classic_horror_fan 03-16-2021 08:37 AM

I just saw the first installment of the Camp Blood series that parodies the Friday the 13th series, and it is funny in that sort of way. Its characters have good catchy dialogue parodying both certain characters and certain scenes with good over the top humorous drama and dialogue. It also has a nice found footage touch to help make it a little more interesting. It also has a nice little surprise near the end, parodying when it was revealed that Mrs. Vorhees was the killer in the original Friday the 13th film. Most fans of the Friday the 13th series should get a kick out of this one, remembering it's only a parody. Those who like the Bloody Murder series that also parodies the Friday the 13th series should like this series as well. ::cool::

I just saw Eden Lake for the first time. I've seen a lot of horror, but this left a really bad after thought about the whole thing. Very brutal movie.

I spent the first half shouting at the TV 'Just go home' in an entertaining manner, but the films slips into a dark place I can't recall seeing before.

I would say more, but I'm not going to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it...since you should.

Yea, one watch was enough for me.

When I watched Event Horizon (EH), my mind immediately went to each sci-fi TV ep and film as the scene happened. It was distracting. Partly because those 'ripped off concepts' ::big grin:: were rather hodge-podge even for EH's own plot story. (At least everything in Underwater was self-consistent.) I was literally shaking my head. I even accused one EH fan of probably not knowing sci-fi very well... not a friendly attitude on my part.

I agree with you, EH had a nice cast, which helped the film along.

I mildly enjoyed the new Star Treks, as I agree with you, they didn't bother trying to be very original. What are the best 3-4 Star Trek films?

Take Star Wars The Force Awakens, maybe you could say that George Lucas was bitter. But he did say that he did new things or had new planets with every movie. But James Cameron's comments were the most clear on that movie. He said something like he would wait for the sequel basically because The Force Awakens was a reboot / remake. We know what happened with the sequel when they attempted to subvert just about everything in The Force Awakens and made a movie that I'll never watch again. A movie that might be the worst Star Wars movie if not tied for the worst.

What are some of those TV shows and movies that Event Horizon rips off?

The best 3 to 4 Star Trek movies? Probably all the original crew movies. I've never seen the majority in theaters and want to see them on a big screen setup. I'm sure I would pick 1, 2, 3, and 4 (not in order of preference).

I recall not liking that one. It was one of those bad guys are the hero movies with the last shot I think. I'm sure I reviewed it here.

Two Heads Creek 6-7/10

A crazy Australian Edgar Wright wannabe flick.

Thought all the actors did a good job. None of them playing a normal person.



Lucky 3/10

What... the fuck.

The thing is written by AND starring a woman named Brea Grant. This person is clearly not well.



A Cure for Wellness 8/10

Got more plot holes than something with a lot of holes. But who cares, it's GOOD!

I just saw House of the Devil, a modern movie, but set in the 1980's and filmed like it was shot in the 80's.

Really well done. Fell in love with Jocelin Donahue, who was really good...so was pretty annoyed with what happened to her, lol. A decent horror.

Angra 03-18-2021 02:02 PM

The Reckoning 4-5/10

By far the worst Neil Marshall movie to date. Just a piss poor story.

Tommy Jarvis 03-19-2021 12:56 PM

Zoombies had a silly premise and delivered on it. Yes, it was stupid, but the only way to be disappointed is expecting differently.

Angra 03-19-2021 02:54 PM

Cherry 7-8/10

Born on the Fourth of July/The Basketball Diaries.

A sad and depressing story told in a light and, mostly, humorous way.
I usually dislike when characters are talking to the audience, especially while looking at the camera. But in this case it didn't bother me that much, probably because it's Tom Holland. I get back to him.
What DID bother me a bit was the way the story was told, not the way it was made. It's a very well made movie with some creative camera work. No, the problem is that the story is kinda soapy, meaning that it's shallow white people problems that leads to characters joining the army, becoming drug addicts and robbing banks, and I couldn't really take that seriously. Here's an example:

Boy: I've joined the army.
Girl: Why?
Boy: Because I was sad.
Girl: Why?
Boy: Because you were going to Canada to study.
Girl: I wasn't going to Canada. I just said that to get away from you, because.... I love you.

*puke smiley* *puke smiley* *puke smiley*

::sad::

I also would have liked to see the middle part shortened and the epilogue prolonged, and the very end cut 1 minute before it did. Then I'd be a happy guuuy!
THAT being said. The acting was top notch and if this movie had come out 4 months ago Tom Holland would've had a very good chance of winning his first Oscar.

I should have said the 3 best. I think the best were ST2: Wrath of Khan, ST First Contact and ST: The Motion Picture. Motion Picture gets hit for a slow pace and being a bit dry, but I rather admire its awe and wonderment. ST6: Undiscovered Country, Star Trek (2009) and others are enjoyable.

THE BURROWERS 2008

I saw some of The Motion Picture recently and found myself watching it for an hour or so. It was good because it was old sci-fi. Adventure and not blowing up stuff all the time. And the ship's interior design had a familiar feel.

I enjoyed it more than the first one. Made some things make more sense.

Maybe it's just me. But it sounds like you're talking about two different versions. ::smile::

Yes, I was of course talking about Justice League (2017). Havent seen the Snyder Cut. I don't have HBO Max, but I'd probably consider a free trial.

Four hours and 2 mins... I would not watch that in one sitting. Probably more like three sittings. ::big grin::

I'm not DC fan either, although I'm a Flash fan. Just saw AuquaMan recently, or as I was enjoying calling him during my audio-engaged watch party: Aguaman. It was OK. Had no interest in seeing it.

The new if you can call it that version of Justice League doesn't feel long if you've seen the original version. I only saw the original once but it was fairly easy to pick out the additional and removed scenes between the two.

Both are a mess. I've never seen a studio basically release an official fan version of a movie first. Then a second version by another director. I put a longer post about it on the HorrorDVDs forum.
