It was ok I suppose, better then Fright Night remake but the CGI ruined it and the test they used to check if your human was laughable.

If you're referring to the 2011 movie it's actually a prequel not a remake!

I know but it is very similar to the Carpenter film.
Apart from what they found and the ending its almost like a remake with a few differences here and there.

indeed. its a resounding meh from the highlands for this pointless pointless film.

Levres des Sang no it's still nae clicking. felt turgid. last half hour had some interesting dialogue, but its not looking good for JR in this corner....c'est la vie!

The Stendhal Syndrome is indeed one of Argento's finest. Great performances by Asia and Thomas Kretschmann. I own both the BU Blu-ray and the Arrow DVD - the first one for the special features, the latter because of the picture quality, the artwork, and - most important - the poster.

Creature From The Black Lagoon is a classic. Period.

Greetings!

The Stendhal Syndrome is one of Argento's very best, so far as I'm concerned. I think it deserves a far higher reputation than it has.

Watched Fulci's Zombie/Zombie Flesh Eaters/Zombi 2 etc today - lovely-looking bluray. Amazing how good some films look in HD. I really winced at some of the gore scenes, even though I'd seen it before. Started on some of the extras too but keeping them for a rainy day


Followed it up with Graduation Day. Not great to be honest, especially the crappy Hollywood dvd print. Didn't help that the killer's identity was revealed in the blurb on the back of the box! Some inventive kills but a lack of horror and suspense and it really dragged in places

In Dreams

A painful viewing experience. Neil Jordan's derivative and clumsy attempt to dabble in David Lynch territory is an unmitigated disaster throughout. The pacing is all over the place, the plotting confuses "messy" for "ambiguous" and both Annette Bening and Robert Downey Jr give hysterically bad performances that make Bette and Joan in Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? look restrained and dignified.

It clearly wants to be a head scratcher, leaving you wondering about what might be real, who is or isn't real or if any of it is real, but it just leaves you glad it's all over. A really, really bad film.
