Night of the Demons (1988)

The acting is utter shit but the special effect makeups are decent enough and it's actually pretty fun.

I not concern my a-hole roommate say about the Sinister Man. He brilliant in this movie!! ::love::

Can't wait for part II.

It was fairly silly/bad. Angela Lansbury was fairly awful. However the transformation scene in the early part of the film was great. I mean it looks very fake by our standards, but it was great for back then(1984). I skimmed the last 20 minutes. You get to see a briefly naked Danielle Dax. Shrug. I'd just watch the transformation scene on youtube and skip the film.
4/10

Considering how nit picky I am about werewolves having more human characteristics rather than going full wolf, I actually enjoyed this film. Mostly cause the end tied it up with that life lesson that inspired the story of Little Red Riding Hood (of which the movie's loosely based on if I remember correctly). And if the transformation you're talking about is the one I have in mind, then I must agree that it was completely worth price of admission.

Today I watch 1 that much unknown sequel to early 80s witch movie. This good and deserve more fan love.

CUJO (1983). Feel that this has aged well and enjoyed it more than when I saw it back when. Dee Wallace is quite good in the scenes involving the title pooch and a few boffo scares. Did feel sorry for the dogs, having to wear all that makeup::big grin::.***

Slipstream 1989

Basically after a global apocalypse there's this corridor of intense wind people fly on 'strange' looking planes.

I didn't get very far. Its quite bad. Not much more to say really. Acting, dialogue, etc. So bad.

CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS 1972


So bad yet so good. A group of actors spend the night on an island where their egocentric dick of a director hopes to raise the dead. To what end, I'm not sure, but he is successful after a few false starts.

I liked it. Maybe you would too.

Hey I remember that one! I caught it on the 'It's Alive!' show when I was in college. For a zombie movie, I rather enjoyed it. Probably because it was old and kinda hammy. I wonder if YouTube has it. I could rewatch it.

Most strange horror villian I see in while:

It is on YouTube..that's the only real access I have to movies!

Great! I'll look it up! Thanks, Bloofer! 8)

Oh I know, I know....Tomb of Dracula!

Poltergeist (1982)

I have a bit of a confession to make. I've never really sat down and put my entire attention towards the original Poltergeist. The last time I saw it was when I was much younger, and I had no clue what was going on. Anyway, Poltergeist is without a doubt one of the great 80's classics, not only in horror, but in all genres. I loved almost every second of it. It had some great scary scenes and an awesome score. The movie allowed its audience to really identify and sympathize with the Freelings because of all the character development, and that's what makes this movie stand out from all the other supernatural flicks of its time.

9/10

Now that you've better familiarized yourself with the classic, how does the remake match up to it?

oh yeah... no

Insightful.

Thanks :P

I really think it's not fair to compare the remake to the original because they're both completely different. The remake has more in common with Insidious and The Grudge than the original Poltergeist. It has that dark lighting and fluid cinematography that a lot of modern ghost flicks have, and it's a lot more jumpy than the original.

Fair enough. I feel like I really need to see the remake just to make my own comparison. But from what you say I already see one problem. We call it a remake, and yet it's nothing like the original. Shouldn't a remake pay homage to the original by staying faithful to it's story, characters, etc? But like I said I haven't seen it so I really can't say anything. When it comes out I'll look for it online and give it a watch.

I wouldn't say it's NOTHING like the original. It's just a different style. The story is almost exactly the same.

You're getting me excited to watch it when you say things like that. lol

Well I was halfway through rewatching Fri13th pt1, but dad decided he didn't like it, so therefore it shouldn't be on and turned it off.

Horror Express, 1972. 9/10

Yes, such a delight.

Finally got to finish my rewatch of 'Friday the 13th part 1', and even got part 2 in. So many movies I have yet to watch once and I decided to rewatch another series XD

Dracula A.D. 1972

LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM 1988


Really don't know how I missed this one..british cheesy horror and all. A vampy snake woman, ludicrous hallucination scenes and beautiful U.K. countryside shots.

Sleepaway Camp III Teenage Wasteland

Abel Ferrara's Driller Killer - 1979 One of splatter punks finest moments.

DEAD AND BURIED (1981). Extremely quirky but damn good with a stellar performance by Jack Albertson (The Man from CHICO AND THE MAN), his last. ****

The Creature From Black Lake

One of my favorite bigfoot movies. I'm not saying it's a great movie, because I think my love of Cryptid related films clouds my judgement on such things, but to me, this movie represents all that is good about 1970's drive-in super crap. It's cheesy, it's pace is leisurely, the creature is a man in a hairy suit, and you get Dennis Fimple, John David Carson, Jack Elam and Dub Taylor to boot!
