422,819 | 2,248,099 | 66,434 | 2 | Dull and disappointing science fiction flick | George Lucas will , of course , always be remembered for his masterpiece ; the Star Wars series , and for good reason ; as he hasn't done much else . While American Graffiti was a nice non-Star Wars film for the man , this one ; THX-1138 certainly isn't . For a man who made such a big impact on the Sci-Fi / Fantasy gen... |
422,672 | 2,248,099 | 65,483 | 2 | More utter crap from Andy Milligan | Andy Milligan has firmly established himself in my mind as probably the worst horror director of all time . Despite making decent sexploitation flick ' Seeds ' in 1968 , Milligan has succeeded only in boring me to death with the rest of his crappy oeuvre since then , and this film is certainly no exception . I really d... |
423,551 | 2,248,099 | 83,185 | 2 | Terrible cannibals ! | It's safe to say that cannibal films are an acquired taste , but I think it's safe to say that it is one that I have acquired . However , even I am struggling for good things to say about Cannibal Terror . The best cannibal films hail from Italy , so the fact that this one was a French and Spanish co-production may hav... |
421,951 | 2,248,099 | 92,074 | 2 | Like a bad kids ' film | TerrorVision is apparently a horror-comedy ; but I have a problem with this . Any horror in the film is laughable ; but like the rest of the movie , it's not laughable in the funny kind of way . No , this film is just lame , and unlikely to be enjoyed by anyone over ( or under ) the age of ten . I'll get the positive e... |
423,801 | 2,248,099 | 126,527 | 2 | An awful mess and complete waste of film stock | As I suspect is the case with most people who have seen this film , it was the title that attracted me to it . However , I actually wish that a less witty one had been selected , because then I might not have bothered with this silly little slasher flick . In fairness , the film has suffered a lot in production ; but s... |
421,750 | 2,248,099 | 276,626 | 2 | Went the Wrong Way on ripping off The Last House on the Left | Usually , I love this sort of film . . . but Wrong Way just doesn't cut it . The influence from Wes Craven's classic The Last House on the Left is clear and obvious throughout , but the film doesn't do anything new with it and overall is really rather boring . The Last House on the Left inspired a number of rape and re... |
422,983 | 2,248,099 | 69,753 | 2 | Dull Eurotrash rubbish | It was an accident that I even saw this film - I bought the DVD from Diamond Entertainment under the assumption that the disk , titled " Umberto Lenzi Presents Kiss Me , Kill Me " was actually the 1969 Giallo , which also stars Carol Baker . Diamond Entertainment made a mistake , and the disk and the cover do not match... |
422,471 | 2,248,099 | 320,661 | 2 | Kingdom of Tedium | One of the current trends in cinema is ' historical epics ' . Thanks largely to Lord of the Rings , these sorts of films have been sweeping the cinemas recently , and I have successfully managed to avoid all of them . Kingdom of Heaven stood out as being one that might not be rubbish , however , but unfortunately ; it ... |
421,707 | 2,248,099 | 439,615 | 2 | Boring combination of war flick and zombie movie . | A general rule of thumb when it comes to movies is : if it involves Nazi's , don't watch it . From the crappy Nazisploitation genre that was unjustly popular in the seventies to ' Nazi zombie ' movies like Shock Waves and Zombie Lake , there's rarely anything good that involves Nazi's - and " Horrors of War " not only ... |
421,914 | 2,248,099 | 338,763 | 2 | Dull and uninteresting - a great shame | The original Battle Royale is one of my favourite films of all time . It's fusion of extreme violence and a thought provoking , complex substance made for a very different and refreshing movie . The sequel , unfortunately , is merely a stale variation on the events of the first film . It's ironic that this sequel is a ... |
423,671 | 2,248,099 | 74,769 | 2 | Extremely poor Satanic horror | Peter Cushing and Donald Pleasance are legendary actors , and director Kostas Karagiannis was the man behind the successful Greek Giallo-esquire thriller Death Kiss in 1974 ; and yet when you combine the three talents , all you get is this complete load of drivel ! God only knows what drove the likes of Peter Cushing a... |
421,700 | 2,248,099 | 430,357 | 2 | A bad Michael Mann film ? Oh yes , another one . | Well , I've never seen Miami Vice the TV Show ( or ever wanted to see Miami Vice the TV Show ) , I dislike Michael Mann films very much and I'd heard this one was below par even for him , so why did I bother seeing it ? Well , I suppose I maybe thought it might be an entertaining buddy cop flick - wrong ! I never reali... |
422,807 | 2,248,099 | 52,077 | 2 | There comes a time in every man's life when he cannot even believe his own eyes . . . | . . . and that time for this man came whilst watching Plan 9 From Outer Space . Obviously , I went into this film knowing that I was letting myself in for something truly terrible - but even so , nothing could prepare me for just how BAD this is . To be honest , I'm still in shock - how ever did this film manage to get... |
