I've been hitting the old school cheesey/comedy horror of late. Here's tonight's effort:

Red X?

I've seen that mentioned a lot..



Now... who's the hilarious dude in your gif? It's quite hypnotizing. :D

The Woman in Black is awesome! One of only a handful of made-for-TV movies that is actually scary. And it has one of the scariest individual scenes I can recall.

You can usually count on the Europeans to do made-for-TV right. At least the Brits are doing the remake so it should be halfway decent.

I actually have no idea, it's just a .gif I found. been trying to find out for a while now, because any movie that left that in the final cut, is a movie I need to see.

I love Bay of Blood for its effects and groundbreaking early gore, but it annoys me to no end that Bava threw in a ridiculous unrelated subplot of kids partying in an abandoned house just to murder them. Why not just make them some of the heirs' kids or something? It's like two different movies spliced together.

Pam Grier is so hot in that. And the violence is ruthless.

These are all favorites of mine except the awful DLITB. Did you watch them yet?

I Drink Your Blood has some amazing early gore and is a terrific piece of sleaze.
TCM2's gory as hell and tons of fun. And Carnival of Souls is an influential creepy classic.

wait.....there's porn on the internet?:eek:

actually this is the only forum I participate in.


really


I just happen to be a red blooded American male who like boobs

simple as that

All terrorists can say that.

You're sure it's the end of a movie?

Could easilly be the first kill, faik.

He didn't say it was the last scene, he just said he hoped it was in "the final cut." The final cut is a term that means it made it in the finished version of the film.

It's okay, we know English isn't your first language.

:p

One of my favorite films. Darkly humorous, bleak, surreal, and haunting.

Thank you ever so kindly, sir.

:D:D

Though it starts with the final credits of 1st film "The Human Centipede (First Sequence)", but then the camera pulls back & we see this is playing on a laptop and the lead on this sequel Martin, seating in a toll booth in a parking garage is watching the film. And we gradually become know that Martin is a freaking fan of the original/1st movie....and thus HC 2: FULL SEQUENCE is not a follow up of the first film as the story this time revolves around in the "real world" and the first film (1st Sequence) comes here with a reference as a "Film"; not some events that happened some time ago. But an actress played a role in the 1st film reappear in this sequel by just portraying herself as an actress.

I meant final cut as in, they left it in the finished movie, and not said "that's fucking ridiculous, cut that bit out".

**Edit** - just saw that someone else already cleared that up. Never mind, move along people, nothing to see here.

And whaddya know, seems I wasn't looking hard enough. One quick ask around my facebook friends and it was found within 21 minutes.

How lame...

Hilarious stuff! :D

Ditto.

That's hilarious!

Eh, nothing special but not bad.

Batman: Year One (2011)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...EARONE2011.jpg

Good one but not as good as Under the Red Hood. Liked that Catwoman short film (nice cleavage show off!) too.

Baby Shower (2011)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...aby-shower.jpg

A slasher-occult flick from Chile with some decent gore contents. Not bad.

Attack the Block (2011) - When I was watching I didn't realize that it was from the producers of Shaun of the Dead, and it felt really similar (not as good) but the same vibe was being given off. It was a fun movie, not scary, sometimes it was funny, sometimes it gave a little message about race/class. But overall, it didn't stick with one thing, which I think hurt it, because it felt kind of messy. It was a fun watch though. If you're a fan of Shaun of the Dead, give this a try.

LOVE this film. That woman is so CRRRAZZY! Saw this a few years back in one of my film classes and have been recommending it to everyone who hasn't seen it.

"Quantez" (1957)
-Fred MacMurray, Dorthy Malone

Plot: Classicflix

John Coventry,and a gang of robbers trying to escape the law and cross the Mexican border.. The outlaws manage to elude the law and navigate the rough terrain, but the flight comes to a dangerous halt in the mysterious abandoned town of Quantez.

Coventry and company are forced to stave off an Indian attack. As their enemies get closer, tempers flare, betrayals set in, and lines are drawn between the men.

