Recently Watched Horror Films

[Anachronism]

I noticed this forum didn't have one of these so I thought 'why not add one' ;)

So what are the most recent horror films you've seen?

[Hellrazor]

just saw: The hill has eyes, it was pretty good, excellent gore, somewhat believable too, gave me the heebs

Saw Silent Hill in the theatre and anticipantly waiting for Aug 22 when it comes out on DVD,

[Sickie Ickie]

House on Silent Hill with Vincent Price and The Creeps with 3' tall wolfman, 3' Dracula, 3' mummy and 3' Frankenstein.

This week I have Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter to watch! Yay!

-Bryce :-) aka Sickie Ickie aka B-Movie Fan

[NecroBones]

You really want to know? I'm in the midst of my "horror re-education project". Here's what I've watched in the last 5 or 6 weeks or so:

* "A Nightmare on Elm Street"/Freddy (all 7)

* "An American Werewolf in London"

* "Dawn of the Dead" (2004)

* "Day of the Dead" (1985)

* "Friday the 13th"/Jason (1-8)

* "Halloween" (all 8)

* "Hellraiser" (1-2)

* "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (both)

* "Night of the Living Dead" (original)

* "Phantasm" (first)

* "Rosemary's Baby"

* "Saw" (both)

* "Scary Movie" (1) :)

* "Scream" (all 3)

* "Stigmata"

* "The Blair Witch Project" (both)

* "The Dead Zone"

* "The Fog" (1980, 2005)

* "The Ninth Gate"

* "The Prophecy" (all 3)

* "The Ring" (both)

* "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" (1974 version)

* "The Thing"


It totals over 50 movies. I think the local blockbuster probably thinks I'm nuts. :)

[Sinister]

Hellraiser: Bloodline (I think I am one of the only people alive who love this film. :D ) The Prophecy, Dog Soldiers, The Descent.

[SpookyDude]

I am sorry but this genre of film, especially the contemporary "Hack and Slashers", I have never enjoyed: Something about excessive gratuitous violence that makes them intellectually insulting... although I did enjoy "The Shinning", the original "Exorcist", and I do enjoy the old Hollywood classic horror films such as the Mummy, Dracula, Frankenstein, etc.

However, I must confess that back in the 70's we would get wasted and go watch the midnight presentation of the "Night of the Living Dead" on a regular bases. And there is one horror film that haunted my dreams for the longest time and that was the "House of Dark Shadows".

[Hellrazor]

Spooky dude, did you like the first or the second "the Shining"

I am a lover of the Jack Nicholson version the best. The second one followed the book a bit more but I thought it was freekin stupid.

The first one was amazing when it stands on its own, same with all of Stephen King movies, they cannot compare to the books but if you let them stand alone, they are pretty good. (Shawhank is another one and Sometimes they come back)

Whats your take on this?

[Sickie Ickie]

Hellraiser I like. :-)

[NecroBones]

SpookyDude, I agree totally. In this horror-onslaught I've put myself under, I've mostly been watching the slashers just to have seen them. I do find them repetative, and formulaic. I'm getting surprised occasionally by other films though, such as Saw. The remake of Dawn of the Dead was better than I expected. However I found the remake of The Fog to be somewhat disappointing.

Currently I'm working my way through the Hellraiser series, and trying to grab a few more werewolf and zombie movies.

I've been putting off The Excorcist and The Shining, since I've seen them more recently than most of the other stuff (much of which I had never seen).

[Forbidden Crypts]

I just watched High Tension last night. Not bad for a foreign overdubbed flick. I love the surprise ending.

[heresjohnny]

Underworld Evolution

[trishaanne]

1. House of wax-original
2. House of wax-remake---STUPID!!!!
3. Phantasm
4. The Mummy-original

[Empress Nightshade]

Ditto!

I liked High Tension, as well. And it's a good thing they had the twist at the end because the "Cat and Mouse" chase was getting to be a bit boring to me. The twist saved the movie as far as I'm concerned.

[heresjohnny]

The new version of texas chainsaw massacre. I didn't like this one very much.

[Sinister]

Cigarette Burns from the Carpenter entry of Masters of Horror. It's only an hour long and well worth the sixty seconds if you like Carpenter and want something different. Definitely his darkest work. I am in complete awe of the man.

[Frighteners Entertainment]

Event Horizon and Sleepy Hollow...

[Sinister]

The new version of texas chainsaw massacre. I didn't like this one very much.

The new or old version? I hated both of them. The second was saved only by the presence of R. Lee Ermy and Jessica Biel in those tight ass jeans. Other than that they both pretty much sucked. I have never understood the snake fascination that Horror fans have had for that annoying film, the original one that is.

Thank god there's an individual of like mind around and I'm not the only one. :D You rock, HJ!

Thanks Sinister! I was referring to the new version, and Jessica Biel made the movie worth watching through to the end. Never saw the original.

[Forbidden Crypts]

Duplicate Post Sorry!!!

[Rocky]

Not 100% horror but Wednesday I watched Twilight Zone: The Movie. I really liked it !!

[ScareFX]

Went to Pirates today with the family, it's long and of course not horror but the sets/scenes were great however...

they played the trailer for The Descent. It's coming to US theaters on August 4th (http://www.thedescentfilm.com/)...

I know Sinister has seen this, as have I, but I don't want discuss it yet...

