Did you collect any of the Santos films while in Mexico Cloud. ?

I did indeed collect a few Santo DVDs while there, the ones unavailable in the US at least. I left them all behind though, I do plan on fetching them over at a later date however.

Watched Bava's The Girl Who Knew Too Much last night - an absolutly amazingly fantastic superb masterpiece! Also, just got Chopper Chicks In Zombietown in the post today - very different from TGWKTM, but looks like a lot of fun! :D

They showed Frogs on Zone Horror this week. It was surprisingly good!

Eden lake arrived today. Mbv se,eden lake and pear cider...looks like its gonna be a fun weekend.:cool:

Got round to watching Chopper Chicks In Zombietown last night! Not the best film ever - but it was a lot of fun!!!!! Well, I liked it anyway.:p :blush:

chopper chicks is pretty funny in places :)

Watched TAKEN with Liam Neeson last night.Excellent mindless entertainment.
Jason Bourne's uncle....;)

Watched HIT AND RUN tonight,not bad but nothing brilliant.Steals umpteen ideas from other movies.Tall Dude,you might like it.....;)

Yes this film was a nice surprise & It's good to see it doing well at the US box office too.

Prophecy is one of my favorite monster films. I have the US DVD release of it. The picture quality is excellent and it's widescreen, but there's no extras on the disc, not even a trailer!

I had the r1 but when I found out it was out in Germany & Holland uncut I bought the r2.

I just bought The Pit/Hellgate after looking through cheap Anchor Bay DVDs on Amazon, I haven't seen either but this line from DVD Verdict sold me:


What do a demonic teddy bear and Horshak from Welcome Back, Kotter have in common? They are both stars of two of the most $%#@-ed up movies ever made.



I didn't need to read the rest of the review.

The Escapees
Two young women escape from a 'correction centre' and team up with a band of travellers / performance artists. As ever, great photography and bizarre sequences abound, resulting in an entertaining film from Jean Rollin.
If you're a fan of Rollin ( which I am ) and Night Of The Hunted ( ditto ) you should like this.
Pretty good pq and features a nice interview with Rollin, which is interspersed with clips from a number of his films. Recommended.

Paganinni Horror
Oh gawd. Crap female rock band finds 'haunted' music sheet which turns them into equally crap rock band. Paganinni's ghost appears at certain times and starts killing people. This is absolute pants. Don't bother.

Not reading Mojo...I've still to watch THE ESCAPEES....;)

Sorry, reaper - I've edited my post ( above ) to avoid any possible spoilers. Anyway, hope you enjoy the dvd.

Gonna watch it at the weekend Moj....

Got the French version of Necronomicon. Great transfer, really good picture. Shame the French subtitles are burned in, but a really good package. Better film than I remembered it being too.

Picked up the MGM Essential Horror Collection the other week.
It includes The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Stigmata and Carrie. :p

Also picked up Urotsukidoji III: The Return of the Overfiend. :woot:

Waiting for:

Killer Qeen box - No Shame
Big Alligator River - no shame
Heavens Gate - R1
Who Saw Her Die? - Shameless
SS Hell Pack - Shreik Show

Conquest
Sword & Sorcery aint really my thang - I only bought this cos of Fulci. I ended up getting carried along with the weirdness / silliness of it all. Lots of good action sequences with plenty of Fulci style splattery gore. Great fun.

The Cursed Medallion
Another one originally scheduled to be released by Redemption VHS back in the day. A few ropey effects aside, this is an enjoyable Omen / Exorcist crossover from Massimo Dallamano. I like Dallamano's style. Give this one a spin.

:)

Picked up the R2 Tartan release of Return of the Living Dead. Complete with the original soundtrack! :D

I have the Italian release of The Cursed Medallion on DVD. Well worth a watch.:popcorn:

Bloodbath at the House of Death - Havent seen this for years, looking forward to seeing it again.

Picked up death ship in blockbuster yesterday for £3.99. Bargain!

Drive in classics vol.2,nightmare in blood,the last days of planet earth and hammerhead all arrived in the post over the past few days,now its finding time to watch the bloody things.

Also got the eddie murphy collection(golden child,norbit and coming to america) for £5.99 from morrisons and the two disc spider man 2 from morrisons for £2!! Yowza!:cool:

A mate of mine bought me a BRILLIANT Ed Wood Boxset! 6 films; Glen Or Glenda, Jail Bait, Night Of The Ghouls, Plan 9 From Outer Space, Bride Of The Monster, The Violent Years!

:woot::woot: I've been meaning to see some Ed Wood films! They look so bad! I luv it! :D

I've been wanting Nightmare In Blood ever since I got rid of my VHS copy of it, it's not as if it's expensive either as Amazon have it for about £2.50 last time I checked.

"One thing's certain. Inspector Clay is dead....... murdered....... AND SOMEBODY'S RESPONSIBLE!!!"

They're absolutely abysmal. I adore them. :D

Make sure you watch Johnny Depp's superb performance as Ed Wood in the Tim Burton film. The recreations of Wood's movies are stunning.

Your right Conquest is great fun despite how silly it is.

Just ordered the R2 ABUK releases of The Dead Next Door and Q: The Winged Serpent.

Also picked up the The Kadokawa Horror Collection! :D
For those interested the set includes the films: Inugami, Shikoku, Shadow of the Wraith and Isola.

Looking forward to watching Q! :p

Q is brilliant! Larry Cohen's best film along with God Told Me To.

Thats where i got mine from,and at that price i was well happy.:)

I got the following Vhs tapes:

The Price of Power ( Tonio Valleri )
Drive In Massacre
Hard Boiled 2
Truck Turner

Hey loops have you seen Drive In Massacre yet? I picked up the Vipco R2 DVD of it a while back and it's been sitting on my shelf waiting to watched ever since. May just give it a spin tonight! :p

I saw Drive in Massacre a few years ago it's alright nothing special though.

What vipco dvd is it? Screamtime or Vaults?

Ordered glass trap,giant ants on the loose in an apartment block,directed by fred olen ray..well i had to buy it!!:cool:

Also ordered the late 80's slasher,slaughterhouse.Aint seen this in yonks.

Screamtime unfortunately so it's without that glorious artwork... :mad: Still it's uncut so I can't complain too much.

Been trying to hunt down Vipco DVD's and VHS lately. Preferably with the artwork intact. :p Managed to track down a copy of The Incredible Melting Man on VHS recently which I'm pleased about but it's becoming more and more difficult to find Vipco now. (Apart from the screamtime collection!)

I have 41 VIPCO dvd's(not screamtime+ i have spare copys of Cannibal Ferox and HBTC ) and 26 vhs tapes, and yes they really are hard to find.

A Screamtime DVD of Night Of The Demon is residing in my local charity shop as we speak. :ack:

Hopefully some nice film company will re-release it in its uncut form. :D
