I'm not sure I ever saw Wyatt Earp. But an excellent film on the Earp story is My Darling Clementine (1946) by John Ford starring Henry Fonda. I liked Tombstone better.

The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)
7/10

Fresh from a bloody murder scene, police bring an unidentified young lady to the small town corner, a father (Brian Cox) and son (Emile Hirsch) team, for an emergency late night autopsy. Things get a little supernatural. From director André Øvredal of Trollhunter (2010) fame.

With the very flattering reviews I've seen for this film, I was expecting a lot more. The film is a well made horror flick... nice dose of slow reveal, traditional mild suspense, jump scares and gore and special effects. The aforementioned slow reveal over the course of an autopsy is mildly refreshing as well. However, the character development is rather shallow and unresolved. The little we get to know about the characters is disappointingly irrelevant to the film's conclusion. The ending was all too cliqué and tame for such a promisingly original start.

agreed

“The Ritual” 6/10

Great looking monster. That’s about it.

I totally agree my friend. Like I said, in a Serbian film, I did think it went a bit too far but you could see how it was clearly done for shock value. Let's say in this film, which I didn't even get halfway through mind you, so it's hard to tell what else is in there that I just didn't see. Let's say that the guy just held some fake baby over top of the actress, where I haven't even describe the color yet but the colors were black and red. This was an art-house film so the entire thing was a dangerous trip. But it wasn't just an obvious fake baby. Despite the colors, you could still see the entire outline and texture of the baby and there was just clumps of blood dripping and then when the artery thing happened I lost my shit. And like I said as well, the artwork for the movie, which I had never even heard of until I found it on popcorn time the other day, said it was from a 2 disc DVD collection. Why in the fucking hell would something like that be so popular it would necessitate a second disc of bonus features?

Sick. ::love::

I don't think it was taking any stance. I think it was just a plot device. Enjoyed it as well.

I thought it was good because I went in blank. I think someone here or on HorrorDVDs recommended it. It was definitely surprising to me and worth a late night watch. Mondo just released a clever record for the soundtrack. Although I don't remember the soundtrack that much.

Yeah, I think V said it was the best horror film of 2016, which maybe it was. It had nice technique, some freshness of concept at the beginning. I really liked where it was going, and then I thought it went cliqué. You know, why would they do anything with the tattoos, or have the son learn something, or solve the issue. And some people wonder why horror films don't win any academy awards... It's fine. ::big grin::

I gave up watching From Hell (2001), with Johnny Depp on Jack the Ripper. Probably started it too late at night. Seems to go on and on without much to bite on. Interesting concept with Depp using drugs to 'remote view' Jack, but sheesh it was taking a long time to get into who. I might go back. ::roll eyes::

I found it a bit dry...though it was a well made film and all in all I think it's worth a one time watch.

If you like different takes on the Jack the Ripper thing...here's a ridiculous, but fun suggestion: Jack's Back (1988)

Sinister 2

Give it another try when You're more alert. Thought this was a great film with the Hughes Brothers doing a fine job, especially with the grungy surroundings...I guess a ghetto is a ghetto wherever the locale. Only thing that didn't quite ring true was Heather Graham::love:: looked awfully clean and unsullied despite her occupation-or else maybe she was new on the job?

I thought it looked great and they used the location really well. Very atmospheric.

Actually, it was The Ninth Gate and not From Hell I was thinking of. My bad.

I liked it also. The atmosphere was good also, including the cabin scene.

You know how I dig those foreign horror flicks....

Beautiful and brutal.


Killbillies (2015)

Oh sure, now you tell me! Thanks a lot! ::big grin::

Yes, thank you, it's The Ninth Gate. It was on a list of mine that I lost. I knew there was something not right about Secret Window and From Hell. ::roll eyes::

Rust Creek - 8/10

This film just came out this year and takes place near my old stomping ground in Southwest Virginia. The area it was filmed in and takes place is literally right off of the interstate where I used to pass all the time going to and from visiting my ex-girlfriend. There are so many scenes that make me think someone decided to write something similar to a serious version of Tucker & Dale Versus Evil. Whoever wrote this is also from the area, you can tell in the slang, way of living and life, and how far some people are willing to go for particular things. This is a survival horror movie and I highly recommend it to anyone who would like to see some of the darker sides of where I grew up.