I just want everyone to go see this one so we can post comments!

[Sinister]

Trust me, you owe it to yourselves to see this when it comes out. Although I own it, I'm seriously considering going to see this on the big screen. I, like Scary, am not going to fully discuss this until more of you have checked it out. I sing Neil Marshall's praises and after you view this, you'll know why. One of the best Horror films to come out in sometime; forget High Tension, The Descent is the real deal. :xbones:

[heresjohnny]

I also saw Pirates with one of my sons today. Didn't like it as much as the first, but Son liked it better. More action and monsters in this one, I think.

[Frighteners Entertainment]

Watching John Carpenter's Vampires right now.

[Sinister]

Watching John Carpenter's Vampires right now.

Good one! My favorite James Woods role. I like when there's a movie where the line between who and what's worse is hazy. Jack Crow's slayers were almost every bit as bad as vampires were. Clooney and gang were worse than that in From Dusk Till Dawn. The last would be a perfect companion piece to Carpenter's Vampires. Might have to watch the both of them together one of these days. Now that Jeff has put that Texas Toad Lickers theme from the movie in my head by his mentioning of the film, I might have to instigate that plan today. :googly:

[Hellrazor]

1. House of wax-original
2. House of wax-remake---STUPID!!!!
3. Phantasm
4. The Mummy-original

I am so happy to hear another person out there hated the House of Wax remake as much as I did. What the hell was up with that. Why oh Why did they call it the House of Wax when it resembled NOTHING of the first one with Vincent Price????? WHY??????

There were some creapy parts, but for me, if they would have named it something else I would have watched it with a different mentality. But i didnt and it sucked donkey butt!!!

AAAhhh I get so frustrated about certain things, thats one of them (and the 30 secs between each post used to be the other one LOL)

[Zombie-F]

...if they would have named it something else I would have watched it with a different mentality. But i didnt and it sucked donkey butt!!!

I haven't seen the remake of "House of Wax" yet, but that is how I feel about a lot of remakes. They often don't even resemble the source material and probably would have been better off just being re-titled as something else.

Back on topic...

I just watched "Dawn of the Dead" (remake) and "Jeepers Creepers" the other day. I believe next up I'm due for a viewing of "Ravenous," which I haven't watched in quite some time.

[Sinister]

HOLY HELL, Z! I was just thinking about Ravenous the other day and how cool it would be watching it back-to-back with The Descent. If you have a chance to see that movie man, you'll agree they fit perfectly. I think Kyra and I will check 'em out together when she's here. That is if, ah we get around to it...:devil:

[Mr Unpleasant]

I just finished watching "The Hills have Eyes" and mrs Unpleasant is so freaked out. Even more disturbing than the original that I watched years ago. This new version still had me on the edge.

[Frighteners Entertainment]

Ok, now onto Jeepers Creepers or maybe From Hell?

[Sinister]

Taking into consideration that you might like Jeepers Creepers and since you are a friend I will do nothing to offend you by stating what I thought of it, I recommend the other From Hell. You just can't go wrong with Johnny Depp most of the time. :)

[Frighteners Entertainment]

I agree, I really like his movies!

Though, I've seen these movies many times, part of the collection.

[Zombie-F]

I really enjoyed Jeepers Creepers up until the mid-point. They kind of dropped the ball after the creeper reveals it's true self and the movie turns to mush. Up to that point, it is quite scary and very suspenseful.

[Frighteners Entertainment]

I lied, Dog Soldiers it was!

Now onto WitchBoard.

[Anachronism]

Demons
Demons 2
Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3
It Waits
Venom
The Gingerbread Man

[Forbidden Crypts]

I watched a really bad movie last night called "Venom".

Tonight there's a movie listed I've never seen. I'm going to watch it. It's called "Elvira's Haunted Hills". Anything with Elivra has got to be a hoot.:p

[Da Weiner]

Watched two movies this weekend - Van Helsing (was on the premium channel so what the hell - go for it) and I rented the remake "The Hills have Eyes". I did enjoy and it kept me interested. Good action and gore effects. I just read that they will be filming "The Hills have Eyes 2" shortly.

[Forbidden Crypts]

I noticed they left the ending of that movie openb for a sequel. I just watched that the other night.

FYI - I signed up for that Blockbuster Home Delivery deal. It's not bad. I got the cheap deal for $9.99 a month I get 1 movie at a time, and we can usually watch about 12 or 14 movies a month that way. Plus we get a free movie coupon every week. So 16 to 18 DVD rentals for $9.99 a month isn't too bad. Plus they come right to your home.

[Da Weiner]

That does sound like a good deal FC. My brother has Netflix and he pays a cheep rate also. How quick are they to deliver when you pick a DVD you want to see.

[Forbidden Crypts]

Pretty quick sometimes. I think they must get checked in at the Post Office, and they immediately hunt one down and have it mailed to you. I say that becuase sometimes I've gotten an email that they received the return DVD, and mailed the new one the same day as the PO picked it up. We've never had to wait more than 3 days for the new one to come.

[Da Weiner]

Sounds like a deal. I might have to check into that. Thanx FC!

[ScareFX]

HOLY HELL, Z! I was just thinking about Ravenous the other day and how cool it would be watching it back-to-back with The Descent. If you have a chance to see that movie man, you'll agree they fit perfectly. I think Kyra and I will check 'em out together when she's here. That is if, ah we get around to it...:devil:

Wow. I somehow had missed seeing Ravenous until last night.

