was pretty unfamiliar with this story so I had no real expectations going in to this film. I ended up really liking it. I found it very entertaining and pretty well acted throughout. There was a lot of CGI, all of which is noticeably CGI, but it didn't seem to bother me much. All in all a really good movie, especially for younger kids or family movie night or something.

B+

oh my god ... i thought that was one of the worst movies i'd ever seen ..

the snake scene had me laughing my ass off ..

Dennis Quaid must owe someone a lot of money to allow himself to have been discraced onscreen like that..

and his drunk scene ? jesus christ he looked like Steve Martin at the end of 'The Jerk'

[hellfire1]

just finished watching "made". it's unbelievable how you like vince vaughn's character because he's such a loyal friend, but at the same time, all you want to do is bash his head in for being such a pain in the ass. hehe

edited cuz i'm a typo freak.

very sweet ending (sweet in the old sense.. not the Cartman sense)

yeah ,. you pretty much wanted to kill vaughn all through that one .. but he's funny :)

[urgeok]

oh .. its worth watching ..

its one of the few movies in the last 20 years that falls into the 'its so bad it's good' category


there used to be more of those back in the day - before video...

now there are mostly 'its so bad it's bad' films


but Cold Creek Manor ..

its a rarity ... there should be drinking games invented for it.

My favorite part is the motorcycle secen and Vince complaining afterwards.

Good movie- very good...but it doesn't even TOUCH Swingers.

[hellfire1]

"Fucking embarrassing - gotta ride around town on a motorcycle with a guy who doesnt have a fucking shirt on."

love that part. he did really look like the guy's bitch, too. hehe it was funny, but nowhere as hilarious as swingers, fo' sho.

up next : dodgeball with the commentary. i feel like watching some more vince.

The Cat O'Nine Tails.

Great movie,but ever since that episode of Family Guy with Peter and Carl Muldon doing cocain I've never veiwed this movie the same way again....dumb I know.

[joshaube]

"Fun with Dick and Jane (2005)- 0/5"
Really?? I honestly thought it was one of the better comedies to come out recently. The whole Sonny and Cher stick 'em up was bloody hillarious.

Long weekend = marathon.
House of the Dead
Return of the Living Dead
Audition
A Tale of Two Sisters
Calvaire
Night/Day Watch (both)
Basic Instinct

Not really sure yet, those are the films I have on my backburner so far.

Holy CRAP this movie made me laugh so hard I almost ran out of air! The scene when EVERYTHING is laughing at him, including the furniture, i fell off the bed!

Made is great. I hold it in just about the same extremely high regard as Swingers. Both just really solid, funny ass movies & Vince steals the show in both of em...

Oh dear, oh dear....What a dodgy film. Good for a laugh though.

[The_Return]

The Monster Walks (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0023236/)


I normally love these cheesy old "haunted house" flicks, but this has got to be one of the worst. Actors in films like this are never good, but I dont think Ive even seen it this bad. On top of that, most of the lines are completly laughable. This was in fact the first "talkie" that the writer ever made, and good Lord it shows. As obvious as it was, I think the ending was the film's high point. The maniac's expression on Mischa Auer's face was very, very convincing. Overall though, this is one bad film.

4/10

PS - On an interesting and unrelated side note, one of the paintings that can be seen briefly in one scene is hanging on a wall in my house. I thought that was very cool to see.

Monster from a Prehistoric Planet (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061550/)

The old Godzilla movies are by no means a great example of cinema, and this late-60's ripoff is even worse. The story is tired and overused, about a group of scientists and reporters that bring a baby monster back to Japan, and the parents arrive to wreak havoc. Perhaps a subtitled version may have been better, but the dubbing on this version was hilarious. Some of the lines, especially those by "the Publisher" were completly off-track from the facial expressions, which provided plenty of laughs. The monsters looked typical for the era, which is a kinder way of saying that they looked awful. The inevitable destruction of Tokyo seemed to drag on forever, to the point where I found myself fast forwarding through it. Bottom line...avoid it.

3/10

Found part 4 to be not as good part 3..but a hell of alot better than those dreadful sequels to come afterwards *cough* Dream Child & Freddy's dead *cough*

But I'd give part 4 a 5.5/10 ;)

[Bunman]

The only reason I put it on is because on the dvd I have there is 2 music videos and one of them has Freddy rapping with these fat black guys - Its hilarious! I ended up just watching the film after.

I totally agree with you though - Number 3 is alot better than this one. The just go down hill after that. If they ever made another Nightmare film then they need to take out the over the top joking that freddy does and concerntrate on the actual horror...like the first one.

Freddy just isn't scary - He is like the comedian of movie killers.

Thats what I like about him. The plot of the series is pretty absurd to begin with, and his comedy just fits so well.

[Bunman]

True, but I would like to see him being abit more scary again. Don't get me wrong, I do like freddy but I'd like to see him cut down on the jokes and get back to basics.

Super Size Me (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390521/)


I don't eat very much fast food to begin with, but this didn't exactly make me want to go out and grab a Big Mac. Though I do think Spurlock exaggerated a bit near the first, he did have some very strong points. Some of the scenes were pretty disturbing, more-so than any horror movie you can find. Though hilarious in parts, he certainly knows how to get his point across through comedy. The animated sequences were especially effective. I don't agree with the scene where he showed the bypass surgery though...seemed like it was there simply for the shock value. Overall though, this was a great documentary, and I'm truly surprised that it didn't have a bigger effect on the fast food industry.

