504,595 | 2,911,571 | 64,726 | 7 | decent 60's exploitation / horror flick | In looking at the director for this film , he has some rather impressive ( ? ) credentials , also being the director of " Creature from Black Lake " and " The Brain Machine " . OK , well maybe NOT so impressive to people that don't care much for cheesy psychotronic films . Anyway , I like " NOBH " with Gerald McRaney (... |
505,446 | 2,911,571 | 74,593 | 7 | a dry land " Jaws " | OK , if " Abby " got pulled from theaters and banned for being a " Exorcist " rip off , how come " Grizzly " didn't get pulled for being a " Jaws " rip off ? Had that not happened maybe Abby would be readily available on a decent label for your viewing pleasure on DVD now . Like Grizzly is . However , Grizzly is nowher... |
504,109 | 2,911,571 | 64,828 | 7 | what am I to make of this ? | This is my first Pasolini film and if I am to believe one reviewer , Water Bearer Films has screwed up the sequence of reels but while I wondered about the reel change showing up on the screen , you couldn't prove it by me . Since it seems to be rather tough to figure out what exactly the purpose of this film is anyway... |
503,990 | 2,911,571 | 65,826 | 7 | biker / Nazi / spy / pseudo-psychedelic drive in trash FUN | I'm not sure why I'm drawn to the films of Al Adamson but they always leave me a bit tired out , because they're so full of stuff and a wild mix of genres slapped together that they're super hard to follow and yet they have a certain charm . Maybe in some ways it's the music , I don't know . This one is about bikers wh... |
504,908 | 2,911,571 | 237,045 | 7 | pretty nasty for the time it was made | Assault ! Jack the Ripper , is a violent " pinku " film , made in the mid-70's , and pretty much wipes the floor with any American horror made around the same time . It was a bit ahead of its time , I'd say . A surly waitress sort of befriends ( or dominates ) an introverted pastry chef at the restaurant where they wor... |
503,967 | 2,911,571 | 78,437 | 7 | Just a warm-up to Cannibal Holocaust | It was interesting to see Ruggero Deodato in the introduction to this film because he certainly doesn't look like someone that would put out the gut-churning films that he does . It was also interesting to hear that he was very much against the scenes of animals being killed and they were more or less inserted into the... |
504,220 | 2,911,571 | 65,852 | 7 | absolutely stunning . . . . . . | Not familiar with Al Adamson ? Well , I guess you could say one should never expect too much from his movies , except that they always seem to be rather . . . interesting ? Bad ? Incompetent ? Yeah . . . something like that . Horror of the Blood Monsters , AKA Vampire Men of the Lost Planet , and probably other titles ... |
505,106 | 2,911,571 | 416,315 | 7 | better than average but not great | Wolf Creek begins very promisingly as 2 girls and a guy head off to spend some time at a remote reserve called Wolf Creek . . . . seemingly it's the world's largest meteor crater and it's absolutely beautiful . . . . and remote . As they go to leave , their car won't start so they're settling down for the night and alo... |
504,133 | 2,911,571 | 64,888 | 7 | Now on DVD , but does this deserve the " Elvira " treatment ? | What was anyone thinking when it was decided that " La Residencia " ( The House that Screamed ) should be put out as part of Elvira's " Movie Macabre " series , complete with her comments ? Luckily , the film can be watched without Elvira's patter , but still , it's been edited to allow for those little touches of her ... |
505,645 | 2,911,571 | 69,715 | 7 | garden-variety family curse flick | This is an OK Hammer-wannabe , from Amicus studios , which concerns the fate of a young woman who marries into the cursed Fengriffen clan , and finds that her new home doesn't exactly suit her needs , what with disembodied hands crawling about and eyeless apparitions at the windows and such . Now , it seems like there'... |
505,140 | 2,911,571 | 64,939 | 7 | actually quite good , as bad biker flicks go . . . | In the intro to this Sam Sherman , who was one of Al Adamson's buddies and partners , calls " Satan's Sadists " the " Citizen Kane " of biker movies , and I wouldn't go so far as to call it that , but this is higher than usual quality Al Adamson stuff , maybe because it was shot in 10 days with no splice-and-dice and w... |
