Horror Movies

[TheLancinator]

Yeah, my mother let me and my brother watch horror movies when we were kids. Of course back then, they were so much scarier because you are young. I watched the original Friday the 13tth when I was around 11 or 12...I was afraid of the woods at night for quite awhile after that.

The Music Scared The Poop Out Of Me

Me too! Halloween too...and the creepy music from the Amityville Horror as well

By today's standards the stuff we saw in the 70's and early 80's is dated for sure, but that whole fear thing still lasts from the early age.

I'm 40 and see stuff from when I was a teen and I remember the fear I felt still as an older dude just by seeing a trailer of a particular flick from then. The sounds and the music of some stuff. "Susperia..." holy shit should those fellas that made music - which I think was NOT made for the movie - should have put into an asylum quick fast!!

The posters from the 60's and 70's can be creepy themselves, especially the euro stuff. I can just about get sick seeing some of them.

*really disappointed sigh*
Didn't even make half way through this piece of shit! Look like a couple of teens made this with the camcorder their parents got them for Christmas! Total waste of time!

Wow...I was actually pretty impressed with this one considering I knew nothing about it going in. It had the feel of the old 70's horror flicks. theacting was pretty good, effects pretty good (although a bit over the top in some places) and it had some pretty brutal scenes in it topped off by one truly disgusting scene that was hard to watch. I don't need to tell you where it is in the film because if you watch it, you will know the scene instantly.

For a low budget film I thought it was excellent.

I'm not sure but I think this may be the first of the newest set of the 8 Films To Die For that I have seen. This is also the best one I have seen out of all off them. Tis not great by any stretch, but it's a whole lot better than the rest IMO.

It's a bit slow in spots and the acting could be better, but overall it was at least watchable and the plot was pretty decent and so were the effects. It got as bit silly in the end and there was a scene that I didn't understand why it was there, but it was still pretty good. Worth a watch if you are looking for a horror flick you haven't seen yet.

I'm the same way!

[aliEn RIK]

Actually I HAVE seen that! I know the scene your talking about now Lance
Just watched this (which is what I got it confused with...........)



Pretty good actually and the fact that the gorgeous Elisha Cuthbert as the lead didnt harm it any

[TheLancinator]

It started with promise and then quickly deteriorated from there...after the first 5 minutes.

The plot was stupid, the acting bad, the effects were surprisingly decent but they were over the top and made no sense in many spots. The end of it was stupid as well. Come to think of it, the whole film pretty much sucked. I'd avoid this one.

This was creepy in 1970 something late night on channel 9 here in New York. Today it is not!! Great name for a flick, surprised it hasn't been turned into a remake cause it isn't bad storyline for some horror fun.

"Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things"

[TheLancinator]

I have now seen the most disturbing movie that I could even imagine. It's based on a true story and a bit of research should be done before watching this.

This movie has several issues going on with it, with my biggest one is that it is done as an art house movie, not a horror flick (although that doesn't mean there is no gore in it). If you watch it, make sure you get the unrated version (although I would have a hard time actually recommending this movie) as the unrated version is 89 minutes long and the US 'R' rated release has 18 minutes cut from it. I saw the unrated version.

*mild spoilers ahead*

This movie is basically in three 'chapters' for lack of a better term. The first half hour is him looking for his victim, the middle half hour is the 2 together (and there is a LOT of male nudity as both people in the film are gay which I didn't know until seeing the film and then doing research), and the final half hour has some of the most realistic and hard to watch scenes I have ever seen in a film. If I didn't know any better, I would swear this was a snuff film. I do not recommend this if you have a weak stomach because it is EXTREMELY graphic and very believable. Same should be said for the middle half hour as if you have a huge problem with homosexuality, you will find that section of the film disturbing and hard to watch as well.

As disturbing and graphic as this movie is, it is also boring for most of the film as well if you can believe that. The run time of the film is 89 minutes and there is maybe 10 minutes worth of dialog, the rest is all visual, and for most of the film, the pacing is very slow and plods along until the last 20 minutes or so. Then the film is very hard to watch with the butchering and disemboweling scenes.

*end mild spoilers*

This is definitely a movie that will stay with you for awhile, and I don't mean that in a good way.

This film is banned in Germany, the place the crime actually took place.