Phantom's Review: Very well acted character drama with an interesting concept. The only problem with this film is that it's almost totally action less and when some action does happen (towards the end) it feels forced. Not a bad movie, just not all that great.

Savage Streets-average US revenge style exploitation film with Linda Blair (the bitch from the Exorcist)doing an ample job given the limited dialogue/acting/exploitation. Ok I'm being mean there was one disturbing scene but that's nothing compared to other exploitation pix. I have no idea whether this film was meant to be fun or taken serious-I suppose your view on that will depend on how much you enjoy watching Linda Blair having a catfight with a cheerleader with naked chicks in the showers.

Yeah, Gloria Swanson was incredible in that film! She conjures so many feelings in the viewer toward her character; it's really astounding. I love how Billy Wilder turns Hollywood in on itself, even in the casting, most people playing themselves or versions of themselves: Gloria Swanson, a silent film star; Erich von Stroheim, a German silent film director; Buster Keaton, silent film star; Hedda Hopper, gossip columnist; Cecil B. DeMille; etc. Really just an endlessly fascinating and brilliant work.

Better delete this post before Elvis gets here :-)

Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)

I need to see that film again - It's been a while. I remember seeing it on Broadway, which was OK, but the film is really amazing...

OK - So it's been a while since I've posted updates here... Here goes...


Rammbock: Berlin Undead (2010)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...l/RAMMBOCK.jpg


Pretty average and derivative zombie film. To be honest, I don't typically mind if a film is derivative (example: 2004's Shutter), that is if the film has enough to keep me interested. In the case of Shutter, I thought that it had solid acting and while it was "just another Asian ghost movie," I thought it had some good jumps/scares, good acting and writing, and was well done.

In the case of Rammbock, to be honest, I really didn't care for our main character to begin with, so that makes me lose interest almost immediately. I also didn't really care about our supporting characters. Want to see a good outbreak movie in an apartment complex? Watch [rec] or even Quarantine (I don't care what you say; I liked the remake) - But you can skip Rammbock.

2/5.

Seconds Apart (2011)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...condsapart.jpg


Baaaahaha - Ok, it's hard to put how I feel about this movie into words... There is so much wrong with it - It's INCREDIBLY self-conscious and over-the-top (but not in a humorous way), it takes itself waaaaaaaay too seriously, it's rampant with not only horror tropes, but noir tropes as well (EVIL TWINS, MEDICAL EXPERIMENTS, COP LOOKING FOR REDEMPTION), the reveal is seriously insane... And why on EARTH would they think that casting ORLANDO JONES as a bitter detective was a GOOD IDEA?!

But... At the same time... For all of these pitfalls, the movie was actually incredibly enjoyable, even if in some odd, ironic sort of way. I kinda want someone like Fortunado or Roshiq to check it out because I think that they would find it as entertaining as I did.

It's a mess of a film, but ultimately I sat through it and enjoyed what I had just watched... Even if only ironically.

(I don't think I can give a star rating to this)

YellowBrickRoad (2010)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...wbrickroad.jpg


Buh - Talk about another mess... I actually really like the premise and the sort-of found-footage vibe:

Quote:

1940: the entire population of Friar, New Hampshire walked up a winding mountain trail, leaving everything behind. 2008: the first official expedition into the wilderness attempts to solve the mystery of the lost citizens of Friar.

The acting was just so/so, the pacing was horrendous, it didn't really effectively create the creepy atmosphere that it was going for (so many scenes where it was so so close, but nooooooooot right), and the end made me bang my head against the wall.

It feels like an art school project for horror fans by horror fans and the boyfriend definitely enjoyed it more than I did, but the whole time I just felt as though it were missing critical components... Kinda like spaghetti sauce without tomatoes...

Scream 4 (2011)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...eam4poster.jpg


Meh. Pretty forgettable, but better than the third one, I guess?

I appreciated the beginning of the movie, the "opening scenes" from the Stab films were entertaining, particularly the scene with Anna Paquin and Kristen Bell.



