Wizard of Gore (Remake)

[illdojo]

Just found out about this one....With Crispin Glover and The Suicide Girls it might be alright. (For a remake)
http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e107/illdojo/WIZARDGOREdvd.jpg
Comes out on DVD Aug. 19th for anyone who cares.

[The Mothman]

I actually was about to post a thread about this, but i forgot. i heard a buzz about it a year or so ago, then nothing, now all of a sudden its almost here.
the original was one of my favorite HG Lewis films, i might check this out.

[neverending]

bloody hell

[The Mothman]

bloody hell

I think its a strange choice for a remake, but not necessarily a bad one.
however the Suicide Girls being in it might be the seal of this films suckage, because I have no idea how it ties into the original. I dont want "The Wizard Of Softcore Porn" I want the Wizard of Gore

[ChronoGrl]

My good God. I feel oddly drawn to this one...

[novakru]

My good God. I feel oddly drawn to this one...

Well, just come sit on over here and get comfy on this couch and let's explore why that is Amanda.... just keep it within 45 minutes please:D

Well, there was this one time at this all-girls sleepover... And then someone said, "Let's have a pillow fight!"...

...

To this day I still don't remember how she lost that eye.

I bet most of the guys saw that going another way.

outside of animal house, has there ever been a topless pillow fight? If the answer is yes, i am willing to bet the people having said fight were "children", or "guys". Not "hot chicks".

[Despare]

I've been waiting to rent this one, I'm digging the Dimension Extreme label and I think Glover is friggin' awesome.

[_____V_____]

Considering how good the man was in Willard's remake, this one is very much worth a shot.

I can see him pull off this role with ease. As long as the director and the script give him ample space.

Did you enjoy Black Sheep as much as I did?

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

Well Crispin Glover is in it, so it's already better than the original.

[The Mothman]

doubt it, have you seen the original?
I'd say its hard to beat.

[ChronoGrl]

Did you enjoy Black Sheep as much as I did?

I loved Black Sheep, though most people that I talked to who had seen it thought it was just ok. I thought it was a clever little film and a good homage to Mr. P. Jackson.

I read an article that Fangoria ran in its last issue and my interest has certainly piqued. Honestly, I haven't seen the original film, but my boyfriend has warned me away from it... I'm hoping with this copious budget of 3-some-odd million $$ will bring some spectacular over-the-top gore. Not to mention, I love the Suicide Girls and Crispin Glover is fantastic.

I just added it to my Netflix queue. US release is Aug 19.

Thank God for YouTube. Just found a trailer:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2TaZzBb3Gc

My GOD does Kip Pardue's acting look abysmal in these clips... Hope he was just caught in off-moments... :-/

Whatever. I still need to see this.

[illdojo]

Well Crispin Glover is in it, so it's already better than the original.

You're such a Crispinaphile. :D

[Elvis_Christ]

I've been looking forward to this one since I heard about it awhile back. I'll be grabbing a copy for sure.

[Disease]

Not only does it have crispin Glover but also Joshua John Miller.....

I gots ta see it!

[urgeok2]

crispin glover is awsome .. but Dimension Extreme is hit and miss ...(like anything else i guess)

DOA is a misfit on this label, and Automaton Transfusion was shit.

i have 5 films on the label so far ..

looking forward to mother of tears and this version of The Wizard of Gore

Yeah, but they have some good things coming up. I really like Diary of the Dead, Teeth, Inside, and Black sheep and they have some good looking up coming releases like Wizard of Gore, Feast 2, and Hell Ride. I'm excited about the possibilities but they could do a better job of picking and choosing. I think the real x-factor with this Wizard of Gore remake is The Suicide Girls, they could really help or really hurt this effort.

Yep....Yep...and Yep.

[pythagoraz]

So "Wizard of Gore" ya say... -I have this on my computer... Is it worth watching?

[neverending]

Hmmm... is it worth replying?

Life is full of so many choices......so put on your "big boy" pants and decide for yourself. :rolleyes:

[pythagoraz]

Ok.. I deleted it... :)

Gonna watch porn instead...

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

I just saw that Jeffrey Combs is in this aswell. Crispin Glover AND Jeffrey Combs! how can this be bad?

