Noticed a film called cold skin on Netflix anyone seen it? |
Hatchet 2 Starts right where we left off, Mary Beth escapes the clutches off Victor Crowley and goes to seek help. The reverend zombie, says he'll do it and brings her as well as a ragtag group of hunters to kill Crowley. I still love this film, from the minor appearance from Lloyd Kaufman, to the great deaths (two of my all time favourite slasher kills are in this one) and it still has some humor.

What a bloody mess this film is. Not to say I haven't enjoyed it, but these sorts of films live or die by the viewers ability to care for the characters. Unfortunately the all over the shop morality of all four players means it's damn near impossible to really care about anyone and by extension anything that happens. Jane Levys characters has some semblance of a sympathetic story going on but it doesn't justify her actions. The other lad is just a weasel and the guy that seemed to be the leader got as Dem said what he deserved. As for Stephen Langs blind war veteran, well he's admittedly a very good character, almost animalistic in his performance. Had he just been what he first appears to be (I don't want to give to much away cos this is worth a watch) then I think we'd have had a much better film. Decent waste of 90 mins? I suppose. Horror masterpiece? Heck no. |
With getting those Hellboy graphic novels will be watching Hellboy later , but does it really count as a horror? |
1 Attachment(s) The Wolf Man. Larry Talbot(Lon Chaney jr) returns to his family home after the death of his brother and is reunited with his father(Claude Rains). and later when visiting a antiques shop he takes a shine to the sexy shop assistant (evelyn ankers) and buys a walking stick with a silver wolfs head. afterwards when he takes her and her friend out to see a gypsy fortune teller, he gets bitten by a wolf that is in fact a werewolf. I have to say that i like this one the most out of the Universal monsters. Lon Chaney is very good in deed as the tortured chap who is forever cursed to change into a werewolf on the night of the full moon and go out to kill. and the funny old gypsy woman is superb as well with her classic werewolf poems about wolfsbane and seeing pentagrams in the palms. Actress Evelyn ankers is so pretty too, and knocks most modern hollywood actresses into a cocked hat,:loveeyes: and i like her very much in the role of damsel in distress. And Bela Lugosi has a small part as well as the old gypsy woman's son who is also under the curse too. Yes, this is well worth watching. and has nice misty woods scenes and creepy music and atmosphere. and the werewolf effects look quite effective too considering when it was made, and have to say that i much prefer practical effects like this than cgi which looks even more fake in my opinion. 88 out of 100. |

October 9th 1 Attachment(s) Flesh Eater (1988) It's virtually impossible to be too unkind towards a film in which Bill Hinzman reprises his role of 'graveyard zombie' in this low budget, often clumsily acted, T&A gore fest. Basically that's the film. It's set on Halloween, Hinzman rises from the grave and kills and zombifies all he comes across. It's impossible to get behind any of the cast because they are just there to be slaughtered in all manner of ways as Hinzman goes from farm to farm, meaning eventually there are zombies everywhere and we appear to be back in Romero's Night of the Living Dead territory with locals taking pot shots at anything that moves. This isn't a good film but it's heart is in the right place (Unlike the girl with the heart in her belly button - at least that's where zombie Bill ripped it from in the film). |
Dolls A father, his mistress and his daughter get stuck in the woods during a storm and find a house. Some other guy and a couple of girls arrive. They all plan to stay the night. But unfortunately for them there's killer toys. Killer toys and overacting are what you get from this. It's great and also creepy. Not Stuart Gordon's best work, but it ain't terrible. It's better than robot jox to be honest. Sent from my PRA-LX1 using Tapatalk |

I couldn't wait for it to end. :lol: Oh well, each to their own and all that. I do like the fourth film but that has more to do with the PVC clad Stacie Randall than the titular glove puppets. |
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBxTF_DxN8k Strange and disturbing things start happening after a police office ( Eric Bana) is called to a crime scene in which a woman throws her baby into a lion pit. Part police procedural and demon possession film. While there are better films out there it's enjoyable and creepy. 7/10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCmYN6TLd8A Excellent, well acted throughout with some great locations and sets. Gives a lot more insight into the life of a vampire than the usual murderous monster seen in most films. Claudia is a tragic figure , a young girl doomed to never grow up, also i found a homoerotic vibe running through out the film 9.5/10 Now watch Magic. |