505,593 | 2,911,571 | 69,820 | 7 | Low key early 70's werewolf flick is kind of fun | OK , there's not a lot of scares in The Boy Who Cried Werewolf , but it is fairly entertaining & not a bad entry in the early 70's low budget horror arena . A man ( Kerwin Matthews ) is camping with his son in the mountains when they are attacked by a werewolf , and in trying to save his son , the man is bitten himself... |
505,104 | 2,911,571 | 175,142 | 7 | Good dumb fun | OK , this is a parody of " Scream " and " I Know What you Did Last Summer " ( not to mention anything else that got in the way ) but I saw Scream a long time ago and frankly didn't care for it . So dragging it through the mud suits me just fine . Of course the Wayans brothers are behind this so you know it's going to b... |
504,544 | 2,911,571 | 74,737 | 7 | strange little Canadian film from the 70's is not all bad | This film is often slammed and it's definitely not at the top of Christopher Lee's best films , but it's got a certain charm to it and it is nowhere near as bad as some people make it out to be . Seems that Lee plays " Keeper " , a man who has found that he can collect the inheritances of his patients as long as he's m... |
504,461 | 2,911,571 | 397,101 | 7 | If you don't believe it can't hurt you . | I'm a sucker for any movie set in swamp land , where it's dark and gloomy and strange stuff that only certain folks understand goes on . And there's a lot of that in this . There's a good build up as a young woman ( Kate Hudson ) takes a job as a care-giver to an old man that is paralyzed from a stroke , and finds the ... |
505,324 | 2,911,571 | 52,948 | 7 | Pat Boone sings ? ? | I guess for its time this was a spectacle to behold , and the wonders of special effects wowed the audience way back then , but now the special effects are pretty tepid and while some of the scenes are pretty good overall it's not that great . Minus a couple points for musical interludes , especially the one in which P... |
504,747 | 2,911,571 | 144,555 | 7 | Kerschplatten galore | I'll start out by saying that I like this flick , not because it's necessarily great but because it's just so jaw-dropping weird . It's a little hard to know how to take this all when you see pseudo-historical type footage , like that of Jesus being crucified , and folks wandering the German forests during the black pl... |
505,088 | 2,911,571 | 83,296 | 7 | OK 80's film could have used a bit of editing | I've had this on VHS for years , purchased probably 15 years ago at the Wherehouse in Calfonia , and now I have it on DVD , and I guess it's been a while since I watched it . This is an OK film but it's also too long for what it is , I guess time was needed for character development or something ? Yeah , right . Michae... |
504,175 | 2,911,571 | 64,902 | 7 | The first " Sex-Horror " film ? Well , not really , but still interesting | Blood Rose is sort of a remake of " Yeux Sans Visage " ( Eyes Without a Face ) . The story is that of a man who has married the woman of his dreams only to have her horribly burned and scarred and then finds a former doctor to restore her . Howard Vernon plays the part of the former doctor who went to prison for his at... |
504,650 | 2,911,571 | 74,671 | 7 | someone was dipping into the stardust | There's not a lot of East German sci-fi floating around but I got this as part of a box set from First Run Features , and I've not been disappointed with the quality of the films nor the content . This is a rather interesting ( and amusing ) tale of a spaceship that goes to a planet to investigate a call for help , onl... |
505,578 | 2,911,571 | 113,429 | 7 | strange and sterile | Visually this is a rather strange mix of David Lynch , Guy Maddin , and who knows what all else . Story-wise , it's a tale of a man who goes to a school ( Instituta Benjamina ) to learn how to be a servant because he's not expecting much out of life . And beyond that , you've got me . The school is run by a brother and... |
504,454 | 2,911,571 | 52,888 | 7 | OK , as hideous sun demon movies go . . . . | This is yet another 50's " radiation monster " movie , this time as a hung-over scientist accidentally exposes himself to a substance in a rail car and ends up in the hospital . He doesn't have any radiation burns or other symptoms of radiation poisoning though , but he does turn in to a rubber-suited monster when expo... |
