505,015 | 2,911,571 | 433,360 | 6 | decent enough independent horror thriller | This isn't top-notch horror but it still has some good creepy moments . A man & his wife relocate to a small cabin in the mountains after their young daughter is killed by an intruder . The wife is distraught ( understandably ) but when she gets out and about and starts taking photographs again , she begins to see thin... |
504,825 | 2,911,571 | 808,315 | 6 | I Know What You Did With The Ring Last Friday The 13th , in German | Dead in 3 Days is kind of a gumbo of several American films , with an Austrian setting , which at least makes it a little different . Plus , the kids are more ordinary and don't drive a Cadillac Escalade with rap music blasting , they get around in an old Toyota Land Cruiser that is a company car , borrowed from dad wh... |
504,815 | 2,911,571 | 75,921 | 6 | stop the music ! | The idea behind this isn't bad , that two wayward girls pick a house to move in on and pose as being lost , then take over and terrorize the owner . The accompanying music , though , sort of some good-time vaudeville type stuff that would be more appropriate for a kid's show or a comedy , goes on and on and on to the p... |
504,921 | 2,911,571 | 388,365 | 6 | Weird Beyond Belief | This is an utterly weird Italian film , in fact , weird beyond belief , since it's a mishmash of so many different things that don't fit together well , in some cases . But in some ways the incongruity actually works to its advantage . We have Broadway-like show tunes ( actually , only one ) and tap dancing and Argento... |
504,949 | 2,911,571 | 444,682 | 6 | entertaining thriller but not without a few flaws | The Reaping was actually better than what I expected , and I'm a sucker for any movie that takes in rural swampy areas . The small town of Haven ( Louisiana , I guess ) has been experiencing strange phenomena , the first of which being that the river has turned blood red . They enlist the help of former missionary Kath... |
504,413 | 2,911,571 | 204,676 | 6 | David Lynch visits the Twilight Zone | I did rather enjoy the beginning and the end of this film , but there's a part in the middle where it sort of lost its mood and theme , to a point . The idea is that there's a young girl who has come to babysit for a couple , and this appears to be somewhere on another planet . She's first welcomed by " Twelvetrees " (... |
505,263 | 2,911,571 | 142,906 | 6 | He changed from a man to a slobbering oyster | How can you not like a movie with dialog like that ? Terrified is a very low-budget movie that I know I saw on TV at least a couple times when I was a kid , and I'd all but forgotten it except , Rhino released it on a DVD called " Horrible Horrors " and I started watching it thinking it was something I'd never seen bef... |
505,105 | 2,911,571 | 59,161 | 6 | and to think that this once scared me . . . . | I remember this movie very well , because it was on late-night TV in Houston when I lived there as a teenager , and I was sitting for the neighbor's kids while they were out . I was probably 14-15 at the time and this scared me and for some reason stuck with me for years . Now , over 30 years later , thanks to ( or due... |
503,907 | 2,911,571 | 891,520 | 6 | Kind of middling Japanese horror | Carved is about a supposed " urban legend " , a woman with a slit for a mouth & a surgical mask & a long coat who kidnaps little children . It doesn't seem to matter if they've been bad or not , apparently . She doesn't care . When rumors circulate that the slit mouthed woman is back in town , 3 young boys hide in a pa... |
504,173 | 2,911,571 | 50,432 | 6 | Does it matter if it's matter or anti-matter ? | Planes are disappearing and crashing and just before , there are reports of a " UFO " . Well , the UFO squawks and turns out to be a giant bird made of " anti-matter " that is causing all this terror . The bird is a ridiculous puppet that looks like a turkey vulture ( at best approximation ) with a Mohawk . Egad . One ... |
503,885 | 2,911,571 | 374,900 | 6 | Silly little flick | I guess I don't really understand all the hoopla about this flick , having now watched it . It's not really bad but nothing much happens and the humor is pretty low-key , to say the least . Napolean is an alienated teenager living in Preston , Idaho , so you know right there nothing interesting will happen . He helps h... |
505,397 | 2,911,571 | 75,809 | 6 | kind of a classic , of sorts . . . dumb but entertaining | Don't expect edge-of-your-seat horror from " The Car " , but it's an entertaining 70's film with just enough going on to keep your interest . The acting is fairly terrible , especially Ronnie Cox , but no matter , just sit back & enjoy the ride . A big black car has appeared out of nowhere & is terrorizing the resident... |
