Hard Candy is showing, if you haven't seen that it's pretty intense, and Ellen Page is GREAT.

Yeah, I put a review of it on 'last seen movie' awhile back
Totally blew me away

I will never be the same

On ChronoGirl's recommendation I watched Home Movie. You have to pay for this one- but it's worth it!

The Exorcism of Emily Rose

Gripping, engrossing supernatural horror story that only falters slughtly during the final courtroom scene. Extremely well done, IMO- like a great horror film from the 70s.

I recommend catching this one!

Watched an interesting making of segment about Hard Candy. It's under Fearnet>Extras.

Hard Candy Extra 2

If you're confused about what a producer does on a film, watch this extra.

Lot's on movies ON Demand are ending today so hopefully there will be lots of interesting new choices tomorrow.

Do you still have Midnight Meat Train? Because thats gone but I still have Devils Rejects and House of 1000 Corpses on mine, though its not comcast. And I just lost Donnie Darko last week. Plus my stuff updates every thursday, is that how yours works or is it just a monthly thing?

I never paid that much attention to the exact schedule- I know stuff becomes available more than monthly. A bunch of stuff is ending tonight though. It's not quite midnight yet so I'm not sure what all will expire though.

Got several new interesting offerings on Fearnet this month:

Last House on the Left - THE ORIGINAL!
Midnight Meat Train - listed as "new" even though it's been playing over a month.
People Under the Stair
Serpent and the Rainbow
Wishmaster
An American Haunting
Penny Dreadful

Enjoy!

Of the three films released in the past 3 years named Penny Dreadful, the one here is the one from 2006 starring Rachel Miner.

In the Sundance section:

Art School Confidential

Wonderful little indie film that manages to be murder mystery, satire of the art world, young romance- all at the same time, and all effectively. One of the best mixes of comedy and drama I've seen with spot on performances from John Malkovich, Jim Broadbent, Steve Buscemi (in a role that's strangely uncredited, as it's a fairly major role) and many others.

Really fun film.

And it's actually pretty impressive.

In terms of the other HorrorFest films, "Wicked Little Things" is a nice little movie if you're looking for a decent horror flick (though not perfect), and "Gravedancers" wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Not my two favorite films, per se, but if you're bored and have Fearnet, check them out.

I have started watching 9 fearnet movies and shut them off after 5 minutes.
Not the best selection this month.IMO

How about we start a thread about how horrible some of these movies are?:D

Well, it's a given that most stuff on there is crap- that's why I made this thread to point out stuff that's above average that people might like to check out.

Go for it though.

What??:eek:
You can't sit there and tell me that Waxwork2 isn't the finest piece of american horror cinema!:mad:

:cool:

Adaptation.

A marvelous film in all respects. A sly, witty, unique vision.

REINCARNATION

The freaked out film from the director of The Grudge is seriously wack. It's brilliant. The story of a crew filming a recreation of a mass murder in a hotel that happened 35 years ago careens through different realities, locations and perspectives that end up fitting together seamlessly... I'm not sure exactly what it all means but it's told magnificently. I was even about ready to hate the ending which at one moment seemed like a cop out- but then it pulled it all back with the biggest WTF in the entire film.

The lead actress playing the lead actress and the actor playing the director were particulaly great.

Wonderful and recommended.

Damn! There is no channel provider or any single foreign/local channel available here only for horror or thriller genre!:( :mad:

Glad you liked this one. I think it's definitely one of 2007's best. I highly recommend it and think that it showcases Takashi Shimizu's brilliant eye for direction. It's shame, because I think it was overlooked, but I recommend it too.

Fear(s) of the Dark is on the In Theaters section of Sundance... it looks amazing but I don't know about spending 7 bucks on it because I'll later be buying it.

That's EXACTLY how I feel about it. LOVE the concept, but I'm not sure if it's worth spending the money.

Anyone else seen this yet? Is it worth the money?

That doll was creepier & scarier than Chucky ever was.

I answered your pm, btw.
.