That was a very entertaining movie with an unpredictable script and a great score. I thought Guy Pearce, Robert Carlyle and Jeffrey Jones were all excellent.

It was a gory good time that had me hankering for a nice juicy steak ;)

Highly recommended if you have not seen it.

[kevin242]

The Dawn of the Dead remake just entered my video library. I have to say that its the best zombie flick (aside from Shaun of the Dead) that's come out since 1985's Return of the Living Dead.

[ScareFX]

The Dawn of the Dead remake just entered my video library. I have to say that its the best zombie flick (aside from Shaun of the Dead) that's come out since 1985's Return of the Living Dead.

I thought that remake was great. Those fast zombies were scary as hell.

[Lazario]

Alien
The Exorcist
Sleepy Hollow
Cemetery Man
Videodrome
Halloween
Black Christmas

[mrklaw]

I just saw Van Helsing last week. It was entertaining, but not scary. I also just Tivoed Bram Stoker's Dracula and have started watching it. I'm not a huge fan of the love story in it, but have never seen it all the way through.

[Pumpkin_Queen]

Ok, here's the horror flicks I've seen recently:

1. Slither
2. The Nun
3. Santa's Slay
4. Trick or Treat

[RAXL]

:smoking: Picked up the Creature from the Black Lagoon box set last weekend, so I spent last Sunday with The Gill-Man.

[Da Weiner]

Watch "Underworld" last night for the first time. Thought it was OK. I think I will check out "Revolution" on the weekend.

[Pumpkin_Queen]

The affects for Underworld and the overall premise was ok, however it was just too difficult to execute in one movie. I'm going to give Revolution a shot soon too, however, not getting my hopes up too high.

[mrklaw]

I'm currently working on Dracula with Bela Lugosi.

[Da Weiner]

I just watched GingerSnaps for the first time. Definitely a good flick. What the hell was with GingerSnaps Back (the sequel). I saw GingerSnaps Back first and really didn't care for it. After seeing GingerSnaps last night, they've could have done better with the sequel.

[Sinister]

There were a few discrepancies with the prequel that made some of the events in the first film null and void. Continuity issues abound, but Ginger Snaps Back is a film that gets better with subsequent viewings (like he original Day of the Dead) You have to admit that the werewolves looked better than the creature Ginger Fitzgerald eventually became in the original. Other than that, if you can get past all those things, it's not such a bad film and could even be a pretty decent companion piece to another great Horror movie based on that era, Ravenous.

[Da Weiner]

Besides GingerSnaps and Ginger Snaps Back, is there another part (sequel) that shows what happens with the sister, Bridgett, after she's bitten or is it just these two movies that are just out for now.

[Sinister]

The actual sequel does indeed, center around Brigette. It's called Ginger Snaps: Unleashed. It's...different. The ending definitely leaves the series wide open. Watch it and let me know what you think, DW. :)

[Da Weiner]

Thanx Sin!!!! I thought there was something missing between the two. I was left wondering what happened to Brigette. I am definitely going to check it out. Again, thanx a bunch.

[edwood saucer]

Glas to see someone mentioned Sleepy Hollow - I think it is a great movie to get in the season too. The characters are great and the horseman has a decent backstory.

Watched Cabin Fever on Sci Fi the other night - really watered down but fun none-the-less. Ultra Violet - eh...

Plan on throwing some of the Dollar Tree classics into the DVD soon.

[claymud]

The Fog remake was the last one I watched... meh. Ryans Watching Saw right behind me now...

[Da Weiner]

I watched "Stir of Echoes" last night on TNT channel. I remember watching this movie when it came out on DVD. That was the first time I heard of it. I think this movie came out the same time that "The Sixth Sense" came out and you didn't really about it because of all the hype surrounding Shyamalan's movie.

[Sinister]

Haven't hooked into Ginger Snaps: Unleashed yet, DW?

Yep, Stir of Echoes came out at precisely the time Shamalamadingdong's film The Sixth Sense did. Though I'm not a huge fan of the former film, it is by far and away better than the latter one.

[Da Weiner]

No Sin - I haven't gotten to rent that one yet. But yes, next time I'm there that's on the list.

[writer93]

I watched Dawn Of The Dead last night, the remade version. This morning I have already watched Motor Home Massacre, which was a bit boring.

[Frighteners Entertainment]

Well, Van Heilsing is on Stars....along with Cursed.....godd back ground noise while I work.

[RAXL]

Just watched Black Christmas in glorious HD.
It still stuns me how much of what we know of horror films comes straight from that one little Canadien film.
Even John Saxon.

[Johnny Thunder]

Watched Son of Dracula and Frogs last night......

[slightlymad]

Currently watching the holwing.
Watched house of wax <basically to see the blonde die> last night

[writer93]

Just watched Ill Always Know What You Did Last Summer, and Snakes On A Train.

[Dr Morbius]

Just saw original DOTD on DVD today. Still a kickass film! "Those zombie bastards!"

[RAXL]

MOTEL HELL.
What the hell is up with that movie?:p
Who puts on a friggin' pig's head and kills people with a chainsaw?:googly:

[Johnny Thunder]

RAXL - HOW DARE YOU :)

Ah c'mon - it's horrible but the visual has stayed with me and always scared the crap out of me.

