Horror News & Discussion Redux

Barbara Crampton is who I'd have stalked had I been in my prime in the 80's. My God, she was sexy.

I would probably still give her a go today.

I would happily cut my head off to get up in dere

Recent watches....

Stiches - evil clown movie. terrible production values, bad acting, cheesy kills, predictable. Fun in an 'it's so bad" kinda way and the lead actress is kinda cute.

The girl in the pictures - fun little horror piece. Nothing really innovative or dramatically new but it's got a decent cast (Kal Penn channeling his inner douchebag was kinda fun) and it's well shot, well acted and was entertaining. Light on the gore but worth watching.

Last Shift - Haunted police precinct story. it tries, it really does, but it's just kinda meh. There's some nice creepy images but the big twist reveal isn't much of a twist or a reveal. It's not bad if you have nothing else to watch.

The Houses October Built - decent slasher / stalker flick. Again, nothing too original and kinda predictable. Disappointed that it spends so much time building suspense and then it's just abruptly done. Seriously? I invest 80 minutes in this and then you give me 5 minutes of interesting? Lots of foreplay, not much payoff.

Human Centipede 3 - Why do I do this to myself? You'd think I know better after the previous movies. This one is bigger, louder, dumber and more over the top than the first two combined. Although it might make a good drinking game...


All this talk of 70's and 80's horror brings back memories. i remember searching for the original Wicker Man for years before i found a bootleg copy (pre-internet horror collecting was a chore). Great movie.

If you're looking for some hot women in horror, check out the films of Jean Rollin - Nude for Satan, Shiver of the Vampires, Living Dead Girl. The stories are barely comprehensible (intentionally), the acting is wooden (and poorly dubbed), the special effects are mediocre (even for the time period) but they're hypnotic in a WTF-sort of way. And the women... Barbara Crampton, Ingrid Pitt and Linnea Quigley have nothing on Bridgette Lehaie. I'm not ashamed to say the rewind button got a fair amount of use for her movies :)

If we are talking horror babes, then Alice Krige in Ghost Story just fucking does it for me. She looks kind of distant but perfect in this movie. Oh, and underrated movie.

Ghost Story is a classic. i don't think it gets the credit it deserves as it came out just after the original Halloween and Friday the 13th started the shift towards more graphic horror.

Loved me some Stuart Gordon movies back in the day. Re-animator and From Beyond are genre classics.

Yeah, I first attempted ghost story when I was like 7 and the woman's face in the beginning scared the shit out of me. It took me like 10 years to watch the whole movie. I read the book too and much prefer the movie and I put it in my top ten.


For Stuart Gordon, I would also recommend masters of horror dreams in the witch house and dagon (both lovecraft)

I agree on Last Shift. It had a little hype behind it and while is was watchable it was also mostly forgettable. I watched a similar movie around the same time called Let Us Prey and it took place in a police precinct also. Again not bad but not worth going out of your way to really recommend.

Davos from Game of Thrones stars in it so there is that.

The Lords of Salem (2013).

Disappointing, even with relatively low expectations going into a Rob Zombie movie.

Failed completely at being scary. Mostly failed at being gory. Failed entirely at establishing a plot or characters. Zombie even managed to get a relatively bad performance out of Bruce Davison.

Sherrie Moon Zombie isn't a terrible actress, but she isn't good either, and has no on-screen charisma. She played the least engaging protagonist I have seen in a long time.

Zombie seems to have a thing for digging up actresses from decades gone by and getting them to disrobe or be haggard props. It was cool to see Joanna Lumley as the old, poised aunt in the Wolf of Wall Street. There was nothing really cool about seeing Judy Geeson (To Sir with Love) here as an old foul-mouthed hag, talking about fucking heads with dirty cocks. And Meg Foster was simply grotesque as a naked, sagging witch.

I really don't know what Zombie is trying to do. He seems to come up with a handful of creepy images that he wants to have in a movie, and then shits out a script just barely able to get from one of these images to the next.

He can frame a decent shot, but that's about it. He's only managed to tell a coherent story a couple times, and those were several years ago now.

3.5 / 10.

Gotta say I agree with you on this. Zombie always has some cool shots in his movies but man, he's just so inconsistent. I though after Devil's Rejects he had some talent but his last couple of movies make me think that was the best he's going to get. I'll still catch 31 when it comes on Netflix or cable but my expectations are much lower for his work now.

I am fully aware of this, and she still looks great. But thanks for looking out for me ;)
 
Prophecy (1979) with Talia Shire and Armand Assante.

Anyone seen this? Part of what killed Talia Shire's career and left her only able to get work reprising Adrian Balboa going forward, for the most part.

Pretty bad movie. 3.5/10.

It goes from 2.5 to 3.5 because some of its kills were unintentionally hilarious, from a kid in an exploding sleeping bag to a killer raccoon that is whacked into a fireplace with a canoe paddle. And they weren't going for laughs.

Southbound is a pretty solid anthology film that loosely ties together 5 shorts that all take place on the highway to Hell. I liked the effects in the film even though it is a low budget and it featured a really poor man's version of a John Carpenter soundtrack and though that sounds bad I dug it.

7/10



Hush is also pretty solid for a modern slasher. It is a cat and mouse type slasher that has an interesting premise and is done very well. I'm not usually a fan of home invasion type horrors but this one was tastefully done as weird as that sounds. It didn't leave me feeling disgusted like most of that sub genre does. If you liked You're Next I think Hush is right up your alley.

8/10



I made the mistake of watching Lars Von Trier's Antichrist. The less said here the better.

utter shite/10
 
so far the only horror movie i enjoyed this year is "The Witch" it looks like a weak year for horror.

Oh mam I hated that movie. My complaint is that it lacked originality. From the DVD commentary the guy said they basically made the movie exactly like the stories about witches said they did. May be a bit of a weird complaint.

Main girl in it was hawt though. Not IMDBing her birthday
 
I am currently 'watching' The Nightmare

maxresdefault.jpg


This is a documentary or fictionized documentary of sleep paralysis. I dont know if these are real testimonies, but it feels a bit cheap.

There are good sounds, cool visuals, as if it wants to be a horror, but they couldnt come up with a story, so they went with a documentary.

The stories circulate about seeing demonic figures, to aliens tickling, to a fucking cat laying on ones chest, all while being mostly immobile during sleep.

Anyway, its on in the background and Mayberry is up front. That said, 4/10.

Lol, I would not put "from the director of room 237" on the cover to promote it
 
Watched The Pact and Insidious 3 earlier ,both were pretty decent as far as horrors go. Was surprised at how well done Insidious 3 was, it was better than the weak 2nd film imo.
 
The Wailing will probably be the best horror movie of this year. Everyone should peep it if they can
 
Fright rags is putting this on a shirt minus all the words except Predator.

It's $18 and only available for 24 hrs this Saturday.

I would recommend ordering a size up from what you normally wear as they can be tightish and shrink some.

Looks like he is returning to what he does best with 31, and from what I've heard it is pretty good as along as you go into it knowing what to expect. My buddy said it's fairly predictable but also extremely gory and a blast to watch.