504,748 | 2,911,571 | 95,871 | 7 | Decent psychological horror flick | I read the book Pin by Andrew Niederman many years ago and i have to say this is a pretty decent adaptation of the book . Pin ( short for Pinocchio ) is a plastic dummy , one of those " see through " ones with all the internal organs showing , that universities and such have . Pin talks to Ursula and Leon when they're ... |
505,373 | 2,911,571 | 481,452 | 7 | Decent enough adaptations of King's short stories | I can't believe I watched the whole thing . . . but of course , I didn't do it in one setting . First is one of the best stories of the lot , which is " Battleground " , with William Hurt as the main character , in which he's a hit-man besieged by toy soldiers after he's whacked a toy magnate . I was surprised how well... |
505,570 | 2,911,571 | 420,294 | 7 | decent prequel is better than the remake | The remake of TCM from 3 years ago took modern teens and tried to pass them off as teens of the 70's and that just didn't work , it was too forced and just not very believable . This film seems to have toned down that part a bit as we have 4 teens ; 2 young men going to Viet Nam and their girlfriends , driving across T... |
505,712 | 2,911,571 | 827,498 | 7 | eerie stop-motion fairy tale | Blood Tea and Red String is an eerie stop-motion animation fairy tale of the battle between aristocratic white mice and strange little forest creatures over a doll . The white mice have commissioned the strange little forest creatures ( who look rather like mice with fox ears and bird beaks ) to make a doll for them , ... |
505,707 | 2,911,571 | 91,969 | 7 | I was not aware of the history behind this film ( which is now on DVD ! ) | I have seen Slaughter High several times over the years , and always found it was an enjoyable slasher flick with an odd sense of humor , but I never knew that it was filmed in the UK , and I never knew that the actor that plays Marty Rantzen ( Simon Scuddamore ) committed suicide after the film was released . I guess ... |
504,426 | 2,911,571 | 69,838 | 7 | creepy and disturbing stuff | This is a pretty good early 70's Euro-Trash Horror flick , wherein a young man ( John ) is released from a nut house after he supposedly tried to rape his cousin , and he's released to go live with his aunt and her three daughters , one of whom was supposedly his intended target . But he's not exactly approaching this ... |
504,813 | 2,911,571 | 104,779 | 7 | overly long but not without its merits | In Bitter Moon , a young British couple meets an American with a French wife on a cruise . The husband ( Peter Coyote ) takes the British husband ( Hugh Grant ) into his confidence and proceeds to spill is guts over his sordid love affair with his wife , and most of the story is told in flashbacks which shows what led ... |
504,710 | 2,911,571 | 369,359 | 7 | Mad Cow Disease Zombies | When you think about it , the idea that people eating tainted meat and becoming zombies is really more realistic than a space probe returning from Venus and spreading radiation with the same basic results . That is , if flesh eating zombies were realistic to begin with . A good idea but a pretty low budget , and not th... |
504,237 | 2,911,571 | 60,268 | 7 | Strange black comedy , finally got it on DVD ! | Donald Pleasance and his lovely French wife ( of 10 months ) , Françoise Dorléac , live in an isolated castle in Northumbria . Two criminals ( of some sort , it's never clear what they've done ) , become stranded in the area near the ocean & one ( Lionel Stander ) goes for help and sort of takes Pleasance & his wife ho... |
504,252 | 2,911,571 | 373,883 | 7 | Open your mind for a " re-imagining " , not a " remake " | In the original " Halloween " by John Carpenter , the sequence where Michael Myers has his little clown mask on and kills his sister , goes to the nut-house & grows up and escapes , takes only a few minutes at the beginning of the film . In this " re-imagining " by Rob Zombie , that sequence is expanded to include a lo... |
505,365 | 2,911,571 | 67,176 | 7 | following along in dear old dad's footsteps | Hands of the Ripper starts out with Jack himself doing a dirty deed and like all tired dads at the end of the day , he comes home to his wife and child . Unfortunately for his wife , he seems to have had a bad day & kills her , with their tiny daughter as a witness . Fast forward several years later & daughter Anna h... |
