Your Favourite Horror Film from 1972

[Pete]

I have that set & have only watched both films once and, as I said, I couldn't get into to them but that was a few years ago so I think I should give them another chance.

since noone seemed to notice il stick up for PINK FLAMINGOES. in its complete form it beats hands down these modern "ultrashockers", still makes people squirm (even the guy who sat through an u/c CH recently)...oh and nae Death Line? shame, tops my list...

It's good to see some love for Pink Flamingos - and what a completely twisted tale of shocking debauchery it is too. My favourite Waters film by far.

As for Death Line, I'm not a huge fan but it's definitely worth a watch.

It's true about Pink Flamingos as it is a film that really sets out to shock and does exactly that, from the old woman in the playpen to the unfortunate chicken and the infamous dog turd scene -- it's far from the easiest film to watch!

the bit where they break in to their nemesis' lair and start licking everything remains a highlight...though i prefer Female Trouble as a film, PF still unbeaten for sheeer WTFness....

I chose Death Line too, an excellent film with fine performances from Donald Pleasence and Hugh Armstrong.I chose it because it's so different to the Hammer and Amicus films around at the time of it's release, and the concept was so gruesome and original.

Death Line is another great UK set shocker.

I wonder just how far and deep the London Underground does go.......
