Watched Evil Dead again today-Still think it's a great film and one I'm more than happy to have in my collection. It looks really good on Blu Ray (to be expected because it's a new film) and the featurettes are pretty good too, shame Sam Raimi wasn't involved, but it was good to see Rob Tapert and Bruce Campbell chatting about the film, along with Director Fede Alvarez and star Jane Levy. Haven't checked out the features on the extra disc yet (a DVD I should add), but I will do over the next day or two. Like I said on the bought thread, I'm glad I decided not to go for the steelbook seeing as everyone's seems to be scratched, a clear manufacturing error-poor show from SC! |

The Last Man on Earth (1964) Richard Matheson's novel "I am Legend" has certainly caught the attention of Hollywood! "The Last Man on Earth" (1964) "The Omega Man" (1971) "I Am Legend" (2007) "I Am Omega" (2007) I have only seen 3 of the 4 so cannot comment on "I Am Omega" but out of the other three there isn't a bad film among 'em! Vincent Price is as good as ever in the 1964 offering which I watched last night and I was not surprised to find myself enjoying it as much as the 1971 Chuck Heston film. I found myself more sympathetic towards Price's character than either Heston's angry and belligerent one or Smith's more smug and self assured one. I might, just for the sake of OCD, pick up the straight to video "I am Omega" to round off the character comparison! |
Watching Re-Animator now :) |
Foxy Brown. Enjoyable, but IMHO not the best of the Blacksploitation films. |

Been trying to decide which film out of The Unholy, Necromentia and The Goatman Murders to watch tonight. After reading the following review on IMDb for The Goatman Murders, my decision has been made :nod: I honestly have no words to describe how unbelievably terrible and wasteful the last 75 minutes of my life have been watching this. I got it for £5 and thought it would be a funny film to watch and didn't have high expectations going into to it, If you see it for cheap and think 'it will be worth a laugh' you're wrong just save yourself the money and go buy a packet of cigarettes it will be better for your health. Not to mention the ridiculous sound and deaths in the film just the entire atmosphere within the film itself was on par with with what you leave in the toilet after your first cup of coffee in the morning. I believe on the box it states 'Gore fans will love this' you won't, you will hate it with every fibre of your being and wish you spent the last hour and 15 minutes of your life eating glass, it truly is terrible, 1/10 is generous. Do not buy ! Judging by that, I reckon I'll love it :lol: |
The Goatman Murders- This film cost me £1.27, that's exactly £1.26 more than the films budget :lol: Gotta admit, it was enjoyable enough shite, with some crazy assed kills, a cheapo rubber masked killer and a shot of a bloke having a piss :confused: I actually laughed out loud during the end scene, brilliant! It's back in it's case now, where I reckon i will stay for a long time :lol: |

Just remembered that I didn't rate "The Last Man on Earth". I use such films as "The Omega Man" and "Soylent Green" as standard 10/10 movies. Vincent Price, as I mentioned before plays the part of Morgan with great sympathy and makes us feel for him in a way that Chuck Heston couldn't do if he tried. 14/10 for that sympathy and ladies with far too much hairspray! |

Fortunately Matheson didn't hold too much of a grudge because at this point he was doing some incredible work with AIP writing screenplays and had worked on a lot of the Corman Poe films. He'd also write COMEDY OF TERRORS which has one of the best screenplays in my opinion. |

The incredible melting man. Ok but the real star is the makeup effects of the melting man. 6.5/10 City of lost children Truly amazing, fantastic acting with absolutely stunning visual style and very disturbing and creepy. Watched the French version as heard bad things about the English dub. 10/10 |

Watched The Incredible Melting Man a few nights back after recording off the horror channel a few weeks ago. First time. Really enjoyed it, great effects and very corny cheesy script. I was expecting something a little nastier but I actually found it to be quite fun. Alien Nation with James Caan and Mandy Patinkin. Decent 80's sci-fi variation on the buddy cop movie. |
Deranged Highly disturbing and scary, but also I found very funny in places a wonderful performance from Robert blossom as he slowy descends further and further in to madness. To anyone like me who has not seen it before to yourself a favour a buy this classic, I dare say I enjoyed this more than Texas chainsaw massacre 10/10 Just remember The wages of sin is gonorrhea, syphilis, and death! Deranged - "The wages of sin is gonorrhea, syphilis and death!" - YouTube Next I shall watch the first film in the coffin joe box set. |
Another trip to the cinema this evening, this time to see Elysium which I really liked. Simple but effective narrative, it didn't have the twist at the end I expected and the political subtext is not rammed down the audiences throat. Good, effective SF entertainment. And I watched Romper Stomper on blu earlier. O forgot how good thesis and I am a huge fan of the soundtrack. |
Snake in the eagles shadow never seen this before quite enjoyed it highly entertaining, also listening to the music surprising how many very famous tracks there are in the film. Tbh I can see the similarities of This and karate kid REALY being a Hollywood remake of this film |

