The Cold, AKA The Game
 
As anyone following the Last Seen Movie thread might know, I watched this incredibly strange film earlier today. I just wanted to make a thread to see if anyone else here has actually seen this...

Here's my review, if anyone cares:

Well this was certainly a weird little film. Very low budget, very bad actors, very 80's...very strange!

The plot is basically just a confusing rehash of House on Haunted Hill. 3 eccentric millionaires invite a group of people to stay at their mansion to face their greatest fears. The last one gets a million dollars. Pretty straight forward, but they still manage to make it a jumbled, confusing mess. At one point near the end, the narrator even admits he doesn't have a clue what's happening!

The actors are exactly what you'd expect to see in a low budget 80's horror flick, which is to say that they couldn't act their way out of a wet paper bag. They do have some amusing lines, including the best pick-up line ever "I had a vasectomy!".

Really though, this isn't an awful film considering. It's interesting to watch, because you really have no idea what's going to happen from one scene to the next. Really odd and poorly made film, but still entertaining in it's own way.

5.5/10

Judging from your posts in the Cheese in the Closet thread, I think you'd like it. I got it in a pack of 50 horror movies called "Chilling Classics". Definatly worth my money, full of chessy old horror movies.

It's only $15 on Amazon, highly recomened.

I havent watched alot yet, but so far it seems like a good set. They're all public domain so the quality isnt always perfect, but still bearable.

I havent watched that one yet, but I doubty it. Heres what IMDB says about it:

Dr. Peter Houseman is a brilliant geneticist who is working on a serum which will stop human aging, but his colleagues don't believe in his work. When his university funding is threatened by his skeptical benefactors, the doctor takes a desperate measure to justify his work. He administers the serum to himself, but the results are unexpected and horrendous.