422,573 | 2,248,099 | 86,486 | 2 | Oasis of boring zombie rubbish | Jess Franco and low budget eighties zombies . It will be a match made in either heaven or hell , depending on how you look at it - but I'm more inclined to go with the latter . I do consider myself a fan of Jess Franco , but he has an annoying habit of making amazingly terrible movies , and even at the best of times ; ... |
422,197 | 2,248,099 | 156,706 | 2 | Boring zombie tedium | Well , Fulci's follow-up to his original zombie masterpiece , Zombie Flesh-Eaters , actually wasn't bad at all for what it was - and even the rip-off After Death had its moments . But Killing Birds a . k . a . Zombi 5 has a complete lack of good points , and if it wasn't for the fact that it's been lumped in with Fulci... |
422,251 | 2,248,099 | 73,794 | 3 | Boring vampire film | Peter Cushing in a vampire movie . Sound good ? Yes I thought so too . . . until I saw Tender Dracula . This is a French film and comes across as something like an arty Hammer Horror flick . The plot focuses on two writers . They go on a trip with their girlfriends ( who both look like men in drag ) and end up at the c... |
422,916 | 2,248,099 | 70,445 | 3 | Terrible exploitation garbage | Well , I actually thought that this film would be about zombies , but instead the lacklustre plot follows a deranged young man who keeps women locked up in his barn in order to use them for some kind of circus trick . The film is yet another entry in the already full to the brim seventies exploitation cannon , and whil... |
423,296 | 2,248,099 | 112,854 | 3 | The radio was only playing rubbish on the set of this stinker | You know those really stupid ideas you get sometimes when you wake up in the middle of the night ? Well , you can imagine the scene : the man who would later have the idea for Destiny Turns on the Radio is asleep in his bed . He wakes up in a cold sweat one night ; " A magic swimming pool ! " , he exclaims , " . . and ... |
421,897 | 2,248,099 | 83,585 | 3 | Dull and boring Giallo from former master Sergio Martino | The Scorpion with Two Tails has all the makings of a great Giallo . Aside from the intriguing title , it's also directed by Sergio Martino ; the same man who made some of the best Giallo's of the seventies with films such as The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh , it's written by Ernesto Gastaldi ; whose name will mean a lot t... |
422,422 | 2,248,099 | 217,869 | 3 | Unbreakable - what a load of twaddle ! | I seem to remember my opinion of M Night Shyamalan going up slightly after watching this . Not that Unbreakable was any good - just that it was a hell of a lot better than the God-awful The Sixth Sense . Rewatching bad films isn't something I make a habit of doing , but this one came on TV at a time when I didn't have ... |
422,124 | 2,248,099 | 66,267 | 3 | A boring and poorly made Italian oddity | Well , I'm a massive fan of Italian horror ; particularly Giallo and Gothic horror , so I was looking forward to this given that it's meant to be a sort of cross-over between the two . However , my hopes were dashed as Something is Creeping in the Dark is one boring and poorly made film ! I spent an hour and a half wat... |
422,551 | 2,248,099 | 411,806 | 3 | Second offering of 2005 Return of the Living Dead films is almost as as bad as the first | If you thought that the Return of the Living Dead series couldn't get any worse than the pointless third sequel , you'd be right . While this is still an awful , stupid mess ; at least it's a ( slight ! ) improvement over the first of the 2005 offerings ; but of course , that isn't saying anything . Quite why someone h... |
423,886 | 2,248,099 | 95,484 | 3 | Extremely lame ghost story - nothing worth seeing here ! | I went into this film expecting a horror film , as that's what my TV guide touted it as - but was disappointed ( to say the least ! ) when it turned out that this film is actually a childish fantasy , in the vein of that other load of rubbish ; Paperhouse ( also from 1988 ) . It took about twenty minutes for me to real... |
422,646 | 2,248,099 | 61,014 | 3 | Bava and Price combine to make a double career worst ! | Mario Bava is one of my all time favourite directors , and Vincent Price is one of my all time favourite actors ; so despite the fact that I didn't like Dr Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine at all , I still felt almost as if catching this needless sequel was a duty I had to fulfil . Before making this film , Bava had alr... |
423,846 | 2,248,099 | 61,005 | 3 | No good Gothic horror | On the face of it , this film would seem to have a lot going for it . First up we've got a role for the great Barbara Steele , and second of all the director is Michael Reeves ; the same man behind the horror classic Witchfinder General . However , The She-Beast can only be described as a colossal failure . Naturally ,... |