Pit and the Pendulum [1964] (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055304/)


When you hear discussion about the best horror films of all time, certain titles come up more than others. The Exorcist, Psycho, The Shining, ect. Why this film is not mentioned among them is beyond my comprehention. Vincent Price gives what I would consider the greatest performance of his long and distinguished career. The expression in his amazing voice, the look in his eyes, the sudden reversal of character near the end of the film...only a true genius such as Price could pull it off. Roger Corman does an equally amazing job behind the camera, capturing the essence of the cursed castle perfectly. Rarely will you see atmosphere created so flawlessly, however atmosphere is Corman's gift and he uses it to it's full advantage here. He spins a yarn of deciet, murder, insanity and death into one of the few perfect horror films.

There were some great moments for sure. Its a pretty solid series but Beyond Re-Aminator just lacked a little something compared to the other two flicks... still a enjoyable watch.
Mr Combs was awesome as usual and the film still had the dark sense of humour I enjoyed in the other films.

Wolf Creek

Real nice Aussie flick with a raw TCM sort of a feel to it. The acting was fine but the thicker Australian accents can be tough to understand without the subtitles on. The violence looked raw and real some of the shit that happens is downright brutal! It's supposedly based on a true story but we all know how much that means and being that it's Australian, I have no idea what the real story is. Anyways, this "true story" followed a fairly straightforward horror plot (Teens stranded in middle of nowhere & terrorized) but had a couple nice touches of their own as well. All in all, I thought the gore was great, the acting and direction were also good and the overall scare value of this film is higher than most in the genre in terms of keeping you on edge. (Like High Tension sorta in that respect...)

Anyways, all in all I really liked it. There's some crazy Aussies out there!

The recent thread put this in my head...so I just watched:

Eraserhead (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074486/)


Have you ever had the kind of nightmare where nothing particularly scary happens, yet for some reason you're still terrified? The kind of nightmare where nothing seems to make sence, yet in a strange kind of way it almost does? David Lynch has obviously had that kind of nightmare, and he has captured it in this truely surreal and strange film. Though seldom used, there are some very good special effects in the film, the "baby" being the most obvious and most disturbing. The directing by Mr. Lynch is truely amazing: the stark black and white, the dismal look of the city, and on top of all that, he brought out some amazing performances from the cast. Nance was great in the lead; he almost made you feel sorry for him, but not quite. Which I think was Lynch's purpose. Underneath all the beautiful and bizarre images however, Lynch hides messages that are still imporant in todays culture. He touches on topics like fatherhood, suicide, adultery, not to mention the overall state of the world. This is a great film, though I think it must be watched atleast twice for the full effect.

9/10

It was made a while back and fought for a distribution company to pick it up. Mid last year (2005) it was put in theatres by someone... not sure which company it was now. Anyways, if you watch TV at all you might have recalled a few TV spots which were shown pretty frequently.

Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104409/)

*Spoilers*


Anthony Hickox's father, Douglas Hickox, directed one of my all-time favourite horror films, Theatre of Blood. When I saw the Hickox name appear in the opening credits, I thought maybe, just maybe, greatness could run in the family. Put simply: It doesn't. The two Hellraiser films up to this point were both very well done, different horror films. This, on the other hand, was likely made simply to cash in on Pinhead's icon status, and turn him in to another Freddy Krueger. Though it did start out pretty good, the more it told us the worse it got. The killing blow was when Capt. Spencer called Joey over to "his world". Made an already cheesy movie even worse, flashback and all. Shortly after that, they decide to break their own rules by killing a ton of innocent people. Make sense to you? Me neither. The new Cenobites were awful, especially the CD dude. They were definitely scraping the bottom of the barrel for that one. The film's two redeeming qualities were the incredible gore effects, and Doug Bradley. No matter how pointless and cheesy his character gets, this guy always puts on a good performance. As far as this series goes, stick with the first two.

Very cool Mario Bava ghost/possession flick, some really errie moments made this a great watch. I recomend it.


April Fool's Day:

I've always liked this film because it was a different spin on the slasher flick. I hadn't seen it in years and thought it was pretty cool with likable characters. Not nearly enough gore for my taste in slashers these days tho.

Abominable Dr Phibes:

Great stuff, my favorite Vincent Price film. Its got a bizarreness to it that makes it a really cool flick. This was one of the first horror films I ever saw as a kid and it was good paying it another visit after so long.

Trail of the Pink Panther (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084814/)

*Very Minor Spoilers. Nothing that you wouldn't read on the back of the box though*

After hearing the story behind this film, I was truly expecting an awful movie. Though it is by no means amazing and is easily the worst of the Sellers Panther movies, it wasn't all that bad. The opening, filled with archive footage of Sellers, was classic Pink Panther comedy, and had me rolling in my seat. The burning office was definitely a highlight. Once Clouseau's plane disappeared, however...so did most of the humour of this movie. The interviews were flat and boring, the plot was completely dropped, and nothing seemed to have a point. The clips from older Pink Panther films were usually hilarious, but nothing a Panther fan such as myself hasn't seen before. The only redeeming part of this section of the film was the scene with Clouseau's father. Though not nearly as funny as most anything in the other movies, Nana the dog was pretty amusing. Overall, stick with the other Sellers movies, you wont regret it. If you do watch it, be sure to stick around during the credits for a hilarious assortment of clips from through the series.