Magic, madness and mayhem join in this diabolical remake of the 1970 horror cult classic. Crispin Glover (Willard) stars as a master illusionist whose female audience participants (The Suicide Girls) are hideously murdered onstage, only to miraculously reappear untouched. But when a smart reporter (Kip Pardue, Remember the Titans) finds they re later turning up dead with the same wounds as those inflicted during the performance, his investigation leads to unimaginable terror. Featuring Bijou Phillips (Hostel: Part II) and Brad Dourif (Rob Zombie s Halloween), Wizard of Gore takes you on a terrifying journey deep into the heart of evil. (from Amazon.com)

Wasn't too bad for a low budget flick! The Suicide Girls and their naked tattooed bodies saved it for me! (heehee) Had some so so gore and quite a bit of nudity! All and all I give it 3 and a half skulls out of 5!

Friggin Terrible
Complete Let Down



For once a imdb reviewer got it smack on

My biggest problem with this movie is the total lapse of logic. Here's a list of the things I thought were absolutely stupid about this movie.

1. In the rare event of a new case of the disease, why would the military's containment plan be to round up all of the citizens and lock them in a parking garage? What sense does it make to stick hundreds of people packed in tight quarters when you're dealing with an infectious virus? Wouldn't it make more sense to have them all stay in their homes. Everyone lived in high rise apartment buildings. The buildings themselves could have been put on lock down, and everyone locked in their apartment. That way if someone gets infected, it is limited to their room, or possibly just that floor. Instead one person gets bitten in the parking garage and suddenly hundreds of people are infected in a matter or seconds.

2. How come they lock all these citizens in the parking garage, the panicked citizens can't get out, but oh wait, there's a completely unguarded fire exit near the back of garage that the military completely overlooked when coming up with this lame plan

3. Why did they kill the power to the entire city as part of the containment plan? Hey zombies are on the loose! How bout we . . . .kill the lights and make it harder for us to see them?

4. Why was the dad such a smart zombie? Aren't all the zombies just raging lunatics running around growling looking for people to eat? When the dad first gets infected he just starts raging out and can get out of the glass room he's locked himself in. But all the sudden once he's full out zombie. . .he suddenly gains the ability to use his key card to swipe himself in and out of the various restricted areas of the facility. If super smart zombie dad can do things like use his key card, why don't the zombies learn how to use guns, and open doors instead of smashing through them. . .its just stupid. All the other zombies just like grab, spray, and bite their victims, pretty straightforward stuff. But zombie dad for some reason does the eye gouge move to mom . . .and other times in the movie tackles victims and then like ponders for a moment what to do before proceeding with the killing. Another example of zombie dad not following the pattern of other zombies. He also sees the son in one scene, but rather than run straight at him and attack like all zombies do when they see a human, zombie dad decides to hide and reveal himself at a more appropriate moment. Lame!

5. The whole mom being a carrier of the disease but not turning into a zombie was stupid as well. When the zombies bust in and attack her. . .the fact that she lived without a being mauled and escapes with only a single bite mark means one thing. . .that once the zombies bit her and she contracted the disease, that they then stopped attacking her because she was one of them. So by that logic, the zombies don't attack and kill each other. But then when the dad turns into a zombie the first thing he does is kill the mom. So how the hell did that fit in? This made me question the entire zombies existence in the first place. They eat humans. . .but as soon as you're bitten you turn into a zombie within seconds, and then what they stop eating you? so ill reference the point where the two zombies somehow find their way onto the roof (entirely too quickly and easily I might add) and start attacking the sniper, so the other sniper shoots his friend to spare him the misery of being attacked by zombies. And if I remember correct the zombies just run away from his dead body. Aren't they hungry? Why wouldn't they eat his body

6. The military is just made to look so stupid in this film. Their plans are retarded and ill advised. The infection should have never gotten so out of hand as it did. They definitely had the fire power to kill everyone in the city. The place is crawling with armed soldiers. . .the dad should have been able to maybe bite a person or two before someone saw him and shot him. Also as soon as they realized the children might have a vaccine in their blood or something, they would have broadcast that info all over the radio and, not just ignored the fact and easily lose track of them. They show you an Apache helicopter they use to chase humans in the movie, but they never brought this Apache out when they actually needed to suppress the zombies. Instead the main characters get helped by some chopper pilot flying some weak, unarmed helicopter.

7. Considering how horrible the disease is, and how easily it is contracted through blood and fluids, nobody in the movie seems to care about cleanliness. If I had blood splattered on my face after shooting up zombies I would definitely wipe it off my face in case it got in my eyes or mouth. But nope, even the chief medical officer isn't worried about the highly infectious fluids on everyone.

8. Then they don't even really explain the end. What was with the scene of the inside of the helicopter at the end? And Paris are you serious. . .how the **** are they going to explain how it got off the island?

If 28 days later hadn't been so good I wouldn't have expected more than this lame effort for the sequel. It's like 3rd graders wrote the script or something.
