Personally, between Evil Dead II & Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I would rather go see Evil Dead II.
My reasons why is a lot less about film quality or horror significance as it is if I'm having a few drinks enjoying a movie I'd rather have some comedic elements at this point rather than hearing a woman scream for what feels like FOREVER. It just doesn't sound like fun to me anymore. The original is far to serious to watch in that kind of environment for me. I haven't watched the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre in probably 10 years now. I still like to watch 2 and 3 and even 4, but the original just doesn't have the re-watchability for me because it is so serious. |

Follow up your opening night with a genuine cult classic- The Beast In Heat (1977)
Here's the trailer:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9nRnI0A48o |

Hopefully number will grow and when we have a regular fanbase the movie selection will be user driven to a certain extent. Perhaps host a poll to see what the next movie is. Have movie selection as a competition prize. I am saving up all your suggestions so feel free to keep them coming. If we weren't restricted to horror I'd include The Warriors, Rolling Thunder and maybe The Wanderers. |

I think the violence was in context and appropriate for the message of the movie and just because film makers can get away with a whole lot more now isn't a bad thing. Sure some directors go for 'route one' gore but equally it hasn't reduced the quality of horrors. It just means there's a broader spectrum to that element of the genre. If you want to make 'sick' for 'sicks' sake you can. I watched The Skin I Live In last night and it made me feel a lot more uneasy than any gornography movie. It's probably more Thriller than Horror but it goreless, clever and well told. Irreversible is just as good but does call on the 'sick' to enhance the movie. I think it's unfair to say todays movies are 'crappy' it's probably just that we have movies that are crappy because they are so one dimensional - a dimension that didn't exist until the '90s - gore/torture/sick. ps, I've just acquired Eden Lake and Three...Extremes. Which should I watch tonight? |
my vote goes to
Well I know I've said it before, but in my opinion the best cult horror movie ever is Prince of Darkness. You have your devil, your quantum physics, your zombies, your Alice Cooper. I mean, it's all happening right there, John Carpenter at his best.

Also, where would I get the most 'complete' version? |

Unfortunately we still haven't got the true uncut version as released yet. There was a recent release after the director died which is probably the best one. I'll post a link once I remember which version it was. |