505,274 | 2,911,571 | 63,090 | 6 | A delightful exercise in incompetent film making | What we have here is a failure to make a good film , but it's so chock full of junk that it's quite amusing , despite itself . We have wrestling women , one of whom has a relationship with a police detective that apparently is limited to her dressing room and ring-side , we have an orangutan that mysteriously changes i... |
504,132 | 2,911,571 | 59,215 | 6 | Beware of Botanical Garden tours | A group of tourists foolishly ( of course ) head for an island on a tour to see some botanical gardens presided over by loony scientist Baron Von Weser ( Cameron Mitchell ) . Had they seen some of his other movies they'd probably have left right away , but of course , they stay , and marvel over the specimens he has on... |
504,982 | 2,911,571 | 63,097 | 6 | The Incredible Shrinking Brain | This is one of the few last films that Boris Karloff made , these being the ones where his parts were filmed in L . A . and the rest in Mexico , which is interesting because this takes place in Europe somewhere , presumably Hungary or somewhere like that . Mexican actors and actresses do not look even vaguely European ... |
505,625 | 2,911,571 | 75,838 | 6 | Come Out Come Out , Whatever You Are | Yes , I know that's the tag line for the crummy new DeNiro " horror " movie , but it would be appropriate for this too , as little Rosalie and her ( mostly ) unseen friends play in the woods . This has a few chilling moments but kind of gets dragged down here & there by some amateurish acting . A new housekeeper / comp... |
504,431 | 2,911,571 | 68,542 | 6 | Cool to watch but hard to follow | Spaceships from a space-station have been disappearing , and where are they going ? There's something to do with a signal about Eolomea , but what IS that ? Well , it seems that Eolomea is sort of a planet , maybe , but is it real or myth ? Overall , this is a pretty cool film to watch and it has some great & interesti... |
504,532 | 2,911,571 | 68,505 | 6 | not the best of the Dracula lot , but still plenty enjoyable | Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee return in one of the many of the Hammer Dracula films , and this time they're in the early 70's in London . It seems one young man ( calling himself Johnny Alucard ) has taken the ashes of the fallen vampire back after Van Helsing seemingly killed him in the 1800's , and deposited them... |
504,792 | 2,911,571 | 68,504 | 6 | The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum | So this is a retitled " Dr . Tarr's Torture Dungeon " , eh ? Hmm , I tried to find it in my movie book but nothing seemed to match up with this . Anyway , in the tradition of great marketing ploys , this is touted on the box as being Monty Python directed by Fellini on acid . OK , there are some Python-esque moments bu... |
504,599 | 2,911,571 | 349,880 | 6 | good premise , flawed execution | A modern updating ( to say the least ) of Peter Pan , with Peter being a smart-ass punk , and the three children ( Wendy , John , and Michael ) being ethnic adoptees by the Darlings ( " we really have to stop adopting things " , says the husband ) . The idea that Neverland is just an old amusement park and that Tinkerb... |
504,756 | 2,911,571 | 85,824 | 6 | tired plot with many a few new twists | Panic Beats has a well worn plot of a man trying to scare his rich wife into the grave so he can collect an inheritance . But he has a mistress or two , both of whom are rather conniving , and there are a few twists that he didn't count on . This plays out in a fairly standard manner and is predictable up to a point , ... |
504,208 | 2,911,571 | 89,607 | 6 | not a black comedy | This is a film by Paul Morrissey who at one time or another has produced some fine and twisted black comedies , usually in cahoots with Andy Warhol , but this , well , I don't know what to say , really . It's about rival drug dealing gangs , one Brazilian and one Puerto Rican , and it's violent and bloody and it's over... |
505,335 | 2,911,571 | 384,833 | 6 | better than I expected but by no means great | I got this used , for cheap , so even though I'd passed it up a zillion times before I thought I'd give it a shot and it's not that bad , although I wouldn't venture to call it a masterpiece or anything . Genetically engineered snake heads is a good idea for a film , these things can live on dry land and in the water a... |
504,138 | 2,911,571 | 85,792 | 6 | fun for all the wrong reasons | Lando , an ex-con , is chosen by his uncle to fight the battle between good and evil . And Lando , in his jeans jacket , is the good guy . The bad guys consist of The Prince of Magic and his evil cohorts , of which there are apparently many . Lando and his family are set upon by these evil-doers at his home , and his y... |
504,110 | 2,911,571 | 280,012 | 6 | Belgian bilge | Of course , like any Troma offering , this is packaged to look absolutely tremendous , but while sometimes that's true , in this case maybe not . I will mention that there are TWO , count ' em , TWO , versions of this film on here , one on film ( the one I watched ) and one made by the Troma Team , on video , which I d... |
