It's really interesting to compare The Last House on the Left and Night Train Murders – I'd find it hard to decide which of the two is my favourite of the best film. As for Phantasm, I can't think of any films which have borrowed heavily from Don Coscarelli's bizarre horror/sci-fi movie, but the concept of putting human beings in dustbins so they can be transported to another planet with high gravity is so out there, it'd be tough to reference it or remake it/rip it off!

I completely agree, it is so out there. I also love the sequels too, but it's a shame Coscarelli couldn't have had A. Michael Baldwin in Phantasm II, even if he was a suppporting cast. Also no fifth Phantasm! He really has left it on a cliffhanger.

Phantasm has some of the greatest horror theme music of all time in my opinion. The music in Evil Dead Trap is heavily influenced by it. Used to great effect by Entombed in Left Hand Path too!  |

It has to be Jaws but I have a lot of appreciation for Night Train Murders. I actually saw both that and Last House on the Left for the very first time together back on the 30th/31st December 2011 (and The Dead Zone). I knew all about Last House but I'd never heard of Night Train Murders which I just decided to grab as well along with Torso and Killer Nun (cheers Shameless for the 3 disc boxset). 14 year old me was blown away by the violence in Last House, which I expected in advance, only to be completely surprised that it was immediately surpassed by Night Train Murders (the knife that gets stuck in Lisa though, damn that's nasty). Even then I noticed the similarities in the two, but both are masterpieces in their own ways, along with similar films like House on the Edge of the Park. I watched Last House twice more in the two days after the initial viewing, Killer Nun and Torso I watched around that time. But Jaws... Christ that's a masterpiece and a half right there. I must have been 4 or 5, it annoys me how I can't remember when I usually remember this stuff, but it scared me a lot. I watched it again earlier this year and it never gets old. Jaws 1 and 2 mean a lot to me (the best thing I can say about the others is that they gave the Nostalgia Critic good material to review them in brilliant reviews) |
