Dracula Has Risen From the Grave

"Trick r Treat" (2007)

Plot: IMDB
Five interwoven stories that occur on the same block, on the same night. A couple finds what happens when they blow a jack o' lantern out before midnight, a high school principal has a secret life as a serial killer, a college virgin might have met the right guy for her, a group of mean teens play a prank that they take too far, and a hermit is visited by a special trick or treater.

Phantom's Review: Let's face it guys, as Horror fans, we have to sit thru a lot of crap looking for something that's good to watch. But every now and then a film comes along and makes it all worth while, for me "Trick r Treat" was one of those rare little gems. This is a great movie. Terrific acting, a superb story that blends several interlocking stories together, very atmospheric. It's a nice blend of scares, gore and humor that really captures the "spirit " of Halloween. I think this film is going to go on the list of yearly treats that I watch. Highly recommended.

All I can say is that you obviously have poor taste in horror movies, at least as far as I'm concerned. I'm not a big fan of "found footage" films but V/H/S was actually decent, you must be a hipster.

The Cabin in the Woods: Really enjoyed this one, proper popcorn movie. I thought the 'excuse' for following the typical slasher set-up was inspired. It does a great job of walking the line between giving the viewer what they want/ expect while still twisting enough to keep it feeling fresh and innovative. The best thing about this flick is it shows that you can satirise a genre while still being creative and offering a fresh approach... Pastiche cinema is largely the norm these days and its often an excuse for mediocrity, so its nice to see it done with some style for a change.

SPOILER:


Totally didn't see the cameo from Sigourney Weaver comming, which was awesome & loved the merman death scene...Was one of those scenes you see comming from a mile away but still can't contain your excitment over.

Quality flick, its definatley one I'll be adding to my collection and watching again. :cool:

Nope and nope


To try and define someone's taste over not liking yet another found footage film is just silly. Sure there were some good original bits, but I didn't find it appealing. I don't really care what your opinion of me is either way.

Your right of course, I reacted to you saying that people who liked it were fanboys, which I'm am far from, and I shouldn't have. I apologize.

He does have poor taste, but I'm the only one who gets to tell him. :p

VHS was amazing in my opinion, but I can see how it's really not for everyone. Some parts were pretty abrasive, and others were a little slow. If you don't like either of those things then it's probably a lot less fun.

shame on you

your soo rapecore!!

Is that the one about the girl who cuts of body parts she likes from live people then makes her own ideal human to be her friend? If so, good movie!

Got some really good stuff on your lineup this month, V. Haven't seen Legend of Hell House in quite some time. Might have to give it a spin this week.

I've seen The Hamiltons before, boring low budget flick. The sequel comes with a better budget & more action. Not great but okay time waster.

HAMILTONS >>: C-

THOMSONS >>: B-

Fantastic. Make it a double bill with The Haunting.

I think it might be on Netflix Instant; might have to re-check it out myself.

It IS on Netflix Instant, and I highly recommend it. One of my favorites!

The Warriors (1979)

Definitely one of the coolest action/ chase films ever.

9/10

Oh yes, excellent idea. It's been too long since I saw that one last, as well.

Definitely!

With the most annoying antagonist EVER!


His voice is more annoying than my karaoke voice.





Halloween (Zombie)- 5/10

I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I like Scout as Laurie, despite her not so incredible acting. She feels relatable to me. I hate the way Zombie tries to make Michael a majorly fucked up psycho based on a shitty childhood. It just doesn't fit his level of crazy. I truly dislike the first half. I enjoy the second half for what it is,a decent slice-em-up movie. I definitely enjoy this one more than most of the stupid Halloween sequels. I also like to see Michael as an unrealistically hulky beast guy. It looks cool, let's admit. I truly like the way Michael is depicted in both the remake and the original as they have different values of scary. In the original he's an absolute who we don't understand, with a motive we only somewhat understand. His slim figure and silent demeanor only make him more terrifying. In the remake we have an unstoppable force with a pea brain. Either way, people get stabbed and there's a lot of screaming.


