If you liked Re-Animator you'll like this one. More undead, violence, and Dr. West. Loads of fun.

Dark City


I don't really want to say a lot about this movie for fear of spoiling anything, so I'll keep this short and sweet.

First off: The plot is incredible. If you thought The Matrix was thought provoking, this will blow your mind.

The cinematography and overall design of this film are also incredible. Very dark, very surreal. Along with the spectacular effects, the whole movie looks great.

The actors are all very good as well, especially Keifer Sutherland.

Put simply, you have to see this movie. One of the best sci-fi films I've ever seen.

9/10

Ahem.

Jeepers Creepers 2: 5/10

Watchable, but not as good as the first by far. One part actually scared me though, if you really care you can ask me about it but i don't want to type it right now.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
8/10 I'm proud to own this one. Mina and the Moroccan guy are my favorites.

The Mummy Returns

9/10... Most... Entertaining... movie... ever! I have it but haven't seen it in forever, and boy is it good.

Dead End 4/10

I heard it was good, but it was just a giant plot hole story IMO. The family trauma stuff was done well though, but I found it to be just another one of those, "let's keep them guessing then not pull off a decent reasoning at the end" story. But then again, i've only seen one movie like that that pulled it off...

Moroccan guy? This is one of my all-time favourote movies and I really cant recall a Moroccan guy. Are you refering to Nemo?

Yeah, just kidding. I couldn't remember his name for some reason.

Vampire Hunter D

The Hills Have Eyes (Remake)

Well, this didn't stray too far from the original, but it did amp up the gore quite a bit. I have always sort of thought the original Hills was pretty good, but not great and I guess I sorta feel the same way about this. The deformed family of inbreds maiming a group of stranded motorists is one of the older formulas in the horror film writing book so this film didn't really accomplish anything new in terms of plot. Aja did a good job directing, the acting was just fine and the story moved along pretty fluidly but like I said, there wasn't really anything new or groundbreaking here...

All in all, this is not a bad remake, but I don't think it's in league with TCM or Dawn of the Dead's remakes either....

B

Vampire Hunter D:Bloodlust

His name is Naseeruddin Shah, and he's Indian. One of the most acclaimed actors of Indian cinema.

Agreed...couldn't help but wonder if the guys that made the matrix heavily borrowed, replacing aliens with machines, and a mouldable world with a digital world...but hey...I think dark city was way better too.



Which means that if you've NEVER heard of him...that's ok.

Since The Matrix came out 5 years before Night Watch, I'm gonna take a guess and say they probably didn't borrow from it.

;)

the latest one that i watched was the omen 666 (6/6/06).. its not so scary.. and i couldnt find a movie that is really scary!!! i have collections of 'em..!! and that is so cool...

Well you'd be right there...except that we were talking about Dark City...Soooo...when you get those sexy russian vampires off your mind, you just feel free to go right on ahead and give that another shot ;)

I put Dark City in line with Exorcist III & Frailty. Brilliant movie, but for some reason no one seemed to care. I started working at a movie theater 9 months before Dark City came out. I watched it seven times. I hyped it to everyone who would listen.

Now, this brilliant little gem, along with Exorcist III & Frailty, has been reduced to bargain bin status. It's sad.

Ab-normal Beauty. I liked this Asian movie, but it does start out pretty slow. The lead character becomes obsessed with death after she takes a picture of a woman who was hit by a car. For the biggest part of the movie, she does a lot of taking pictures of dead animals and reading books full of pictures of dead people, and she spazzes out a lot. There's also the requisite "incident" from her past that troubles her. All of that was weird, but it was the last 30 minutes or so that really grabbed my attention. She started getting these strange videotapes that show people being tortured and killed. It turns into a classic "whodunit" of sorts, but there are some pretty intense scenes. Warning: If you are sensitive to scenes of cruelty to animals or women, you might think twice before watching this movie. I didn't think the scenes were any worse than what I've seen in other movies, but I know people who freak out every time an animal or woman gets hurt. I just want to give everyone a fair warning.

Hostel


Let me start by saying that I wasnt really interested in seeing this movie in the first place. It looked pretty dumb, but I thought I should see it just to see what all the fuss was about. That said, now that Ive seen it, I still think it's a dumb movie, and still cant see what the fuss is about.

I had the same problem as alot of people with this movie: It starts out like a bad porno. By the time it becomes an actual horror movie, it had already lost my intrest. The gore was good, the acting was surprisingly decent, but the plot was so mind-numbingly awful that I really couldnt enjoy it much.

Basically, this movie is well made and well acted, but it has such a boring, straightforward plot that it really wasnt all that great.

5/10

PS- I did like the TCM reference near the end.

lol...it depends on if you are a fan of world cinema that is. :D

Before I start yes everyone is entitled to their opinion and what follows is my own.

I'm about sick of people slagging off this film how it starts so slow before it gets to the real horror. For fucks sake do you all need blood and gore in the first 10 minutes of every damn film you watch. Whats wrong with just getting to know characters and a simple plot? Yep the nudity was a little over the top and not at all realistic (well not in my experiance, strange that there were no woman slightly over weight naked), but come on all the classic slashers have tit shots to keep people interested. As for the not much happens, have people forgotten the Blair Witch (not singleling you out Return), I liked the film but really fuck all happens in that all the way through. People go camping and find pebbles and twigs in trees. But it still worked.
Hostel wasn't trying to be the best horror film every made just a bit different from the run of the mill Scream clones, Japanese remakes and classic horror remakes. I personlly found it very entertaining, especially the Wicker Man music whilst they were all shagging, classic. But no it didn't make my top 25 list as it won't have the longevity of other films.

