Hahaha. Yea.

But besides that, the scares works better and Reynolds looks insanely buff. You'll probably dig that. ::wink::

The Last House on the Left (1972)

On their way to a rock concert, two teenagers are raped and murdered, and their attackers unknowingly take shelter in their victims' parents' house.

This was a pretty difficult movie to watch, but it was a good one nonetheless. The first half of the film captures the rape and murder of the two girls while the second half shows their parents' vengeance on the attackers. Both parts are equally intense and suspenseful. Occasionally during the film, it would switch to two police officers while cheesy music plays in the background. It sort of allowed the audience to take a breather from the very intense and sometimes disturbing nature of the main narrative, but I thought these scenes took away from the overall atmosphere. The story itself is lacking at points, but it's a pretty good movie if you can stomach the more violent scenes.

6/10

I believe i gave it about the same rating. Wasn't as disturbing as I thought it would be. And one thing that REALLY bothered me. Which mother in her right mind would take her daughters killers dick in her mouth?!! :danger:

The ending really took me by surprise. An ending you've seen a lot of the last 15 years, but not back then.

There are quite a few movies where it's not the house that's haunted, like in Paranormal Activity, but even if it is the house, then it's a certain demon, like in Poltergeist. And, if it's not a specific demon, then that location usually is isolated, like in The Shining, or the building itself changes in order to trap the victims, like in Grave Encounters.

So there's no other haunted house movie where they could've just left? Also as i already mentioned the house possessed the father/husband and he was keeping them there and think about it realistically. If something like that really happened in those circumstances would you really think that the house was possessing your significant other and uproot your entire life and move into a new house (Which is not as easy as movies make it seem) or would you just think theres something wrong with your spouse? The latter seems more likely to me. I hate the whole "Just leave the house" argument.

Also this is just nitpicking but with the first poltergeist it was the house that was haunted because of the burial ground. The demon storyline was in the second one.

Even before he went completely psycho, Kathy saw the pig eyes and other evidently paranormal stuff in the house. Something I did like about the remake that I forgot to mention was that it was more obvious that George was slowly being taken by the house because in the original, it seemed very sudden. He seemed like a more concrete villain than just the house.

You're right about the Poltergeist thing now that I remember, and to be honest, I hate the whole "built on an ancient burial ground" plot device.

People make themselves believe what they want to believe. Most people would not decide to move out of their homes like in Insidious because they think its haunted. I've heard many people mention that they felt like their house was haunted but none of them moved out because of it. It's just never been an issue i've had with haunted house movies, just feels like nitpicking.

Name one other movie that has used that plot device.

I meant in that movie specifically.

I get what you're saying about Amityville Horror, but I would have liked a more concrete villain.

So would i which is why i'm not big on Haunted House movies. You rarely ever get a concrete villain

'Salems Lot' (1979)
-David Soul, James Mason

Plot: Writer returns to his hometown to write a book about the local"haunted house" only to discover some real life horrors starting to happen.
Phantoms Review: One of my favorite adaptations of a Steven King story. Well acted, great atmospheric direction by Tobe Hooper and some genuinely creepy scenes.Worth watching, skip the remake. ::devil::

FryeDwight 01-17-2015 02:44 AM

THE BROOD (1979). Really like David Cronenberg's work, although his earlier work tended to go scattershot until it was time for a grossout. More mature script here dealing with child abuse/looming divorce still bounces back and forth, but this is worth seeing. And if you hang in there, you'll be rewarded with one of the most wonderfully disgusting scenes ever filmed for my money. ***
Other Cronenberg films I really liked were THE DEAD ZONE, DEAD RINGERS, CRASH, M BUTTERFLY and especially A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE.

Hey, Frye! Have you seen " SHIVERS 1975" ?

THE UNNAMABLE 1988

A monstrous offspring is left entombed in a house, cursed by her father. He was kind to her but ensured that she would never be able to leave the house.

Many, many years later, a group of college kids decide to explore and spend the night.

A little low key but quite enjoyable.

You would think her getting some visitors would be a good thing. http://forums.civfanatics.com/images/smilies/idunno.gif

Hi BF!::smile::
Actually, did see that one a long time ago, but my VHS (told you long time ago::big grin::) was titled THEY CAME FROM WITHIN. Pretty out there as I remember...think I'll put it on NETFLIX wish list and re-check it again.

That's right, I forgot it was known by that name as well. That was one freaky little movie.

SHOCK WAVES (1977). Really like this one about underwater zombies. Quite creepy throughout and Peter Cushing is spot on, as usual. ***1/2

Dead Bad Things 01-29-2015 04:57 PM

Sam Raimi's Evil Dead 2! One of my favorites::smile::

The Screaming Woman (1972)

Cool little TV movie from the 70's - The Screaming Woman. It's pretty short, like a long Twilight Zone episode about a woman (Olivia de Havilland) with dementia who is trying to convince people she has found (a barely alive) Buried body.

Watched the director's cut of Nightbreed last night. It's been so long since I've seen this movie, it was like I was watching it for the first time. Excellent movie. Great story, great makeup, some of the acting was so-so. I forgot about David Cronenberg playing the doctor.

Such a cool movie. Don't think I have seen director's cut. DC was great as the doctor. Loved his mask.

Agreed. Such an awesome movie and the directors cut pulls it all together perfectly.

I love this movie. Seen it before and never gets old. Gruesome gore for the time period as well.

THE CURSE 1987

A fiery globe lands in a farmers field and infects the water. The crops, livestock and family all succumb to the effects, save the stepson who wisely has been avoiding the food and water.

I liked the sequel better, mostly due to the pretty cool ending.