505,585 | 2,911,571 | 59,087 | 6 | A Psycho clone of sorts | I guess the ripping off of movies has taken place for a long time , and the phenomenon with many people trying to rip off " Scream " ( which , I think , is still going on over 10 years later ) is nothing new . Anyway this movie is a rip off of Psycho in many ways , but with plenty more dysfunction on display . The date... |
504,923 | 2,911,571 | 241,073 | 7 | Not bad but not terribly original | I've been watching a great deal of foreign horror movies lately , mostly Asian , and lately I've been on a " Korean " kick . I hate to say it but I think they're kind of stealing from the Japanese for the most part . At any rate , Whispering Corridors is good and effective , and well made , but not terribly original . ... |
504,697 | 2,911,571 | 66,104 | 7 | sort of a " two-fer " ? | I guess this is sort of a " two-fer " with Vampyros Lesbos , as they seem to share the same cast & the same music , or similar music , anyway . I have a soundtrack to Vampyros Lesbos that also mentions this movie , and it's groovy jazzy 60's kind of music that Franco seemed to like to have in a lot of these movies . Un... |
504,024 | 2,911,571 | 52,561 | 7 | decent courtroom drama with a cool soundtrack | Jimmy Stewart plays " humble country lawyer " Paul Biegler , who is hired to defend an army lieutenant , Ben Gazzara , who shoots a man who supposedly raped his wife . Gazzara plays his role as a carefully guarded man , who doesn't reveal too much about himself . Lee Remick plays his wife , a rather free spirit who lik... |
505,195 | 2,911,571 | 378,814 | 7 | Sundown ? Strange things happen ALL THE TIM | Hey now , this is definitely , without a doubt , one of the best Brain Damage movies I've seen , which may not be saying much as some of the others are so abysmal , but this one is cult material , in my book . One strange thing is that sundown shouldn't matter much , because these vampires have no problem hanging out i... |
504,445 | 2,911,571 | 378,808 | 7 | Surprisingly unstinky | Hey now , I found this at the local trade-in store for $5 . 00 so with a title like that I figured I had a 50-50 shot at getting something decent yet not " mainstream " . It's on Tempe Video , which from my past history is a pretty hit or miss label , with emphasis on the " miss " . However , this is more of a hit but ... |
505,028 | 2,911,571 | 167,413 | 7 | Creepy and disturbing and rather restrained | This is a very restrained film , for Dead Alive productions , that is , not that it's not a low budget film like most of their offerings , but it doesn't feature amateur-hour gore and acting and effects like most of the stuff they seem to churn out . I thought this company had gone defunct , and perhaps they have , I b... |
504,221 | 2,911,571 | 70,458 | 7 | Failed TV pilot is still above-average thriller by Dan Curtis | Roy Thinnes stars in this made-for-TV pilot as David Norliss , a supernatural investigator ( and apparently a man of many talents ) who is trying to write a book and who is feeling a bit stuck . Maybe that's due to his recent experience with the supernatural and the fact that the book he was writing was intended to deb... |
505,285 | 2,911,571 | 66,160 | 7 | entertaining werewolf / vampire flick | This is an entertaining werewolf / vampire flick , starring everyone's favorite Spaniard , Jacinto Molina , as Count Waldemar Daninsky . As usual , young damsels in distress come across him living in an old monastery , and choose to hang out with him , only to be there when an ancient vampire woman is released from her... |
504,823 | 2,911,571 | 95,728 | 7 | strange & obscure Italian horror from the late 80's deserves a look | Professor Alan Whitmore has been sent to Hungary to collaborate with a professor there on some special project involving an ancient cult , or some such thing . While there he finds the professor has had a nervous breakdown & says strange things . Before he knows it , Whitmore has been " sucked into the vortex " of odd ... |
504,574 | 2,911,571 | 65,143 | 7 | good thriller minus all the gore ( which came later ) | Bird With The Crystal Plumage is Argento's first directorial effort , and it's a good one , if not quite as good as some of what came later . An American ( Tony Musante ) sees a scuffle in a closed art gallery & tries to help when he realizes that one of the people has a knife . The woman he sees is wounded , and he fi... |
505,058 | 2,911,571 | 91,380 | 7 | Steckler's gardener strikes again | I read somewhere that Pierre D'Agostino was actually Ray Dennis Steckler's gardener who he put in two of his films , " The Hollywood Strangler . . " and this one . So fine are his acting skills , you'd never think he was just a humble gardener . Yeah , right . Anyway , this is the follow up to " The Hollywood Strangler... |
