Nicklord's thread for everything related to movies

[nicklord1]

Hi have managed to put these giallo movies on my rental list.

cat o nine tails
house with laughing windows
deep red
the bird with the crystal plummage
torso
who saw her die

Is this is a good start

Cheers

[Roderick Usher]

good start

TORSO starts off weak and slow, but the last fifteen minutes are stunningly directed... the ending saves the film for me.

[roshiq]

Lately saw Laughing windows and it's a pretty good 70's creepy horror-thriller which I don't like to call a Giallo.

[Cement]

Some of my favorite non-Argento giallo films:

Spirits of Death (Un bianco vestito per Mariale) (1972) - one of the early films by Romano Scavolini, who later directed the famous slasher ''Nightmares in Damaged Brain''. ''Spirits of Death'' offers creepy atmosphere of the medieval castle, decadence and very surprising final scene, completely different from the standards of giallo thrillers.

The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh (Lo strano vizio della Signora Wardh) (1971) - definitly one of the best giallos by Sergio Martino, even better then later ''The Case of the Scorpions Tale''. Great role of beautiful Edwige Fenech, demonic Ivan Rassimov as her ex-lover, and - what's most important - very clever plot with many surprising twists which can leave you speechless even a giallo fan.

All the Colors of the Dark (Tutti i colori nel buio) (1972) - another great thriller by Sergio Martino, this time with lot of psychodelic scenes and pretty onyric atmosphere. We can see another great appearences of Edwige Fenech and Ivan Rassimov, as well as George Hilton. Finally, the fantastic music score of Bruno Nicolai needs to be mentioned.

Don't Torture a Duckling (Non si sevizia un paperino) (1972) - one of the early films of Lucio Fulci is one of his best at the same time. Beautiful locations, portraying the typical small village society and great gore scenes are it's strongest sides, together with music of Riz Ortolani.

Eyes of Crystal (Occhi di cristalo) (2004) - one of very few post-2000 attempts to reanimate giallo, and I have to say it's a good one. Great plot, good roles of Luigi Lo Cascio and Lucia Jimenez, and many references to the classic giallos, including ''Four Flies on Grey Velvet'', ''Torso'' and ''Don't Torture a Duckling''.

The Sleepaway Camp films were a lot of fun.

[AMICUS HORROR]

Happy birthday to me is a cool movie.:cool:

[Ferox13]

I find it so weird that J Lee Thompson who made Happy Birthday to Me also made the origina Cape Fear and Ice-Cold in Alex...

He seemed to end up doing a lot of but fun Chuck Bronson films..

[Elvis_Christ]

He directed some of Bronson's best work IMO: The Evil That Men Do, 10 to Midnight, Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects.

Also he directed the best of the Planet of the Apes series. Conquest of the Planet of the Apes.

[nicklord1]

Any news for the release of this movie ?

[Bastet]

Hi folks.
Can anybody help me. Trying to find Four Flies on Grey Velvet-either region free or region 2. Amazon only have it as region 1 and i have yet to invest in a multi region dvd player. This and Le cinque Giornate are the only two of Argento's films that i have been unable to get a hold on.

Thank you Peeps xxx

You should type the brand and model of your DVD player into google and find a crack for it. I did it to my players a few months back and it worked a treat.

Really must invest in a new one! But cheers babe xx

A very nice kind knight on a white charger has ridden to my rescue. He is a star and knows who he is. Thank you babe.
What a waste x;)

[nicklord1]

Hi i just watched this movie and wanted to know your take on it etc etc i.e who was the murderer

[TheWickerFan]

I had the impression that the housekeeper was the killer and Alice would likely take her place.

[newb]

ha

I'm guessing that you are over 40 ;)

[TheWickerFan]

ha

I'm guessing that you are over 40 ;)

Not quite, why?

[AMICUS HORROR]

I liked this movie, a very good who done it mystery with all the hallmarks of
a galio. The killer was Mrs Tredoni the church house keeper. I am curious of
Newb's remarks to TheWickerFan, I am under the age of 40, in fact I had to
lie about my age before I could join this forum.:rolleyes: Did I ever mention
that all the mods on this forum are all awesome people.:rolleyes:

[newb]

lol

sorry..my bad

I saw the word "housekeeper" and "Alice" and the first thing I thought of was "The Brady Bunch"


that what happens when you get over 40 :o

[_____V_____]

Has anyone heard of the term...

