Ignore Loops (:tongue1:), I have to agree that Black Demons isn't the as bad as its reputation would have you believe. :peace:

:biggrin:

Its ****ing awful:chainsaw:

I agree matey!! :biggrin:

:mad::chainsaw:


:biggrin:

Black Demons is even worse than The House of Witchcraft, and that film is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

"Raising Jeffrey Dahmer" -

Started off okay. This was actually a pretty interesting look at the effect Dahmer's crimes and arrests had on his family...far more "Living with what Jeffrey Dahmer Did" as much as "Raising Jeffery Dahmer".

Acting varies, the film is low budget and there is actually very little of Dahmer's crimes or actions on show here at all, but it managed to hold the interest as we saw the stress and hardship (and lies) the parents faced from the media.

But then the film throws Bo Svenson in 2 scenes as a fictional Detective and promptly has him do absolutely nothing at all plotwise...until a completely farcical, totally made-up, action that seems like it comae from a completely separate film.

From here on the film seems to have run out of things to say or show and frustratingly (despite the film's title) jumps over too many interesting events in the older Dahmer's life with his Dad (like his Dad's realisation about Dahmer's first killing...which amazingly gets mentioned in the film and then ignored by the film in the same scene).

As such it all plods to a weak finale that's a real shame because it started out well and had potential but ultimately fails by simply giving up on its own story after an hour.

:eek: C'mon loops it's not that bad! I've seen a hell of a lot worse. :biggrin: I'd say it was about on-par with Nightmare City for me. :nod: ;)

I do stick up for Lenzi a hell of a lot; but I think he's very unfairly treated! :tsk: :lol:

See - Phil's got good taste! :tongue1: :jest:

Don't ever mention Nightmare City in the same sentence as BD. I love NC:chainsaw:

I think Lenzi is unfairly treated but BD, Hells Gate and House of Witchcraft are at the very bottom of the italian horror barrel IMO.

Lenzi is average in general I suppose...But very true, no one should ever say anything bad about the GEM that is "Nightmare City". The damn thing glitters like the gold it is!

Watched paris lockdown last night.Gritty french gangster flick,which ticked all the right boxes for me.

Had one of the best double bills in a long time last thursday night...zombieland and night of the creeps. Oh yeah!!!:rockon:

THOW is pretty bloody dull. I thought House Of Lost Souls was ok though :peep:

I'm not a huge fan of NC, which is probably why I rate BD about the same :behindsofa: (hides from another chainsawing... )

House of Witchcraft was made for TV, so I'll let him off with that, but do agree that Hell's Gate is a tad shite. The cover of my EC release is marginally more interesting than the film. :lol:

The boy did good with Oasis of Fear too!!

:nod:

And Spasmo. Just need a release of Paranoia now... ;)

I agree with yer on that one:nod:

Seven Bloodstained Orchids and Spasmo are excellent giallo's.

And Almost Human and er... Black Demons?

Battleforce and Eyeball are quite good.

Gotta be done! :lol:

:chainsaw::chainsaw::chainsaw::chainsaw::chainsaw:

Yeah, I really liked Eyeball. Knife of Ice would be welcome too. Seven Blood Stained Orchids is probably my favourite Lenzi gialli though.

I even have a soft spot for Nightmare Beach and Hitcher in the Dark! :fear:

I think Umberto should get his own thread. Anyone else?

Your chainsaws are no match for my machine gun loops...

Second...ed?!

Third! :third:

Think again, tough guy!! Tee hee

Who me... ;) (*Cough EDITED Cough*) :dance:

Smooth, daddy... smooth! :cool:

Anyways, I'm off to educate m'lady in the ways of Dawn of the Dead on Blu-ray! :peace:

If it's her first time be gentle Phil ;) :thumb:

I'll save the Director's Cut for another time! :thumb:

Recently watched Session 9 and Return of the Living Dead III

I love Session 9 re.form - what did you think of it?

This was my favourite of the series.

Session 9 is a classic.
Full of atmosphere and dread :)
One of the best psychological horrors I have seen. :thumb:

Pink Floyd: The Wall

The film that inspired many of my school generation to yell "Hey teacher, leave those kids alone" (before running rapidly down the next corridor to escape). You don't have to be a Pink Floyd aficionado to appreciate this (I'm only a fan of their early Syd Barrett years) but either way this nightmarish, nihilistic movie stays with you long after you've seen it. I first 'experienced' it back in 1982 on the cinema, and left feeling as if I'd been hit by a very large train.

The 'AA' rating at the time was remarkably lenient, given the quite graphic violence, sexual footage (including hints of oral sex and a brief glimpse of lower female nudity during a sex scene), self mutilation (Geldof wincingly razoring his chest and hacking his eyebrows off), and a brief but nasty sexual assault scene (a woman being forcibly stripped topless). Even today it's a remarkably powerful film though it leaves you feeling physically drained. There's no humour or light relief in this film whatsoever, and even Gerald Scarfe's outstanding (and equally bloody/sexual) animations contain images that stay with you for a long time. For me this was more horrific than most horror films at that time.

Bob Geldof is mesmerising as Pink. Even though his lines are limited to mumbled dialogue (as are everyones) and one song (In The Flesh), you can't take your eyes off him. Especially his unforgettable hotel trashing scene ("Take that, f***ers!"). Sharp eyed viewers will spot Bob Hoskins as Geldof's agent, former Boney star James Laurenson as his father, Philip Davis & Gary Olsen as roadies, a young Joanne Whalley as a short-skirted groupie, and even Floyd maestro Roger Waters himself at Geldof's wedding.

An awesome movie that has to be experienced at least once. You wouldn't want to do it too often.

I've been meaning to see that film for ages now, Vince. Just never gotten around to it. I swear it was on TV not long ago.

The album is incredible and easily one of my favs - "If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat!!!"

Last night I watched Fulci's Conquest - a very enjoyable film, VERY strange but a lot of fun nonetheless. Violent chewbaccas, a naked woman who gets sexual pleasure from a snake and of course ZOMBIES! What more could you ask for?! :laugh:

Those lines are in the film too. The teacher is brilliantly played by Alex McAvoy.

I bought The Wall album back in 1980 (most of my lot did) though I was never a huge fan of it. Much preferred Floyd's psychedelic days. Even Geldof himself admits to not being a fan, which makes his performance even more credible. The film was (and is) so startling an experience that even non-fans of the album tend to revisit it though.

It sure ain't Abba: The Movie. :laugh:

It's worth watching this movie based on the sound design alone - the audio from the old tape recordings is one of the best things I've come across in a movie in quite a while. Brilliant. (They rest of the movie is great as well, btw!:happy:)

Mine too. I love the first two for a larf, but this one is funny and weirdly, manages to be kind of semi-serious. (I think, anyway...all that self mutilation and doomed romance ;))

I like alot of Brian Yuzna's movies. Society and the Re-animator sequels being faves, but this one is a not so guilty pleasure.
