Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film

This was a really cool documentary on the slasher sub-genre. Tons of great interview footage with very respectable horror icons like John Carpenter, Wes Craven, Tom Savini, Rob Zombie, etc plus a lot of clips of cool death scenes (many from the mid 80s). There's lots of useless but interesting information about many of our low budget favorites like Savini explaining in detail how he did some of the gorier deaths in some of the Friday the 13th movies. One interesting piece of info I picked up that I did not know was that when they were making Halloween, they could only afford Donald Pleasence for 3 days of shooting so ALL of his scenes in the first Halloween movie were filmed in 3 days time.

This film basically tracks the slasher genre from Psycho & Peeping Tom through Halloween & Friday the 13th to Nightmare on Elm Street then Scream to the modern day equivelants of films like Hostel, Wolf Creek & Saw.

This should be considered a must see documentary for anyone that considers themself anything more than a casual horror fan.

To Live and Die in LA

just got finished watching the crow

AHH! You left out my Tombstone!!! That's got to be one of my favorites if for no other reason than Val Kilmer's A+ performance as Doc Holliday. I also really enjoyed both Young Guns films because not only were they entertaining, but surpirsingly, they were pretty close to being historically accurate too.

Great vengeance film! I need to buy it.



John Tucker Must Die- 10/10

............what?

Hahahahha, everyone keeps making fun of me for it. Shut up! I love this movie, I have it and I watch it a lot, everyone get over it.

I've had to put him on "ignore" for this type of shit. Worst taste on the forum.

Nice list of westerns made there. Its really tough to beat The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly though. I think For a Few Dollars More comes the closest, followed by Once Upon a Time in The West.
bwind22, I have to get that documentary. Can you refer me to a site where I can buy it? Thanks a lot buddy.:)
Last film I watched was Serenity.