504,314 | 2,911,571 | 66,115 | 7 | one of the weirdest movies Hollywood has spewed out . . . . | I guess this movie didn't do too well when it came out and for 1970 the subject matter wasn't quite as acceptable as it is nowadays . Anyway this is the story of Myron Breckinridge , who undergoes a sex change in Copenhagen & becomes Myra . Now , Myron / Myra is / was the nephew of a famous acting school owner ( as pla... |
503,933 | 2,911,571 | 260,303 | 7 | enjoyable Ramsay Brothers effort | Purana Haveli , involves , of course , an old mansion , a hairy beast locked away in the basement , and a bunch of spiteful and back-stabbing rich folks visiting for a lark . And you know , of course , that the hairy beast thing will get OUT , that's a given . The story involves a young woman getting involved with a " ... |
505,259 | 2,911,571 | 493,464 | 7 | entertaining stuff | I got a few good laughs out of " Wanted " , which is based on a comic book and directed by Timur Bekmambetov , of " Nightwatch " and " Daywatch " fame . This is the tale of one Wesley Gibson , who has an accounting job , and whose best friend is sleeping with his girlfriend , and whose boss is a control-freak bitch , e... |
504,553 | 2,911,571 | 416,236 | 7 | Well done , a bit scary for small kids , but ultimately not very memorable | Spiderwick Chronicles involves a family moving into an old house somewhere in New England , and the house belonged to one Arthur Spiderwick . It seems that Mr . Spiderwick wrote a book about fairies , goblins , and such , that he called a field guide , but in doing so he placed himself ( and his young daughter ) in dan... |
504,664 | 2,911,571 | 118,739 | 7 | stupidly funny low-budget post-holocaust extravaganza | I was expecting to be disappointed after watching this but no , this is good stupid fun . Low-budget , filmed on Super 8 , but still plenty entertaining for what it is . Slangman is a guy who survives by his wits , and his dictionary , and he wanders the wastelands of post-holocaust earth . Seems that mankind did so we... |
503,975 | 2,911,571 | 281,810 | 7 | a strange thriller | Here's a strange little thriller as an ex-heroin addict leaves NYC for the Cape Cod community of Atwater Commons to attend some kind of seminar on serial killer profiling ? Or something like that . Seems Atwater Commons is quite proud of their curmudgeonly resident author who wrote a book called " Dirt Boy " about a se... |
504,180 | 2,911,571 | 70,593 | 7 | Weird little mix of heist film & horror | Crimson begins with some cool jazzy music so I liked it immediately , but as the film wore on I began to wonder if the music wasn't the best part . We have some thieves pulling a jewel heist and when one does something wrong the alarm is triggered and the cops chase them and when the car turns around at a road block on... |
504,308 | 2,911,571 | 61,409 | 7 | were ' Krimis ' meant to be taken seriously ? | I had seen both " The Bloody Dead " and " Creature with the Blue Hand " on VHS until I bought the DVD that has both versions , and I have to say that I enjoyed them although I can't imagine how exactly they were intended to be taken . Here we have a young man who has escaped a nasty asylum and manages to get home ( fou... |
505,054 | 2,911,571 | 61,408 | 7 | My first " non-horror " exploration of Herschell Gordon Lewis is a blast . . . . | I've never watched any of H . G . Lewis's non-horror films until this one and I have to say that while it's not exactly a great film , it's a good one and entertaining , to be sure . A sleazy promoter takes a band that isn't doing so good under his wing and makes them stars , at least , sort of , and yet he's keeping t... |
503,992 | 2,911,571 | 95,583 | 7 | somewhat enjoyable but runs out of steam before the end | This begins much better than it ends , I mean , when this mysterious cop begins killing people on the streets of New York and is always shown in shadow , now THAT'S cool . When we find out what's going on and why and what he looks like , well , that's a letdown . Anyway , that is what's happening , a man dressed like a... |
503,906 | 2,911,571 | 405,024 | 7 | Bollywood remake of " The Others " is not bad | The Others is a good film , and this remake ( or re-imagining ) is not bad . The storyline follows the original film fairly closely but in a different setting , and there are a couple differences from this and the original . I enjoyed the original , and this is well done also , so I have no real complaints . The stor... |
504,007 | 2,911,571 | 225,499 | 7 | Super-8 punk rock fun from the early 80's | This is by no means a well-made film , nor does it have good production values , but it does have a raw energy to it and a sense of fun that sort of negates its flaws . Some young girls are out to form a rock and roll band called The Love Dolls . Along the way they meet up with a disapproving mom , rival punks , a slea... |
505,229 | 2,911,571 | 66,349 | 7 | Bizarre ? Well , yes it is , thanks for asking . . . . . | Bizarre , the American title for ' Secrets of Sex ' , is presented now on DVD for your viewing pleasure , and it's kind of like an R-rated " Love , American Style " on acid . With quite a few themes that THAT old show wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole . Plus , it's narrated by a mummy . This has several short episodes... |
