Evil Dead 2: Still awesome

Leprechaun's Revenge: Typical SyFy material but a fun/stupid monster movie anyway

Magic (1978)
Thanks to Bob Grey and Dara for the rec!
I'll admit it was a little too slow placed but far intentionally funnier than I expected. Bit of a head wreck of a film this. It's weird you think things are going to happen and they do but then all of a sudden something major happens without warning and you're wondering if you missed a scene but you didn't. I don't think I can explain this but I'll try its almost as if the film is purposefully trying to misdirect the viewer's eyes as Anthony Hopkins' character does when he is performing. This is very clever and does indeed mess with your head. Also the dialogue between the lead and the dummy is lightning fast and parts of it just didn't seem to make any sense but that could be because there's far too much to take in one viewing but I'm not sure if I will watch it again cos of the uneven pacing that is very jarring to watch. All in all though I really wanted to see this film so I'm glad that I did because there really is nothing quite like it but some may find the viewing to be frustrating.

This is probably my favorite slasher of all time. Incredible, totally-nutso film.

RJ Bland 09-28-2012 12:30 AM

I watched "Quarantine 2" last night. A promising first act was kind of undone by predictable, formulaic story that followed. Shame.

Glad you enjoyed it! I was terrified of it as a child!.I love revisiting films from my youth (the shuttered room,the beast must die,vault of horror,asylum ,theatre of blood etc ) as the stuff I found horrifying back then often has me in stitches today. Films such as 'Dont look now'+ 'The black narcissus' still terrify me ~its great when you find a film that has a timeless fear factor

Frat House Massacre is a low budget slasher with plenty of gore, nudity/sex and a surprising funny-weird twist at the end. I think Elvis & Fearonsarms already seen it before & talked about it quite positively earlier in the thread.

The Lost Coast Tapes is found footage flick about bigfoot; boring & below average, avoid it.

Red Lights comes with a great cast...De Niro, Sigourney Weaver, Cillian Murphy, Toby Jones & Elizabeth Olsen; offering a seemingly interesting plot that eventually (& bit frustratingly) turns into quite a simple one about a team of paranormal investigators Margaret Matheson (Sigourney Weaver) and her assistant Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy) facing a tough challenge against a world-renowned psychic Simon Silver (De Niro) who has resurfaced years after his toughest critic mysteriously passed away. I really wanted to like it (mainly for the cast) but it delivered nothing spectacular at the end. A decent but average & mildly entertaining thriller.

Not seen this in since it came out and it stood the test of time well. Enjoyed it immensely. I think reviews kinda dismissed it as a Welsh Trainspotting but this definitely has an identity of its own. Rhys Ifans and his real life both play 'the twins' - 2 drug fuelled, joyriding delinquients who get up in a world of bent coppers, dognapping and karaoke.

It has a great soundtrack too.

harry potter was a shit person for the main character.but i liked this movie,been awhile since i watched a good ghost flick,especially one that didnt have to use any gore at all really to be scary

rosmarys baby

first time iv seen this

Dara 09-29-2012 02:50 AM

I watched The Raid..loads of temple clacking,spinal injuries and kick ass moves.I thoroughly enjoyed it!.Good for a beery night in ..a film that requires no thought but is pleasing on the eye.

Anthropophagus 09-29-2012 03:07 AM

Last night i watched the Avenger Assemble flic and felt deflated to be honest.It was a good film but way too long.Long parts of it were dull and not needed.When the action started i was a little bored of it.

Ok,but nothing to rave about.

I felt the same way about it.

Munger Road (2012)

Quote:

In the small town of St. Charles, four teens drive to the remote Munger Road section with a video camera, hoping to capture evidence of a local legend that says if you put your car in neutral on the railroad tracks, ghosts of little children will push you safely out of harm's way. Meanwhile, a psychopath who murdered six kids in the area years ago has just escaped from prison, and the town sheriff and deputy starts looking here & there to find him before an annual Festival starts the very next day. When the teens' car dies and their cell phones fails to get any reception, they soon encounter a shadowy figure that begins picking them off one by one. The cops, meanwhile, unravel secrets from the town's past in an effort to find not only the killer, but also the those 4 teens...before it's too late.

Though this slow-burn, low budget slasher (with some supernatural elements) offers a disappointing "to be continued" ending, but liked the way they treated genre's cliched "the night he came home" sort of theme with having almost zero onscreen killing/violence. The decent cast & its atmospheric tension driven approach actually kinda worked pretty well till the very end which surely will piss off many viewers. It all just needed another 5 to 10 minutes to reveal the 'twist' adequately & then could offer a hint for the sequel. Anyway, overall not bad.

Like the other recent Britt drama/horror Kill List, The Devil's Business also concerns a pair of hitmen (but surely this is a better film than KL)...pro-old hand trigger man Pinner and his ambitious young sidekick Cully break into a rural home at night, awaiting the return of owner Kist, whom their gangland boss Bruno wants dead, with no questions asked.

With relatively short running time, small cast, limited domestic setting and convincing performances from the cast, this is a pretty well executed low-budget, mostly dialog driven Britt chiller that can be a worthy look for the old school genre fans.

Recommended.

The best bit was when Hulk fucked up Loki.That was pleasing!

I Drink Your Blood (1971)

A favorite of mine.

Posher778 10-01-2012 07:40 AM

Easy A - 7.5/10

The Avengers- 9/10

The Tall Man - 6/10
I guess I liked this one. It wasn't what I was expecting at all. It's really more of a drama than a suspense, and more of a suspense than a horror, so many people here would hate it. It wasn't a bad movie, it just wasn't what I wanted it to be. I forgot that Jessica Biel was a good actress though, she was very believable.

The Thing (2011) is on HBO this month. I'm going to see if my original opinion on it changed. I watched an hour last night and it still feels off compared to the classic Carpenter version.

Well of course it's off. It's not great, but at least it paid homage to the original without stomping on it. It at least had a few gruesome kills and good music.

But it's off in the wrong way. I did a review about it earlier about how it tries to be both a remake and a prequel. That in the end, it's a movie that wasn't needed. But I'm going to watch it a few more times to see if my opinion changes. But usually I have a feel for these things.

You know what's weird-watching it now I couldn't remember a single thing about it (besides Hopkins and the dummy) so it was like watching a new movie. I guess as a kid I mustn't have watched the whole thing and was intrigued by the title which is bound to grab a kid's attention. But I am very glad to have seen it. I just got a copy of Horror Hospital in full uncut form which I do remember scared the hell out of me as a kid. I haven't watched it yet but when I do later tonight it will be interesting to see what I make of it now after all this time.

roshiq 10-02-2012 04:23 AM


Like Under the Red Hood & the recent Superman Vs the Elite, this is another superb addition to the DC-WB animated film series. But damn! the film also made me quite frustrated as I haven't read Miller's original 4-part issue The Dark Knight Returns series yet! So did a bad thing...read about it briefly on wikipedia and get all the major spoilers for the next part which made me even more excited about Part 2...cause surely that's going to be a brutally epic film for the BATFANs!
