Not at all familiar with Final Sacrifice, but if it's even close to as much fun to watch as Unhinged, I'm all in.

Watching The Howling right now

INCIDENT AT RAVENS GATE 1988

A young man, recently out of prison, moves in with his brother and sister-in-law to finish out his parole. They live on a farm in the outback and all of a sudden experience problems with their water and electricity. An elderly couple living nearby are fried to death in their home and people start hallucinating and going mad.

Quite worth the watch.

Hey Bloof! I just saw a wild 80's spoof you might like on Netflix (it's on youtube too). It's Kung Fury, it's 30 mins long. It's a spoof of the 80's action films, even appearing to be a VHS tape with tracking effects. It's totally over the top. The writer/director is the lead actor, and he really sells it. Though it's probably more a guy film ::wink::

I loved it..again and again! Someone on the forum mentioned it last year as a youtube gem(?). I don't think there's one thing wrong with it.

It also helps set your thoughts to find symbolism in film, which is very cool.

There's things in The Shining you never knew you saw (I'd bet).

It doesn't make The Shining a better film, it just explains it, and also cranks you up to notice things in film.

I do believe some of the things are just the doc maker's opinion, but I found the doc more interesting than the film.

Here's a clip of it, explaining the bigwheel ride. I did not notice these things in the film.


Hey Sculpt, I saw ROOM 237 also. Back in my younger more carefree days, drank lots of beer and smoked quite a bit of weed, courtesy of an older room mate. However, I cannot begin to imagine all the chemical substances those people in this film ingested before watching and how they imagined all that. THE SHINING isn't perfect, but I still enjoy it.

I hear ya! I was never a big drinker, but I had many meaningful times with da smoke.

I'm kinda guessing here... do you mean the writer of the documentary must have been on drugs to come up with all that material on The Shining? ::big grin::

Well, I can't deny theories tend to be enhanced that way, but we can't dismiss any of the factual things he presented -- such as what's presented in the youtube video I posted: what the visuals are in the bigwheel scene. I think you'd have to be stone cold sober to notice those things.

Speculating on what things mean, that's where things can get, well, speculative, real fast.

The NASA material in the film is really flaunted in one's face. The (base/original) story hardly has anything to do with NASA/Apollo (seems to me). Seems to beg one to find a connection. Pointing to something outside the story of the film is a very bold insinuation, but he certainly documents a case for it. Interesting stuff.

Me too! The musical score is pretty intense too.

FryeDwight 10-14-2016 08:19 AM

HELTER SKELTER (1976). Very faithful to the facts and a scary turn by Steve Railsback as Manson. However, the film has the stagnant quality that was common to TV movies back then.
Good spot by TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE's Marilyn Burns as Linda Kasabian. ***

Happy Birthday to Me-1981. My cup of tea indeed. ::cool::

Just watched the best worst movie in the world that also made me love Tim Curry even more because he is so wonderfully ridiculous in it.The Worst Witch.
Man i love Tim Curry so much.

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.

Last seen 70s/80s movie
 
!!!HORROR MOVIE MONTH!!!

https://s9.postimg.org/ud2di63zv/Reanimator.jpg
Re-Animator (1985)
I.M.D.B.
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 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!
8.5/10

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.

Yeah, but the losing interest in kiddie films when you get older.
This is you to watch the hellraiser films at age 13 but then you can't watch clock work orange.

Great film this is...wish it would come out on DVD

DRAGONSLAYER (1981)Excellent film that deserves more attention. The dragon effects are incredible considering CGI was in its infancy or not around. ****

I thought that Dragon Slayer was an awesome film when I was growing up.
The dragon is well done too.

CGI sucks.

Ah, DRAGONSLAYER... great effects, no CGI.

I saw it in the theater with my family. Oddly cryptic. I don't think anyone really knew what to make of it. It's strange on many levels. Lost $4mil in theater ticket sales.

I think I first saw it when I was 16.
A friend of mine introduced me to it. Happened to be his dad's favorite movie.
Caligula stars the same actor. It's about a batshit crazy Roman emperor.
Also worth watching.