The thing is, the beginning of the film is clearly critiquing poor horror movie franchises while, of course, being one - I realize the concept of self-consciousness, but I really didn't see the point or need for another Scream movie - I'd prefer that the money goes into something new. Sigh.

Last seen film was The Human Centipede II: Full Sequence.

It was terrible in every way. As expected.

They do say curiosity kills the cat. It almost killed me!

The Last Broadcast (1998)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6..._broadcast.jpg


I actually really enjoyed this. A lot of people compare it to Blair Witch but it takes the approach of the documentary instead of flat-out "found footage" - It plays like an extended episode of Unexplained Mysteries or the like... Now, depending on your preference, you may find this approach (and this movie) to be incredibly boring... My boyfriend did. I, however, enjoyed it a lot - It's not a perfect movie by any means (the ending, while the statement was interesting, was a little silly), but I enjoyed it for what it was.

Not a lot of people on this board liked the movie Lake Mungo (like I did)... If you did, I recommend this.

3/5.

Trick 'R Treat (2008)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...rickrtreat.jpg


My second time watching this movie, and it certainly doesn't lose its charm over repeat viewings. I really love how it plays with the myths and legends surrounding Halloween and also plays with the viewer's expectations. It's a great homage to classics like Tales from the Crypt or Creepshow. That being said, if you're not a fan of anthology horror films, stay away (my boyfriend isn't and didn't really like this movie).

I find it clever, well-made, and there are parts that still eek me out or make me squirm. I think it's a total blast and the perfect film for the die-hard horror fan.

Watch it if you haven't already.

4.5/5.

Grave Encounters (2011)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ers_poster.jpg


I really liked this. I am also finding out about myself that I really enjoy the "found footage" style of film, so as long as the movie is relatively well-done I'll get some enjoyment out of it.

The acting is solid. The atmosphere is definitely creepy (made me jump a few times). The special effects, while silly at times, are forgivable because I think that this movie really does succeed to separate and alienate our (anti?)-heroes, so their fear is our own.

It's a pretty simple film-crew-goes-into-a-haunted-asylum-and-horror-ensues-found-footage-film and I'm sure that a lot of people would call it "derivative" or "a rip-off of Blair Witch" or something to that extent... But I don't care - I thought it was well done and it creeped me out, so I recommend it if you're looking for a good solid little scare.

3.75/5.


...


Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...vity_three.jpg


I thoroughly enjoyed this movie - I thought that the acting was spectacular (I typically HATE HATE HATE child actors, but these little girls were fantastic), the scares were solid, and the ending/reveal was fantastic.

I could care less about the complaints of "HOW DOES THIS FILM EVEN CONNECT TO THE FIRST TWO" because, quite frankly, I actually think that it could stand on its own as a solid haunting/demon film. I really liked the ending; I thought that it was well-done and truly horrifying (nothing necessarily new to the horror genre as a whole, per se, but I thought it was well done) and there were honestly scenes where I had to grip my boyfriend's hand out of fear.

I thought that the movie had perfect pacing - While I think that the second film might have burned a bit too slowly, I think that the pacing in PA3 really brought the threat in soon and escalated it well.

Plus, I thought the special effects were great - Clearly you have someone at the helm who loves horror and who loves to play tricks on the audience members - Bravo to them.

All-in-all, an enjoyable, believably creepy, and well-done movie. Definitely recommended.

4/5.

Oh, Chrono!

I can only agree with you on Trick 'r Treat & YBR. But Grave Encounters?!? I didn't find it creepy or care for the characters. Very average with cheap scares & effects (except for that rat eating scene...they done that well).

And I did enjoy Rammbock & Seconds Apart and also liked Scream 4 as I hadn't any expectation to get blew away from a 4th installment of a slasher franchise, I guess. It was simple fun with known formula. As a sequel it was at least better than SAW 4-7, IMO.

I haven't seen Last Broadcast & PA3 yet.

I LOVED Lake Mungo! The Last Broadcast was very good too, until the ending, when I wanted to put my fist through the TV screen, I was so angry. They totally ruined a perfectly adept mockumentary. They should have just kept the doc format running all the way the way through, kept up the mystery, and left the ending open.