[widowsbluff]

Raxl...not from the midwest are you? Pig heads and chainsaws are common around here, lol
we are putting together our nexflix october film list and I really need some new ideas, we have got so far

The Stand
The Dead movies
Simpsons Haunted treehouse
Rosemary's baby
Creep show
Exorsist
Finishing the last season of Dark Shadows


Just finished Freaks, loved it

Need some more ideas. I really like the old films....any ideas? Something obscure would be great, we have about done the 50's horror films to death.

[RAXL]

It is probaly far more sureal and scarier than Leatherface could ever hope to be, but, damn, who thinks of that?!:p
"Yeah, the killer will wear a pig's head, overall's and carry a chainsaw!"
That writer has got some serious issues.;)

[widowsbluff]

Motel Hell_ is one of my favorites. It is the first scary movie I remember seeing at the drive-inn. Our drive-in would show some Disney movie like "That Darn Cat" and then something really good, my sister and I were supposed to be asleep in the backseat by the time the real movie came on. I remember my mom saying "girls, go to sleep" during the whole movie, ya right mom, Motel hell was way more entertaining than a crime fighting cat. I don't think I could sleep for a week after that movie, but then next week they would take us back to the drive-in, parents...go fiqure.

[ScareFX]

I watched a couple of '06 movies recently, "The Woods" and "Slither". The first was pretty forgettable and the second was quite entertaining.

[Johnny Thunder]

Motel hell was way more entertaining than a crime fighting cat.

It would have been fun if the crime fighting cat fought Farmer Vincent in the big finale :devil:

[Sinister]

The Howling, Resident Evil, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Dog Soldiers.

[Johnny Thunder]

I watched White Zombie again Sat night.

[Da Weiner]

Yesterday I watch GingerSnaps 2 Unleashed. Very good. I really enjoyed it and I thought it was a pretty good sequel. I also watched Population 436. Was good and had a little twist at the end.

[Sinister]

So did the films, if not the sequences they were produced in, make more sense, DW?

[Da Weiner]

absolutely!!!!!! Watching GingerSnaps Back before watching the first and second definitely worked against me in trying to form an opinion. Thanx for setting me straight. I was glad that they worked Ginger back in the "Unleashed" one even though it was small parts of the movie. I liked the chemistry between the two girls and how they presented it on screen. I must say that I like all three movies.

[edwood saucer]

Caught Wrong Turn this weekend. It was cool.

I'm really excited to see Slither.

[writer93]

Slither??? I remember this being in theatres I think, cant remember what it was about though.
Last horror movie I saw was Motel Hell.

[Da Weiner]

I just watched Christine and Gothika last night.

[ksshane]

Just watched Ringu (the original theatrical version of The Ring). It was... ummmm.. hmmmm... a little different. It wasnt bad. Dont get me wrong, but I thought the American Version was much better. And since I didnt thing The Ring was great (pretty good) well then you can kind of understand what I thought of Ringu.

[ScareFX]

Slither??? I remember this being in theatres I think, cant remember what it was about though.
Last horror movie I saw was Motel Hell.

This a fun flick for horror movie fans. Check it out for sure.

Here is the synopsis from Rotten Tomatoes:
The sleepy town of Wheelsy could be any small town in America – somewhat quaint and gentle, peopled with friendly folks who mind their own business. But just beneath the surface charm, something unnamed and evil has arrived…and is growing. No one seems to notice as telephone poles become clogged with missing pet flyers, or when one of the town's richest citizens, Grant Grant (Michael Rooker), begins to act strangely. But when farmers' livestock turn up horribly mutilated and a young women goes missing, Sheriff Bill Pardy (Nathan Fillion) and his team, aided by Grant's wife Starla (Elizabeth Banks), uncover the dark force laying siege to their town… and come face-to-face with an older-than-time organism intent on absorbing and devouring all life on Earth.

[edwood saucer]

Nice synopsis... Thanks!

[writer93]

Just now watched The Ring 2, and last night I watched Halloween 1, 2, and part 4.

[Da Weiner]

Last night got to watch Disney's Halloweentown.

[gypsichic]

i've always liked halloweentown - i watched it again myself the other night and watched the Halloweentown II & the third one as well

[gypsichic]

oh and caught the tailend of The Howling the other night

[Da Weiner]

Got to watch Disney's Hocus Pocus Saturday night. Watch Jaws last night.

[Sinister]

The Subspecies series, Ravenous, Event Horizon, Lifeforce, Dawn of the Dead 79, Friday the 13th Parts 1, 6 and 7.

[WickedWitch]

Toothfairy (same concept as Darkness Falls pretty much) Was in the new release rack at Walmart for ten bucks,..where the movie should have stayed.

[edwood saucer]

Darkness Falls other night...
Great concept-poor poor execution...

[Johnny Thunder]

Devil Bat, Dr. Caligari, Bride of Frankenstein, Friday the 13th, and Friday the 13th part 8 I think it was

[morgan8586]

the hills have eyes(the remake) freddy vs jason

[Johnny Thunder]

Last night was a Hammer fest - The Curse of Frankenstein and Horror of Dracula. Tonight looks like more vampire movies all night on Turner Classics :devil:

[Sinister]

Last night was a Hammer fest - The Curse of Frankenstein and Horror of Dracula. Tonight looks like more vampire movies all night on Turner Classics :devil:


IMHO two of the best films Hammer studios ever produced. Their version of The Mummy is actually better than Universal's. I'm also a fan of The Vampire Lovers, Curse of the Werewolf, Dracula Prince of Darkness, Brides of Dracula and Dracula Has Risen From The Grave.

