Help Me Identify This Film, Please. EDIT-SOLVED!

[tuleven]

older, between seventy-five and eighty-five i'd guess.
was on Netflix instant queue when i saw it, prolly around this time in two thousand and ten.
soldiers (i feel like they were german?) are dispatched to occupy a fortress in a peasant town. against the warnings of the peasants they do, and it's haunted... or there are zombies. i don't remember, but i DO remember liking it very much and would like to own a copy.
i know this is a very weak and broad description, but if you have ANY idea, toss it out there and i'll imdb it until i find a match. i'd appreciate any input, no matter how much of a longshot it seems to be.

also, i think it may have been subtitled when i saw it, ie not in english. could be wrong about that too though. any guesses would be just dandy.

thanks in advance,
211

well....you did say "please"


sound like "The Keep" is the movie you're looking for.

seriously. first reply nailed it on the tits. Thanks you so much, brev. The name "Fortress" kept sticking in my head, but that's that Lambert movie, totally not what i was looking for. I greatly appreciate it, duder. Thanks again.

[newb]

any "tits" need nailing....I'm your man. :D

[tuleven]

it's... also... never been "officially" released on dvd. i'm crying on the inside, because i remember having a very positive feeling after watching this film. i found it bootlegged... but fuck that. srsly. i have a bootlegged copy of from beyond and i can't stand to watch it. vhs-to-dvd verts are lame as all get out.
thanks anyways though, brev. i do greatly appreciate it even though the result of the knowledge is piss. glad these forums are active, because i watch a load of shite movies when i'm pissed and have trouble remembering the ones i liked heh heh.

[tuleven]

just saw the sticky post about where to put questions like the one i asked above. sorry, nerd-horror community. please don't flame me out too soon. i'll get better in the future. forgive.

I got me a burnt copy from laserdisc. Pretty good flick...tons of atmosphere.

[tuleven]

it's not that i'm concerned about the quality of the film, it's flooding back how much i liked it. i'm concerned with the quality of the PICTURE. laserdisc... is something. i'd ask my grandpa but he's chillin with hpl now. found out it's still totally on netflix's instant queue (for now), so that'll do just fine. i'm just hoping for an actual legitimate port to dvd before netflix takes it down. not only does the film have a great feel to it, horror-wise, but it's... foreign. makes me feel like a better person for appreciating it. like dario argento's shit, even though half of it's in broken english.

hey, on again like the original post:
mid-seventies to eighties
like a macabre play
eccentric(i was gonna type 'gay-ass' till i articulated correctly.) dude and his midget sidekick kidnap people and kill them on stage in front of (a small) audience (who don't really believe what they're seeing). this was in english. i think it may have been scored by goblin. mebbe not, but i remember noises and music being a big part of how this movie felt. and it was terrible. but i would like to watch it again.

man you really do suck at remembering movies


Bloodsucking Freaks [1976]

[tuleven]

holy hell yer amazing. my descriptions are so weak, but you've got this shit on lockdown! man, was that movie ever bad?! and i really need to watch it again to remind myself. unfortunately, netflix has decided to remove it from iq as well as hard copy. lame. good call though, duder. you know these garbage movies like a boss, or at least can search enternitz far better than i can has. thanks a lot, AGAIN, bromo.

you want to watch a good one on netflix instant...check out this one

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/rockinmule/mmu_poster.jpg

just watched it the other night....it's a documentary about all the cheap movies made in the Philippines in the 60s and 70s. Tons of great clips and some good interviews.

[tuleven]

will do boss. it's popped into my 'shit you should watch' a lot lately. at yer suggestion i will indeed.

[ZombieDrone]

How did you get Bloodsucking Freaks from that!? lol.

Granted, I've never seen it, but I have rough idea about it.

[tuleven]

apparently he knows his shit, cause he was dead on. that movie was.... mostly discordant to say the least, but if you haven't seen it and can stand the b-class (some may say 'classic') stuff, check it out, mang.

Was it you who answered this for me a while back?

This movie is still on instant queue, btw. I recently re-watched it.
*edit* The new guy already mentioned that. Welcome to the forum, btw.

To be honest...my first thought was "The Wizard of Gore". But then I thought...hmmmm...there wasn't a midget in that.....and I know I've seen the movie in question. So to jog my beer-filled brain, I googled "horror movie midgets" and knew that once I saw the name of the movie....I had it.

[tuleven]

if you read through, you'd see that i'd posted it's in iq still. was just a question as to wtf it was, posted in the wrong section of forums. sorry bout that. sick film though, eh?
snap. i'm way too judgmental of efolk. thanks for the post and thanks again for welcoming me. i take shit way too srsly for internetz to do me good, so please take my post with a grain of salt. a huge motherfucking boulder of salt.

I enjoy it. I noticed on imdb that Michael Mann doesn't like this movie and doesn't care for it to get a dvd release.
:mad:

[tuleven]

he didn't like it... hmm... have you noticed he hasn't done anythin worthwhile in a couple of decades either? senility has set in, i'm afraid.
