Have you seen Jigsaw? As awful as Totem was, Jigsaw was alot worse IMO.

I've never really cared for Full Moon movies. The only one I saw that was worth anything was the first installment of "Puppet Master". Crap like "The Dead Hate The Living" "The Horrible Dr. Bones", "Shreiker", "Rag Doll", "Prison Of The Dead", "Witchouse" pretty much suck. But I do have to give them credit. None of those stinkers can rival that utter garbage that York Entertainment delivers. That and New Concorde. Artisan usually makes a lot of crap, too.... but on occasion, they have a handful that are actually okay.

*sigh*...You guys will never get to know them the way that I know them...Yes, the ones that you have mentioned ARE terrible...BUT...There was a time (before the ones you mentioned were made) that Full Moon was actually GOOD....Puppetmaster series, Dollman, Subspecies series, etcetera...If you want to check out some that weren't so terrible...Try the ones that were made around that time period...And do NOT watch Killjoy or Creeps...

Some of them like Hideous and Head Of The Family are a bit like Troma films...Cheesy (stupid) on purpose...But, kinda fun

I could tell ya some, ahem, stories about working on some of them things.

Especially the ones with Traci Lords in 'em, huh?

i'd say i know Full Moon about as intimately as anyone here that hasnt worked on them ... and even at their best .. they're pretty weak films. a profesional company that never lost the look and feel of amateur film. Never felt they had to.
I know a lot of people want to like them .. several grew up on them as i did (well, at least through the 80's) but not one of their films was what i would consider to be a good or strong film.

its a who's who of non-actors ... Tim Thomerson is the best they had..
(i know Helen Hunt .. and one or two others have shown up in small parts... they hardly saved the films)

the one consistant is that the music ALWAYS sucked.
They also suffered from unorigionality - when they werent ripping off better films they were ripping off themselves.

This is a company that only survived because of home video.
people will rent anything. they know it and have been taking advantage of that for 20 years.

an whats worse than full moon ?
their shitty branch of kids films Moonbeam.


for the record .. i was even a member of the Fullmoon mailing list at one time ..

sort of like an ex smoker .. i simply cant deal with that shit at all now

This is quite true

What about Shrieker, everyone loves Shrieker...right? Right? I have to admit I liked Demonic Toys in its own special way as well as the first few Puppet Masters.

Yeah, I've seen some that were okay at the very best, but some were so bad that I was kicking myself in the ass for renting em. Dollman is alright, but it's just a little too cheesy for me. And most vampire films I'm just not really into for some odd reason.
LMAO! :D That's a good one. :)
As for crap like New Concorde and York Entertainment, instead of screwing off and pumping out video after video after video, why not take some of that money, save up a little, get a decent budget and make a movie that's actually good?
