maybe i'm remembering wrong, but didn't the trucker stop because the chic (marilyn burns) wave him down? I'll always love the reaction of the trucker when he sees leatherface waving the chainsaw... he's like, i'll getting out of here!

STAND BY ME (1986). Still holds up well. ****

He did, he get's out to check what he hit I guess, and comes across her and Leatherface. Then BOTH of them get back in the truck, just to crawl across the seat and out of the fucking thing and run back the way the truck came! WHY? Why didn't he just drive away? Leatherface was going at the door with the chainsaw, but it was barely leaving a dent. They were safe!

The Car

HORROR HIGH 1974

Pretty much enjoyed this.

One of my favorites!

I was very pleasantly surprised. Had a groovy little soundtrack too.

POLTERGEIST

Forever a classic, thank you Hooper. ♥
I give it... 5 out of 5 face peels.

COUNTESS DRACULA (1971). An aged decrepit Countess discovers when she bathes in girl's blood, she becomes absolutely ravishing Ingrid Pitt::love::. Sadly, the cure reverses at the most inappropriate times::sad::::mad::. Silly nonsense, but entertaining and better than You would think. ***

Currently watching Nightmare on Elm Street III.

WITHOUT WARNING 1980

Kind of goofy special effects but sort of enjoyed this Alien vs Young Couple story. They try to escape it with the help of a cantankerous hunter (Jack Palance).

80's INCEPTION!
 

Dreamscape (1984)

https://s26.postimg.org/qada5meih/DRMSCAP.jpg

Few days back luckily discovered this movie while randomly browsing through some torrent sites and still wondering why I haven't seen or heard about it before?! Besides the great cast including Max Von Sydow, Christopher Plummer and a young Dennis Quaid (who eerily resembles to young Harrison Ford back at that time around!), the thing that instantly grabbed my interest was its IMDB plot synopsis..."A young psychic on the run from himself is recruited by a government agency experimenting with the use of the dream-sharing technology and is given the inverse task of planting an idea into the mind of the U.S. president!" Yeah...it also freaked me out like..."What...80s got an INCEPTION too!? I need to check this out asap!!" And finally gave it a watch lately.
In compare to Inception, DREAMSCAPE is clearly a far cry from what Nolan did in 2010. Although it did mention few similar ideas i.e. jumping into the subconscious mind and stealing the little secrets but at the end it all comes down to prevent an assassination in the dream world rather than planting an idea. The effects were dated but still fun and I think Joseph Ruben (who also directed 80s cult slasher THE STEPFATHER and early 90s thrillers - SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY, THE GOOD SON & MONEY TRAIN) did a decent job with Dreamscape within the limited resources & technological advancement available back at that time. Overall, like many other 80s action-adventure-thrillers, this is also a solid entertainer!

ICED 1988

A group present at the apparent suicide of a friend are reunited years later at an exclusive previewing of a new ski resort.

Pretty generic but a great 80's feel.

IT [1990]

I never saw this on its original run. weird...I know. So I have no nostalgia for it like many do. That being said I thought it was just MEH. Clowns never scared me and lets not even discuss that ridiculous spider thing at the end.

My other issue with the original is Annette O'Toole. I've never been a fan of hers. She annoys the shit out of me.

DR PHIBES RISES AGAIN (1972). Doesn't seem to be much love for this, but I quite like it. Some really nasty demises and Vincent is fantastic as always. And really, despite all the bad things Phibes does, it's all for love and I find the line "You in My Arms...and I in Yours!" quite stirring. ***1/2

Totally agree, Roshiq! Good film! Dreamscape was fairly big film at the time... scifi-horror with fairly big stars and budget, and it received good reviews. I saw it at the theatre. I saw it recently and thought the effects were wholly adequate. For my radio show, I did a dreams themed show, using some Inception clips, but mostly used Dreamscape clips.

LOL! " Alien vs Young Couple"...

Ya, I didn't see any of the TV series either. Never very interested in it, just curious. I was considering watching it, er IT, but after your review, I think I'll skip it. Besides, might as well just see the new film.

After so many years, lately rewatched it for the recent IT hype! The Kids part was beautifully done, loved Tim Curry as Pennywise and thought the first two-third of the movie was good enough but yeah...can't disagree about that goddamn ending! One of the most ridiculously funny looking shitty Giant spiders even seen in a movie!

Nope, "It" was just something of Stephen king's that I never took to. More liked Cujo, Silver Bullet and Pet Semetary to name a few.

PHANTASM II 1988

I didn't hate it.....I could have taken it or left it.

'70s- Messiah of Evil(1973) rewatch
'80s Burial Ground (1981) rewatch

FRIGHTNIGHT 2 1988

Revisited this just to see Roddy but the first one can't be beat.

Roddy's in the second too?! Ahhh I loved him in the first one! I need to put this on my watch list ASAP. After I watch Salem's Lot cause David Soul's in it. ::smile::

Yep he's in it and wait til you see his new digs!

BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (1970). Very camp and somewhat dated, but truth to be told, this is a GREAT little film. Great songs, quick editing, interesting characters etc etc. Watching "Z-Man" these days, all I can think of is Tim Curry in ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. Also...Cynthia Myers::love::::love::. ****

Last 70s: Invasion of the Body Snatchers 78 (seen it many times but it was on CBS All Access so wth)
Last 80s: Pet Sematary 89 (never finished it before but now I remember why...didnt love the acting...needs a remake)

Schoolgirls in Chains (1973)

https://s26.postimg.org/pk25kmlbt/SGin_Chains.jpg

Somewhat 'Psycho' inspired but kind of misleading in terms of how they promoted the movie like an early 70s total trashy or sleazy horror-thriller, which it's not that much actually. Particularly the title and that poster didn't fit with the film. Yeah...there were nudity and even a 'rape' scene but overall found this quite decent against what the title & poster pretend to be.

>>: B-

This flick hits all the right horror gags...rats...spiders...eyeballs...wolf howlin' in a graveyard...family dinner scene...labyrinthian sets....dead rising...good wet and dry FX.
It has the feel of an 18+ episode of Scooby Doo ::big grin::
It's an Italian made for TV movie too::big grin::
Real good movie.

Graveyard Disturbance (1987)

Heck yes I remember this movie. I have to revisit this during the halloween season. ::cool:: ( if you liked this, may I recommend "Spookies". ) here's a link to the trailer. Hope it works.

And Now The Screaming Starts, 1973. 8/10

LOL! This looks great! Love the practical effects. Even has the horrible Hollywood 80's-esque music. I swear, the 80's was easily one of the best, if not the best, decades of rock music, and all the Hollywood fake-80's-rock was the worst music to ever be put to film! ::big grin::

It ranks right up there as one of the weirdest movies I've ever watched but I love it.

THE NORLISS TAPES (1973). Good little TV film by Dan Curtis that just falls apart at the end when I was expecting a wrap up. Good cast, great Robert Corbert music (He did the music for DARK SHADOWS) and interesting premise, but really could have been better. Have heard it was supposed to be a TV pilot which may explain the structure. **1/2

Dracula (1979)

I don't care what you say, I love this movie!

Lol, trust me...the youth of today have no taste! ::stick out tongue::

LOL! To be honest, I'm probably biased since I saw Frank Langella in the play in NYC before they did the movie.

The Evil Dead

Wasn't Rick Springfield Dracula in Dracula 79? Didn't he dance and sing and women swooned... ::wink::