First of all please do not bitch about this one. They've receently made the eighth one.Something about a computer. And second that is all they do is use Pinheads name to sell shit. The eighth one just had his name attachedto sell it. The screenplay had already been writen for awhile before Pinhead got into it.

Also the last movie for me was Night Watch. Excellent. Reminded me of Underworld.

I find the concept of this series pretty interesting, so Im trying to watch them in order. It's my own opinion if I think this one sucked. Sure, maybe it's better than some later films in the series, I wouldnt know, but that doesnt change the fact that I didnt think it was very good.

This would be considred by many as a TV show, however I did not see it on TV, so I consider it more of a short film.


Masters of Horror: Cigarette Burns (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0643109/)


John Carpenter has still got it. This was a very creepy, atmospheric short film that I enjoyed alot. For the most part the actrs are great, however the leading man left alot to be desired. Reminded me a bit of Mark LaCour from Dark Heritage, and incase you might not be familiar with that film, thats far from a compliment. Otherwise the cast was great, I especially like Udo Kier, he added an almost comic sence of malice to his scenes. The "Willowy Being" as it was credited was also very good. The gore and effects were phenominal; the back of the aforementioned "Willowy Being" looked great, as did the rest of the gore in this surprisingly violent film. I wont spoil the plot, but I thought it was very interesting, and moved at a nice pace. The hour long time-slot definatly worked to it's advantage. Had a very good ending as well, and thankfully left a few questions unanswered. Lastly, Im very glad Carpenter didn't show us very much of "La Fin Absolue Du Monde", I think showing it would have severly detracteed from the film. Overall, I highly recomend this.

As said before, to me these are more short film than they are TV episodes...


Masters of Horror: Dreams in the Witch House (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0643104/)


Though I have to hope Lovecraft has some better stories out there, Stuart Gordon did a great job adapting this one. Though it certainly pales in comparison to Re-Animator or Dagon, his knack for capturing Lovecraft's style of "cosmic horror" shines once again. Ezra Godden, star of Gordons's Dagon, returns as yet another ill-fated Miskatonic student. Id really like to see this guy in some more movies, he was great in both this and Dagon, though the characters are admittedly quite similar. I wont spoil the ending for you, but the final scene involving Ezra's character is very, very cool, and not just any actor could pull it off as well as he. The supporting cast is also very good; the hotel manager reminded me a lot of the same character from Basket Case. Though we could have done without her nude scene, Chelah Horsdal was very convincing. The plot left a bit to be desired, but I guess thats just because I'm not a big fan of movies about witches in general. The ending was very surprising, but no worries I'm not going to ruin it for you. I recommend checking this out for yourself...not as good as Carpenter's Cigarette Burns that it comes packaged with, but it's close.

The Gorilla (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031387/)


Though the Ritz brothers are no Three Stooges, I'll be damned if they didn't make this one fun movie. Here they play 3 inept detectives hired to solve the Gorilla murders. The plot is pretty basic fare for these "old dark house" style mysteries, but it was done better than most in the way that it didn't make it's culprit too obvious. Most of the cast is hilarious, not just the Ritz Brothers. Patsy Kelly, who plays the maid, is great fun in that "spunky 30's woman" kind of way. Bela Lugosi is also great as the ever suspicious butler. It does have some downfalls, mostly the non-comedic cast who couldn't act their way out of a paper bag. All in all, this is a goofball mystery that comes recommended by me.

A Shriek in the Night (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024554/)


With someone like Ginger Rogers involved, you'd be expecting a pretty good show, right? Well, I guess this one wasn't horrible, but I was certainly expecting more. It has your basic mystery plot: A man falls to his death under mysterious circumstances. Was it murder? Rogers plays the typical female reporter that is mandatory for this kind of show, and she's no better than anyone else who has played the same role. The detectives were a bit disappointing, usually detectives in this kind of film are pretty interesting characters, but here they mostly fall flat. One of them has a couple good lines near the first, but thats about it. Lyle Talbot's character makes up for it a bit though, I thought he was pretty cool and provided a few good chuckles. Overall, you can find a lot better films in this vein.

Scary Movie 4- 2.5/5

This series is really falling below the radar. They're starting to spoof non-horror movies and the pop culture spoofs come into play way too much. Hell, I feel that I'm being generous and nice just to give SM4 2 and a half stars out of 5. I feel that the most it should get is a two. But, I was/am nice enough to give it the slight 2.5/5. That's not much positivitey towards the film, but it's still being nice. I'll admit that I laughed my ass off at the Saw spoofs (especially in the beginning when Dr. Phil is insulting himself).

Empire Records- 1/5

Lame-brain rip-off of Clerks, and not in a good way, obviously. I didn't find mostly any humor whatsoever in here. I might've chuckled a few times and might have had a slight (and I mean slight) smile on my face, but that's about it. Just leave this one down at the bottom of the cheapie bin.

Blankman- 2.5/5

My problem with Blankman was that it was smart and dumb at the same time. It was smart because Damon Wayans played Daryll, who was a nerdy scientist who was, of course, smart. It was dumb because the whole plot and Blankman character was dumb. This didn't mix too well for me. I would've given this one a three if they fixed there altercations between smart and dumb. I guess I'll have to wait just a little bit longer to get out of my bad-movie slump.

