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 |

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. |

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. |
Quote:
Name one other movie that has used that plot device. |

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

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. |

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

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.

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. |
