Was this any good?

AIRPORT '77 (1977). A Huge jet loaded with priceless art-and a great cast as well- is hijacked, flown off course and while flying low to avoid radar detection, clips an Oil rig and crashes into The Bermuda Triangle and sinking under the waves. Will the passengers/crew be rescued before water breaks through, crushes the machine or oxygen runs out?

The basic premise of this is silly, to be sure, but really like most of the cast, Special effects are better than You would expect and I found it enjoyable enough to watch to the end. >>>>>>>>>>>>SPOILER>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Christopher Lee has mentioned He enjoyed this as He is sort of a Hero, but try as I might, couldn't picture Him as an experienced Scuba Diver::confused::, much less married to nasty complaining Lee Grant, lovely as She is. He truly has the patience of Job with her, although some of his looks had me convinced the Red Eyes and Fangs were about to pop out::big grin:: And the cheers both Me and Mrs FD let out with Lee being sucker punched by Brenda Vacarro to calm her down..had heard it was the same in the theaters::cool::! ***

Masterpiece. ::love::

Trilogy of terror

I finally got to see Lucio Fulci's "Aeginma,' which is a comedy horror anti-bullying film, and is very well done with so many awesome looking kill scenes with the spirit of a dying victim of a college prank gone terribly wrong getting back at all those involved with it. This is like taking "Carrie" to a whole new level. There is also a lot of great action, stunt work, props, gore, drama, dialogue, scenery, with great smooth editing and a killer lively soundtrack on the background to provide a great lively mood for each scene as it goes along. This are also plenty of artsy and gory scenes throughout the movie as well, which are overall well done. This is yet another example on why Fulci is considered one of the better of the lower budget horror film makers who can take a low budget horror film, and not only make it look good, but also make it look like it is on a much bigger budget than it actually is. This is also highly recommend for fans of the older school Italian giallo horror films. ::danger::

I also looked back at "The House That Dripped Blood," and it is even more amazing than I remember it. It also has a lot more great humor than I remembered. The ending I won't describe to avoid spoilers for the few who have not already seen it is too hilarious and timeless. This film is just another example of why Amicus is still holding up, still to this day, more than most horror anthology films, including ones from more recent years. ::cool::

Thanks, nice to be remembered :-)

Ok, I gotcha. That's kind of what I was wondering as far as The Beyond.

Fulci described The Beyond as "absolute cinema". It's "like" a nightmare. You have a setting in this case a house over a gateway to hell and then you have some zombies. The rest is just a series of events that happen. Much like in a dream you can be in one room with something happening and then walk into another and something else is going on. It's random to an extent, but shaped and/or tied together sometimes by the setting. That's kind of what is going on with The Beyond. It's not that it's a dream and it's not a film with a definite plot, it's here's a setting and here's some things that happened. Just a brief glimpse of time at a particular location. It's definitely an acquired taste but I guess because I can relate to the nightmare like aspect of it I find it one of his best works.

As far as Argento's Opera well, maybe because I actually listen to opera a good deal I enjoyed the story line a little more than some others, but I thought some of his ideas, like the needles beneath the eyes so you can't close your eyes to things were really inventive and statements often about life in general. I showed it to several friends over the years who were horror film enthusiasts and usually along with Tenebre and Suspiria it ranked among their favorites from Argento's catalogue.

But either way, thanks, it's been a while since I've been on and it's nice to talk about some stuff like this. I'm trying to find a little more time to pop in once in a while and see what's going on. I'm so out of the horror loop these days I've missed pretty much the last decade, although a lot of people say I haven't missed much ::big grin::