423,983 | 2,248,099 | 66,479 | 3 | Crappy soft-core porn spoof | This crappy sex comedy was apparently based on a classic movie with a similar title . That fact doesn't make any difference , however , because as a porn film , a spoof , a jungle adventure or anything else ; Trader Hornee is a crappy film that doesn't work on any level . The plot is just an excuse for the main charact... |
423,619 | 2,248,099 | 83,155 | 3 | Mostly dull nunsploitation rubbish | ' Exorcism ' is not Jess Franco's best film , but it's certainly not the worst either - which doesn't say much for much of the rest of his oeuvre ! From the title , I was expecting this to be a rip-off of The Exorcist , but it's more like Ken Russell's classic nunsploitation flick ' The Devils ' . As usual with films l... |
423,312 | 2,248,099 | 396,938 | 3 | Witchcraft has never been so boring | Every now and then , I see a film advertised in the TV guide that I'll see for no other reason than the title sounds interesting . Believe it or not , I thought that ' Witches of the Caribbean ' sounded interesting . I'm a fan of witch related films , as they often make for good horror and the Caribbean setting was lea... |
422,923 | 2,248,099 | 118,025 | 3 | Messy , silly , illogical rubbish . Disappointment from the talented team behind Maniac Cop | Uncle Sam represents the only non-Maniac Cop collaboration between Larry Cohen and William Lustig , which is a shame . Aside from just making a derivative psycho killer film , it seems obvious that writer Larry Cohen wanted Uncle Sam to have some brains too , which is shown by the attempt to inject a message into the p... |
422,481 | 2,248,099 | 91,847 | 3 | Rubbish French zombie flick ! | The title of this film alludes to it possibly being a sequel and the only film I could think of that it could be a sequel to is one of the two good Jean Rollin films , ' The Living Dead Girl ' . This film actually has nothing to do with said film and has no relation to it beyond also being French ; but Pierre B . Reinh... |
422,570 | 2,248,099 | 91,707 | 3 | Seeing this film wouldn't be one of my three wishes | I was worried that this film might be just an eighties version of the crappy nineties horror ' Wishmaster ' , but as it happens ; it would have been a better film if it were . The problem with this film , ironically considering it's a trashy eighties horror film , is simply that it's boring . It starts out slow , and e... |
422,921 | 2,248,099 | 113,253 | 3 | Complete waste of time | Halloween 6 was the only Halloween film I hadn't seen ( before I watched it ) , which means that I've now completely wasted my time on no less than eight Halloween films . Given that each film has an approximate running time of ninety minutes , that means I have wasted 12 hours of my time on this rubbish , which of cou... |
423,391 | 2,248,099 | 113,269 | 3 | Doesn't even come close to doing James Herbert's book justice . | Some of the best films of all time have been literary adaptations ; but this adaptation of James Herbert's novel , ' Haunted ' , isn't one of them . James Herbert is one of my favourite writers , and although ( and I'm sure my fellow Herbert fans will agree with me ) Haunted isn't the man's best work - it surely deserv... |
422,204 | 2,248,099 | 87,336 | 3 | Superfluous eighties slasher crap | There wasn't exactly a shortage of slashers in the eighties , and consequently a lot of the non-memorable ones are just there to bulk out the numbers . This is one such film . Girls Nite Out is yet another slasher flick that takes place on a school campus , and as such ; all the characters in the film are your common s... |
421,755 | 2,248,099 | 155,704 | 3 | Mostly boring war themed exploitation | Whether or not this film was supposed to be powerful I don't know , but despite some ghastly images and a sort of documentary feel , Faccia di Spia is a mostly boring Italian effort . The film , as the English title ( ' C . I . A . Spy Story ' ) suggests focuses on events surrounding the C . I . A . I'm very interested... |
421,850 | 2,248,099 | 78,767 | 3 | A very lacking film | The Amityville Horror is often regarded as something of a minor classic within the horror genre ; but this is an unfounded viewpoint , as this film is largely rubbish . The first hour and a half at least are boring , and when it finally does begin to get exciting ; you're already too bored to care . The plot follows a ... |
422,030 | 2,248,099 | 338,526 | 3 | Classic horror writers , actors and directors turn in their graves | The idea behind this film comes off the back of this recent trend of blending together different stories to make one lesser story ; the stories in question being , principally ; those of Dracula , Frankenstein and The Wolf Man . From this premise , you can't expect ' greatness ' , but you can expect a fun romp and , su... |