[Johnny Thunder]

Agree, agree, agree.

[Da Weiner]

Last night I watched Tim Burton's The Corpse Bride.

I also did check on TCM's schedule tonight and am going to watch some of em'. I don't remember seeing The Mark of the Vampire and Return of the Vampire - both starring Bela Legosi.

[RAXL]

Just watched Mark of the Vampire.
But, I hesitate to call it a horror flick. Oh well. :devil:

[Johnny Thunder]

Oh, c'mon...........:)

Watched Creature and Horror Express last night - watching Halloween tonight.

[morgan8586]

watched highway 666 today....not the best movie ever, but better than nothing!

[Sinister]

Just watched Mark of the Vampire.
But, I hesitate to call it a horror flick. Oh well. :devil:

You're right. It isn't a Horror Movie; it's a mystery.

[Da Weiner]

Over the weekend got to watch The Sixth Sense, Monster House, Halloween.

[ScareFX]

I watched "Rest Stop" this weekend. It had a lot of potential but got repetitive and the ending...not so good. Jaimie Alexander playing Nicole did a very good job and really carried the movie. I'll be checking her out in her role in "The Other Side".

[Hauntiholik]

I watched the Dawn of the Dead.

Yeah, OK, I have an idea. We draw straws and the loser runs across the lot with a ham sandwich.

[Sinister]

"Uh, excuse me, when you two fellas are done blowing each other, maybe Davey Crockett here can let us know what the score is."

[Hauntiholik]

I just spewed coffee! That was another good line :D

[heresjohnny]

Silent Hill and the original Fog. They were okay.

[Johnny Thunder]

My Frankenstein/Mummy/Creature Legacy Collection DVDs came today so I know what I'm doing tonight.

[Da Weiner]

Good for you JT. Monday is always a good night for watching DVDs.

[ScareFX]

I watched Feast last night. It's a horror-comedy that I found pretty entertaining.

[writer93]

Pet Semetary, Halloween 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. And just watched Hellraiser a little while ago.

[Johnny Thunder]

Yesterday morning Dracula and the Mummy; last night was House of Frankenstein, tonight is Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein.

[JCZ]

Yesterday I watched The Devil-Doll, The Monolith Monsters and Friday the 13th Parts 1 and 2 (never really cared for the Friday the 13th series when they were at the theaters but find myself watching them now).

[Sinister]

Feast, The Lost Boys, Slither.

[Johnny Thunder]

Last night after all the hijinx I watched The Invisible Man.

[Da Weiner]

I watched An American Haunting. I feel asleep. I am not really sure if it was that boring or that I was that stinking tired after all the Halloween festivities. I really didn't hear any good reviews on this film. I might have to pick up where I left off but I'm really thinking that I was bored watching it.

[Johnny Thunder]

Ghost of Frankenstein and Fright Night.

[Hauntiholik]

Killer Clowns from Outer Space

[Johnny Thunder]

This morning I watched Revenge of the Creature. This is one film that I hadn't seen it since I was a kid.

[edwood saucer]

Dawn of the Dead remake...jeez...

I'm convinced there is no original thought in Hollywood anymore.

[Johnny Thunder]

Last night I watched The Mummy's Hand and The Mummy's Tomb

[Sinister]

Dawn of the Dead remake...jeez...

I'm convinced there is no original thought in Hollywood anymore.

AND just what is WRONG with the Zack Snyder classic, young man...?!? :mad: :D

Seriously, you may be right on the originality thing. That may all change once a certain someone gets their break. ;)

[edwood saucer]

You know Sin -

I was waiting to be scared at the beginning with the little girl. Maybe it was the anticipation that killed the moment.

If this was the directors cut - where's the gut eatin? Hell - they even show that on NoLD on TV.

The pregnant woman was disturbing - really - what f'ed it up was that they HAD to show the baby. Wouldn't it have been more disturbing to not show the baby and then bash it's head in with a rifle butt?

The sign guy and the fat old lady were about the only redeeming factors of the movie - that and Ving Rhames who is an a** kicker in every movie he's in....(There's a class of actor who rarely does wrong in pictures - and I know it's personnel taste - but Rhames, Dinklage, Hopper, Glover, more recently Haig, Depp - argue all you want - again it's personel taste) These guys you can watch again and again - know your going to get them - and still enjoy it.

I dunno. Not here to argue. But so little excites me anymore - maybe therein lies the problem. Really - the bottom line is this: why do we get pissed because the studios redo a movie for the sake of a couple bucks? If you or I could figure out how to do it - wouldn't we?

I'd love to take inherent weaknesses in movies I've enjoyed - and try to make them better (curse me all you want - I think there is a decent 'seed' movie in Halloween III - Season of the Witch) but that is a fundamental difference between you, me, Zombie, vs. the studios. The studios are just updating the cast. I guess there is nothing wrong with that.

Funny thing is - is that people probably argued against Carpenter remaking the Thing.

You guys have gotten me excited about Halloween with Zombie - he'd just better not sell out.