Evilspeak - I loved it. Typical bullied-kid-gets-revenge story, but with Apple II's and demons! Actually brings back fond memories of my teen years.

A Serbian Film - I wasn't sure what to expect with all the hype. I decided it pretty much lives up to its reputation for the surprise ending alone, if not so much by the rest of the film. There are certainly a few over-the-top scenes which are too goofy to be effective. Overall, though, one of the more disturbing films I've seen, and well-made. Some very nice gore to boot.

Baha - I liked Grave Encounters. I really did. I thought it was a solid little indie addition to the found footage style... But I can see why others didn't.

Tell me more about how you felt about Seconds Apart!! What a strange, scattered movie, huh???? Couldn't stop watching the disaster though...

TOTALLY agree... I get the point that they were making, but thought that pulling away from the mockumentary and tearing down the fourth wall like that was a mistake... But I enjoyed the first bits enough to just ignore it.

Glad you liked Lake Mungo... I thought it was so well done and genuinely unsettling.

Tell me more. I'm honestly curious with people's reactions to both movies... I'll probably never see them because I know they'd eek me out too much but, like you said, curiosity... What made it so awful?

Well, for a start, there are so many plot holes it's really hard to ignore them. The tag line of "100% medically inaccurate" is absolutely spot on. The victims would have been dead long before any of the actual procedure started. Plus, you never get to know any of the victims well enough to really care about them, so the film is totally devoid of emotion.

The acting is awful. It's probably very low budget (I can't seem to find budget details for it online) but even so, the Average Joe in the street could put in a better performance than the "cast" collected in HCII. Maybe, like first one, the one decent performance came thanks to the antagonist; Dr Heiter in the first and Martin in the second. Martin doesn't speak, which make him an interesting character I suppose.

There is also some nice references to the first film, which I won't say too much about in case of spoiling it for anyone, but used in any half-decent way the technique could be effective. However, Tom Six fails here.

But I watched it and will watch the third one, because it's something a lot of people will love to hate!

Just have the sick bag ready if you do watch!

Normally evil twin premise seem cliched and predictable but at the very beginning; Seconds Apart comes with an interesting opening scene. There is no build up, we are thrust into this crazy story as we witness some boys become the subjects of the twins' interesting "project". It does not let down from here on in as the deaths become stranger and the storyline becomes more warped.

This film would have fallen apart if the two twin leads did not have the right look or the talent to back it up; fortunately both the brothers were impressive. They mirror each other exactly, making the scenes where they terrorize classmates all more chilling. When weaknesses start occurring in one's personality it's really nice to see how they play off each other and as their relationship change.
Though Orlando Jones is barely recognizable in his role as Detective but he wasn't terrible either. The problem mainly lies in his character like with the feeling of guilt and responsibility after his wife's death and this case seems to be a personal mission for redemption…now that's pretty cliched.
What is great about this film is that nothing really goes in a usual way; it has all the makings of a generic thriller, but the story did kept me watching to see how it is resolved at the end. The storyline with the detective is fairly predictable and it resolves itself the way you would imagine, but the end sequence was well orchestrated as the things were heating up well before they climax to a blistering end.

Overall, a surprisingly good entry from AfterDark Originals.

Last seen as our yearly 2nd Eid Holidays starts from today...

Killer Elite (2011)

Pretty solid action extravaganza but I don't see why Sir Di Nero took that part.

It turned out better than my expectation. Not bad.

Satanico Pandemonium (1975)

A Keira Knightley look-alike beautiful nun intellectually goes spoiled & turns into a sexually depraved serial killer! Quite an exceptional Nunspoitation flick, loved it.

Smile (2009)

"Whoever that camera captures in its evil pictures...dies!":D

Horrible acting, horrible dialog but not too bad entirely. At least kudos to the team for managing a foreign location at the beginning, loved those beautiful sceneries of Morocco. Found it kinda entertaining near the end...specially the finale comes with a bit of a Final Destination style.