422,146 | 2,248,099 | 470,993 | 3 | Big crazy mess | Well . . . it's a pretty sure sign that you've seen a bad film when you spent nearly an hour and a half watching it and you can barely think of anything at all to say about it ! Crazy Eights was released as a part of the ' 8 Films to Die For ' set in 2006 . I can't say I've been overwhelmingly impressed with what I've ... |
423,693 | 2,248,099 | 74,569 | 3 | If only it really was the Gestapo's LAST orgy . . . | If it's a bad film you're after , then I recommend seeing anything from the abysmal Nazisploitation sub-genre , as unless I'm missing something ; they're all terrible ! Never has there been a film type so moronic and redundant , and The Gestapo's Last Orgy doesn't do anything to make me reconsider that notion . I suppo... |
422,501 | 2,248,099 | 412,523 | 3 | Stupid and not much fun either | I could say that this film isn't rubbish , but then I'd be a liar . Boa vs . Python is one of those ' Sci Fi Original ' films that I usually avoid ; but for some reason I decided to give this one a go , and it turned out to be a completely pointless endeavour . It's a sad state of affairs when it's been seventy one yea... |
422,192 | 2,248,099 | 109,275 | 3 | A sequel most foul ! | Introducing one of the most redundant sequels ever made ! I have to say , when I first heard that Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece ' The Birds ' had a made for TV sequel , I didn't quite believe it - but unfortunately , it turns out that it is true , and it's every bit as bad you would expect it to be . Gone is the gripp... |
422,713 | 2,248,099 | 481,280 | 3 | Bad acting , and bad everything else . | 2005 gave us the very decent " gore porn " flick Hostel , and 2006 gave us Live Feed ; a not so decent rip-off of Hostel . Live Feed follows pretty much the same formula as Eli Roth's earlier film , except this time the dumb kids are in Asia rather than central Europe . The plot focuses on these dumb kids , and one of ... |
423,264 | 2,248,099 | 416,315 | 3 | Seriously lacks originality | Despite what some may think , 2005 has actually been a rather decent year for horror movies . We've had The Devil's Rejects , The Skeleton Key , Emily Rose , The Descent and Land of the Dead to name a few good releases , and I was hoping that Wolf Creek would be able to further cement the year as one of the best for ho... |
423,130 | 2,248,099 | 65,887 | 3 | Messy Brit-horror | Incense for the Damned is a huge mess . The director , Robert Hartford-Davis changed the name he would be credited as for this movie , and anyone that sees the film will see why he did that . The movie tries to be a horror movie and a social satire , but it succeeds at being neither ; it just can't get away from the fa... |
422,386 | 2,248,099 | 412,467 | 3 | Boring and crap - a cut below other filth films | From the plot summary , you might think that August Underground might be like a heinously gory version of the Belgian semi-classic ' Man Bites Dog ' , but you'd be wrong as August Underground is nowhere near that good . The film apparently has the intention of being a phony snuff film , and indeed the violence looks gr... |
422,178 | 2,248,099 | 87,182 | 3 | Cinema has never seen a film as tedious as this one | David Lynch's highly lambasted take on Frank Herbert's cult novel ' Dune ' kicks off with an intro that makes out as if you're in for an interesting time . When it's finished , however , and you realise that there's a further two and three quarter hours until the final credits role ; interest in the movie falls sharply... |
422,312 | 2,248,099 | 74,751 | 3 | The eighth wonder of the world is a man in a gorilla suit ? | This remake has been pretty much forgotten about in recent years , and that's just as well because it's terrible . The original film came out forty three years before this one , and you would think , therefore , that this version would have greatly improved on the special effects . That's not the case at all ; the orig... |
423,870 | 2,248,099 | 182,996 | 3 | A derivative and stupid slasher flick | The first murder scene in this movie sees a young kid have his arm viciously chopped off . We then move onto a shot with the kid flailing around with a horribly fake stump attached to his shoulder . This scene pretty much sums up the entire movie ; a movie so terrible that only people trying to track down every film on... |
423,414 | 2,248,099 | 214,705 | 3 | The usual WIP crap | I bought this film thinking it was the 1975 Jess Franco video nasty / women in prison flick ' Women Behind Bars ' , so I was quite disappointed when I found it wasn't ( especially considering that , if it was , I'd now only be left with ' I Miss You , Hugs and Kisses ' to see before I've seen everything on the DPP list... |
422,645 | 2,248,099 | 60,174 | 3 | Plenty of ideas in a very messy movie | This film really is a complete mess so it came as no surprise to me that it's actually made up of about three different films that were spliced together over a period of a few years . It's a shame really because there's several interesting plot elements on show and they could definitely have resulted in a decent movie ... |
