Highly recommend it (Susperia). It was more beautiful than I expected. I had a softer spot for that than I thought. I liked the whole film too, but the cinematography is special.

When a stranger calls - The first 20 minutes are pretty intense and scary and, apart from a few highlights, the rest feels like a bit underwhelming in comparison.

Totaly agree! I'd go a step further and say the fist 20 minutes is easily one of the best segments in horror history. The rest of the film is a dull curiosity. The ending scene wasn't bad, just seemed way too late. Tough to go somewhere after that opening... but yesh.

The Return of The Living Dead. I have a lot of mixed feelings about this movie. On the one hand I love it because it had some scary zombies and because I enjoyed the campy humor (like seeing a punk chick with a death fetish dance naked in the graveyard before later becoming a naked zombie). But on the other hand I hated it because I felt like it stole George Romero's spotlight away and it got better reviews than Day of the Dead (which I felt was an underrated film). I don't feel like it deserved to do better than George Romero's movies.

I recently watched it and it is a beautiful and shocking horror movie. I started a topic about the limited poster I purchased.

I still need to see the original. I've only seen the remake which I thought was ok for a few reasons.

That is a cool poster! It's not what I expected... it seems rather positive, I don't sense any impending horror.

You're in for a great treat when you see the original When A Stranger Calls!

I haven't seen the re-make, might be interesting to see what they do with it.

I haven't seen the remake yet either, but I remember either terrible reviews or the movie popping up on one of those worst remakes video on youtube.

THE TERMINATOR (1984). Saw this in a second run theatre and Me, My fiancée and Best Man were all on the edge of our seats. Watched it yesterday (quite a few years since) and while it is a little dated concerning technology, it's still one hell of a thrill ride. Really good cast and neat seeing Brian Thompson (X FILES) and a young Bill Paxton (as usual, making the most of his screen time) in early roles. *****

Yep, 5/5 stars. Film has a heck of a lot of style. Back then, I'd sometimes dress like Reese. ::big grin::

Yep....sometimes id dress like the Terminator. ::wink:: Loved that movie. I have a thing for 80's night club scenes and there was a good one in that. The whole movie was a blast.