Happy Death Day

The Ninth Gate (1999)
7/10

Rare book dealer (Johnny Depp) is hired to find and compare two remaining copies of an ancient occult book believed to contain secrets for summoning the devil and powers.

Based on the book The Club Dumas, and directed by Roman Polanski. Starts off with plenty of intrigued as Depp motions the endeavor into a film noir hunt for the book with plenty of dangers whilst an interesting puzzle develops regarding the books. It's a coherent and bookended film.

Unfortunately, instead of amping the puzzle à la National Treasure or The Da Vinci Code, the puzzle becomes more simple, to the point of near irrelevance. The pace also appears to slow, as character development and suspense seem to cease. Ironically, the occult horror, so palpable in Polanski's Rosemary's Baby, is not pursued, and as the film progresses there's ever less a feeling of danger. The final scenes seem more a dry, reluctant footnote that highlights the lack of material at hand; as items seemed to be checkoff the cart, but few items added.

The Farm - 6/10

Yay... Another movie where a baby is murdered almost instantly after the mother delivers it. Is this a sick ass fetish thing or something?

The ending was kind of cool but otherwise the story made no sense as to why what was happening was happening. I mean you understand what's happening but on the full spectrum you don't know why they are doing it which makes it quite confusing and hard to get into other than the gore factor. I also find it pretty far-fetched that such a community could exist under the radar the way it does. I only give this a cigs because of the gore and the creativity behind the last shot.

I like The Ninth Gate. I was looking into the book props for my collection. There is a creeping darkness about the movie. I can't really say the part I thought was clever without spoiling it. But I thought the secret and mystery of the book was cool. I guess it's the sort of movie with a few drinks like the characters in the movie, you just fall into the atmosphere, music, and settings. I love the library early in the movie. I want to setup the book prop with that postcard photo. And I do tend to get higher end editions of books. The most recent one was this Storms at Sea deluxe edition. Here is a flip though of the normal.



I guess I really like the movie and would probably fall into the same trap as Johnny Depp's character.

Wow, great art in that book!

I enjoyed Ninth Gate too. It does look really good and has effective atmosphere, and like I said, I thought the first half was really good. Unfortunately, I had to take a phonecall a little past the middle, had to watch the rest the next evening. I went back a ways to keep the continuity, but what ya gonna do? Anyway, after I wrote my review I read some others, and I'm not alone in my impressions.

Are the other reviews all in this topic?

I do think halfway in when the atmosphere gets a bit brighter might hurt the movie a bit. Horror movies are always better at night. I'm talking specifically about those Paris scenes. But that's only a small part of the movie.

You can use the site's Search function, you can even have it search the movie title in just this thread. But I was referring to reviews on wiki and/or RT.

I think it's cool for a 2h15m film to change moods, settings, lighting and all... hard to stay dark for 2hrs+. But you probably have a point there. I think he went to Italy and then Paris, and there's daylight scenes. Overall things seemed to brighten and the threat level kept decreasing, things seemed more tongue-in-cheek spurred by the blonde young lady and Depp. I'm not sure if that was the tone Polanski was going for, but I don't think it ever switched away from that comical tone after that. Cary Grant and the femme fatale can comically banter in some Hitchcock films, but usually it's just a humorous respite, not a tone setter for the rest of the film.

This film is so fucked up! ::shocked::

Nightmare on Elm Street remake

New Nightmare? What did you think of it, Bama?

It's okay the new Freddy was not very good

Thing that sucks about it is...hes not even a bad actor, or that he can't play "sinister guy"...as a matter of fact I'd say he's average to pretty good depending on what you see him in.
He SLAYED Rorschach.
Great in the short lived human target.
Not bad in Preacher.

Just...horribly miscast as Freddy...