422,089 | 2,248,099 | 331,468 | 3 | Straw Dogs minus the good bits | The plot of this movie follows a family that , dismayed by their city life , decide to move to the country . However , if things were that simple it would make for a rather boring movie ( hmmm ) , so they move into a house that was once occupied by a man named Dale . . . and he wants his house back . It's not hard to w... |
421,811 | 2,248,099 | 79,197 | 3 | Another women in prison flick | I've come to realise through watching this sort of film that I don't like them very much . Caged Women is yet another ' women in prison ' film , and like the most of the rest of the genre ; the plot is completely forsaken in favour of simply showing nude women . Now don't get me wrong ; I love nude women , but I also l... |
423,151 | 2,248,099 | 377,749 | 3 | Just another dull ghost story - nothing to see here ! | The tagline for Dead Birds pretty much says it all . " There are worse things than dying " shows a complete lack of imagination , which is something common throughout this mundane movie . Ghost stories , particularly modern ones , tend to be rather boring and this film doesn't do anything to dispute that fact . The fac... |
421,844 | 2,248,099 | 71,478 | 3 | Dull Exorcist rip-off , not worth seeing ! | While I certainly consider The Exorcist to be a horror classic , I have to admit that I don't hold it in quite as high regard as many other horror fans do . As a consequence of that , I haven't seen many of The Exorcist rip-offs , and if Exorcismo is anything to go by , I'll have to say that's a good thing as this film... |
423,098 | 2,248,099 | 131,352 | 3 | An ingenious and refreshing Sci-Fi drama . . . not | Imagine the situation : you've just woken up in a strange place that you don't recognise , and after escaping , you return to the house that you , your wife and your daughter have lived in for the past few years , only to find that there's another family living there and , get this , nobody knows who you are ; as far a... |
423,548 | 2,248,099 | 64,369 | 3 | As amateurish as they come , a shocking waste of film stock ! | I saw this film purely based on the fact that it was on the DPP Video Nasty list , and while I'm glad I saw it because it's now ' another Video Nasty down ' - on its own merits , Andy Milligan's film really isn't worth bothering with . There are , of course , far worse films on the infamous list ; but that doesn't make... |
423,432 | 2,248,099 | 166,110 | 3 | Packs about as much bark as a goldfish | Hey , don't you think it's kind of odd that someone would stab themselves in the chest with a flick knife and then bury themselves ? If your answer to the above question is " I agree " , then you could have been , or may well be part of the team of monkeys that came up with the idea for , wrote and cast this movie . It... |
422,086 | 2,248,099 | 75,164 | 3 | One part unoriginal and two parts boring | Satan's Slave is a derivative of the good British horror films such as The Wicker Man . However , while The Wicker Man managed to entice the viewer with its interesting , enticing and original plot ; Satan's Slave only succeeds in being boring . The plot of Satan's Slave follows the story of a young girl ( Candace Glen... |
422,182 | 2,248,099 | 315,733 | 3 | Just another drama | A year or so ago , I saw a film about a horrible accident that affected three different parties . This film followed these three lives , and we saw how the accident caused their lives to intertwine . The film was directed by a man named Alejandro González Iñárritu , and was notable for it's gritty styling and downtrodd... |
423,482 | 2,248,099 | 82,782 | 3 | More slasher crap from the eighties | It would seem that even deranged psychopaths don't just kill for any reason . Calendar dates always provide these lunatics with a great excuse to go around butchering people ; we've had Halloween , Prom Night , Christmas . . . god knows what else ; and now we have Valentines Day . Naturally , the resulting film is just... |
423,877 | 2,248,099 | 75,261 | 3 | Boring B-grade horror crap . Not worth bothering with . | Squirm has a bad reputation . I was hoping this would be because of its B-movie status , but it turns out that its earned this reputation because of the fact that it's really , really boring . The first half of the movie drones on and on and since the characters are so poorly defined and uninteresting , Squirm leaves i... |
423,132 | 2,248,099 | 335,266 | 3 | Not the masterpiece it claims to be | With The Godfather part 3 , Sofia Coppola proved that acting isn't her forte . So what about directing ? Well , Lost in Translation is my first taste of Ms Coppola behind the camera , and let's just say ; if her other films aren't as good as this , then I hope this is my last taste also . Lost in Translation is the tal... |
421,790 | 2,248,099 | 95,120 | 3 | Laughably Un-Evil | I have no idea why I even entertained the notion of watching this film . Eighties slashers don't do much for me at the best of times , and this one doesn't exactly have a good reputation . The film just follows on from the barrage of Friday the 13th / Halloween films and offers nothing new for the genre . To his credit... |