504,488 | 2,911,571 | 67,169 | 7 | What the hell ? | What struck me first about this is that while everyone is supposedly dressed in clothing of the 15th century , there wasn't a lot of attempt at SPEAKING as people did during that time , or attempting to hide New York accents . While the clothes are perhaps close to that time period , maybe , there's definitely some odd... |
504,521 | 2,911,571 | 71,535 | 7 | beautifully remastered on DV | If BCI Eclipse keeps up the good work on some of these old Spanish horror films from the 70's ( remastered in high definition ) they may actually achieve some respectability ( the films , that is ) . Loreley's Grasp is one of the latest releases and it looks great . The story is that of a small town ( on the Rhine , I ... |
504,851 | 2,911,571 | 90,366 | 7 | most weird and what the hell does it mean ? | First off , I can see here and there , obvious comparisons to " Dead Ringers " although THIS came first , so what's up with that , David Cronenberg ? However , the idea of twins both after the same woman is about all that these two films share , and this twins in this are lusting after a woman with one leg , not a sexu... |
504,411 | 2,911,571 | 452,592 | 7 | dark , nasty , scary stuff | Supposedly this is the " pick of the litter " of the new set of " 8 films to die for " and so I picked it first , having been mostly disappointed with what I saw of the first go-round . Not bad , very dark , very creepy , pretty scary stuff . Three buddies go to Mexico to live it up before college & run into some kind ... |
505,684 | 2,911,571 | 94,675 | 7 | bleak , deadpan comedy / drama | Tasi is a miner , who is out of a job now that the mine has been closed . His father " wills " him his old Cadillac convertible , just before going into the restroom at the snack bar in which they're talking , to blow his own head off . So Tasi goes home , gathers up a few belongings , empties his savings , and hits th... |
504,783 | 2,911,571 | 71,437 | 7 | A spy movie like you've never seen | OK , technically , I guess this isn't really a spy movie , or maybe it's sort of a secret agent movie , or maybe . . . well , I don't know , Doris Wishman directed & produced it , so maybe it's just one of the strangest things you've ever watched and let's leave it at that . Chesty Morgan plays Jane , who apparently is... |
505,384 | 2,911,571 | 71,442 | 7 | very strange and actually quite cool , if you like ' em weird . . . | This film has been bashed and trashed in almost everything I've read about it in movie books , but it's got somewhat of a cult following so I thought I'd give it a shot , and I was surprised how much I really liked it . Elizabeth Taylor plays a very strange and disconnected woman who goes to Rome on " holiday " , and w... |
504,846 | 2,911,571 | 60,173 | 7 | From the same guy that made " The Corpse Grinders " ? ? ! ! | Ted V . Mikels , director of many infamous Z-grade horror films , some of which are my ultimate favorites , actually made a movie with social consciousness ? Well , sort of , yes and no . This is more an exploitation flick than anything , but it's still an exploitation film with a message . A man in L . A . , who is a ... |
504,081 | 2,911,571 | 60,175 | 7 | I see a red glow . . . . . . | This is one strange conglomeration of stuff thrown together , in this Filipino vampire movie . We have sequences that are in color and sequences that seem to be lavender tinted that I guess is supposed to signify night-time . We also have night-time sequences that are also tinted red , I guess that means vampire feedin... |
504,798 | 2,911,571 | 64,048 | 7 | Ultra-cool trash | This is one of my favorite bad movies . It has a great look to it and if you just turn off your brain and sit back for the ride you'll be just fine , really , no lasting brain damage as a result . I don't think . A mad scientist ( Carradine , big surprise in THAT type-casting ) creates a race of supermen , they can't b... |
505,475 | 2,911,571 | 106,175 | 7 | Didn't make it in out-weirding Twin Peaks | Here's a strange little mini-series , now available on two DVD's for your viewing pleasure if you're trapped inside due to bad weather , agoraphobia , etc . It's 2007 in L . A . and the latest thing is to drive 60's cars and listen to 60's music , and either be one of the Fathers or one of the Friends . And what are th... |
