This was pretty odd film.

I knew little about it and for so reason I was expecting a Cronenberg version of 'After Hours'. What I got reminded me of a cross between William Gibson and Sam Beckettt. Its a very wordy movie and comes accross like a filmed play alittle.

Still i enjoyed but I do miss the Cronenberg of old.

Tragic Ceremony (1972) Satisfyingly odd Italian horror starring Camille Keaton (I Spit On Your Grave, What Have They Done To Solange?) who was outstanding. There are some terrifically gothic set pieces, glorious gore in the titular scenes which is repeated later appropriately. Recommended to 70s Italian horror fans.

I agree it's a toss up between her and the shrieking black guy in grave encounters.

Now you mention it he was also an irritant and oxygen waster.

I've been pretty disappointed by alien movies lately and even more disappointed by how aliens have looked lately. Now the aliens in this movie look pretty stupid but the movie itself wasn't that bad. It has it's flaws:

The pacing is too quick
The dialogue is pretty bad at times
There are some really stupid moments
It feels like a small part of something big
and like i said the aliens look pretty stupid

But putting that aside, i found it entertaining.

I last watched The Innkeepers. Really enjoyed it. :)

"Intruders" (2011) 1/10

Time wasting stupidity.

Babycall (2011)

Pretty slow burn & bit predictable but a decent psychological thriller from Norway.

Saw Prometheus yesterday. Enjoyed it, but I'll admit there was a couple of times that I actually fell asleep!

Choose (2011), was pretty good. The start was a bit ridiculous but fortunately the rest of the film didn't follow suit. 6/10

"Safe House" 7/10

A not very original action flick with a perfect pacing.

Session 9 (2001) was okay, until the ending. Amazing setting though, I would love to roam around an abandoned asylum. 6/10

Piranha 3DD
I really liked the first one. It had such a great self awareness about itself. It knew exactly what kind of movie it was and didnt try and be anything more but it also didnt take itself lightly because of that fact. It was funny, well done and had some great moments of horror.

The sequel however is not that good.

Taking it from a beach to a water park instantly tones it down and makes it a much smaller movie by reducing the setting. Instead of the steady build up the first one hand, this one throws piranha attacks at you all throughout the movie and none of them are good. The first one built up so well to the climatic ending but this one didnt at all and the attack at the pool was nowhere near as good as the first one.

Christopher Lloyd and Ving Rhames role's just seemed pointless this time around although i thought David Hasselhoff was at least entertaining playing himself.

If it wasn't for the blood and the nudity this is the kind of thing i would expect to see on the SyFy channel. It's not terrible or anything but it's just not as good as the first. I know it's not fair to compare it that way but honestly without the first one, i wouldn't even be giving this one the credit i am.

I can't believe I'm actually agreeing with you on something but I don't understand why people liked this movie. I'm not opposed to slow and suspensful movies but this one was awful. Literally one of the most boring movies I've ever seen; I almost fell asleep while trying to watch it. To each their own though.

I did - it didn't help.

I finally got to sit down and watch Microwave Massacre (1983) last night. 80's movie magic, perfectly campy with some great lines. Jackie Vernon was great. If you like "bad" 80's movies and haven't seen it, then check it out. It's definitely worth experiencing.

Its funny you say that because i actually got drunk when i saw the first one

Oh yeah. I discovered this one when I was about 13, sitting on a dusty lower shelf in my video store's horror section.

The Other
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...R80214317_.jpg

Really boring and not creepy at all. It got a little interesting after the reveal but they didnt do enough with it. Definitely not my favorite evil little kid movie.

Ever since I had that marathon of nothing but shitty horror movies, I've been in a funk. Does this happen to other people?

last movie
 

the innkeepers

i thought it was decent. it used the inhaler too much to protect its ending, which turned out to be a cop out anyways, just not out of the blue i guess. has its moments. its filmed well, lighting is good, ghost are scary, trailer gave away too much though. acting i thought was good as well. it was a bit slow for me. and way too many "fake" scares... kinda dragged. but still i gave it like a 6. it entertainted. just didnt come through all the way.

One of my all time favorites; a true gem of its kind.

Agreed. A great 70s classic.

I watched Piranhaconda last night. It was on SyFy Channel last Saturday as their new "Original Movie". It had Michael Madsen and Rachel Hunter in it. Being one of those people who actually enjoy SyFy Channel movies I welcomed it with open arms. It was however pretty bad. The giant snake was ok, but we didn't get any background on it other than it was a "genetic mutation". I was hoping for more of a mad scientist cross bred a Piranha with an Andaconda or they both got merged by nuclear waste or something. Michael Madsen acted like he hadn't read the script, and was just reading from cue cards. It was just kind of generic, even for SyFy.

Haven't seen the movie but thought the book was great; genuinely creepy - Highly recommended.

Maybe i was in a funk or something when i watched it. Seems like im in the minority here.

Smokin Aces

When this came out, the previews for it made it look really stupid to me so i never bothered to watch it but my brother in law was talking to me about so i decided to check it out and i have to say, it's actually really good. Fun, action packed with a good story and great ending.

what happens when you get in a funk??

couldnt stand smokmin aces...but guess what!!!we're all different and special in our own special way :)

I knew someone was going to comment on that choice of phrasing. ;)

I just meant i wasn't really into it, my mind was elsewhere

gotta agree with the other posters about The Other....I thought it was one of the best "evil kid movies"....great atmosphere.

and I also liked "Smoking Aces"

Funny.. I don't recall any titties showing in either of those movies?

Good Music - Good Stuff.

In Smoking Aces, the part where the hookers are all laying around Buddy's penthouse....so there you go

Exorcist 3

good,shit load better than exorcist 2

Yep, I enjoyed Brad Dourif as the Gemini Killer.

The Unnameable II and Lucio Fulci's The Black Cat, both were much better than I had expected.

Entrance (2012)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...c/Entrance.jpg

Almost nothing happens in the first hour of this indie feature. Camera just follows the female lead on her day to day boring life activity from her house to the job place & then back home again. But when there's only about 30 minutes left of its running time, almost out of the blue it took an unexpected turn, body count begins & things get quite brutal near the end & then again it all ends suddenly.

So, as an indie horror flick, it wasn't that bad at all. The main theme & idea was fine but they took crap a load of dull time for the character & to set the premise.

>>: B-

So, no one saw Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter this weekend?

Feast 2: Sloppy Seconds
Feast 3: The Happy Finish

I saw the first Feast movie when it came out (and a few times since) but hadn't seen saw part 2 or 3. I got a kick out of them and actually laughed out loud a few times. Those movies really kind of remind me of a modern version of Peter Jackson's Bad Taste. Over the top, gross, and just plain entertaining.

Good stuff but depressing as hell. Fine performance from Quinn.
