I can't see how you can't think RZ's first 2 film are outstanding. He created a bunch of amazing characters and dialogue that we will be quoting for years.
I do think his films have faults but with regard to the 2 I mention they their weak points are neglect able to the over all product.

Torture porn....Saw(cliche) , Movies with constant scenes similar to the revenge scenes in I Spit On Your Grave and containing no worthy story.

Yea, That's most of them. I've had my kids bikes stolen a lot so I always try to catch someone who's doing it. 3 weeks ago someone stole my 4 yr old's plastic basketball goal from the yard. I had his sitting next to a normal one so when I play he can too.

I think it would depend on the circumstances what you would do in that situation. You don't get the police to come just by saying "I heard a noise"... and you can't just ignore it either if you think you might be threatened. So what do you do... you try to figure out where the sound is coming from. What I WOULDN'T do would be to open the door, leave the house with the door wide open and yell "HELLO!"... as it's been seen countless times in horror movies.

Edit: One night someone was messing with the lock in the door of my apartment, and although I did have my phone in my hand, ready to dial the police, I banged on the door and yelled "I've called the police!"... in case the guy thought I wasn't home and I could scare him off like that... which I did. It turned out to be a neighbour who had mistaken my door for his own, but he did panic and run out of the building, losing his key on the floor on his way out so he couldn't get back in LOL!

Yes, no sense in being bold and foolhardy. Sneak outside and feel the rush of the beast or ghoul lying in wait in the bush. We can all use some excitement in our lives!

My solution is I have filled a deep moat outside my castle with live gators.

Trashy crap mashups like Sharknado,or Octoshark,the double headed shark versus the three headed goldfish,Squid shark.........you get my drift.They are all childishly brain numbingly cheap and have no place in horror or any other medium for that matter.

They have no merit whatsoever,they are not funny or `worth a night in with a few tinnies`.To the producers of such crap..............Stop making them and fecking grow up.

If I have to do any investigating of an unknown noise I'll just have to walk out with my machete. Turn the tables on 'em haha

I heard some noise in my old apartment one time while taking a shower, I got out and grabbed my pistol (which at the time I was out of bullets) and started cocking it really loud and went searching around. There was nothing but after all said and done I stood there like wtf would I really do with an unloaded gun?

Yeah... you don't get time to think, you just react...

I enjoy some of these films - Megapiranha was especially fun..You could use 'childishly brain numbingly cheap' to discribe a bunch of 'cult' classics like Robot Monster, All of Ed Woods stuff, The Giant Claw, The Killer SHrews - do you hate these too.

Anthropophagus 10-08-2013 09:49 AM

I think when they where made it was all about lack of money but with real ambition,Ed Wood was a dreadful director we know that but he had heart.

The latest craze on these mashups are just dumb,plain and simple.It is simply an excuse to churn out some gibberish in hope that someone will watch them.I dont.

And as long as i have at least one ounce of a brain cell in my head i never will.