422,064 | 2,248,099 | 455,857 | 3 | So many squandered opportunities for a good film | Here we are then with yet another lacklustre remake of a ' classic ' horror film . Quite why the powers that be decided to remake the 1979 slasher ' When a Stranger Calls ' is anyone's guess as it's not exactly well known and respected . However , initially this remake doesn't sound like such a bad idea as it takes the... |
422,662 | 2,248,099 | 66,802 | 3 | Rubbish and forgettable trash | Well . . . from the plot description , you would certainly be forgiven for thinking this one sounds promising , and indeed it does ; but what we have here is a very turgid movie that doesn't make good use of any of it's positive elements . The base of the plot is not particularly original as it had been used in previou... |
423,902 | 2,248,099 | 319,829 | 3 | A terrible film , which should stay as masked and anonymous as possible | Bob Dylan may well be a great poet - but he can't sing . . . and he certainly can't act . Bob sleeps through this film with an expression that remains the same no matter what he's doing . He can be fighting , loving , being invaded by men with guns . . . going down for something he didn't do , and he still just stands ... |
422,024 | 2,248,099 | 112,895 | 4 | Ms Hyde has nothing on Sister Hyde ! | The seventies Hammer Horror film , Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde , took the ridiculous idea of Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr Jekyll accidentally turning himself into a woman and ended up making a brilliant horror film out of it - David Price's film , on the other hand , takes the same idea , pretty much ditches the horror an... |
422,942 | 2,248,099 | 382,652 | 4 | Lesbian porn and vampires . . . what could go wrong ? Apparently , everything ! | This is my third film from Seduction Cinema ( the other two , coincidentally also directed by Tony Marsiglia ) , and it's by far the worst . For some reason , the director has attempted to mix mysterious Gothic horror with soft-core lesbian action and the result is truly ridiculous . A lot of the film doesn't make sens... |
422,687 | 2,248,099 | 95,715 | 4 | Lethargic retelling of a classic story | On the one hand , I respect director Jan Svankmajer for having the guts to make this ; a stop-motion animated version of Lewis Carroll's classic story , ' Alice in Wonderland ' - but on the other hand ; I resent him for not making it better . I saw the Disney version of the story immediately before seeing this ; and th... |
422,434 | 2,248,099 | 66,144 | 4 | Disappointing voodoo rubbish | Amando de Ossorio will always be best remembered for his Blind Dead series of films , and that's a very good thing as the films he made outside of that trilogy aren't nearly as good - this one is a prime example . The subject of voodoo is an interesting one , but it never seems to cross over very well to movies , as ju... |
423,854 | 2,248,099 | 466,909 | 4 | Yet another pointless remake | Like most of the horror loving community , the news that British classic The Omen was to suffer an Americanised remake wasn't welcome , but I figured I'd give it a fair chance anyway . As usual with remakes , I now wish I hadn't as all this film does is remind me of how good the original is . Indeed , there is nothing ... |
423,890 | 2,248,099 | 65,168 | 4 | Messy Jean Rollin vampire flick | French director Jean Rollin isn't exactly known for great films , and this confusing mess is one of the reasons why . One of the most confusing things about this production is the title . For a director who is well known for directing erotic films about lesbian vampires ; you would expect a film with the word ' nude ' ... |
422,699 | 2,248,099 | 91,254 | 4 | Obscure and lacklustre thriller | Despite hearing nothing but bad things about it , I actually went into If Looks Could Kill with some expectations as I really liked the sound of the plot description . In terms of entertainment value , I often find that you cant go wrong with a trashy thriller ; but this one is shabbily made even by genre standards and... |
421,921 | 2,248,099 | 160,484 | 4 | Is it The Exorcist ? Is it The Omen ? No , it's just another rip-off . . . . | You just know going into a film like Lost Souls that you're in for a dreary time ; and this Winona Ryder vehicle doesn't disappoint in that respect . These Exorcist / Omen inspired films are ten a penny ; and this one is worth even less than the rest of the pack . Lacking the slightly intriguing elements of Stigmata , ... |
423,430 | 2,248,099 | 365,376 | 4 | Another boring film courtesy of the Asian horror industry | One thing that I have been less than impressed with over the last few years is the quality of films being pumped out of modern day Asia . While the continent has made some very nice films in the past ( Onibaba , Kaidan etc ) , the recent crop is dull . Samey , boring films ; all handling the same topics and I for one a... |