"HUGE SPOILER ALERT"?!

Congratulations. You just spoiled the film for an entire group of people who haven't seen the film yet.

[TheWickerFan]

As the first thing that was written in the thread was the question "Who was the murderer?", I thought that was probably enough of a warning to anyone who hadn't seen the film. I apologize wholeheartedly nonetheless.

HUGE SPOILER ALERT

There was another film called Alice the housekeeper directed by Just Jaeckin
and it starred Sylvia Kristel, its not a horror movie:rolleyes: but it would put you guys
in the over 40 age group. Sylvia Kristel is my favorite scream queen.:rolleyes:

[discodude]

yeah,i also enjoyed happy birthday to me.was rated 18 when i watched it,but then dissapeared over here in the u.k!think it is now available but now rated 15?

[iSeymore]

[missmacabre]

Happy Birthday to Me and Sleepaway Camp are good one. Also check out the original Black Christmas. It's considered to be the first slasher film ever made, and I will happily vouch for it's awesomeness.

Haven't seen April Fool's Day & Silent Night Deadly Night.

[Bhorrorfan]

I would highly suggest Silent night deadly night. The first sequel as well although if you want the sequel skip the first half or live through it cuz its mostly a recap of the first, but after that in 2 the villain is the little brother of the one in the original. I dont wanna ruin any for you but the killer is santa lol at least in the first, someone dressed as him that is. Most people find it stupid for horror but i found the story behind it interesting and even semi-believable. Basically as a child the villans parents are killed by a robber dressed as santa which instills the kids fear in the costume. He grows up in an orphanage under an old bitch who teaches him his and his brothers main killing excuse, they are just perverting it but she teaches them punishment is nessesary, you dont gotta guess she abused em. Anyway in moderntime in the movie the actor gets a job during the holidays and is made to dress as santa. You can guess where the movie goes from there but it has some cool kill scenes and dispite below adverage acting for most of the actors the characters seem believeable enough. Id rate this movie a 8/10 probobly, and would reccomend it to any horror fan who embraces b-horror films dispite any errors or bad acting they gotta live through to see the interesting story and cool ass kills.

[nicklord1]

what do you guys think ?

[The Villain]

Of what? Just whats on our minds right now?

[The Villain]

Not sure. Got some leftover chinese food at my friends house and i'm going there later so probably that. Right now i'm having a hamburger as a late lunch

i love chinese food

[hammerfan]

I'm hungry too, but don't have time for dinner because I have to leave for physical therapy in a half hour.

[ManchestrMorgue]

Chinese food is good. Unfortunately it has fallen out of favour (relatively speaking) at least where I am with the introduction of a number of other Asian cuisines, most particularly Thai food.

Not that there is anything wrong with Thai food - I love it too, but I digress.

Silent House, on the other hand, I haven't seen. But if it is anywhere near as good as Chinese food, or Thai food for that matter, we are all in for a real treat.

Here's hoping.

Oh no Physical Therapy for what?

[ManchestrMorgue]

That's a shame that Thai food is hard for you to come by. Good Thai food is simply amazing.

But yeah, I sort of miss decent Chinese food - there just is not the emphasis on it around where I am that there used to be.

I feel bad for you. I could eat Chinese food everyday

[leezuki]

Isnt that what it was about? :rolleyes:

[leezuki]

[Fearonsarms]

I'm making myself some veggie chilli con carne later.

[leezuki]

veggi chilli never had it with just vegies, i am having a indian takeaway tonight.

[nicklord1]

when oh when will it get a dvd release

[The Villain]

Never heard of it.

[leezuki]

never watched it, but all i know it was a video nasty.

[Fearonsarms]

Well the recipe varies but I use Quorn mince, mixed beans (or just kidney beans), mushrooms, chopped tomatoes, mixed herbs, tomato puree and cheat with a packet of mild chilli spices (I can't stand it too hot so don't use the seeds) and obviously rice.

[Fearonsarms]

I couldnt agree more its one of the few video nasties I still haven't seen-its also known as Night Warning I believe.