BTW- I did watch Anchorman twice and The 40-Year-Old Virgin since I'm in such a slump, but I'm not going to say they broke up the slump.

[The_Return]

Tormented (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054393/)


Though poorly executed at times, this is a very cool ghost story. It centers around Tom Stewart, a jazz pianist who breaks up with his mistress, Vi, only days before his wedding to another woman. Vi falls off a lighthouse, and though Tom could save her, he decides not to. Her last words were something to the effect of "If I cant have you, nobody can!". Does she live up to her promise? Or is it all in Tom's guilt-ridden head? The acting and effects are above average for this kind of film, though they still arent all that great. Richard Carlson is great as the "Tormented" leading man, and Juli Reding does a good job as his dead lover, but the rest of the cast leaves something to be desired. The scenes when she apears all looked very good, much better than similar effects from that time. The rest of the effects, such as her disembodied head, looked pretty bad. As mentioned, the plot is the high point of the film. Tom grows more guilty and less sane by the minute, and Carlson handles it very well. Im sure audiences were surprised by the ending 40 some years ago when this was released, but todays audiences could see it coming a mile away. That isnt to say that it's not a cool ending, but very predictable. The score, partially stolen from the original House on Haunted Hill, works nicely throughout. Overall, I say check this out if you're into old-school haunting movies.

Swamp Women (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048682/)


Six years before directing his masterpiece, Pit and the Pendulm, Roger Corman made his directorial debut with a decent little crime flick called Swamp Women. It's about a group of women who break out of jail to search for their hidden diamonds, though the woman that broke them out is an undercover cop. The acting varies, at times they're pretty good and others not so much. They did make you care to some extent about the characters; I know at the very least I didn't want them to get caught. The story was interesting enough, but the ending was really disappointing. The frequent catfights were pretty funny, I must admit. All in all, this is pretty good for what it is.

This one has been collecting dust in my horror movie collection for awhile now. I felt it was the right time to bring it out of it's shell. Well, that wasn't such a smart choice. It wasn't totally bad, and did have some blood and guts to spare, but the acting was bad. And I mean bad as in worse than most direct-to-video movies. It wasn't a total waste of $5.00, but still wasn't worth it. My movie slump continues. Damn!

The Bird With The crystal Plumage:

Quite a good little film, one of Argento's earlier films and you can tell. No strong coloured lights, no over the top fancy camera work and one of the most straight forward plots.
No particular blood and absolutly no gore but I would still recommend this anyone, if not just to laugh at MR "So long"

Not really sure what to say about this one, aside from I didn't like it much. The actors were all fine, there were a few laughs here and there. The ending wasn't too bad, but I suppose after the mess of a plot that came before it, that's not a huge feat. Half the time you have no idea what's going on, and by the time you might have a clue, you don't care anymore. This plods along at a pace most snails would be ashamed of, and I found myself fighting to stay awake the whole time. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a slow-paced movie, so long as it keeps your attention. This doesn't. Overall, is this a good movie? No, not really. Could it cure insomnia? I wouldn't be surprised.

Doomed to Die (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032404/)


As far as mystery B-movies go, you cant go "Wong" with this one. Karloff returns once again as the famous Chinese detective James Lee Wong to solve the murder of a shipping tycoon. What seems like an open and shut case to Capt. Street (Grant Withers) quickly becomes a web of deceit, lies and murder! I've only seen two Wong films, this and "The Fatal Hour", but I really enjoyed them both, largely due to Capt. Street and his "sidekick" reporter Bobbie Logan. The banter between them is cliché, but often pretty funny anyway. They have great chemistry together on screen. Karloff is, of course, great as Wong. I loved his entrances from the most unlikely places, such as windows or fire escapes. The plot was pretty straight forward, though it was full of red-herrings and false suspects that made the conclusion a bit hard to guess. Not that that's a bad thing mind you, I quite enjoyed the ending. To sum up, I recommend this as well as the slightly better "Fatal Hour" as two of the best mystery B-movies you'll find out there.

The Amazing Mr. X (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040829/)


What a cool movie. So much more than your typical B horror flick, loved every second of this one. The plot would be very easily spoiled, so I wont go into that, suffice to say it's very interesting and well-done. On top of that, the ending is great. Turhan Bey was great in the lead role, I'm definitely going to track down some more of his films. He commands the screen, makes each scene his own. Great presence, put simply. The rest of the cast is good enough as well, though they pale by comparison to Mr. Bey. The score is beautifully haunting, and sets the scene perfectly throughout the film. I highly recommend this movie.

Blood was great, movie sucked.

Wolf Creek (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416315/)


*HUGE SPOILERS, PLEASE STOP READING IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THIS YET!!*

I'll admit that I had pretty high expectations for this one, and surprisingly enough it didn't let me down at all. Even better than I was expecting to be honest. Though the plot was the classic slasher plot about a car breaking down in the middle of nowhere, there were some very surprising twists and turns. McLean took the typical formula for these flicks and followed it for awhile to lure the viewer into a false sense of security, meaning making us think we know what's about to happen. Then he takes the formula, drops it on the ground, and proceeds to mercilessly pound the crap out of it. For example, it's not very often in this kind of film to see the main girl turned into "a head on a stick" so close to the end. That death was pretty cool, by the way, and totally unexpected. The actors were all very believable, I like how we had half to movie to get to know them before the carnage began. As for John Jaratt...Id rather see a character like Mick over another Myers clone any day. Totally insane, but still believable and well-acted. The really liked the tiered ending...how just when you though one of them was getting away BANG there's Mick. The crucifixion of Ben, as well as his eventual escape, was a harrowing, brutal, and all-around great scene. Overall, this was a great horror flick. Though it certainly owes a lot to Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I really enjoyed it.

i don't remember, but we don't actually "see" it do we ? if so, then i must've watched a completely different version altogether.

