Tombs of the Blind Dead (1971)

A very slow-burning zombie flick, but it has some really cool atmosphere and the Templar themselves are probably the creepiest looking undead I've seen in a long time. Looking forward to checking out the rest of the series.

Halloween II (2009)

An improvement over the last one for sure, but still nothing overly special. I really liked the more surreal aspects - the scenes with Sheri Moon Zombie as Micheal's mother were easily the best moments of the film - but otherwise it's just your typical slasher. It's ultra-violent like you'd expect from Zombie, but unlike the violence in something like Devil's Rejects, this just seems pointless most of the time. None of the kills have any tension or inventiveness...it's just a big motherfucker crashing through walls and stabbing people a shitload of times. Sure, it's brutal and gory, but it gets old pretty quick. Not to mention Zombie's awful dialogue...

Still, it has some decent moments here and there. Nothing I'd recommend, but if you liked the first one you'll like this too.

the last movie i saw was flight of the living dead. fucking killer. i love zombie movies so i was a fan for sure. it was pretty cool. it was like a cheesy movie. a lot better then having dumb ass snakes on a fucking plane. it was pretty good.

**SPOILER**
i loved it all. a great movie to me. it was pretty fucking brutal though. i believe that laurie is going to escape and start to kill people herself. cause of how the movie ended. no more michael, but now angel.

Inglorious Basterds... in the theater... again... And just as good. Good GOD Christoph Waltz is an amazing villain. Still highly recommend this one. The audience applauded in the end.

5/5.

Yeah, same thing happened both times I saw it, too. The first time I saw it on opening night. The theatre was packed and the applause was quite loud afterward.

The Elephant Man (1980)

A total heart-wrenching real life story of an Englishman named John (/Joseph) Merrick who become known as The ELEPHANT MAN because of his deformed physical appearance. Lynch masterfully put us on a heavy emotional journey that takes us get inside the man and his tortured existence. An uniquely unforgettable masterpiece that makes us truly sorry but doesn't actually care for our blind pity.The film asks for our respect, not cry for Merrick. But eventually it's very hard to resist ourselves from doing that. One of the greatest lines comes when Merrick's fellow "freaks" in the circus help him escape and said "Good luck, my friend. And who needs it more than us?" A must see for everyone to know & see the deformed face of 'humanity' in this cruel ugly world.

>>: A+

Hindsight (2008)

Totally agree. At first I had thought it would be a cheap Exorcist rip-off but there are themes which make it very different. One of the VERY FEW movies in which incest takes centre-stage right in the middle of a flick.

(Come to think of it, I cant think of many other US flicks, more so US horror movies, in which incest plays such a dominant role)

And its all complimented quite nicely by the shocker of an ending. I was slightly disappointed by the anti-climactic ending of the original flick earlier, but this fits the bill of a companion piece quite perfectly. Nice overlooked flick.
