when it comes to show being canceled, the studios look at a rating system called the Nielson system, this is a small box that tv views have in there homes that monitors what you are viewing, there is only a small percentage of homes that have this box, but the studios only use the figures from those viewers. this is unfair to the people who actually watch the show. When the TV show Jericho aired in the U.S it got canceled after its first season, but the fans wouldn't take it so set up a sort of protest where 1000s of nuts were sent to CBS studios until the studio relented and commissioned a 7 episode 2nd season to end it all. The nielson box is a pain in the arse and causes a lot of show to get taken of air too early. With The Blade series, that originally aired on Spike TV in the U.S and hardly anyone watched it as it was a dificult channel to get.

i understand what your saying, but he takes these elements an instead outright stealing them, he uses them and puts his own spin it. Take the second half of Death Proof, it's vanishing point buy way of Switchblade sisters, he's taken elements from those films and homaged them, im a big tarantino fan and i love his films. i don't think you'd get done for copyright if you made the kind of films he does, not if you do them in an original way.

I'm a huge fan of '30s and '40's horror. The Mummy is probably not the best place to start with Universal. Good film but for me, all their Mummy series are some of the lesser movies. I'd go straight to the other classics. I wouldn't call any of them scary in this day and age although Dracula still has a wonderfully eerie atmosphere and it's worth seeing the Spanish version too. Frankenstein and Bride Of Frankenstein are masterpieces. There really are so many greats from that era. Val Lewton, The Wolf Man, The Black Cat, The Raven, Black Friday, Freaks, The Karloff mad doctor movies.. all relatively short as well so you can have a really fun five-hour session and get through about four movies, haha!

Have you watched the B/W version of The Mist? It oozes an atmosphere that's missing from the colour version. If you haven't seen it, I recommend you check it out.

B+W horror is cool, the haunting and House on Haunted Hill are great films, also Mario Bava's early stuff is great...

Totally agree mate. those litle things make all the difference.

Nights of Terror is the original title. It's known in the USA as Burial Ground (though the dvd print has the original title) and in some parts as Zombie 3 (not to be confused with Fulci/Mattei's Zombi 3, 1988)). The 'Zombie Dead' title was only used by Vipco.

Get the Grindhouse Releasing 2 Disc, it's fully uncut!

There was a time when extended edition or director's cut actually meant something,especially im the early to mid 90's with the popularity of laserdisc,The Abyss and T2 being prime examples.Nowadays,more often than not,it's just a marketing tool used to generate a few more sales.

Each is entitled to their own view on horror, but I happen to like most of the stuff Lionsgate has put out over the course of the last decade
The thing long term horror fans like to forget when they rant about modern mainstream horror is that "we" (us who grew up with 70's-80's genre flicks) are NOT the main target group, hence those films catering to different tastes and demands than "ours".

I luv it when that happens! It's great!

Was it the Friday the 13th remake or the original? If it was the remake, I can understand why she left the cinema so quickly!

interesting rant, i only have a few gripes, first off Lionsgate are not a film studio they're a distribution company, everything they release is aquired through sales and marketing. The cuts to gore is usally due to either the MPAA or the BBFC, Second, hostel was released by Sony Picture not lionsgate and Rob zombies first film was dropped by universal after the film was made, so Lionsgate picked up the distribution rights. I agree that the serial killer films are utter ass but as i said, they didn't make them they only distribute them. The Hurt Locker was handled by Lionsgate UK in britain and that was a powerful multi oscar winning film.

They work alot like Dimension pictures do, they distribute genre pictures financed by either the Wienstien company or Miramax or independently produced films bought by the former and the latter companys.

Sorry dude thats just my 2 cents. i like to encourage lionsgate because they are a relatively new company (formed in 1995) and they're giving younger new filmakers a helping hand in releasing their films. Murder-Set-Pieces was released in selected theaters in america with an uncut NC-17 rating and on dvd in an R rating to get a wider audience it has subsequently been release in an uncut and R rated dvd, the uncut is still short as it is more a directors cut because scenes that were removed were to be removed during the editing process anyway...

It would be good to see the 6th, 7th and 8th Hellraiser instalments on DVD in the UK, however dire they may be, if not only for completists sake.

They are all available from the Netherlands if you are looking for a R2 alternative to the US releases too.

As for Hellraiser in general, the UK is severely lacking a definitive special edition of the first two movies as well, in my opinion. The US have the luxury of the Starz/Anchor Bay special versions.
