Snatch. (2001)

I always love watching this one. A real gem.

I liked Dark Ride, no rush to watch it again but it was enjoyable.

Meatball Machine
7/10
i bet im hard pressed to find anyone here who has seen, it, but i would highly reccomend it, its a blast. has a tetsuo feeling to it, except its rather goofy. lots of gore and laughs. reccomended.

Dumbland
7/10
strangest/stupidest thing i have ever seen. really funny.

8MM again.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Well, it's difficult for me to give a definitive rating on this film... I have a weakness for slasher flicks, so as long as it's not horrible terrible, chances are that I'll like it...

Strengths: The setting of the Dark Ride was definitely creepy. I am a huge fan of the antiquated Dark Rides, so it was really neat to use that as a haunted house setting. The slasher is also definitely scary, wearing the paper mache visage of one of the ride's characters, a little boy.

BUT

Weaknesses: Though I found the actual facade of the killer to be horrific, the scares didn't come from him. I was more jumping at the cheap shots (fake ghouls lurking around the corner, the animatronics of the ride jerking back and forth) than I was at the stalker. Also, while you definitely expect bad dialogue, this film was definitely no exception... The characters are two-dimensional and the eventual payoff left me feeling rather... cheated.

I give it three stars (where 1 is I hated it, 2 is I didn't like it, 3 I liked it, 4 I REALLY liked it, 5 I loved it), but I wouldn't necessarily recommend. I think that the positive rating comes more from enjoying slasher films (and I am a sucker for the escaped mental patient/ amusement park ride scenario).

Makes me almost want to see it again just thinking about it...

Not to mention, I REALLY loved the preview.

Hope that helps. Honestly, the best "new to me" slasher film that I've seen in the past 6 months... Black Christmas (the new one). The end was absolutely abysmal, but the film itself. Amazing.

Seen any good movies lately, Ush?

If you liked "Dark Ride", may I suggest......

What is it again?

I don't know what you mean.

Little Miss Sunshine

I have watched Wrong turn two yesterday and it was so horrible.

User comments from IMDB: A stylish slasher.

Oh, I am SO sold.

...

About to see 3 Horror flicks tonight as part of the 8 Films to Die For:

Unearthed
The Deaths of Ian Stone
Borderland


Will report back after recovering from 6 hours in a movie theater. Thank GOD I brought my lumbar support.

The Believer. As much as I liked American History X (and I know the subject matters of the two films aren't exactly the same), I just found this movie so much more powerful, and Gosling is amazing.

Sicko - 9/10
What can I say? I like Michael Moore's films. This time he exposing Health Care or "the lack of" Heath Care in the U.S.A. There are a lot of Health Insurance horror stories in the film... that are fucked up!!!! Sure, he only shows one side of the story, but that's the side I'm on. Moore loves to point the finger at the government, and so do I. :)

Mr. Brooks - 8/10

Deep Red

Great film. I'm on an Argento kick.;)

8/10

hmmm, your pic origanaly did not work. you know what I'm saying?

Certainly his best so far...but you never know what that man's gonna pull outta the hat next.

nothing a little edit can't fix ;)

Apocalypse Now (1979)

Remains one of my ten very favorite films of all time.

You know, I am pretty sure that I have never seen an Argento flick. :(


And the movies for tonight from Night ONE of 8 FILMS TO DIE FOR...

It is late and I am very tired, so it will be a short rundown for now...


1. Unearthed
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...earthed2-1.gif

This movie doesn't try to do anything novel; Monster movie ripping off Alien 3. Yes, Alien 3. Didn't bother ripping off either of the good ones... The script was poor, the direction horrible (the director made up for lack of budget by over-using the shaky cam), and the special effects were pathetic. I consider this movie essentially Alien 3 with slightly better CGI but in the desert on an Indian Reservation... I give it 2 stars out of 5.


2. The Deaths of Ian Stone
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...l/ianstone.jpg

The Matrix meets Dark City meets Groundhog Day... But not in a good way. At first glance, the concept seems intriguing and well thought-out. The scares are fantastic. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the first 2/3 of the movie was possibly some of the best horror film bits that I have seen... ever. The last 1/3 however... The movie seems to tack on inconsistent Hollywood themes as well as HORRIBLY written exposition. Considering how great the beginning of the movie was, the end was just... Terrible to take. I give it 2.5 stars, but only because the beginning was incredible. Otherwise, it would barely even get 1.

3. Borderland
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...borderland.gif

Wow. Seriously. Wow. I am actually going to add this to the "Incredibly Gory F*cked Up Movies" thread. Borderland is slow-going at first because it did not fit in with the previous two frenetic monster movies. It is the branch of horror that treads the waters of investigative noir with some elements of torture porn and revenge. I honestly recommend this film. Just keep in mind: It starts slow with an increeeeeeeeeeedibly cliched set up: But, oh, it gets good. REALLY good. I give it 4.5 out of 5.


WOW this is a long post. I think it's sleep time for me.

Remedy this situation.

Without a knowledge of Argento, Bava and Fulci, it is hard for me to accept you as a true horror fan;)

Alpha Dog

>>: B-

Flood Although this film had more than it's fair share of cliche characters I still enjoyed this Brit disaster movie.7/10

Oh, man... You know it's bad when your horror movie fanhood is getting called into question... :(

Send me a list of their more iconic must-see films and I'll add them to my Netflix Queue rightquick. *salutes*

Suspira's already there. :D

Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter.

The Wizard of Oz

Spider-Man 3

What'd you think?

Are these out for RENT?

Triple post... sorry. But yeah..... Dark Ride was ok but it ticked me off. IMO they showed the killer too much and it ruined the "where is he?" aspect. It could have been outstanding.

Great action, pretty funny, story was a tad too mushy, decent acting.


Not as good as the previous films(But what ever is?), but overall a fair installment.

6.9/10

I thought:

Best action
worst acting
worst hairdo

Not yet. They're part of After Dark's Horrorfest 8 Films to Die For, which just released into theaters last night.

Tonight's movies (leaving to see them in an hour!):
Lake Dead
Mulberry Street
Tooth and Nail

Dark Ride was actually one of the films from the same horror fest from last year, and I agree; I thought that all of the scares came from the mechanical fake creatures from inside the ride, not from the killer himself. Definitely took the scare out of him.

I don't know if it was the direction or....whatever it was, but it seemed like they didn't care. Almost as if they were too comfortable.


And yes, one of the things I found funny was the horrible hair.

His little strut down the street reminds me of a homo version of my father at that age.... It scared me way too much. I agree, they seemed like they couldn't care less.

Death at a funeral

A little slow to start with, but once they had gotten the character development out of the way it really kicked off.. A decent comedy for a change.

8/10

land of the dead
tremors (my parents had never seen it which I found hard to believe but they loved it)
frailty

The last movie I saw was "Next"
 

Next It's the new Nicholas Cage Movie, it was so so.:rolleyes:

The Ring is still the best
 

The last movie I saw was Kaw... it wasn't to bad I've seen better.

I've also just recently seen Hostel 2 have to say I wasn't to impressed with this one. Although I did like the first one,the 2nd one just did'nt turn my crank lol.I would like to hear some input on The Beyond I have read some good reviews and also some bad but would like to hear some more opinions.

94. The Beyond

The Beyond is a brilliant supernatural movie; the kind only an Italian master like Fulci could deliver. So the F/X look cheap these days. So what?! Eh, kids. You really have to search hard to find this kind of atmospheric horror any more. Beyond (no pun intended) its time, The Beyond is a creepy movie that should by all means enthuse audiences of all generations. - The Flayed One