But I'm more excited about Grindhouse - I trust Tarantino and Rodreguez (sorry about the spelling) to turn the genre on it's ear.

Sorry for the ramble.

[edwood saucer]

Just to add after reading the post...

I like slow Zombies. I like slow mass murderers. No matter how fast you run - they catch up. It's like a nightmare - and I think that works a lot better than fast zombies and murderers.

Not to say there is not the exception - I thought 28 Days was a great movie. Fast domestic zombies don't work for me!

For whatever reason!

I'm with you on that, brother. I've mentioned before the slow, claustrophobic sense of dread and impending doom scares the %&*$ out of me.....

[edwood saucer]

JT -
To me probably still the most disturbing movie I have ever seen is Night of the Living Dead and I've seen most all of them.

I have to be in exactly the right frame of mind to watch it - or I can't.

I can't say that about any other movie.

[Johnny Thunder]

Yup - I've said that before. That and Carnival of Souls (although those ghouls move quite fast).

[Da Weiner]

Well, even though this is not a horror movie, I did watch the Wizard of Oz this weekend. I don't care what you think - those monkeys are freaky looking.

Hhahahaha - ok, so it WAS on ......I'm glad I didn't hallucinate that - :googly:

[Da Weiner]

Thw Wizard of Oz was on Friday night, Saturday night and and twice on Sunday night. Monkeys in that movie are freaky.

[edwood saucer]

You know - in a way - it's probably the first horror movie many kids were exposed too..

My kids were watching it and my 4 year old hated the wizard when he was in the green smoke. She said it scared her. So - yeah - I'd say perfectly legitimate. The witch scared me more than the monkeys...

[Johnny Thunder]

I think they're all gross.

Tonight we're watching The Creature Walks Among Us.

[Sinister]

Just to add after reading the post...

I like slow Zombies. I like slow mass murderers. No matter how fast you run - they catch up. It's like a nightmare - and I think that works a lot better than fast zombies and murderers.

Not to say there is not the exception - I thought 28 Days was a great movie. Fast domestic zombies don't work for me!

For whatever reason!

First of all, Ed, I just want to thank you for expressing why you didn't care for the film. A lot of people would have come out with something trite and uninteresting like, "I just thought it sucked," without a decent arguement to back it up. I respect people who give me a good solid reason whether it agrees with my own opinion or not.

Back on topic, 28 Days Later isn't a zombie film. They were victims of a disease called Rage. They didn't take sustenance from their victims, that is why they began to die out in the end. No food, no energy to continue those seemingly tireless sprints.

In the original NOTLD you did see gut chomping, but you didn't actually see the zombies take them from the ones they were eating. In the redux of DOTD you actually seen the biting, but it is neither here nor there and is just a matter of preference I suppose.

JT mentioned Carnival of Souls. Without this film then I seriously doubt Romero would have made NOTLD. Both are fine, creepy films and an asset to anyone's Horror Movie collection.

If I had a problem with Snyder's version of DOTD, then it's the fact that the zombies didn't slow down even when massive deterioration was glaringly evident. I am writing a screenplay now that sort of addresses that. That aside, I think the redux is a great film and possibly superior to anything Romero put out. Once again, it's all a matter of preference. :zombie:

[Johnny Thunder]

JT mentioned Carnival of Souls. Without this film then I seriously doubt Romero would have made NOTLD. Both are fine, creepy films and an asset to anyone's Horror Movie collection.:


I also think The Last Man on Earth inspired Romero for NOTLD - another film that I think is underrated but effective and creepy.

Motel Hell was on this morning.:D

Motel Hell was on this morning.:D

:devil: (shhhh, don't let Sin hear us.....)

[skullboy]

Does he like it or not?I find it entertaining.

[Sinister]

Does he like it or not?I find it entertaining.

No. I do not.

[edwood saucer]

Thanks Sin,
Again - I just like to talk about movies. I don't find any opinions wrong.

Having said that:
1 - I need to watch Carnival of Souls.
2 - I really enjoyed Motel Hell - we used to watch it all the time when I was younger.
3 - I want to be an extra in your movie! I will decompose with the best of them.

I have a nephew who works out in LA - and I told him that when he makes it big - he's gonna have to do a Zombie flick and I'm gonna be an extra in it.

[Johnny Thunder]

As I've said, the image of Farmer Vincent at the end always scared the crap out of me and was one of those memories where when you saw it as a kid it just kinda stayed with me (even though it isn't a good horror film). I remember seeing it as a wee lad and I was scared to death....kinda like the TOTers this year :)

Tonight I'm watching Hammer's The Mummy. I"ve been in an Egyptian kinda mood all week.

[Sinister]

Finished watching Silent Hill. It took me two days to get through the movie and my opinion of it is almost indifferent. Great atmosphere, but very little in the way of substance and dragged for too long in many places. It barely, just barely squeaks by with a two out of a possible five stars. In other words, I have to give this flick a "Thumbs Down."

[Ms. Wicked]

Saturday night, we settled down to Arachnaphobia and the original Night of the Living Dead. My husband hates spiders, so I tip-toed into the basement, grabbed my rubber tarantula (from my nicely packed Halloween boxes) and half-hid it down the side of the cushion when he got up to go to the bathroom <snicker, snicker> The beauty is, he noticed during the part when all the spiders were scrambling into the house! LOL

That was followed by Night of the Living Dead, my all time scariest movie ever that really creeps me out. I'm petrified of that movie, but still watch it, half hidden behind a pillow the whole time!!!! They're coming to get you Barbara... :O

[Johnny Thunder]

We're watching the Spanish version of Dracula tonight.

