All in all, it was a bit of a weird film but good fun.:crazy: UPDATE: Just saw the imdb post and it is indeed the film. Will try to add it to the growing collection and wants list. Thanks guys. |
Monster Man is an incredible film. One of the best 00's horror films! :) |
Herostratus - Cool 60's film about a guy who sells his suicide to an advertising company. Gritty and stylish. Fish Story - Japanese film about a 70's punk band and it's connection to saving the world from a meteor. Really clever and very enjoyable. Danger Diabolik! - Over the top and fun 60's film based on a comic about a professional thief. Great sets and pretty cool overall. |
[QUOTE=Inspector Tanzi;108689]Shoot 'Em Up - Great fun, mindless but purely enjoyable! http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/q...a2/shooten.jpg And coincidentally, Shoot 'Em Up was directed by the guy who did Monster Man! |
I hated Shoot 'Em Up but Monster Man sounds much more enjoyable! |
Bride of Frankenstein (1935) And btw - Monster Man is brilliant. Great fun. |
Not Like Others -- a Swedish vampire film about two sisters who are pursued by a biker gang when one that kills their leader in a club. Pretty good overall although it's not a patch on Let the Right One In. Possession -- originally on the DPP's list of 72, this is a startling drama that turns into an extremely disturbing horror film featuring a really young Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani. Venus in Furs -- much better than when I first saw it as a seems less pretentious and a bit more serious in its treatment of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's work. |
THE CRAZIES, not bad for a remake, though lacks some of the dreamier images from the original. Nice cameo from Lynn Lowry. THE BAMBOO HOUSE OF DOLLS, over the top W.I.P. exploiter, that delivers on the sex and violence, and has a great theme tune over the demented, knicker obsessed title scenes. |
Frontiers - Kept my attention throughout, good storyline, pretty violent, all in all good film. :D |
Junge Burger - such a funny and imature animated film! P.S. :laugh:Willies! :laugh: |
Watched The Brides of Dracula last night. Not the best Hammer film I've seen. Saw Observe and Report which was quite funny and Played some less heard of Queen song:woot: |
Last night I watched the blatant rip-off Halloween Night, straight from the poundland. Sure it's obviously a cash in - the dvd even features the same font as the Halloween release not to mention the story being pretty similar -but it's still a pretty enjoyable film. Not amazing but not a turd either. The killer looked particularly deformed (NOES?) and whilst the kills weren't exactly original either, or long, it had a strong emphasis on plot. If you see this in Poundland, I say give it a try. |
The Wild Geese - watched the Blu Ray, looks nice, I forgot how enjoyable this film is (and how annoying Richard Harris' son is). Some of you know me already, those of you who don't are in for a great big ****ing surprise! http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/q.../wildgeese.jpg |

Looks pretty good. :) |
I haven't seen the trailer but I was assured on the way out that the film is very different that the impression given by the trailer -- it is very slowly paced and much more deliberate that in the trailer. |
Razorback An Ozsploitation film about a killer razorback (a boar). It wasnt quite the crazy Mad Max meets moster movie I was expecting. A more apt description might be Jaws in the out back. The film builds slowly, and relies heavily on atmosphere. The massive razorback doesnt look overly impressive but the film makers have kept shots of it to a miniumum sensibly deciding less is more when it comes to their monster. The real stand out part of Razorback is the cinematograpy. All shots are beautifully framed and lit, especially the night scenes. The couple of surreal scenes, one a dream and the other, possibly a mirrage, fit really well into the film as well. I'm not sure it's for everyone but I enjoyed Razorback |
Yeah I liked RAZORBACK as well.WB is supposively releasing a decent DVD release of this some time soon. |
Solomon Kane Mulan (live action) The Banquet - An enjoyable re-working of Hamlet. Day of the Dead (original version) |
Just watched Martyrs. It was really good up until there was like half hour left, then it got a bit samey. I liked to ending though. |

The Social Network -- a remarkably enthralling and engrossing film that sucks you in despite the split time narrative and Justin Timberlake playing a guy who you just want to punch every time he opens his mouth! It proves that David Fincher is still one of the finest directors operating and there is more to Jesse Eisenberg than what we saw in Zombieland. |

I was amazed at how Jesse Eisenberg actually managed to deliver his dialogue at such speed and with so much technical jargon -- that initial sequence when he is setting up the 'facesmash'[?] website is unbelievable. |
I heard that the David Fincher didnt think they would be able to fit the whole story into a 2hr film and keep all the fantastic dialouge, so he just got everyone to talks as fast as possilbe. |
Ah, so that's why Jesse Eisenberg sounded hyperactive at times! I was amazed at the amount of information they packed into the film and the running time just flew by -- it seemed about an hour long which is always a good thing. |
I just don't think I can watch a film about anything to do with Facebook, despite David Fincher! Revisited Bob Clark's Black Christmas last night for the first time in years. Still stands up as a great, very tense proto-slasher that was years ahead of it's time. Got to pick up the Blu-Ray sometime and see for myself how it looks. |
That's the funny thing -- most of the film isn't about Facebook, but about the process of building a website, creating demand and how many toes you have to tread on in order to succeed. It has an extremely interesting central character in Mark Zuckerberg who is an absolutely fascinating individual. |
Just back from a screening of Island of Death..what a mental movie. Funny as hell but yet very disturbing. Have to admit that I enjoyed every sleazy minute of it. Director did a Q & A with Calum too Also got to watch Inferno Bluray the other day, blown away by this. Some scenes were crystal clear and although some scenes had some grain in it this is the best it's ever looked. Human Centipede...Hate it when a movie is hyped up as the most disturbing movie of the year. Thought it was ok, the whole idea of it disgusted me and it's one of those movies you are watching and then you realise you have a face on like a bulldog licking piss off a nettle. Story wise there's not much to it really. The bad guy is up there with on screen mental sicko's though. |
THE ZODIAC KILLER. This 1971 oddity is more fiction than fact. The film starts with a 40 minute red herring before the identity of the Zodiac is shown however it's a great red herring, ending in a scene with a crazed father threatening to saw his daughter in half because as he tells his ex-wife "she's half mine"! The film then goes completely barmy as we see the Zodiac at home worshipping strange Gods and himself, before he goes out and kills again and again and again. He also spends a lot of time looking after his pet rabbits. The best kill in the film is when he traps an old lady under the bonnet of her car then jumps up and down on the bonnet laughing his head off! THE RITUAL OF DEATH. Brazilian madness featuring such delights as disembowelment by: claw hammer, smoke machine fan propeller, wheel of truck on which the smoke machine rests and a mind boggling strangulation in a bath full of water that causes the victims eyes to pop out and float to the top! The plot concerns some nonsense about Egyptian death cults, a stage play, demonic possession and indigenous Indians. If all that wasn't enough it contains a sex scene in a bath which involves a real severed goats head:eek: |
Apparently the police did a stake out at (the few) local screenings of The Zodiac Killer in the hope he would show up to watch it. ;) |

I think they were looking for suspicious characters... ;) They did have a description of him by that time it seems. |
Watched Phenomena on Horror channel last night. I liked it alot. The way that the paronormal, suspense and mystery elements blended so well. Just when I thought the film was ending rather flat. There is a killer finish:pound: I am liking Argento more with each film I see. |
Rashomon. |
The Initiation - loved it, delivered everything an 80's slasher should! |