[newb]

I just saw that Jeffrey Combs is in this aswell. Crispin Glover AND Jeffrey Combs! how can this be bad?

and Brad Dourif. Jeffrey Combs is almost unrecognizable....just watched this one tonight. Not bad......Glover is in top form but there could have been more of him....story is a bit confusing, some nice gore and boobs aplenty.

[The Mothman]

Ok.. I deleted it... :)

Gonna watch porn instead...

good. dont download movies.

[pythagoraz]

good. dont download movies.

-But porn are movies too.. :(

And we both know that everybody downloads all kind of media without paying for it.. you too.

I am a musician and my debut album was available on torrent sites before I got it from my record label... That's the way of the future, and no one can stop it. You (all) and the movie companies/ record labels have to accept that, and start looking for innovative ways to profit on the internet and leave the old "hardware" selling behind instead of crying and bi...ing about it. -when you finally do that, the cultural benefits will start to flourish once again.

being hypocritical and offenssive towards me just because i had downloaded a movie will not solve anything. It is just being childish.. ;)

pardon my french... :-/

I have downloaded a total of 2 movies in my entire life, back when i was 15. The Devils Rejects and Eraserhead. Directly after i watched them, I deleted them and bought the DVDs, so don't accuse me of hypocrisy.

I am talking about Mp3s, movies, software etc. are you really that innocent?

How is him saying that hypocritical or childish?

It is hypocritical to lecture me about illegal downloads due to a post I made which had nothing to do with downloads but in fact was a question about a movie, as if everybody isn't doing it anyway, probably Mothman too. -If he really has not downloaded any kind media illegaly I am of course wrong here and I will then definately apologize since that would make all this I write a tad too offenssive. But I think that people often forget that this copyright issue involves many different medias. In fact most avatars in here conflicts with copyright law if you were to take it that seriously.

I am just annoyed with all this because it, in my view, probably is nothing but a standard "noob-flamming" act disguised as some righteous act of law inforcing. I know that Foras often have this tendency with "new guys" but lets be honest about it and just say stuff about eachother's mothers instead or something.

Wouldn't you too call that hypocritical or at least dishonest?

:)

But again.. Mothman might be the exception and thus require some appology from my part. -Or we could just let it go...

[The Mothman]

this conversation was about downloading movies, you brought music and software into it to try and prove a point. Yes, in terms of downloading movies, I am that innocent.
but since you brought it up, as for downloading music, I try not to download mp3s from bands that aren't doing to good. I support my local scene, see locals shows and buy local band merch and albums all the time. And as for downloading software, I try to stay away from it because its great for viruses. I have bought a total of 100+ games in my lifetime, so I'd say im pretty innocent in that category too.

Not hypocritical.

One, you're a n00b. You don't really know anything about any of us yet.

Two, if we were downloading movies, we wouldn't be openly speaking about it. And technically, you were talking of downloading movies, because I don't believe this movie has been released, and the only way it would be on your computer is if you downloaded it, or ripped it. Seeing that it isn't out yet, the latter would be near impossible.

Three, there are a lot of filmmakers and special effects people here. I'm sure that they don't appreciate someone coming on here, saying that they have their movie, when the thing isn't even released.

As far as the MP3's go, yes, people do download those. But not everyone. I myself am a musician. I get pissed when my stuff winds up on LimeWire. But when someone out and admits to me directly, that they stole it. :mad:

[pythagoraz]

sry again... delete this too! :(

One, yes I am a newbie.. :) Thanks for reminding me, I tend to forget my place on my knees in the HDC harcores shadow.. I appologize...

Two, I said very clearly that I was just presuming. I did not conclude anything, so I would'nt say I pretend that I "know" any of you...

Three, I have already adressed the whole "illegal download" thing in this thread, and we clearly do not agree. I get mad when my music ends up on Limewire etc. too, but I am not hypocritical enough to cry about it. -I keep it to myself.

But if you are as "honest" as you say, I really do respect that -And by "You" I mean everybody. If however you are not, and just won't admit it, I have NO respect for your aggression or points in this thread.

There is no honor in the downloading of copyright material just because you don't admit that you do it. "filmmakers and special effects people", musicians or whatever, are not loosing more money from a download that are mentioned in a forum than they are from your "secret, hush hush" downloading... -That whole attitude is precisely what I am calling hypocritical.