422,346 | 2,248,099 | 221,633 | 4 | Another insect related horror flick | I have to admit : I love films about rampaging bugs ! These flicks are often gruesome and gory , and the exaggerated insight into the insect world is often fascinating ; but They Nest is certainly not one of the best example of this type of film . In fact , for the first hour of the film ; practically nothing happens a... |
422,243 | 2,248,099 | 91,560 | 4 | Dreary eighties slashing by the numbers | I've never professed to be a fan of slashers , and films like this one are the reason why . Mountaintop Motel Massacre is just as trashy as it's name suggests , but it's also a ' slasher by the numbers ' with few surprises and , even worse , few good kill scenes and very little violence , which kind of makes viewing it... |
423,552 | 2,248,099 | 77,912 | 4 | Blood Feast's seventies update | Blood Feast will always have cult value for the fact that it was directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis , and for the fact that it is the oldest film to be featured on the DPP Video Nasty list . Whether or not it needed a seventies update , however , is up for debate ; but it got one , so I guess someone thought it did . M... |
422,432 | 2,248,099 | 126,004 | 4 | No lesbian vampires in sight , but still not a good film from Jean Rollin ! | Jean Rollin is best known for his lesbian vampire films . I have seen five of said films and all of them were rubbish . If The Iron Rose were another lesbian vampire flick , I would never have seen it ; but strangely , the non-lesbian vampire efforts I've seen from Jean Rollin ( The Living Dead Girl , The Grapes of Wra... |
423,124 | 2,248,099 | 420,728 | 4 | Cannibal Ferox 3 : The Predator Rip-Off ! | Ripping off big budget American films was a common practice for Italian filmmakers in the seventies and eighties with the likes of The Exorcist , Dirty Harry and Jaws being ' reinvented ' several times by a host of names , which often included Bruno Mattei . By 2003 , cheap exploitation cinema had become less popular i... |
422,241 | 2,248,099 | 359,658 | 4 | Nice try , but poorly made and not very good . | Australian Indie flick Marauders is a film that sets out its stall pretty quickly ; it's clear that it's going to be a nihilistic , yet poorly made thriller right from the word go . I do feel like I have to be slightly forgiving to the film because it's clear that the filmmakers had no budget and couldn't even afford d... |
423,161 | 2,248,099 | 294,594 | 4 | Dull , uninspired , unoriginal , dreary , messy , tedious little mystery flick | What we have here is another religion-themed mystery horror movie that is neither as successful as the films it's copying nor as inspired as it thinks it is . This film was released around four years ago , but I suspect that it has ran into some distribution problems as the film still doesn't have a wide release . This... |
422,454 | 2,248,099 | 95,271 | 4 | More rubbish from the Halloween people | Halloween 4 is a thought provoking drama that asks an intriguing question of it's audience - namely , " why are you watching this ? " . So come on , you've already wasted your time on three horrible Halloween movies , why are you back for more ? Are you a sucker for punishment ? Do you like terrible films with little o... |
421,658 | 2,248,099 | 100,881 | 4 | Sub standard , disappointing Fulci | I'm a big fan of Lucio Fulci ; many of his Giallo and splatter flicks are amongst my favourites of all time , but this made for TV movie is extremely sub par and not what I've come to expect from the great Italian director . The film is neither interesting , like some of Fulci's more tame Giallo's , or gory like the ma... |
422,948 | 2,248,099 | 87,555 | 4 | Kill an hour by doing something else ! | Since this film is a thriller directed by someone with an Italian sounding name , I was expecting something like an American version of Italy's finest export - the Giallo . The film certainly has elements that resemble the Giallo , but it constantly falls down as everything in the film is just so DULL . The plot opens ... |
421,874 | 2,248,099 | 70,368 | 4 | Dull and boring period horror | The Hand That Feeds the Dead apparently is often confused with a film called Lover of the Monster . That's not at all surprising ; they're both directed by Sergio Garrone , feature basically the same cast ( both headed by Klaus Kinski ) , both were released in 1974 , they both feature similar plots and even some of the... |
421,852 | 2,248,099 | 175,526 | 4 | Another rubbish slasher | Cherry Falls represents two of the slasher genre's key elements - sex and murder . The film often gets referred to as a ' spoof ' of the slasher tradition , but there isn't anything here to suggest that it's a spoof ( other than the humour , but that's a common part of the slasher ) . The reason why it gets labeled as ... |