Have not yet seen it but.......hmmmmmmmmmmm.

[edwood saucer]

I've heard a lot of interesting things about the Spanish version. They shot at the same time and AMC did a whole trivia about the movies one time. It was pretty cool. Like lots of Span Drac scenes were shot during the day so the American version could shoot during the night - so they basically shot in parallel.

Course - you probably already know this. Give us a review...

[Johnny Thunder]

Hey Ed - actually from what I know the English Lugosi version shot during the day, while the Spanish/Mexican version used the same sets but at night...

will do so, definitely :D

[edwood saucer]

I knew it was one or the other...
Anyway - definitely tell me what you thought.

[Johnny Thunder]

Well, I crapped out on the couch last night and never got to watch it. If not later, then definitely this weekend!

[edwood saucer]

Alright - I keep stopping by here and keep seeing KB. Nice - I have seen bad pics of her though. I really think shes like the gal on Seinfeld that you have to catch in a certain light.

It's late - I'm tired and working - so not thinking to clearly. I apologize.

Tomorrow - dish gets installed. So I'll get 8 channels of HBO for whatever it's worth for 3 months... Hopefully I'll catch up on the movies my wife yells at me when I rent. I love her - we make a good pair - but she doesn't have the stomach for the stuff we used to watch. Which is fine. Anyway - I debated HBO of Cinemax because back in the day Cinemax always had good scary movies. But Manny (the Satellite Guy - go figure) said it's all skin now. Nothing wrong with that - I thought the gods were shining on me when we got a new TV and it picked up porn from whatever cable was doing wrong (cable automatically figured it out later). But with 3 young'ins - I guess Sopranos is better. Just kidding. The kids are looking forward to the Disney channels and Raven (not Poe) and High School Musical 24/7... Which is cool - they are kids.

I called my kid 'Fonzie' the other day - he asked who that was. Tonight Happy Days was on TV Land. So I told him to watch. He got a big kick out of it. You know you are getting older when your kid is watching a show you watched when you were his age. It's bittersweet in a way.

Got EVANESCENSE on iTunes while I work - before that was WHITE ZOMBIE (Supersexy Swingin Sounds). I'm sort of glad Rob Zombie went to make movies. His albums really aren't that great anymore. He still makes music - but to me it's novelty - and bad novelty at that. Will probably listen to Auf Der Maur after EV.

So tomorrow I will sit down and watch whatever monster movies are on the dish! Yipee!

[Da Weiner]

I have Comcast service and they just installed a "Fearnet" channel. I't still in the infant stages but I can click on any horror movie(s) that are available and watch them for free. Sweet!!!!!

[Sinister]

Napolean Dynamite is a movie that clearly shows what direction the American film as we know it is taking...a nosedive right into the crapper. It is a migraine inducing journey into stupidity where for 1.5 hours absolutely nothing happens.

I'd better stop before I get started. I am in one of my rant moods where even the slightest thing I have a negative opinion about will draw my ire.

[KryptKittie69]

interesting to see comments like this.
you know the saying "there's no disputing taste"?

I could see stating that you didn't enjoy the film and didn't see why other people enjoyed it, but to trash it knowing that there are going to be people reading this that loved it, of which I am one, is shallow.
I think it had heart and great directing and loveable characters.

[morgan8586]

KK,

Peace, love & tranquility....Please dont consider me shallow....my comments about the movie were ment to be harmless. Please accept my apoligies....

[Johnny Thunder]

Last night I watched Werewolf of London - I hadn't seen it in years. Liked it much better as a film than I remembered....

[edwood saucer]

Krypt,
I have a nephew who made Sin seem pretty tame. My nephew thought his opinion was the ultimate truth regarding anything he spoke about and that he was right. And if your opinion differed - you really just knew nothing.

I think you could probably corner Sin and he's admit he is one of many. He's just more extreme in his expression. (not that I'm thinking for him)

I, for one, hated ND. Wife and I watched it and afterwards looked at each other wondering what all the hullaballoo was about.

A week later we found ourselves quoting lines from it and chuckeling (remember - we hated the movie). I then rented it again - to see if I was missing anything funny. And we laughed through the whole thing.

I just think it catches people off guard.

There are movies everyone hates - I mean really hates. I hate any movie with Billy Crystal - I don't think he's funny. And would say the same about Robin Williams or David Spade until I saw Birdcage and Joe Dirt (ecclectic taste in movies).

But I also think (at 41) that South Park is the most intelligent tv programming there is now that West Wing is over. And that Halloween 3 wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen.

Don't let it get to you. Forums are for a vigorous exchange of opinions. No more, no less.

[Sinister]

Well spoken, Ed. As you can see, I caught myself before I got out of hand. IMHO (And that is the thing that makes forum boards thrive---opinions) believe me, if KK took offense to those few lines I wrote, she would probably exit the board if I posted what I originally was going to.