Anyway.. this is so off-topic -And even though I don't like it, I will do as everybody else and "pretend & lie" in the furture... :rolleyes:

Now... let's leave it be. ;)

You know, usually, I don't flame n00bs, and I usually stick up for them. But you are being a pain in the ass. You aren't going to make it here. I give you a week or two at most.

This isn't a forum for downloading things. This is a forum for watching HORROR movies. And if you're dumb enough to admit openly on the internet that you download illegal copies of movies, you deserve to be caught doing it.

You started this whole conversation with your hostility, and being an ass towards one, short comment, from a regular member, then expect us to welcome you with open arms?

None of us are "pretending" that we don't. A lot of us here, rely on the fact that HONEST people won't do it.

And yes, I DO lose(I'm assuming that's what you were trying to say) money from people who do this. Maybe not anyMORE often than people that don't admit it. But why the hell would you say you steal shit? Why don't you go to the police station in your town and tell them you're stealing movies and music? Keep it out of our forums. I'd love to see what their reaction to it is.

We clearly have different views on this subject. But remember that I wasn't the one who brought "Downloading" up...

Anyway even though I am bored enough to find your aggression amusing, I am happy that we agree on one thing. -to end this discussion.

As to how long I will "stay" on HDC. -I will until I won't any more. Maybe in a week. who knows and who cares... again what is your point?

Let me get this straight. You're going to help me with my English, and you don't put a capital E on English, you spell condescending, condescenting, and without is withoout? And just so you know, the I, when you are referring to yourself as an individual, should be a capital Yeah, I don't think I'll be taking any grammar lessons from you.

Fuck down loading - tape trading is where its at:

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a360/ferox-13/snuffhunt.jpg

and yup that is a real front page head line from back in the day AND yeah they did refer to shoddy Italian Gore flick as Snuff movies....

:-)

Prolly watch the Wiz of Gore remake tomorrow anyway...

[illdojo]

6/10
Not the best remake, but not the worst. ..Some nice gore, good acting especially from Crispin Glover...it would have sucked without him. Definitely worth a rent.

[ChronoGrl]

So we finally got around to watching this last night... And I have to say that I was not only surprised, but ridiculously impressed.

I've never seen the original, so I don't have it as a frame of reference, but...

The direction was clean, purposeful, interesting well-done.

All of the characters were fascinating (the costumes were brilliant).

And Crispin Glover steals the show (which isn't that much a surprise).

My only two critiques:

The end was a little silly and non-sensical (then again, if it's Hershel Gordon Lewis, then non-sensical, well, makes sense... Also, everything blurs at a certain point and you need to just suspend your sense of disbelief).
There wasn't enough gore. For a film entitled "Wizard of Gore" that actually had a huge budget,I was expecting Glover's stage performances to actually shock me (let's go beyond what exploitation and torture porn have already put on film for us and find a new level of gore to test the audience)...


Despite my critiques, however, I absolutely loved this film. Unfortunately I don't have the original for a frame of reference, so I can't speak as to whether or not it's a good remake, but for a good horror film itself, it was amazing. Absurd. Surreal. Bloody. Horrific.

I'd recommend to everyone.

[urgeok2]

how were the Suicide Girls ? was it obvious who they were ?

[illdojo]

how were the Suicide Girls ? was it obvious who they were ?

Completely sexy (I love women with tattoos).... and yes very obvious.

[Ferox13]

I was suprised how good this was...

And not giving the SGs many lines was a good choice.

[ChronoGrl]

how were the Suicide Girls ? was it obvious who they were ?

RIDICULOUSLY sexy.

And, honestly, I didn't think that they were that bad. I went in thinking that they'd be TERRIBLE.

But - Very few lines. Very good pieces of meat. ;)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/wizardofgoreDVD.gif

Honestly Urge - This film was fantastic.

[Elvis_Christ]

And not giving the SGs many lines was a good choice.

Yeh I agree. The SG thing put me off checking this out initially.

Really decent watch I enjoyed it. The director threw in a bit too much David Fincher worship and it could've done with more gore. It doesn't top HG Lewis' flick but its one of the better remakes I've seen in awhile.