504,830 | 2,911,571 | 365,376 | 7 | OK , so what's real and what's NOT ? ( minor spoilers ) | This is a decent Korean horror film about ghosts and mental illness , I guess , and it leaves you wondering who's really the sick one . After staying in an institution two young girls return home and are faced with their wicked stepmother and strange father . You have to wonder what's going on because the mother refers... |
505,179 | 2,911,571 | 87,759 | 7 | oh come on , it ' s not THAT bad . . . . . | Murder Rock ( AKA Dancing Death , Slashdance ) is not one of Lucio Fulci's best films but it's not THAT bad . Granted , there's about 15 excruciating minutes at the beginning that you'll wonder what on earth he was thinking , with lots of 80's dance routines type stuff that will have you yearning for maggot-infested zo... |
505,592 | 2,911,571 | 497,408 | 7 | Guess Who's Coming To Dinner ? | Marcus is a fairly creepy little flick that takes place at Christmas time , and no one will feel in a festive mood while watching nor afterward , believe me . Brooke was apparently planning a Christmas get-together for her estranged family & friends , and one thing she didn't count on was Marcus . And who the hell IS M... |
504,402 | 2,911,571 | 105,378 | 7 | Mack the Knife ? | To be perfectly honest I was a bit disappointed in this film , which I've wanted to see for years . It does pretty well at capturing the look of an early 1900's picture , but most of the dialog is typical Allen . Which is not to say that either of those things were bad points , it's just that this is sort of over with ... |
504,293 | 2,911,571 | 83,934 | 7 | What's Up Tiger Lily ? kicked up a few notches on the " crude-o-meter " | What we have here is an Indonesian wrestling women / crime drama film dubbed over by some goofy guys into an " R " rated " What's Up , Tiger Lily ? " sort of film , and it mostly works . Seems that there's a young woman that must obtain money for her young brother's operation and she gets involved with seedy elements t... |
504,812 | 2,911,571 | 325,534 | 7 | getting pregnant from the internet ? | A very strange and eerie Korean film , this one . Women who find a website associated with a women's hospital die in two weeks but not before they seemingly become pregnant . One woman is a news reporter who is pregnant ( maybe ) by her boyfriend who works on the same new show as she , and the scandal this creates lead... |
505,308 | 2,911,571 | 348,008 | 7 | low budget mix of horror and action mostly works | Here's a strange tale owing a bit to David Cronenberg ( especially Videodrome ) , David Lynch ( especially Blue Velvet with a tad of Lost Highway ) and perhaps a couple other influences I couldn't put my finger on . A strange young man ( Noble ) lives in a seedy hotel in a incongruously cheery room ( daisy wallpaper ) ... |
503,993 | 2,911,571 | 70,222 | 7 | watch out for the babes in the Foster Grants | This is a fun , if rather silly and improbable movie , about some women in a small California community who are , for some strange reason , becoming human bees , maybe in spirit because they still look like women , for the most part , except their eyes , which are completely black . And they hum when they have sex . Wh... |
504,519 | 2,911,571 | 470,419 | 7 | Not a film to watch before , during , or after eating | Last Supper is about a plastic surgeon who develops a taste for human flesh , most notably , that of young women . You see him putting oil on one young lady who is seated in his living room and telling her that he wants to eat her , and she says , " you may eat me " . Little does she expect his comment is something o... |

And how respectable is " Straight Jacket " ? Well , all I can say is that I was never a big fan although I do own Straight Jacket , Whatever Happened to Baby Jane , and the very strange Johnny Gui... |
504,833 | 2,911,571 | 78,062 | 7 | Kind of makes you think . . . . . | Finally this is out on DVD ( under the name Clonus ) . I've been wanting to see this film for years & yet not willing to pay the outrageous prices for the long-out-of-print tape . Contrary to its reputation , I didn't find this to be a lousy film , but I actually rather liked it . Seems that a group of young people who... |
505,555 | 2,911,571 | 65,436 | 7 | interesting , but is there some deep meaning ? | A bunch of dwarfs , who are institutionalized ( probably in some kind of asylum ) , rise up against the President ( Pepe Hermine ) and raise a little hell , so to speak . This appears to have been filmed in South America somewhere , and in a fairly desolate area . There's a compound in which there are plants and animal... |
