Also great to see two faves of mine, Donald Pleasance and Harry Dean Stanton, sharing the same screen.

I have the R1 SE dvd of this classic
one of Carpenter's best films imo
never get tired of seeing this one

I watched Blood Sisters last night.

An extremely dull, almost bloodless, haunted whorehouse, slasher movie.

How could a film from Roberta Findlay, one of the creative minds behind the "Flesh" trilogy and Snuff be so poor?

I've probably just answered my own question there.

Hawkmonger 10th June 2012 02:04 PM

It can't be any worse than Snuff.
God that was terrible. :coolblue:

Flight Of The Living Dead: Outbreak On A Plane - 2007 US d: Scott Thomas

Preposterous but oddly satisfactory zombie flick made in the wake of the Dawn Of The Dead remake. As fast gymnastic zombie flicks go, I thought this was OK. The characters are quirky, nobody takes anything seriously and it's well filmed. I certainly preferred it to the awful Dawn Of The Dead remake. Kevin J O'Connor is great fun in this.

How can you say that about a film where someone was actually killed on screen?

I just watched the first episode of The Prisoner. Watched about 8 episodes years ago when they showed some re runs but never got to see the end. Hoping to watch one a night over next few weeks.

A Serbian film uncut. Most ****ed up film of all time.

Ogre - 2008 Canada TV d: Steven R Monroe

SyFy channel knock-off of The Village. As silly as you would expect, but imbued with surprisingly good camerawork and decent acting. Far more enjoyable than Shyamalan's effort, though Bryce Dallas Howard would have been nice! :lol:

Even as late as 2008, the film was obviously shot in 4:3 but broadcast and mastered to DVD at 16:9, which leads to several awkward shots with key elements out of frame.

The star of the show is definitely the ogre's loincloth. Got to respect a modest ogre!

Watch Life & Death of a Porno Gang then please;)

The Last House on Dead End St via a pretty shoddy-albeit uncut-VHS bootleg. Funny how the film is basically separated into two very different halves, with the latter definitely living up to its reputation as terminally grimy!

damek 11th June 2012 01:46 PM

Watched Eaten Alive (Lenzi) again, and had to laugh at the end when the helicopter pilot goes:

"It gonna be a hell of a one hell of a fancy trick to pull em out of there."

:pound::crazy::pound:

And what's also funny is that then they land very easily within a few seconds and pick them up, but not before they make it the guy hard to get in by already starting to fly up again before he could even get in.

:pound:

davcol 11th June 2012 06:15 PM

watched the new barbarians and a blade in the dark the other night. thought both were exellent and will be looking to buy them.
got the man from deep river to watch tomorrow, dont have high expectations as its from lovefilm and their disk of lenzis eaten alive was cut to ribbons.

STAR OF DAVID: HUNTING FOR BEAUTIFUL GIRLS - Sleazy Nikkatsu horror - porn from the director of 'School of the Holy Beast'. It's much harsher than the latter film, and features a Nietzsche-quoting nazi rapist who 'hunts for beautiful girls' before giving them a thrashing in the cellar of his mansion. I'm amazed that films like this were produced on relatively big budgets in 70s Japan - it's pretty transgressive, but plays out like an artistically concerned, carefully made studio drama (whilst remaining utterly exploitative in tone). There are subtexts involving the nature of good and evil, nature versus nurture and the fate of a humanity which teeters on the brink of its spiritual void, but most will remember it for endless crotch zooms in Bava-lit dungeons and a vibe of sheer hatred.
DAMONENBRUT - Andreas Bethmann always seems to get dissed for his own brand of porno horror, but I take it for what it is. In this case, the first hour for me definitely outweighs the second in terms of interest - what starts as a shoddy but dream-like amalgam of nudity, tentacle porn and slo-mo demonic cackling gives way to more a more conventional zombie shoot-'em-up. I imagine the live action hentai aspect of this remains the selling point for interested parties - it's brief, but oddly satisfying in an x-rated Pertwee era Dr Who type special effect kind of way. I wouldn't call it 'fun', but it's at least a sickly delight for those who know what they're in for.

It certainly delivers if you're into harsher Nikkatsu... maybe wouldn't try to import though (it's not that bad, but I get paranoid about these things anyway).

Guyana: Cult of the Damned- Wait....JOHNSONTOWN?!
The Dude: "Johnson?"
It's freakin' JOHNSTOWN, BUDDY! Though to be fair this is a risky subject (The mass suicide of several dozen deluded religion nut's) that had plenty of press coverage. This biographical exploitation flick (Does this sub-genre even exist?) is rather eary and the mass suicide scene is rather disturbing and quite potent.
An interesting watch but not one i'll be revisiting soon.

Every time I've seen the DVD on Amazon etc. it's always been pretty pricey. As it is not too high on my priority list, I've always skipped it in favour of something else. I do like some of the harsher Nikkatsu (Assault! Jack the Ripper etc.), so will definitely have to bite the bullet and check it out eventually.

Definitely worth a watch, and a couple of notches above 'Assault...' depravity wise. Speaking of which, glad you reminded me of that one, must check it out again...

I did indeed! :nod:

Thanks for the recommendation; I've got plenty of other '40s films lined up on my rental list that I'm very much looking forward to watching! :)

Yep, all done now - I forgot how hard going those last few 'sequels' were: especially when you're watching them back-to-back! :D

I've seen it before, but I'm looking to watch some of the Universal Monster sequels, so thought I'd revisit some of the originals first!

The Wolf Man, whilst not my favourite universal monster series, is still a fantastic film.

Chain Letter (2010)

http://wreckhousemagazine.com/wp-con...inLetter44.jpg

Standard horror that's straight out of the Saw/Slasher Handbook. If you've seen any of those films, then you won't find anything new here. My god, i've never seen so much use of mobile phones in a single film, it's like an advert for them. Even the films killer is unoriginal, he is an exact copy of Coffin Baby from The Toolbox Murders (2004).


Movies i've watched in 2012. list

It's such a bloody awful film, I don't even know how it got made. It just sort of fizzles out and finishes without a real ending

Demdike@Cult Labs 11th June 2012 10:04 PM

@ The 4th Fella. - Have you only seen eighteen films this year? :confused:

Just been reading your list.
