Wolf
Forgotten how I love this movie, a great take on the werewolf movie, with a top notch cast and fantastic performances especially Nicholson (as usual) who even in scenes without makeup gives a amazing portrayal of his lupine nature. Definitely a better love story than twilight then just about anything else is. But for some reason I kept expecting to see Kelsey grammer! 9.5/10

Jack Brooks Monster Slayer

Wanted to love this movie but I couldn't
Not even the great Robert Englund could rescue
this movie, though he was quite funny in it.
The 'Monsters' of the title really only appeared in the
last twenty five minutes or so.
No, not happy :doh:

WIthIN aka The Cavern (2005)

2005 seems to have been the year of cave-horror with The Descent,The Cave and this film being released (does anyone know of others btw?).

Not bad at all and better than The Cave (starts great but runs out of steam quickly,especially the finale is rather meh) imho.

I'd describe it as The Descent meets Cold Prey. ;)

I hadn't heard of this but, with a description like that, I'll definitely give it a watch.

Curious about your findings Nos. ;)

Is this the one? The Cavern [DVD], New DVD, , 5035822492233 | eBay

I've always steered clear of The Cavern as The Cave put me off potholing movies for good.

Wow - no one on Amazon has a good word to say about it. From 20 reviews. :eek:

Yes,that's the one.

Lots of films I love that have gotten poor reviews from amazon, that's why I take the reviews especially horrors on amazon with a very large pinch of salt, what's funny is when you look at what other films some of them have reviewed and actually like!

Plenty of people sell it for 1p (plus postage) as Amazon, so this might be worth a blind buy.

Watched this today GORDON'S ALIVE! ,yes he is Prince Vultan and he's gonna punch Mings face in.

I found a positive review. ;)

"3.0 out of 5 stars The Cavern, 17 Dec 2010
By mr. michael healy (york., york. United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cavern [DVD] (DVD)
Strange tension building.At first predicable story board.Then not so shure,twists and turns in the cave and in the way the tension builds.Shocks and confuses viewer throughout leading to a shocking and unpredicable climax.May be a low budget film but limitations of budget soon forgot as tension mounts."

Btw the shaking camera is not that bad/often used in this one and I hate shaking cameras.
People complain much of it plays in the dark...they're in a cave what do they expect? :lol:


If you can get it for 1p...

I very much agree with you, but i would still expect to see someone stick up for a film.

3.1 on IMDB and 34% on Rotten Tomatoes as well. :lol:

I've ordered it anyway. :loco:

I've just ordered one, so I'll let you know what I think in due course.

Like I mentioned on the previous page I found a positive review Dem. ;)

Hope you both at least enjoy it somewhat.

What can i say only AWESOME :pound:

I missed your post Bdc. Sometimes when its the last on a page and you post the first on the next it never takes you back to the unread post. :)

Parts 2 and 3 are worth checking out as well. Part 2 was made by Aussie exploitation maestro BRIAN TRENCHARD-SMITH and is out on Blu-ray (region locked) from Olive films. It looks spiffing and has a commentary.

Part 3 should cost next to nothing. Out in the UK as DEMON HOUSE http://www.amazon.co.uk/Demon-House-...ds=demon+house

and will set you back less than 2 quid including postage.

Watched Signs last night for the first time in 9 years, used to love this film. Now, however, I felt it was awful

Got the third one but never watched it, think it was about 25p from cex!

No one lives ,

Wondering if its a film worth watching ?
Because the title gives it away as in everyone dies so you know how it ends, or if anyone survived then wasn't the title false advertising mmmm..:rolleyes:

I'm watching as it as I type this ....

Easy Rider (1969) Vanishing Point (1971)

Two classic, extremely influential films, both essentially road trips discovering America and both seen as a free spirited reaction against the values of society. Two films with fantastic photography and even better soundtracks. Vanishing Point being more of a spectacular road chase movie than the laid back Easy Rider. Each film has its heroes meeting oddball characters on their journey.

Much has been written about both films and their portrayals of American life and values, yet not so much how i see them. To me both films, Easy Rider in particular, are bittersweet tragedies verging on horror. Sure, neither film features chainsawing wielding psycopaths or homicidal rapists on the hunt for young women, but neither film ends well for the characters we come to love as the films progress.

Easy Rider in particular ends so matter of factly its downright disturbing. Our riders Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda both gunned down, basically for having long hair and riding motorcycles, which the locals in the American south didn't approve of. Its this sequence, the murder of free spirit which is genuinely horrifying has has a greater feel of despair and horror than the majority of fear films that set out to achieve these ends.

In the case of Vanishing Point's Kowalski, he takes that much speed and other drugs during his high speed pursuits his faculties are clearly twisted as the inevitable conclusion nears with his task near completion. Our other reference point in the film - Super Soul - brilliantly portrayed by Cleavon Little - receives a beating almost unnecesarily from the locals which jars the viewer into reality from all the high speed fun.

Easy Rider and Vanishing Point - horror films because they fail to conform to what possibly the viewer and certainly society see as the norm.

Watched Near Dark. It has been a while and I may have detected some clunk after all this time, but it still beats the donkey piss out of The Least Boys:nod:



IMO.

Near dark is the better movie but I find lost boys a lot more fun but both are a million times better than those twilight movies.

I'm not rising to the bait here :lol:

I watched the DC of the Wicker Man earlier today, can't wait to see this classic in HD, especially the poor quality inserts on the DVD upgraded for the first time :woot:

Ditto. Yeah, some of those inserts are rotten, especially when it happens within the same shot. I wonder when we'll get news of any newly unearthed footage . . . ?

Hopefully soon :pray:

Looking forward to the alternate ending where Howie manages to pilot the Wicker Man like a Pacific Rim Jaeger, and uses it to kill all the townsfolk and walk across the sea to freedom :nod: . . .

Dammit SJ, where's the SPOILER TAGS around that post, cancelling my pre-order now the endings ruined for me :mmph:

Cage really had no need to whine if this was what was in store for him.:pound:

Watched the remake of Maniac last night, loved it; Elijah Wood did a tremendous job of acting in the film, soundtrack was great and loved how they did the first person narrative

Watched Evil Clergymen, played like an episode of Masters of Horror. Did enjoy it though!

Castle Freak is excellent, PQ drops in a few places but otherwise good BD package.

I've no idea which Pacific Rim film some of you guys have seen, but the one me and my son have just watched was frigging awesome, didn't find any of it boring and I didn't once think I was watching a Michael Bay film (who's films I happen to enjoy, especially the oft panned Transformers films). Parts were predictable, but most films are these days, so that wasn't a shock.
Definite day one purchase for me and I'm considering taking him again, but this time in 3D, that's how much we both enjoyed it!

Rewatched Kill List last night. Only just noticed a certain thing towards the end in the shape of the cult symbol :doh: Not that it 'explains' anything, but it was a nice touch I thought . . .

I'm surprised as well Rik.

Its clear what its about -Giant robots and monsters beating the shit out of each other. If it doesn't float your boat then why the hell have you bought a ticket?

Personally i'm not bothered about seeing it, but its target audience should love it.

I'm going to see Pacific Rim tomorrow and have kept a completely open mind so far, so will be able to watch it without any expectations one way or the other.

I've not got around to going to see Pacific Rim yet, but I do find it odd hearing comments such as this made by.my brother-in-law - "It was ok but it's just big robots bashing big monsters".
Well erm...what were you expecting??

I would definitely have waited for a rental if my son hadn't wanted to watch it, but as soon as he saw the trailer he pretty much demanded that I take him :lol:
