Dario Argento's Inferno (1980)

"Help me! The rats are eating me alive!"

Sorry dude, just wasnt for me.

Didnt like how it wanted to go in a whole new direction...#3 did the same thing, but still aknoledged the continuity of the series and actually really improved upon the first two. This one just fell flat IMO, and completly ruined the Tommy Jarvis character, not to mention it totally ignored #5.

Another thing: Going over-the-top can be a good thing in this kind of movie if it's handled well (Take TCM2 for example), but McLoughlin just couldnt pull it off.

You're right though, I probably should give it another chance a year or two down the road...didnt like Part II the first time that I watched it, but now it's one of my favourites...you never know.

Night Of The Living Dead.

fucking classic shit that. :)

The Shimizu-Gellar one. Dont think Raimi had much to do with that movie cept lend his name to the producers list.

He owns (co-owns?) the company that produced it, Ghost House. Thats the extent of his involvement.

Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood


Well at least it was better than Part VI...still not on par with any of the first 5 though. Hodder is a badass Jason, but otherwise there's really nothing special here.

Next up: What else? Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, of course:p

The Forbidden Planet

Dr. Strangelove



A day off work spent in front of TCM with two classics.

The Thing.I love this movie.It's probably in my top ten favourite movies.

Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan


The best since Part III as far as I'm concerned. Cheesy in places, but doesnt let it get out of hand like in Part VI. Really, really enjoyed this.

--------

Alas Jason, our journey together must be forced into reprieve. Shame your other two movies couldnt be packaged with the boxset...oh well, it was a pretty fun ride, and I'll see you again as soon as some Ebay auctions close:)

Having watched all of the first 8 films in the past 2 weeks (Most in the past few days), here is my ranking of the series so far (Spaces representing how close they came to being as good as the one above)):


Part III

Part II
Friday the 13th

The Final Chapter
Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan
A New Beginning


Part VII: The New Blood


Part VI: Jason Lives

Haunted Prison on Sci-Fi...not too good :mad:

Damn...that title is right up there with Snakes on a Plane.

Saw III in about 2 hours.

I will post my short review when I get home.

"Pulse" (The american remake)


Thought it was pretty good actually.

Sure, the ending sucked a little and the scares wasn´t quite as scary as they were in the original. But i still thought it was a good horror movie. Way better than "White Noise".

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure ... had't seen it in years - still a lot of fun.

the absurdity of Napleon being thrown out of a bowling alley - very funny :)

"The woods"

I don´t understand why people didn´t like this one.

I thought it was pretty good from beginning to end. The first half was the best though.

My bad.

I see that most people DID like it.

Alrighty then. :)

American Haunting
By Dawn
Feast

Waterloo:D

Everytime I drive past San Dimas I shout out "San Dimas high school footbal rules!"

a friend and i lived on a street in toronto called Montrose for a year or so ..

every time we walked by the sign we'd say (together)
"MONTROSE" and do the little guitar move and make the little hi pitched guitar noise ..

(for those of you way too young that care - montrose is some old 70's guitar oriented band)

Jeepers Creepers.

"The Beast"

Hilariously bad..... In a bad way..

"Feast"

Feast kicks ass.

Good gore, good effects, good pace, good humor and good acting and with more than a handful surprises up it´s sleave.

Highly recommendable to all "From dusk till dawn" fans out there. :cool:

A Tale of Two Sisters.

This was the first time I'd seen it, and I absolutely loved it. This is what horror movies are supposed to be...scary.

Blood Feast 2
7.8/10

just like his old films, this film has a clear and present 1960's feel to it. even the way people dress. just like his old films, only 5 times the gore, not for the faint of heart. all in all, this was a fun film.



Nikos The Impaler

9/10

Schnaas does it again. This is comic style goriness at its best. every other scene was a gruesome death. special appearances by Lloyd Kaufman and....Hitler. and of course both of them get brutally torn to pieces. this movie kicks ass. tons of fun. Go Schnaas!!

last seen movie

Jason Goes To Hell.Tonight I'm watching the original Carrie And The Excorcist both for the first time.

Re. The Exorcist:

Read the book. The movie is good, but the book blows it right out of the water.

Land of the Dead
Braindead..... never was a film so appropriately titled :rolleyes:
The Brood
Evil Dead.... you gotta love the plasticine and mushy peas, LMAO

Wow I never knew there was a book of The Excorcist.I might pick it up if I see it.

Nightmare In A Damaged Brain.

appoproitly titled a video nasty.

It's by William Peter Blatty, who also write the screenplay of the movie.

"Captain Kronos"

Funny to think, that i once as a child found this movie frightening.

Still a damn good vampire movie, even though the swords coreographies are laughable bad.