505,582 | 2,911,571 | 417,148 | 7 | slithery summer fun but not exactly memorable | Snakes on a Plane is kind of a fun summer movie but I found that a few hours afterward I'd pretty much forgotten all about it . The idea is that there's a young man who has witnessed dirty deeds by some Hawaiian mob type , and is going to LA to testify against the man . To make sure the young witness never reaches his ... |
505,459 | 2,911,571 | 82,639 | 7 | Fabulous Stains , now on DVD ! | This isn't a fantastic movie but it sure is fun . Diane Lane plays a 15 year old orphan , who with her sister & cousin ( Laura Dern ) escape their dead little town to go on tour with The Looters ( Paul Cook , Steve Jones , Ray Winstone , and Paul Simonon ) and the Metal Corpses , led by a loopy Fee Waybill of the Tubes... |
504,676 | 2,911,571 | 389,313 | 7 | absolutely bizarre no-budget nightmare | There's a lot of this film that I didn't understand but it sure looked cool while it flew by , considering the extreme low budget that this was supposedly made with . A young man , who has broken up with his fiancée , runs into some young lady in the subway , who he is drawn to , but who disappears and leaves only a to... |
505,126 | 2,911,571 | 377,744 | 7 | good but flawed | The idea behind this film is quite good , actually , but its execution leaves something to be desired . A mysterious fog surrounds the state of California and communication to the outside world is cut off . With that strange fog comes the disappearance of the entire Mexican population . Which , some actually think is g... |
504,421 | 2,911,571 | 269,614 | 7 | I'm hard pressed to describe this | Screwed begins with a very surreal and disturbing scene of people , mutated and perhaps rotting , on a beach or something , writhing and wriggling and moving in rather creepy ways , and then it shifts gears into normality ( for a bit ) with a tale of a young cartoonist ( played by the guy from Ichi the Killer & Elect... |
505,669 | 2,911,571 | 109,838 | 7 | oozing with sarcastic humor | I've only read about this until it came out on DVD so i grabbed it . This is pretty funny in a sarcastic way , as only maybe Alex Winter ( Bill & Ted's E . A . ) could do , and supposedly under all that makeup there is Keanu Reeves too . A major star ( Winter ) is hired by a toxic fertilizer manufacturer to give a bett... |
504,810 | 2,911,571 | 289,438 | 7 | decent Spanish horror | Paul Naschy as a ghostly security guard in this is scarier than most of his fur-and-shoe-polish werewolf guises . The story is not unfamiliar , a bunch of kids going to party at an abandoned school . The thing is , that one of these kid's fathers did the same thing years ago but he's now deceased , and the latest group... |
505,394 | 2,911,571 | 848,557 | 7 | Not the shocker we might expect , but Romero IS 68 years old . . . | I'm not quite sure what people were expecting from this film , but I found it to be to MY liking . It's certainly no " Dawn of the Dead " but I thought it was well done & had its share of chills . The story : A bunch of college students filming a horror movie hear reports of the dead rising , etc . , so they all pile i... |
505,257 | 2,911,571 | 426,459 | 7 | not bad but not awesome | This is a fairly entertaining horror comedy which is somewhat marred by the usual action shots that move so fast you could be looking at about anything . The deal is , that there's a group of people that are randomly drawn to some low-rent desert watering hole and then trapped in there by some marauding critters that c... |
504,585 | 2,911,571 | 60,380 | 7 | not much for real scares but takes the cake for weirdness | I've read about the infamous Coffin Joe , AKA Jose Mojica Marins , for years , but finally had the opportunity to get my mitts on one of these films & found it to be right up my alley when it comes to utter weirdness . This guy wears all black , including a top hat , & has two inch long fingernails . As for the storyli... |
504,834 | 2,911,571 | 362,387 | 7 | The Odd Couple Meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre ? ( minor spoilers ) | This is a very strange little flick about two young actresses , living in the same luxury apartment not by choice , but because they've been placed there by their employer . They're both auditioning for a role in the movie " Yakuza Wives " and there's a slight bit of tension between them . One is from " hicksville " ( ... |