422,289 | 2,248,099 | 74,342 | 4 | Mostly unsuccessful Italian thriller | I can only imagine that Death Rage was meant as some sort of cash in on the success of Yul Brynner's earlier movies because as a film in its own right , it really is severely lacking . This is actually quite a surprise too as it's directed by Antonio Margheriti who , while certainly in the ' B ' category of Italian dir... |
422,965 | 2,248,099 | 78,791 | 4 | Tedium reigns supreme in a house on the outskirts of Madrid | Spain will be remembered by many film fans for a lot of very good horror movies and thrillers ; but unfortunately many Spanish directors go overboard with the idea of ' slow burn ' and tedium becomes the end result - and that unfortunately is the case with this film . That House in the Outskirts takes slow burn to the ... |
422,290 | 2,248,099 | 74,473 | 4 | Porn nonsense from one of the sleaze masters | Ah , Italy . Back in the seventies ; if a certain type of film was successful , those crazy Italians would make their own version of it . The French Emmanuelle series must have been pretty popular , as it didn't take them long to knock a ' m ' out of the title and create their own version . This is my first Emanuelle f... |
422,771 | 2,248,099 | 74,478 | 4 | Emanuelle , this time in Bangkok | I often enjoy a spot of hardcore porn , and in spite of that and the fact that these films star the beautiful Laura Gemser ; I have to say that I'm not much of a fan of Emanuelle films . Emanuelle flicks tend to be very similar to one another , and this is yet another film with only a theme to differentiate it from the... |
423,669 | 2,248,099 | 74,479 | 4 | Laura Gemser on Taboo Island | Emmanuelle on Taboo Island has absolutely nothing to do with the Emanuelle series - it's just another attempt to pass a Laura Gemser film off as an Emanuelle film in order to sell it . I've got no problem with this in theory and indeed some of the ' fake ' Emanuelle films ( fake rip-offs of rip-offs could only be made ... |
422,951 | 2,248,099 | 70,039 | 4 | Boredom Rises from the Tomb | Paul Naschy made a great number of horror films . In terms of quality , they tend to range from fairly good to unwatchable trash ; and unfortunately , Horror Rises from the Tomb is closer to the latter . The plot is just your average story of a witch , wizard or ( as is the case here ) warlock , who is put to death - b... |
423,746 | 2,248,099 | 70,126 | 4 | Nonsensical garbage . . . . in a blue world | If there's one thing Spanish and Italian filmmakers in the seventies loved , it was making their own versions of popular American classics . Rip-offs of films such as Jaws , Dirty Harry and The Exorcist almost became genres in their own rights as so many films were made . Perhaps a less obvious to rip-off is Stanley Ku... |
422,052 | 2,248,099 | 74,423 | 4 | Tedious Italian thriller | I have to say , I'm really disappointed with this film . I'm a big fan of the Italian thriller known as the Giallo and while I went into this film knowing that it is not a Giallo ; I was still hoping that director Luigi Comencini would be able to make the film interesting enough to at least be entertaining . The plot p... |
421,894 | 2,248,099 | 477,347 | 4 | Somewhat amusing , but mostly a letdown . | I figured this film might be amusing after seeing the trailer , and while it has it's moments , overall I'd have to say that Night at the Museum reminded me far too much of that other poor kids film about inanimate objects coming to life , The Indian in the Cupboard . The film gets off to a good start , as we are intro... |
422,972 | 2,248,099 | 122,037 | 4 | The Dead Pit is a dead-loss | I certainly consider myself a fan of eighties horror , zombie flicks and low budget films ; and so I figured that put me in good stead to see The Dead Pit ; a low budget eighties zombie film - but alas , due to a complete lack of originality and overall poor execution , this film is more boring than your average cult s... |
421,992 | 2,248,099 | 87,282 | 4 | Unsuccessful ' R Rated ' remake of the notorious 1973 rougie | This film by Jim Sotos ( the director of the surprisingly decent eighties slasher ' Sweet 16 ' ) is apparently a remake of the earlier infamous film of the same title by Shaun Costello and starring Harry Reems . Forced Entry was never meant to be a mainstream flick , but it would appear that Sotos was trying to turn it... |
422,642 | 2,248,099 | 60,434 | 4 | Headless frozen Nazi's | Frozen Dead is basically just a twist on the classic Frankenstein story ; except instead of a brilliant doctor trying to reanimate a corpse , we get a not so brilliant doctor continually trying and failing to bring the dead back to life . I have no problem with films like this ; in fact , I'd even say that this one was... |
422,754 | 2,248,099 | 74,611 | 4 | Dull ghost horror | If I had to describe The Haunting of Julia in one word , the word I would choose is ' boring ' . The film is of the slow build variety , but that isn't the problem in itself - the problem is that there is never enough going on to keep the audience wanting to see what happens next , and therefore the film does drag on f... |