Morg apologized for stating an honest opinion of the flick in question, I however will not. I take very serious affrontery to being called "shallow." Though no names were mentioned, I am quite certain that accusation was levelled at me. Everyone has their opinions about everything and I'm pretty sure KK has some extreme ones herself. You can say that flick had "heart," "loveable characters," and the worst accolade, "great directing," all you want, but it's not going to make me have a change of heart and look at it in a different light. Once again, MY OPINION; I think anyone involved with the production and distribution of Napolean Dynamite should be publicly caned, put in stocks wherever they reside and have to suffer a rain of ridicule and hurled rotted vegetation. Then they along with others of their ilk like Martin Short for instance, should be deservedly blacklisted with not even a remote chance of ever working in the entertainment industry again.

Wanna take offense to something KK, then get bent out of shape about some of these no-talents having cushy Hollywood jobs making obscene amounts of cash you nor I will ever get our hands on all the while churning out embarrassments like this goddamn dreck. If you didn't like what I wrote about that movie, then you have a very thin skin. It's not like I went out to personally insult you, your family or anyone who liked the film or else I would have directly called you out. Apologize for what I wrote in this post or my earlier one? Don't hold your breath. I stand behind every last word I posted and then some.

[RAXL]

I just saw 2001 Maniacs. Robert Englund as a confederate mayor. What a horrid little film. :googly:

But, Kane Hodder is in it. For one close up shot. I'm not kidding. One shot. His character gets a name in the closing credits. Yeah, you guessed it. Jason.:voorhees:

[edwood saucer]

Yes - Martin Short has screwed the Santa Claus franchise... some actors are merely one dimensional and can't get beyond it. Sometime it works - any Bill Murray comedy. Most of the time - it doesn't - see Billy Crystal.

Not to change the subject - or pander to Sin... I have yet to see Milla Jovovich in any movie I haven't liked. She just flies under american cinema radar - but is probably a half billion dollar industry, herself, in Europe. Good actress - can't pick a decent role - but does the best with what she has. My wife and I both dig the Resident Evil franchise.

Okay - back on subject - sorry about that.

[Sinister]

No need to apologize my newest friend. ANYONE who likes the delectable Milla has exquisite tastes. I too enjoy the Resident Evil franchise, though it has been panned by fans and critics alike. I can't wait to see what new zombie fun Alice gets in her ass kicking mode against in the new upcoming film later next year. Pander to me all you like about her or Asia Argento...Katharine Isabelle...Neve Campbell...Jennifer Love Hewitt...Eliza Dushku...Darrian Caine...Monica Bellucci...:D

[KryptKittie69]

well said, edwood.


I stand by my accolades of ND.
I wasn't insulted by those earlier comments. I was just surprised by them.
seemed a tad too strong. As if they were made by someone who had a script rejected by the director.

[Johnny Thunder]

So, uh, anyone else watch anything good lately? :D

I'm begining to wonder if there are any good horror flicks anymore.:rolleyes:

[Sinister]

I'm begining to wonder if there are any good horror flicks anymore.:rolleyes:


Surely. Alas, many of them aren't main stream. Quite possibly the last of those occured in 2004 with Zack Snyder's re-imagining of Dawn of the Dead. Also, I have my own love for such flicks as The Devil's Rejects, 28 Days Later, and like with the Resident Evil films I am a big fan of Eli Roth's renderings. Quite a few of your gems come from the indy flicks. I believe the last good Horror film I saw was this year's Feast. Nasty little flick that hails back to the good years when CGI wasn't the "In thing" to do when it came to making movies revolving around the fantastic. Good films are out there Raxl, but as is the thing with looking for gold or diamonds, you have to dig around for them. :ninja: :D

[edwood saucer]

28 Days Later rocked.

No so much Feast - but it was fun. Except for the fact I let the 10 year old watch it too. He wasn't scared - but the cussing was extreme. Monster sex too. This was my fault. Normally wouldn't let him watch something like that.

[Da Weiner]

What did you think of Hard Candy, DW? It made my top three of the year. That one part really made me squirm and that isn't a very easy task.

Was this one of those movies that had limited theater time? I really didn't hear about this movie at all but was bored one day and looked on the pay-per-view channel and decided to watch it. This was one movie that kept my interest from the beginning to the end and I was happy to be spending the $3.99. For a young person, I was taken back by Ellen Paige's role. Although I did think some of the conversation between Haley and Jeff was a little too "mature" ever her to be saying, it's a nice change from the teenage actresses that have the bubblehead movies out there that are getting all the attention today. I know where you're coming from about that one particular scene - it even had me squirming in my chair. Even though this is not considered a horror/gore film, the feeling you got watching this made it feel that way. This was definitely one of those movies that hasn't received the attention it deserves.

Question - (Not to spoil this for anyone else) Was there a connection between Haley and the missing girl. She seemed to know that Jeff was involved in the murder of the missing girl thus making it her intention to track him down to actually get a confession from him. IMHO she had an agenda for this guy not just for his pedophila habits but also for revenge for the missing girl. Sin, what's your take on this part.

[Sinister]

Personally, I think Haley was just as psychotic in her own way as Jeff was (Remember what she said her numerous therapists diagnosis' were). I don't believe she did it for the justice angle, but that she enjoyed the whole aspect as she was into torture. She just seemd a bit too cool and calm about her actions throughout the whole movie for me to think otherwise. The ending I think explains it all.

IMHO I think Ellen Page is a fine actress and needs to be given more acting roles.

[Da Weiner]