504,270 | 2,911,571 | 74,222 | 7 | cheesy low budget horror comedy is kind of fun | From the director of Bloodsucking Freaks , " Blood Bath " is fairly bloodless and not straight horror , but rather a sort of cheesy horror comedy along the lines of movies like Deadtime Stories and such . This is a horror anthology with a wrap-around of actors having a dinner after working on a play together and they a... |
505,393 | 2,911,571 | 91,464 | 7 | Low-key Aussie comedy is well worth seeing | Malcolm is a mildly retarded young man who is fired from his job at the tram yard for making his own tram from spare parts , etc . I guess the " building it " part wouldn't have been so bad , but he took it out on the tracks & rode it around . Anyway , Malcolm makes up for his other shortcomings by being something of a... |
505,107 | 2,911,571 | 65,483 | 7 | Andy Milligan's best | I guess one could say this is Milligan's best film because it's more technically competent , which is a big step up from some of the earlier films of his that I've seen . The camera holds still , the actors can almost act , and it's got more or less of a story line , however confusing it may be . A young couple get a v... |
504,284 | 2,911,571 | 66,546 | 7 | now here's a man who knows how to show when he's had enough | This is my first Fassbinder film , and I had read about it and didn't even know it was out on DVD so when I saw it , I snagged it immediately . Being somewhat familiar with the works of Lars Von Trier and also familiar with Harmony Korine ( who employs Von Trier's Dogma 95 style ) I wasn't put off by the style of this ... |
504,448 | 2,911,571 | 365,478 | 7 | Not exactly screaming | I am disappointed . This is nowhere near as funny or weird as I expected and I certainly would expect better from Bruce Campbell . This is a tale that takes place in Bulgaria , why there I don't know , but it does . Campbell plays an " ugly American " type that comes with his wife on a business trip . In many ways he r... |
504,600 | 2,911,571 | 273,228 | 7 | chilling thriller | This is a good little low-budget thriller filmed in ( I think ) Georgia , or so I think from a car license plate . It begins rather abruptly the the sharp swing of a baseball bat and there's no time to build up to what caused that , it's just there . Through flashbacks we find out the woman that was just killed ( by he... |
505,622 | 2,911,571 | 61,140 | 7 | Buried treasure | OK , this isn't exactly buried treasure , but it's a fun little movie that's reminiscent of Blood Feast , and other such films , but it's more played for ( intentional ) laughs than Blood Feast . Seems like there's this motorcycle gang , two of whom are restaurant owners and one who's the local undertaker , who drum up... |
504,200 | 2,911,571 | 83,739 | 7 | Teenage Head ? | It's been a long time since I last saw this and I don't remember the band Teenage Head being in it , it's not quite the nihilistic sort of band I'd expect but maybe Fear wasn't available for the concert scenes ? But anyway , now Class of 1984 is available on DVD for your viewing pleasure and it's about school kids out ... |
504,352 | 2,911,571 | 91,836 | 7 | Wow | Reform School Girls is a movie that screams " 80's " when you watch it , so if you like that kind of stuff you'll find something to enjoy in this . Now , Wendy O . Williams may have been a lot of things in her life but she was never overdressed . This is the woman who fronted the Plasmatics , and whose idea of a " cute... |
504,035 | 2,911,571 | 1,014,693 | 7 | Interesting Japanese anthology | Zoo is several tales of the macabre , for want of a better description , and is at times quite good and others merely adequate . In the first story twin sisters who are treated very differently by their mother switch places with interesting results . In another segment a group of people are held in windowless chambers ... |
504,239 | 2,911,571 | 83,146 | 7 | above-average 80's slasher , now on DVD ! | Just for the record , the Code Red DVD contains the original theatrical version , plus the director's cut . The director's cut , however , is kind of " warts and all " , being that it was pieced together from various source materials & " is not up to the usual quality " of Code Red , but still , it's watchable . To be ... |
504,904 | 2,911,571 | 91,781 | 7 | Not so much a " movie " as a visual treat | I had the opportunity to see The Screamers at some forgotten venue in San Franciso almost 30 years ago ( with Tuxedomoon & the Units ) and remember it being one of the strangest shows I've ever been to . Since the Screamers never released a record ( at least , officially ) , I have a hard time remembering their music ,... |
504,706 | 2,911,571 | 369,516 | 7 | film is derivative but still enjoyable | Hawa is sort of a combination of " The Entity " and " Poltergeist " with an Indian flair to it . A young woman moves with her daughters & her brother to a bungalow in a remote area ( after divorcing her husband ) and finds that there's strange things going on there after some kind of lightning strike nearby the house .... |
