Modern horror ?
 
Hi for me i watch mostly 70s -80s horror , i find horror in the last 10 yrs a bit of disappointment . Although i did enjoy switchblade romance.

Post some good movies from the last 15 yrs here.

Cheers

Thats kinda sad, probably means the value of them will eventually go up, start collecting now i guess!
I only have one VHS movie, I, Zombie, which my machine ate before i even got to watch it.

italian euro crime movies
 
I know this off topic a bit but i was wondering which ones where the best of this genre so i can add them to my collection.

Thank you

I'd be keen to hear some recommendations too. I watched Revolver last year and thought it was great and have been wanting to check out some more stuff.

The Blue Underground edition is excellent as usual. Haha if I had shitloads of money I'd buy there whole catelogue!

Elvis_Christ 01-06-2009 02:41 PM

I've got a bunch of horror VHS some flicks are better on that format while others are cut/terrible quality transfers. But 9 times outta 10 the cover art totally kills the DVD releases. I dig how they just put a lot more effort into the releases back then.

The photos don't really do them justice but check out these cool holographic covers for Maniac Cop and The Gate:

Elvis_Christ 01-06-2009 03:09 PM

I'm guessing you've heard of My Bloody Valentine, The Prowler, Maniac and The Burning Nicklord1? I left them out because they are pretty well known.

Slaughter High is one of my favorites too.

Elvis_Christ 01-06-2009 03:20 PM

If Hatchet is one of the "best" from the last 15 years the genre is in a lot of trouble :)

Some flicks of the top of my head that haven't been mentioned:

House Of 1000 Corpses
Ginger Snaps
Mordum
Sleepless
Gutterballs


I'm long overdue in checking out Let The Right One In

hacelikewhoa 01-06-2009 08:21 PM

For a while I refused to go to dvd. I had so many vhs I didn't want to have to buy them all over again...But my boyfriend ended up getting me A nightmare on Elm street box set and a dvd player the christmas before last. Now I have quite a collection on dvd. Sadly I got rid of all of my vhs had about 40 movies and sold them at the Record exchange and got 4 bucks out of them. :mad: I was moving though and wanted to get rid of things I didn't need anymore.

Next Christmas, you should try for a horseless carriage. I have heard they are the next big thing.. although some say they won't take off.


Sorry, I couldn't resist :D :D :D

nicklord1 01-07-2009 12:15 AM

I think movies that rely upon the dark and atmospheric scenes are cool in vhs , try watching say the thing and halloween on vhs then dvd .

P.s Elvis whats the gate about

nicklord1 01-07-2009 12:31 AM

in a few months i will compile my own list , ill make sure too send it to you and post it here.

Elvis_Christ 01-07-2009 12:45 AM

It's about a couple of kids who open a gateway to hell by playing a record backwards. Great cheesy fun!

Elvis_Christ 01-07-2009 12:46 AM

Cool keen to read it and check some shit out you think is killer.

Ferox13 01-07-2009 02:11 AM

Fulci's Naples Connection isn't bad - nasty and violent.

I like Blazing Magnum too.

nicklord1 01-07-2009 03:19 AM

i have seen the fulci movies but will make a mental note of blazing magnum.

Have you guys heard of a uk cop show series called the sweeney which is about the armed robbery police squad , worth a watch as its realistic etc.

I'm a huge fan of the Sweeney - one of the best COP shows ever....

The Mothman 01-08-2009 12:17 PM

Bava's Rabid Dogs aka Kidnapped is a really good one.

Oh yeah, VHS is awesome for this kind of stuff!

I have a bunch of 'em, but they're mostly just mainstream stuff. The only REALLY cool one that I have is Suspiria...pretty sure its ancient, from the look of the box. I bought it at a second hand shop for about $2, and it's easily become one of the highlights of my collection.

urgeok2 01-08-2009 05:27 PM

problem is VHS tapes are so big, plus prone to damage due to the very nature of how they play. plus they oxidize and go to hell after a while.

i understand the appeal of grain - but i also appreciate seeing a movie without tracking problems and actually being able to see what the hell is going on when someone's being chased through the woods with an axe - or in a dark dorm hallway.

if i wanted suspense without being able to see anything - i'd listen to old radio programs :)

The Mothman 01-08-2009 07:15 PM

do VHS tapes have regions like DVDs?

US has NTSC (and maybe Japan?) and the rest of the world has PAL. But most modern players will play everything.

No but different places in the world have different playing systems - Europe for the most part use PAL (except France and a few other countrys use Secam, I think)

USA/Canada and japan/Korea us NTSC.


I have 100's and 100's of old VHS ex rentals - I wish i could find the pics i had of em. They're all up in the attic at the moment. I have some pretty cool/rare ones ANTRO/ABSURD/LOVECAMP 7 etc etc.

I love the old 'Video Nasty' cover art.

nicklord1 01-09-2009 02:13 AM

if you ever have time ferox you take some pics of those rare movies they are always a laugh to look at. Plus there worth loads too , you should see how much they are worth and get them insured

nicklord1 01-09-2009 04:56 AM

Indeed.

Nick, you need to learn to read between the lines.

Coz we're f'kn deep that way. :cool:

Elvis_Christ 01-09-2009 05:40 PM

How is asking about horror movies irrelevant? I'd rather read threads like this than all the hot or not pics with dirty old men drooling over them and LOLcat bullshit.
