What Films Have You Seen Recently?

[mark meakin]

The Fox Horror Classics set is also worth check out for the two Laird Cregor films The Lodger & Hangover Square & the beautifully atmospheric Undying Monster (aka The Hammond Mystery).Fans are also advised to pick up The Masters Of Horror set which contains Dr X,The Reurn Of Dr X,Devil Doll,Mask Of Fu Manchu & Mark Of The Vampire.I'm also a fan of the subtle Val Lewton produced RKO horror films which I have on a nice r1 set.The Bodysnatchers & Cat People are particular classics.

If it's cut badly I'll probably just order AB's 'Twitch of the Death Nerve' R1 Version.

Cheers in advance

I think the UK release is missing the best part of a minute.Image released the r1 version uncut & that's the version I have though the sound is not great.The BBFC cuts on the dvd are the same as the Redemption video judging by the RT.:-

I definitely agree NOTS was the worse as Ghost Galleon did have a few atmospheric scenes aboard the galleon.The modelwork during the ships destruction however is the worst I've EVER seen in a film.

Thats not too bad I suppose, shouldn't ruin the film too much. I probably will get the R1 version eventually I was just dreading watching the one I have now only for it to be cut to pieces. Cheers for the info mate.

Here are the cuts from Melonfarmers which are pretty ruinous SPOILERS FOLLOW !:-
The first murder of a teenage girl loses 2s in 2 cuts, the first of her throat being cut from behind and the other of a graphic hatchet blow to the head.
21s (nearly the entire scene) is cut from a boy dying with a machete embedded in his face.
3 cuts totally 9s diminish the death of couple impaled with a spear whilst making love. We love the blood welling from the wounds and their writhing whilst impaled.
11s has been cut from the death of Simon being forced up a wall by a spear impaled in his stomach.

The cuts do spoil the film though because everytime there is a murder the scene ends abruptly.

Ah, yeah they do sound pretty bad. Looks like I'll definatley be getting the R1 version then, I haven't seen it yet but I'm guessing that's most of the death scenes (If not all of them) that have been cut. Thanks again, might put this one further back in my to watch list knowing that.

Yeah definetly! The 'Blind Dead' quadrillogy RULES!


Watched a NON-HORROR film (wow! I know! ) last night - "South Park: Bigger, Longer And Uncut"! 5/5 THE FUNNIEST ANIMATION EVER IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND AND IT'S FUTURE! It's soo funny! If you haven't seen this I would absolutly recommend you see it (have a break from horror one night!) It's superb. And I share my name with one of the characters!!!!!

That "movie has warped my fragile little mind"

Agreed, 'South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut' is a brilliant movie. It's so funny, I really like Trey Parker and Matt Stones stuff. 'Orgazmo' is another great film by them and 'Cannibal: The Musical' is pretty good aswell.

Have you seen the South Park 3 parter 'Imagination Land', That's hilarious! They were going to make that into a new movie originally but decided against it, I think it's in Season 10, maybe 11, can't remember for definate.