505,467 | 2,911,571 | 65,616 | 7 | Written but not directed by Roman Polanski | Bernard is a drunk and an accomplished sponger , who takes a young girl , Winnie , on a trip to the seashore one day in the rain . The girl may be his daughter , with his ex-wife remarried , but she may also be his niece and she does call him " uncle " . It's a bit hard to say . At any rate , poor Winnie has leg irons ... |
505,326 | 2,911,571 | 69,986 | 7 | marvelous crap | I read somewhere where this marvelous Z-grade Ted V . Mikel's film was the ' inspiration ' for " Charlie's Angels " , and if so , I guess someone was really desperate . This is a fun cheesy exploitation flick but not exactly inspirational . A space shot gets blown up after lift-off and there was a threat that had gone ... |
504,359 | 2,911,571 | 454,864 | 7 | strange , bleak , and eerie | When I got this I sort of cringed , because I don't care much for Ron Perlman , but while he plays his usual " human bulldozer " type , he was at least tolerable in this . Pollack ( Perlman ) is a rough , gruff , oilman , apparently the boss-man of this particular Alaska site . There is a crew there to check the feasib... |
504,655 | 2,911,571 | 408,976 | 7 | OK horror / thriller , but somewhat derivative | Krishna Cottage looks good , and is well done technically , but the story is , in part , based on Ringu , except the twist is that we have a creepy book that's making the rounds cursing people instead of a video-tape . Now Manav , has a new admirer in Disha , although Manav already HAS a girlfriend ( Shanti ) . But Dis... |
505,062 | 2,911,571 | 64,617 | 7 | Forgive them . Forgive them . For . . . . ? | Mad Room is a odd little late 60's thriller that seems to be incredibly obscure . I might put it in somewhat the same category as " The Big Cube " because while it has recognizable stars it wasn't made in the US & it has an odd feel to it . Mandy and George , who were four and six years old , spent 12 years in a nut-ho... |
505,418 | 2,911,571 | 364,569 | 7 | Decent but somewhat confusing | I found this to be a decent enough Korean suspense / revenge flick , but I can't say I was able to follow some of it because I just got too lost . Oh Dae-Su is a sort of normal Korean guy , with a wife and kid , and you see him at the police station where he's been detained for public drunkenness or something . He is p... |
504,787 | 2,911,571 | 69,952 | 7 | you're a successful advertising executive ? ? ! ! ha ha ha ha haha . . . | This is some film , let me tell you . First off , it's directed / produced by Doris Wishman , of whom it was said , directed movies like she'd never seen one . . . as in , focusing on floors , walls , ashtrays , etc . instead of the person talking , so she didn't have to take too many pains with the dialog after . And ... |
504,998 | 2,911,571 | 65,660 | 7 | wonderfully incoherent | Take Frankenstein , Dracula , a werewolf , and put them into the hands of Jesus Franco and ta-dah , you have his wonderfully incoherent take on all of those legends with twists that only he could add . Now , don't get me wrong , I didn't think this was terrible , but it's certainly not what I'd call a traditional rende... |
505,552 | 2,911,571 | 276,935 | 7 | short , weird , and noisy | I was surprised I'd actually seen one other movie by this director and it was " Angel Dust " which is quite unlike this one in every way . That one is more a thriller / mystery , quite creepy , this one is a " wham bam thank you ma'am " sort of comic book adventure , along the lines of Tetsuo meets Guitar Wolf or somet... |
505,506 | 2,911,571 | 470,705 | 7 | worthwhile if not for everyone | Here's a creepy little chiller / thriller by William Friedkin , the guy that did The Exorcist over 30 years ago . Ashley Judd plays a young waitress , holed up in some fleabag hotel in Oklahoma , who's trying to stay away from her ex-con husband and still grieving ( after years ) her young son , who mysteriously disapp... |
504,809 | 2,911,571 | 197,633 | 7 | not as freaky as expected | Instead of a evil gruesome comedy this is more juvenile than anything , unfortunately . This is a " claymation " recreation of the Charles Manson " legend " , for want of a better word , and of course doesn't use real names , for fear of a law suit ? I was at one point put in mind of a twisted version of Davey & Goliat... |
504,793 | 2,911,571 | 286,594 | 7 | Oozing with creepy goodness | I was pleasantly surprised how good this was , since the box said it was a cross between " Silence of the Lambs " and " Scanners " ( ? ? ! ) . It does have a few elements of both , perhaps , but is nothing like either . A hypnotist who suffers from visions tries to help a little girl that was kidnapped by a serial kill... |
505,137 | 2,911,571 | 167,752 | 7 | not a bad little thriller | Juliette Lewis plays a young woman who has inherited an apartment from her aunt , a nice apartment in the requisite creepy old building with the requisite creepy old neighbors . Her boyfriend , weatherman Greg ( William Hurt ) isn't particularly happy she chose to do that instead of moving in with him , but she's prett... |