[persuasian70]

I just saw Hostel tonight. It is very gory and has lots of T & A. I really enjoyed it. It even has a cameo by a very famous Japanese Horror master. I can see the influence he had on this director. If you like gore and suspense, then check it out.

Fun with Dick & Jane
I thought it was an entertaining comedy, definitely worth seeing.

Hostel
I was so excited... I think I set my expectations a bit high. I wanted to be disturbed and have to turn away, but I just didn't get that. I still loved the movie though... I look forward to Hostel 2, but hope there's a few less breasts.

We got to see most of it in the version I saw...he attacked her from behind in the car, started explaining about the "head on a stick", we see him stab her again and run the knife up he spine. Then she just falls over and stares straight into the eyes of her killer...

Scary Movie 4

Not good...

All the good stuff is in the commercials and trailers...Doctor Phil/Shaq Saw, Tom Cruise on Oprah...other than that there isn't many good things to say about the latest and by far worst of the series.

The biggest problem I had was that most of the jokes went on far too long and were overdone, also in my opinion there were too many jokes where someone hit their head on something or was hit by having something thrown at them. There are more laughs than the ones I mentioned but they're few and far between. There's one scene in particular that was so ridiculously bad I probably would've walked out if I hadn't been with friends.

Out of a 10 I'll go ahead and give it a 4 and if you wanna see 2 of those points worth just go and watch the trailers. Having said all that, I think it could fall into the 'So bad it's funny' category for some. So if you've got the 8 bucks and 90 minutes or so to spare, use the experience on another film and wait a couple months to rent this one.

[Yasashii]

^ Thanks for the tip/review. It does look like it'd have lots of throw-stuff-at-people jokes...=/ damn I wish my assumption wasn't correct. :mad:

Anyways, last movie seen,

"Infection" it's a foreign one about these doctors who make a mistake during malpractice on a patient and the patient dies so they hide the body, and the next night this woman comes to the hospital late at night with strange symptoms, and after she dies, one by one of the doctors are getting the same symptoms.

Is it any good though:confused:

[bwind22]

Hostel

This was alright but I couldn't shake the fact that it seemed like a Saw ripoff. The acting was fine and the gore was pretty gruesome but the first half of the movie was basically unneccesary. It doesn't take 40 minutes to show that these are 3 horny teens backpacking across Europe.

It was pretty good, but I didn't find it to be a classic or anything...

B-





28 Days Later

I've always liked the artistry in this film. The scene when he walks out of the hospital and London is silent still is one of my favorites shots. It's a cool fresh take on the zombie genre, but it could have used some more gore. Most of it was either alluded to, distant or just off screen, but the actings good. All in all I enjoyed it.

So far so good...


Last Woman on Earth (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054017/)


Ive been working my way through the "50 Horror Classics" boxset for quite some time. I decided to start with Last Man on Earth as soon as I got the box, then finish with Last Woman on Earth once Id watched to other 49. Today was the end of that era, I finally watched Last Woman on Earth, and though it wasnt amazing or anything, it was still worth the wait. The actors dont give the best performances, but they definatly have their moments. Even though he is portrayed as the "bad guy", I really liked and felt sorry for Antony Carbone's character. Robert Towne didnt write the greatest script for this, but his character was pretty well acted. As for the "last woman" herself, she was beautiful and farly talented. The plot was nothing new and drug in places, but it held my interest for the most part. Despite popular opinion, I really liked the ending, one of the highlights of the film. All in all I recomend checking this out. Not alot of action, but it's usually interesting.

7/10

[The_Return]

Amazing, I actually got through both films I planned to watch tonight...


Stay (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371257/)


I guess this was a decent enough film, but it was far from perfect. It was very well acted, especially on Gosling's part. He almost reminded me of Jake Gyllenhaal in Donnie Darko. MacGreggor was pretty good as well, but not nearly as good as he has been in the past. The plot was OK, I guess, but the director ruined any surprises it may have had in store. To avoid spoilers I'll just say this: Some very obvious and intrusive symbolism, as well as the way the camera showed certain people/objects, revealed much of the outcome long before it should have. For that reason I was pretty disappointed with the ending, though there were some great visuals. Last but not least, I wish that they would have focused more on MacGreggor's character near the end. We see a lot of him, but I wish they could have gone more into what he was thinking and feeling. To sum up, I guess this one's worth renting, but I wouldn't spend too much on it.

5.5/10

[Yellow Jacket]

Hostel- 5/5

FINALLY!!! I'M OUT OF MY MOVIE SLUMP!!! God, do I feel good! Hostel finally broke my slump, and did way much more than that. It caught my attention from the beginning, grabbing me tightly by the balls and not letting go until the end credits! And that's a compliment! I expected Hostel to be good, but not 5 star good. Man, was I proved wrong! With some nice gory delight and Eli Roth's best so far, Hostel has it all and more! I loved it!

Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis- 3/5

Now, I have never seen the original Return of the Living Dead. Nor did I see any of the sequels (until now, of course). Yes, I know. It's sad. But this shit happens sometimes. That's a part of the movie life that I live in. I've still got some classics I need to watch for the first time. But, as for tonight, I watched a low-budget sequel. And a pretty entertaining one to say the least. Necropolis did have a gym bag full of bad flaws. Such as the tronixide (I think that's what it was called) turning the humans (and animals) into zombies was dumb. A lot of the backstory (which I will not give away) was dumb as hell, and the ending was too comical to be mentioned (though I just did). But, I couldn't help but enjoy myself watching a bunch of dumb teens shooting the holy hell out of some brain-craved zombies. Oh, and of course, watching some teens get their bloody death. And speaking of blood, there was enough here to boot to make any bloodhound like me happy. Overall, Necropolis was enjoyable at most.

[The STE]

Eraserhead
Ok, it didn't help that I was pretty tired when I started watching this movie. Ok, "pretty tired" doesn't cover it, I was exhausted. But I was excited about finally seeing this movie. Unfortunately, tiredness outweighed the excitement, and I had to stop the movie most of the way through to have a quick (2 or 3 hour) nap. Here's how out of it I was: With the DVD player screensaver still on, I half-way woke up 40 minutes after I stopped the movie and sat up waiting for something to happen, because I'd forgotten I stopped the movie. Normally, that would be a criticism of the movie for being boring, but in this case it's my own dumb fault for watching the movie when I should've been sleeping. But even through all that, the movie was cool and messed up in all the right ways.
4/5

[Abominus]

Yellow Jacket 3/5 for Necropolis? Your're on your own there. However I'm righ with you on Hostel. So we just happened to watch the same movies at the same time. No point, I'm just saying is all.

I have the 50 Classics boxset too and I'm currently working my way through it. I decided to start with the oldest films and work forward to the most modern. Kinda like my own personal evolution of the classic horror film kinda study or somethin. Anyways between my Netflix and planning a wedding Ive been pretty busy so I've only gotten through about the first 6 or 7 films on there so far. (Pretty much all the silent ones + White Zombie)

My favorite silent film was Hunchback. I thought it was hilarious. I cant wait until I have time to get to the rest of them though. I've seen a few that I know are good (Last Man on Earth, NotLD) but the rest I am eager to get to.

Once I do, my mini reviews will be posted here. (But if you have interest in reading any of the mini reviews I already wrote for the ones I watched, click the link in my sig.)

[cheebacheeba]

Austin...I personally think the first scary movie was the only one I'm remotely consider watching again. The follow-up sequels have sucked so far (haven't seen 4 myself), as did "date movie".

I started watching Neil Geimens "MirrorMask"...tripped out...thus far I'd reccomend it, visually very strange...

Bay of Blood

Bava put together a pretty good slasher here. Decent amount of kills, some of which are almost identically used in other horror films (I'm lookin' at you Jason). What really grabbed me was the sound, I loved the music in this film. Good stuff, worth a watch or two.

I've seen all these except wolf creek and 28 days, looking forward to both though.

I think... yes, Scream 2 might actually tie scream 1 with me..... don't ask why, maybe it's because of the setting was better, and had a great suspense scene.

28 Days Later- Boring, never caught my interest, besides the first 15-20 minutes, which were atmosphereically cool. 5/10

Halloween 4- Not as good as Halloween 1 or 2, which get perfect 10s in my book. Very different, too. More of a thriller than a slasher, as it's kind of told from the cops perspective and whatnot. Still enjoyable, though. 7/10

Evil Dead 2- The perfect example of how to mix horror with comedy. A perfect movie. 10/10

Wolf Creek- As a slasher, OK. Atmospherically, pretty damn good. The acting is superb for a horror movie, too.

Scream 2- My least favorite out of the Scream trilogy, easily. Didn't have the right feel for me. 7.5/10

I think it's because I watched so many bad movies in the past week (and not the good kind), so I think this one got off easy.

[The_Return]

Fallen (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119099/)


Picture this: Take John Carpenter's "The Thing", set it in the big city, change the alien to a demon and turn MacReedy into a cop. Now make the characters less interesting and remove all the gore and most of the suspense. If you can picture all that, you'd be picturing Fallen. Denzel Washington plays his typical cop role, which by this point he has completely mastered and does a great job at it. The plot was pretty interesting, though derivative of more than just The Thing. Kept my attention though, despite moving very slowly in the middle. Aside from Washington's character, nobody has any depth to them. Though well acted, I wish they would have got more into Donald Sutherland's character, in my opinion that was a waste of a good performance. The ending is great, I like how it made you think there wouldn't be a twist right up until it was revealed. All in all this film has it's flaws, but was definitely worth the $7 I paid for it.

6.5/10

[alkytrio666]

Blade Runner- Picked this one up in the $5.50 bin at Wal-Mart quite awhile ago. Good buy, I liked it a lot.
**SPOILERS!**
Can anyone explain to me the ending? I think I got out of it that Deckard is an android, and that now that guy who leaves paper animals everywhere is hunting him. Is that it?


Abbott and Costello In Society- Yet another great, relaxing and hilarious film by the two most comic geniouses of all time.