A great film anyway, like you say very funny too, the performances are all spot on and this in my opinion is closest to the real Ed Gein story. Let us know what you make of Coffin joe. :) |

Attachment 117560 "Rocky Jones, Space Ranger: Crash of Moons" (1954) The blurb in the "SCI-FI CLASSICS" booklet says that this was originally a Quote:

I loved it: hokey science, terrible acting, worse dialogue, even worse special effects and very short skirts! 15/10 for the little Prince who wouldn't shut up! "Dr Terror's House of Horrors" (1965) I quite like "portmanteau movies" and this offering from Amicus is great BUT am I missing something? Where's the titular "House"? 16/10 for that great double act, Roy Castle and Kenny Lynch! "Deathwatch" (2002) I'd forgotten that I'd already seen this some time ago and really didn't twig it until Kris Marshall (Pvt. Barry Starinski) started masturbating! Solid film, Andy Serkis' psychotic soldier is as stand-out as all his psychotic characters are but his ending is worth watching! 17/10 for the best trained barb wire in films! |

At midnight I will take your soul Ze has to be one of the most evil and unpleasant characters to grace celluloid, also very blasphemous and anti relgion maybe not too us but I can see it being in brazil at the time. Very atmospheric and just goes to show you don't need a huge budget to make a truly chilling and effective film. 8/10 |

Glad u liked 'midnight', and if u liked that you should love the next one.:) |
Just finished watching Ben Wheatleys A Field In England. I'm not entirely sure what was going on but I really enjoyed it. Some brilliant imagery in there. |
The Evil Dead Remake and Creepshow. Two movies thirty years apart but both excellent ;) |

As nosferatu mentioned, you should enjoy the next one too. :nod: |
Watched The Conjured in the cinema last night, to be honest it bored the s**t outta me. Yet another "scariest movie" comment that was total BS. Didn't jump once. More of the same tripe from Hollywood. In fact the only film that truly gave me the creeps in the last few years was Rec and if anyone wants to see a good few jump scares watch that. They were done perfectly in it. My highlight of this week was Jay and Silent Bob Get Old: Tea Bagging in the UK and Ireland. 7 hours with Smith and Mewes is sure to lift anybodies mood and these live on stage recordings are top notch. Absolutely p*ssed myself. |
Watched The Horseman last night, which was my attempt to put something on that me and my other half would 'both enjoy'! Turns out it was every bit as cruel and sadistic as any 'torture porn' film ... oh well :rolleyes:. As a film, I thought it was OK but it lost something in adhering too much to its linear structure (despite attempting to vary things by altering the time structure). In the end, all that's left is a series of set pieces, where the protagonist hunts down and kills one bloke before moving onto the next. Those who made the film would probably argue that that this portrays the single-minded obsession of Christian, and maybe they'd be right, but it never seems to get under the skin of any of the characters or the seedy industry Christian is trying to destroy, which feels like a wasted opportunity to me. That said, those set pieces are fairly well executed and it's a pretty good time-filler. |

1 Attachment(s) Attachment 117593 "Rocky Jones, Space Ranger: Menace from Outer Space" (1956)? Mmm! The last Rocky Jones film on the same disc said that the series only lasted one season yet there's two years between that and this. Maybe the date is from when it was re-edited and stitched together to make this film. Whatever! Still a lot of fun in that hokey 1950s way, Flash Gordon without rockets with a farting sparkler up the spout! 15/10 for short skirts and bare midriffs! |

Manhattan Baby (DVD).... When Gasteropod called this out a few posts back I thought it was high time to dust this one off and give it a spin, so with great enthusiasm I slammed this in the player but after one tortuous hour I called it a day. This one has always been considered something of a dud and it's reputation is entirely deserved - it's real lukewarm stuff. I'll put most of the blame for this on the Sacchettis - there's just no story here, just a string of wishy-washy set pieces, and while Fulci's direction has it's moments, his obsession with close-ups of eyes - there must be over a dozen cutaways to furrowed brows in this film - becomes really irritating... |
Fire in the sky One of the best alien abduction movies no speilberg whimsy here, great acting and the last ten minutes is very terrifying and disturbing. 9/10 |
It was raining this afternoon so I sat down with some drinks and snacks and watched Warm Bodies. Isaw this back in January at the cinema and really enjoyed it. This will probably earn me a ban from these parts but I see no reason to change my mind on a repeat viewing. Its smart script makes it stand out from the usual mainstream teen dreck. Recommended for those looking for something a bit lighter and probably girlfriend/wife friendly. |