504,506 | 2,911,571 | 64,691 | 7 | A western dressed in sci-fi clothing , but a good one . . . . | I had never even HEARD of this film before it was released on DVD with " When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth " . This film begins with a jazzy theme song and animated opening credits which make it seem like it might be a comedy of sorts , but no , really it's a western dressed up in sci-fi clothing . It seems that one Bill ... |
504,628 | 2,911,571 | 197,857 | 7 | ( School ) Girls in Chains , now on DVD from Code Red | Frank & John live in a great big house in the middle of nowhere with their domineering mother , and they bring home girls to keep in the basement , mainly for John , who is a bit simple-minded ( to say the least ) to play with . Of course , John likes to play games with the girls , but he likes to play doctor , and the... |
504,926 | 2,911,571 | 236,638 | 7 | A creepy French flick ? Yes , really . . . . . . | How many French horror movies have YOU watched lately ? I have a few myself , not many though because I guess there's just not very many that have been released , at least that I know about . Zombie Lake comes to mind as one of the funniest unintentional comedies I've ever seen in my life , and there's a few films by J... |
505,430 | 2,911,571 | 78,806 | 7 | good , interesting , but probably too long and slow for many | Carrie Snodgrass plays Witchita librarian Louise , who has worked at the library for 19 years , ever since her fiancée disappeared the day of their wedding . His disappearance was never solved and Louise has led a drab life , working at the library and taking care of her invalid father ( Ray Milland ) . Now the time is... |
504,776 | 2,911,571 | 435,678 | 7 | ultra-high squirm factor | Katiebird takes a while to get going but when it does you will be squirming and cringing in your seat . It's right up there with " Scrapbook " for utterly uncomfortable viewing . While the director shows great promise there's some things about this that bugged me though and one is the music which is rather overpoweri... |
505,486 | 2,911,571 | 57,082 | 7 | interesting but rather odd for its time | Pyro is the story of an engineer , who has moved to Spain with his family to work on a project . While there he finds a house that he buys from a woman who seems rather taken with setting things on fire . He buys the house & the family moves in , but he's got the side thing going on with the firebug , and she eventuall... |
504,332 | 2,911,571 | 450,827 | 7 | Ding dong bell , Santa's in a well . . . . . | The Christmas Tale takes place somewhere in Spain in 1985 , and comes off as somewhat of a tribute to many films of the time , like " Goonies " , " Stand By Me " , " Karate Kid " and maybe even " The Pit " , with a dash of " V " perhaps . Some children find a person in a Santa Claus suit at the bottom of an old well ... |
504,850 | 2,911,571 | 70,039 | 7 | better than the usual Naschy fare | Don't get me wrong , I like the films of Paul Naschy ( Jacinto Molina ) but they can't by any means be called " good " . This one is a bit of a step up from the usual fake fur and shoe polish werewolf stuff he seems to be so fond of , and it's about an evil man and his evil assistant who were killed back in olden times... |
504,354 | 2,911,571 | 289,944 | 7 | weird journey into Lynch territory | This is a very strange , eerie movie about a Wisconsin security guard who is obsessed with finding the killer of his wife . His wife was mysteriously killed by a man at the mall where he works . His obsession leads to watching surveillance tapes over and over again looking for clues and piecing them together . He asks ... |
504,924 | 2,911,571 | 82,966 | 7 | Still creepy after all these years | It's been a while since I've seen this and I watched it again last night , and it still works for me after all these years since I've last seen it . A couple and their small child move to New England ( Boston area ) from New Yawk , and move into a house that has seemingly been a problem to rent , at least to those that... |
504,198 | 2,911,571 | 60,893 | 7 | Decent Hammer / Seven Arts thriller | A young couple move to a small village after the husband inherits a cottage from his deceased brother . It seems an idyllic place , but there have been some mysterious deaths there lately , including the brother , and they all seem to have something to do with a local doctor , who seems rather strange , especially when... |
504,561 | 2,911,571 | 47,136 | 7 | A strange western | OK , I'm not entirely dense but if this film is meant to be some kind of allegory or satire that was all lost on me . It's a western , and a strange western , to be sure , because the main protagonists are women ( Joan Crawford & Mercedes McCambridge ) . It's all beautifully filmed in saturated colors , and has lots of... |