I completely agree. And that folly work is enough to make you cringe. :eek:

And I answered YOU, btw. :D

No it isn't. Penny Dreadful was a pathetic little movie. The main character was a whiney little bitch who was impossible to like. Her therapist was the worst therapist EVER. The rest of the characters were expendible- literally. There were no surprizes in the plot. It followed formula completely. Writing was banal. Production valuyes and treatment were about on the level of a Lifetime movie.

This is one of the worst movies I've seen in a while.

I liked Penny Dreadful. :( I think that I went in with really low expectations and it exceeded them. It was a little gem.

...

There's actually a bunch of fantastic movies now on Sundance On Demand...

One's I've Seen (and recommend)

• Oldboy (for whomever hasn't seen this film, it's an iconic Asian horror must)
• The Friedmans - Fascinating and creepy documentary about a father and son who were accused of child abuse in a fairly disputed case. The documentary tries to take a neutral look, showing both testimony for and against the parents. Pretty dark and awful content, but a really interesting film.
• Wristcutters: A Love Story - I hate the title of this movie. Obviously trying to be controversial, this is just an eccentric look of the afterlife for suicides; a strange little love story with Patrick Fugit and the ridiculously hot Shannyn Sossamon. Also with Tom Waits and has a killer soundtrack

Ones that I really want to see

• Assassination of Richard Nixon
• Murderball - Documentary of a paraplegic rugby team
• Right At Your Door - Horror movie of panic taking over LA after a dirty bomb is dropped.

Right at Your Door is great. I saw it a few months back and reviewed it then.


Penny Dreadful was nothing but dreadful. :(

Thats a great little movie. Sean Penn is brilliant in it, and the script is really well done. Check it out for sure.

Agree.
I haven't seen Dark Ride, Reincarnation & Unrest of After Dark Horrorfest 2006 but others from the same festival were some poor horror films indeed except The Abandoned...that was a good effort.

Reincarnation sounds quite good. Added to the wish list.:)

Good to know; I was skeptical at first as I was concerned that it would have a xenophobic inflated anti-terrorist agenda (with the vehicle of the dirty bomb being dropped).

As long as it truly focuses on panic and human horror, I think it should make a good film. We'll have to check it out sometime this weekend.

It completely focuses on the human drama involved. It's really a gripping, taut suspenseful movie that takes place inside a house. Really top notch filmmaking.

comcast
 

i have comcast, but i dont watch that on demand crap;)

Too bad- there are some good things in there, if you look.

Wristcutters: A Love Story

A whimsically profound story that takes place in a purgatory world where suicides live. What would a world be like that was inhabited only by people who had comitted suicide? It's a pretty funny world, actually- even if nobody ever smiles. This is the driest dark comedy I've ever seen, and the three leads who find themselves on a road trip in this world, each for their own reasons, travelling in a rundown car with a black hole in the floor, are perfectly cast. I particularly enjoyed Eugene, a young musician of Russian ancestry who comitted suicide by pouring beer onto his electric guitar and electrocuting himself.

Tom Waits turns up, as does the guy who played Jerry on ER, and the lead of that awful Fearnet movie Catacombs. Turns out she can really act.

One of the best and most varied assembled soundtracks I've come across, with music by Tom Waits, Artie Shaw, Gram Parsons, Screaming Lord Sutch, Del Shannon, Joe Meek and a trio of tunes by Gogol Bordello, a post-modern Balkan cabaret outfit that add immeasurably to the atmosphere.

Watch this if you get a chance.

If you get to copy and paste your response in the Last Seen Movie thread, does that mean I get to copy and paste my response to your response? :p

hahaha

Apparently a number of the artists on the soundtrack were suicides. Fascinating.

Oh, wow. That's... creepily cool.

Who were the artists on the S/T?

I thought Wristcutters was a pretty unique film too. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Great soundtrack.

That character was actually based on the lead singer of Gogol Bordello, Eugene Hutz. Hutz is still alive though, just the character personality is based on him.

Read my review.