[Posher778]

Scream 2


9/10


*somewhat spoilers*


This movie has some serious suspense at a few parts, and one scene amazes me how nedge of my seat it was, even though I had seen it before. Meaning, the scene in the car, with the 2 detectives and sidney, and her friend. Where sidney has to climb over him to get out of the car. Plus, this movie makes me jump a few times, such as Sarah michelle gellars scene, where he's behind the door. Also, nice gore for a mainly "stabbing" slasher, meaning, the pipe straight through the detective's head, etc. Another great scene to me was gale and dewey in the filming room, where gale shows how rough she can be and beats the guy up, and the other suspense scene there, where she hides behind the panels to stay hidden.

*end spoiler*

[Elvis_Christ]

Blood and Lace:

Another fine example of 1970s American horror. I really enjoyed this flick nice n' trashy with some decent gore and a cool story. I really like the sleazy undertones of this period of horror. Ranks up there with other favorites of the day Deranged, Motel Hell, and Eaten Alive. If you can track it down check the fucker out it comes with my seal of approval.

Blood Diner:

Blood Feast done 80s style. This movie is really good fun. Definatley a underated classic.

Rock N' Roll High School:

There's no doubt about it this flick kicks ass! This one always makes me smile. Great soundtrack and some really funny moments. Not as cool as the Blues Brothers but really what is....?

Story Of Ricky:

The BEST kung-fu flick ever. A total kickass splatter fest! I fuckin' loved it!

They've been going downhill for sure, but I found the second and third to be enjoyable, I've watched both of 'em more than a couple times each. I was hoping but didn't expect this one to be any different....pretty funny with a wacky but decent way to connect all the storylines of the spoofed films....didn't do it for me on either aspect. Just not a good movie at all imo. I might give the dvd a shot though cause like I said, could fall into the 'so bad it's funny' category. Now that I think about it that's probably where my few laughs came from.


@Posher778- sent the pm you asked about.

[AUSTIN316426808]

ATL


I didn't have high or low expectations because except for Mykelti Williamson(Bubba in Forrest Gump) non of the lead actors nor the director had any real experience. Whether or not that had an impact on how I felt about the movie I don't know, but regardless of that, I liked it alot.

First and foremost, it's ghetto as hell which I didn't have a problem with at all. I thought the acting was good, nobody's getting an oscar nod or being labeled the next De Niro('specially the guy who played Esquire, he's the only one imo that gave a sub-par performance, T.I.'s little brother wasn't exactly stellar either but watchable) but it was good. Big Boi from Outkast was outstanding(in the literal sense of the word), I thought he gave a very convincing performance(has some good comedic lines for a gangster).

Unlike 50 cent, Eminem and 99% of all rappers T.I.'s debut film isn't centered around rap or gangsters. It's a good story about a group of teenage friends in a rough part of town going through everyday Atlanta life and culture, and I thought it was told very well. It's funny, it's sad, the lead actress is hotter than the center of the sun....yada yada yada...Overall I'd say 7.5 outta 10.

[Abominus]

I found Layer Cake dull and without charm. It supposedly shares part of the team that made Snatch and Lock, Stock but is nearly humorless.

The lead character (WTF's his name, the new James Bond) is devoid of any emotion and seems like he's just reading through lines. Maybe it's just me but it's nothing special. It's not awful, it's just there.

I watched Tobe Hooper's Toolbox Murders and the classic Let Sleeping Corpses Lie. I enjoyed both of them and plan on watching LSCL again today.

Didnt you find the ending pretty obvious?

I think it was pretty cheap of them though to point to, as Noctuary put it, "a Fight Club style ending" in many places. When Gosling and MacGreggor are fighting and their positions keep interchanging for example...thats the only thing that threw me off of the ending, it made me thing that it was MacGreggor who was in the crash. Dont get me wrong, I thought the movie was decent, but really obvious ending IMO.

nope - i didnt see it coming at all ... i was too caught up in the movie ... i found it very stylish and compelling.

Ultimate Avengers: The Movie DVD

Actually I liked this a lot!

The only problem I had with it was that it moved way too quickly from point to point--would've been better if it'd been paced just a little slower. There were many sad and thoughtful moments that might have been really profound if the audience had had a little more time to think about them. Otherwise, a very entertaining story.

I really enjoyed Layer Cake,it's packed with top-notch actors,a good script and compelling story.It's most certainly not Snatch or Lock Stock but rather a straight forward drama more akin to Sexy Beast.Daniel Craig is good as the lead(I'm pretty sure this film in particular sealed his new "Bond" title) and Sienna Miller...well she is quite nice to look at.

In my opinion definitely worth the rental fee or the cost of buying it for that matter.

On a bit of a side note:the director(can't remember his name)was the original choice to replace Bryan Singer after he left X-Men 3.

I just found that interesting.

depends on what you mean by poor ..
it still holds up for me because each segment was done artistically - exactly as they were done in the comic magazines ..
thats one of the strong points for me ...

Dial 'M' For Murder

Still probably, in my opinion, Hitchcock's "smartest" film.