I'd like to add that when I first saw this film, I was disappointed. Not to be confused with dislike; I actually enjoyed it. It was just one of those scenarios that I practically knew everything that was going to happen. If I didn't know about it, it still could have never lived up to my expectations. It gained 1 full point from me after I let it cool off and watched it the second time. It just might do the same next time. I hope so.

I usually dont care if a movie doest get right off to blood and guts. I really enjoyed Wolf Creek, which certanly takes it's sweet time before any horror happens. The difference is that the stuff going on in Wolf Creek was interesting, it made you care to some extent about the characters. This just seemed like somewhere between a bad porno and a typical road trip movie. Even though that period was likely intended for character development, it failed horribly.

I didn't know anything about it which probably did help. Using Blair Witch again, it got loads of hype about how good it was before it came and a few of my freinds went to see it and thought it was shit. I didn't watch it for over a year from when it was released. When I got round to watching I thought it would be awful and I think this helped, it was far better than I thought it would be. Since then I try to avoid hearing to much about films and find it works out better.

Don't believe the hype!!:D

When Blair Witch came out, I was too young to even understand what hype was. I think thats why I enjoyed it so much.

On the other hand, Id mostly, wity a few exceptions, only heared negative things about Hostel. So shouldnt the hype I heared have worked for it?

Son of Frankenstein

Though it is nowhere near as good as the first 2 Universal Frankenstein films, this is still a fairly enjoyable outing.

The plot is straightforward, yet still interesting. As the title would suggest, it centers around the son of Henry Frankenstein, who originally created the "monster". He returns to the village where his father lived and worked, only to be met with hatred by the townsfolk. He soon comes across Ygor, who has been protecting the "monster" after the explosion that supposedly destroyed him. I would say more...but that, my friends, would be spoiling it for you.

Basil Rathbone does a very good job as the titular character, and Bela Lugosi's Ygor is quite possibly his greatest post-Dracula role. Karloff, playing the "monster" once again, isn't as good as in the previous installments. Lionel Atwill was one of the highlights of the film, playing the local detective whose arm had been ripped off my the "monster". Perhaps it would have been better if I had seen this prior to Young Frankenstein, because I found myself chuckling every time he moved his fake arm. The rest of the cast is pretty typical for supporting casts of the time period, AKA not very good.

One thing that really stood out were the sets and their design. It almost seemed influenced by Dr. Caligari, which I found very interesting.

This isn't one of the best Universal monster flicks, but it's still worth a watch. It's very slow, but still enjoyable.

6.5/10

Yikes, I thought the acting was
awful.

The main guy, Jay Hernandez I believe his name was, was pretty good I thought. Same with most of the "clients", especially the one he meets while getting changed. The girls were really bad, but the majority of the cast did a decent job IMO.

Kung Fu Hustle

i LOVE this movie. i laugh my ass off every time i watch it. much, much better than shaolin soccer.

HORROR HOTEL

I just watched The Dungeonmaster for the first time in around 15 years. It was, well,interesting....Richard Moll was a good demon guy, but the different sequences were all done by different directors and it was kind of choppy....at least they all agreed on one thing, they managed to show at least two sets of nipples and still get away with a PG 13 rating.....

I'd be willing to bet anything Tarantino wrote the dialogue for that scene.

Hahaha Yeah!My favorite part is when the main character desides to break up the fight by hitting the old guy in the face with a wooden log.Then the old guy gets pissed and starts punching him into the floor.Then he asks "Why did you hit me?"And the main character's hand....moves around the floor abit and then finds this thin log and taps him on the forhead with it.:D

Alien,probly one of my favorite horror movies now.Hey,hellfire have you seen this?

The Outlaw Josey Wales

Agreed. Easily one of the best parts of the movie.

Derailed

hahaha yeah... when he tries to hit him with the tiny piece of wood. or when he tries to throw the knife at the landlady and it bounces off the wall and comes back at him. that whole scene always has me in tears. :p

watch shaolin soccer if you haven't seen it yet. it's not as funny as this one, but it's fun.

and of course i've seen alien.... sigourney weaver's tiny little underwear... *shudders*

Beyond the Wall of Sleep

A terrible movie. You could really tell that they tried hard to make this scary and menacing, but it was just so dumb... Just an example: the movie takes place in an asylum. One of the head shrinks is referred to as an "alienist" (which is actually the correct old-fashioned term for a psychiatrist.) However, at several points, another character calls him an alien. The main character wears a ridiculous wig, which makes it impossible to take anything he says or does seriously. My girlfriend and I spent the first 45 minutes laughing at it, and decided it wasn't worth finishing. So now it's been proven: Stuart Gordon is the only director who can do Lovecraft any justice. Overall: 2/10... 2 points awarded for unintentional hilarity.

Hah,yeah i love that part too.

I'll see if i can find that movie anywhere.



Alien is awsome,What would be your favorite?Mine would have to be Aliens.Hudson and Hicks were my favorites.:D

aliens of course. one of the rare sequels that surpasses the first. "hey vasquez.. you ever been mistaken for a man ?" "no... have you ?" hehe classic.

hicks was gorgeous... *sigh* whatever happened to michael biehn, i wonder.

that's it... i'm popping it in now. i haven't watched it in ages. :D

oh man, thats it man, we're all gonna fucking die man, this is just great'