Rob Zombie's Halloween 2- 7/10

You can freak out all you want, but I really like this movie. I'm not entirely sure why, since this is the only movie by Zombie that I can say I actually liked. The tone is interesting, the way it's written is kind of cool... I don't know. It seems like he planned the whole first movie as a set up to this (duh) but it feels crafty. I like the way it plays out, even though it's technically crappy by most people's terms. The theatrical ending is much better than the dvd ending, which is pretty cheap.


Time to watch about 200 more slashers.

I haven't seen Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter Yet, let us know if it's any good x

I know I'm sad, but just watched this with my little girl x

I don't think it's sad, I think it's nice that you watch movies with your child.

The Cabin in the Woods, and I personally really enjoyed it.

Basket Case 2 (1990) Even seeing the original Basket Case recently couldn't have prepared me for this slice of insanity. The group of freaks on show here are stellar with my personal fave-the man with 17 noses. In a way this film nicely bridges the gap between the shoestring budget sleazeathon original and Frankenhooker. Also it's extremely dry not just the humour absolutely everything here. There's no way Henenlotter could have done another basket case so this is quite different. There's no animation and Belial is far less scary if you could call him scary to begin with. But it's all so ridiculous and trashy it's hard not to smile at the warped scenes. A must see for Henelotter fans.

Darkness (2002) Occult horror slow burner. I think my mind was still warped from Basket Case 2 so I didn't *get* everything but there was a lot going on so I think I may give it a second watch at some point.

Sinister

A little slow at parts but it had a good creep factor and the story was good. I wish they had done more with the BaGhoul(Sp?) character though. No need to rush out to the theaters for this one but check it out when its on DVD

"Deep Rising" (1998)
-Treat Williams

Plot:IMDB

A group of heavily armed hijackers board a luxury ocean liner in the South Pacific Ocean to loot it, only to do battle with a series of large-sized, tentacled, man-eating sea creatures who have taken over the ship first.

Phantom's Review: I love this movie. It's just a good old fashioned monster movie. Plenty of scares, action, gore and humor. A fun "leave your brain at the door and enjoy" type of film. Highly recommended.

Now what?....

John Carpenter's
"Vampires" (1998)
-James Woods

Plot: IMDb
A vengeful vampire slayer must retrieve an ancient Catholic relic that, should it be acquired by vampires, will allow them to endure sunlight.

Phantom's Review: Vampires have always been my favorite movie monsters and before they were ruined by sparkly, twinkly pansy boys, they were like this: Scary , violent and powerful. "John Carpenter's Vampires" shows them like this. The film is well made. Has some good scares, plenty of violence and gore and has some damn sexy women and James Woods is totally bad ass as the veteran slayer with a personal grudge against vamps. Highly entertaining.

Wrong Turn 5 (2012)

Hasn't it become another traditional halloween franchise? Like Paranormal Activity.

I'm sure we will see more halloween series in the future. One for each freakin day. And speaking of days. How freakin long does Halloween take??!! Longer than christmas it seems. It's ridiculous.

Saw Lep in the Hood (part 5). A long 90 minutes.

This happened:

Wild Bill - Following his release from prison,former drug dealer and local legend Bill is reluctantly forced to play Dad to his two sons whose Mother has abandoned them.

I was worried this was going to be a clone of every other cockney gangster film,full of cliches and pissed off granite faced geezers,and whilst there is some of that there is much more on offer.

The cast is excellent and chock full of British talent,standouts are Charlie Creed-Miles as the titular Wild Bill and Will Poulter who plays his eldest son.After dominating The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader as the sour faced Eustace,and here playing the put upon and resentful teenager Dean,it will be interesting to see what Poulter can do in a role that does not require him to be quite so annoyed all the time.

First time director Dexter Fletcher's depiction of the gritty,underpriveleged and often violent lives of the main characters is balanced by uplifting moments of real heart and humour (Due in no small part to Flether's own co written script).

Wild Bill was not a film I was expecting anything from,but now I would consider it something of a little homegrown gem. 9/10