2 Attachment(s) The Woman In Black: Angel Of Death. 2014 During WWII, a group of children are evacuated to Eel Marsh house where the hauntings and sightings of the Woman In Black start again. IMHO, this sequel was severely over hyped from the first movie, the acting wasn't that great, the so called jump scares were predictable and was spoiled by the trailers that came out, I think a lapdance from a 90 year old gran would have been better viewing than this. The Changeling 1980. After the death of his wife and daughter, John Russell is persuaded to rent a a house to work and help with his grief but soon finds out his new house may be haunted. This is like old school ghost house haunting, George C Scott at his finest as composer John Russell, there is a slow build up but gets a lot better, there is a great dark atmosphere within the walls off the house and brilliant story to it as it was based on a true story of Henry Treat Rogers Mansion. Worth the watch. |
1 Attachment(s) Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter(1972). Captain Kronos, played by Horst Janson, is a vampire hunter and master swordsman who travels the countryside with his trusty hunchbacked assistant and a beautiful gypsy girl, Carla, the delightful Caroline Monroe. Directed by Brian Clemens, this is an interesting and different adaption of the vampire story. And although it still retains the similar old style setting that was typical in the Hammer films, this one mixes more of a swashbuckling tale, combined with a bit of western and horror. Vampires no longer drink the blood from their victims either and instead drain them of their youth and turn them into old and shriveled up shells. Another interesting aspect as well is the methods of killing vampires have changed too which now include burning, hanging, and a sword of steel forged from a cross. And I also liked the curious idea in the film when the hunchback buries dead toads in boxes that come back to life again if a vampire passes. Certainly different. Overall though, not a bad effort at all, and loads of fun. But I did think Kronos was an idiot leaving Caroline Munro behind at the end. What guy would do that? :lol: 7.5/10. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY1oeoVD_zI Anthony Hopkins plays a magician who is laughed of stage ,a year later he comes back and is a huge hit with his new act that includes a ventriloquist dummy called fats. He goes off to to see a old crush he had when he was a kid and too escape his manager . As time goes on Corky (Hopkins) begins acting strangely and kills his manager , he slowly begins a decent into madness as the film goes on its left up too the viewer to decide if he is using the dummy to project his desires and what he is unwilling to do or is the dummy alive in some way? A fantastic piece of acting from Hopkins and expertly directed Richard Attenborough. Not partially scary but very chilling and atmospheric. 9/10 Was thinking of watching leatherface tomorrow. |
Nice to see you enjoyed Magic, trebor. An under-rated gem in my opinion. :nod: |

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974 is another historic film. Like Last House on the Left, its shot in a documentaryesque (if that's even a word) fashion, which helps give it a more effective look. This is a violent film, but you actually don't see that much blood. Like Halloween, Leatherface kills people but in very well directed scenes. Every kill in this movie is memorable. In fact the psycho family are also a memorable thing here. Leatherface may be the front man but this isn't just about him. Nubbins/Hitchhiker is a demented man, who despite not being in the film to long, has such memorable scenes in the van and later on at the end that he leaves an impression. The Cook/Drayton is very weird. In some scenes he seems repulsed at what he and the family are doing to Sally at the dinner table then in others, he seems to do a double take and likes it. Truly horrible. Its not my favourite but I hold it in high regard. I think I might "enjoy" others in the franchise more but I obviously concede that this is unquestionably the best made and directed film in the whole franchise. 8/10 |

1 Attachment(s) Horns 2013. After the murder of his girlfriend, Ig developes horns and uses his new found gift to unlock everyone's secret and looks for the killer. This has it all, mild horror, crime, mystery, Sex and comedy, this is the first time I have seen this film all the way through and it was great, may not be for everyone but worth a look. Daniel Radcliffe plays Ig, he was great in this especially with a American accent, it can be seen like the seven deadly Sins added extra, who said confession was never good for the soul. 8 out of 10 |