Silent Hill;
I'm not going to say how good or bad it was, just these statements. Recut the beginning better. It was way too choppy and didn't flow well. It's as if they had a longer version of the film, and wanted to cut time down so they choose random spots of the longer segments and through them in. It would have been better with her waking up from the car crash, and when she meets Cybil it would flash back to the chase - as if she was remembering. When explaining to Cybil why she's there, it could have then told us about Sharon's sleepwalking. I know the whole "cut down time" thing isn't true, as Sony passed the first cut of the film. So, what we saw is the director's cut, what was fist put together. Anyways, Sean Bean's character served no purpose. He wasn't even in the script originally. His segments in the film just ruined the tense moments as theyh seemed to come directly after one of the mother's "moments". He didn't act well at all in it, either. Though I admit the scenes where they cross each other in the two worlds was very eerie. I also though the whole thing was sort of... confused. It didn't know where it was going. It was sort of encounter, after encounter, with no real direction. Then we learn it's all been a "lead". They should have focused more on that, put a few more puzzles in and get rid of some useless jarble. The flashback film effect scene = GOD, however. And the child actors voice was so haunting. *chills*. I would have also liked a bigger dramatic impact in the last scene. Rather then have them fade out after the girl faints. I wanted to see what happened.

With these changes, and a bit more, I thought it could have secured itself as one of the best horror films this year. It might have enough already to do that - for fans of the game. But with these edits it would have been clearer what was going on, and less confusing. Also, I thought it could have had more of a "OMFG OMFG OMFG WHAT THE SHITHOLE IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT EDGE OF YOUR SEAT THRILL-RIDE!" effect.

What I got out of it was, it was nice to see all the monsters from the game and all the music from the game. It also had some relentlessly amazing kills - ripping people right in half? Or ripping flesh off and throwing innards at a church door? Amazing. But as for overall story, could have been SO much better. SOOO much better.

Oh, and all the new reviews have dropped it down to a 17% rating.
I can see why - critics don't play games - and this movie wasn't anything without it.
The movie's key lied in the naustalgia of the fans, or the eyecandy of seeing it in amazing CGI.

Wolf Creek


I don't know what all you people are complaining about, this movie was fucking amazing. I don't think it took as long as some of you said to get into it, only like 40 minutes, and it wasn't that bad... I think it had amazing build up, amazing gore, acting, plot, story, whatever. The *minor spoilers* terrified girls did an amazing job of... being terrified, especially the scene with kristy in the shed, and liz, when mick told her about putting her head on a stick.... her face was terrified! No ujump outs.... minor drawback for me, but the scene where mick was in the back of the car still scared me, even though i totally knew it was coming after hearing it from some of you guys. I expected a big jump out, but got a "heh heh heh heh" stab. Which was quite scary to me. I didn't like the crucifixion part.... don't know for sure why, it was chilling though. I didn't like the ending, but I guess it was suitable.

8.5/10

I saw a few minutes of a silent film on TV last night, Im not 100% what it was though. Im thinking Der Golem, but Im not positive. The part I saw had a big, stone-like dude throw a woman off a tower. The background was colourized yellow, then changed to red when he threw her. Is this Der Golem?

Evil dead 2

7/10 (some things I just don't like, but it's truly a good movie)
Still think the mass amount of blood from the wall is the best part.

I didn't think it was so bad. Just different.

It was the Scream 2 of the series, not good, but decent.

Plus, I TIE scream 1, 2 , and 3 equal to eachother:)

[bloodrayne]

Hmmm...watched so many in the last few days...Can't remember 'em all...Let's see...


Cursed...I thought it was better than what I heard from most people

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation...Not great, but worth watching (I'd seen it when it first came out, but Dustin had never seen it)...Was never interested in buying it before, but it came in a two-pack with Hostel (which we haven't watched yet)

Garbage Pail Kids...For old times' sake...Still terrible...lol

Leviathan...So-So

The Jacket...I loved this one

Needful Things...FINALLY replaced it...Got it in a boxed set with Carrie, Misery, and The Dark Half, all of which I already own, but just in case they 'disappear' like Needful Things, I got backups...AND, Dustin had never seen Needful Things, so I had to show it to him


Also...Bought Dead And Breakfast, but haven't had a chance to watch it...

Portia De Rossi right? I love her, I really need to go see this!


And alky, I just wonder, why do you think Scream 2 is so bad? Elaborate!

I'm not sure I know who that is. But you'll love this movie, very humorous with good gore.

I actually don't hate Scream, though I think it's the worst of the series. I just never settled down with the atmosphere, so by the end of the movie I never clicked with it. It was decent, pretty good, actually, as far as sequels go- I just didn't like it as much as 1 or 3.

I just like giving you a hard time, mostly. :D

[The_Return]

Unleashed, AKA Danny the Dog (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0342258/)


I really enjoyed this. I was expecting a mindless action flick, but got an incredibly well acted, sad, and powerful film instead. All the actors involved do a great job, especially Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins. Hoskins' character was great; one minute you wanted him dead, the next you almost felt sorry for him. Jet Li didn't really have a lot to do, but WOW were his fight scenes cool! The fight at the first was one heck of a way to start a movie! Be warned however: If you watch this movie just to see Jet Li beating the crap out of people, you'll be disappointed. The majority of the film focuses on the relationships between the characters, which elevated so much higher than your typical action movie. The film's only major fault was the ending. I wont spoil it, but I'll just say it reminded me of a really bad after school special. Overall though, this was a really good movie.

7.5/10

She was in cursed too, that fortune teller. It seems like she always has small roles.

Oh right...I hate psychics in movies. Just a cheap way to get out of explaining the plot IMO.