504,033 | 2,911,571 | 870,958 | 7 | Beware the bunny in the basement | Bloody Reunion is a rather entertaining Korean slasher flick for most of its run time , but on toward the end , I became quite lost , as it seems almost as though most of what you'd seen did not happen but something ALMOST as bad did , and then there were FURTHER twists after that , as if you weren't confused enough al... |
504,727 | 2,911,571 | 74,975 | 7 | Good vs . Evil , but who are the REAL evil ones ? | Despite the title , for those who are unfamiliar , this isn't a horror movie , it's a biker movie . Members of a motorcycle club are framed for the rape of a young girl , although the real perpetrator is none other than a sadistic sheriff's deputy . Of course when the girl's dad is told that it was the bikers ( by the ... |
504,746 | 2,911,571 | 74,971 | 7 | acceptable if not exceptional Jesse Franco flick | Here's yet another Franco film released on DVD , this one as " Night of the Skull " yet the Spanish title doesn't seem to contain the word " skull " . This is in Spanish with subtitles but I did see a brief flash at the beginning that writing credits went to Edgar Allen Poe , and " The Cat & The Canary " and Edgar Wall... |
505,266 | 2,911,571 | 878,657 | 7 | sort of a low-budget " Captivity " but actually , better . . . | I didn't care much for Captivity but I did find a copy of " The Cellar Door " for pretty cheap , so picked it up and watched it . . . and surprisingly , for the low budget , it's actually much better & held my interest more than Captivity . James Dumont plays Herman , a tubby , middle-aged guy who dresses in khakis and... |
505,232 | 2,911,571 | 443,756 | 7 | Dolly Dearest from the Land of the Rising Sun . . . . | Here's a strange little Japanese flick that combines elements of Dolls , House of Wax , Crucible of Terror , and who knows what all else . I guess it's not a ' professionally ' made film either , since it has the look of being filmed on video yet still manages to succeed rather well . It's rather gruesome it parts , ye... |
504,863 | 2,911,571 | 64,137 | 7 | weird little WWII film | I'm not sure I know how to begin to describe this but I'll give it a shot anyway .

Little does he know what he's bringing down upon him... |
505,332 | 2,911,571 | 161,638 | 7 | Rule number 1 ; don't eat while watching this | This is the first of the " Guinea Pig " series that I've seen , a double feature of " Mermaid in a Manhole " and " He Never Dies " . Will I go in search of others in this series ? Well , it's possible , but it will take some time to get over THIS one before I'd even consider that . Mermaid in a Manhole is somewhat obvi... |
504,753 | 2,911,571 | 79,355 | 7 | bizarre Indian horror / romance / drama / comedy and is my DVD complete ? | I have to wonder if the DVD I bought of this film is complete because it seems to jump from one scene to another with little sense , maybe it's just a westerner viewing a film from another culture but I'd bet that the source materials might not have been complete or usable and therefore there's this sort of lack of con... |
504,559 | 2,911,571 | 79,300 | 7 | cheese freaks rejoice ! | OK , this is not one of Ray Dennis Steckler's better films , if any of them could be called " good " , but it's got his trademark cheesiness , and it's got the usual incoherent story line , so if you like his other films you'll probably like this . Pierre D'Agostino , a photographer , supposedly , looks up ads in sex m... |
504,886 | 2,911,571 | 331,334 | 7 | I wanted to like this more than I did | After seeing " Desecration " & " Horror " , Dante Tomaselli's two older films , I had some great hopes for this , especially since it's about the Jersey Devil & the Pine Barrens , which holds some interest for me even though I know very little about it . I was rather disappointed though because this sticks more closely... |
505,498 | 2,911,571 | 324,197 | 7 | Has its good points but overall somewhat confusing | This is the story of a family that heads for their summer home in the French countryside to live after some nameless incident that has caused great catastrophe , although exactly what happened is never revealed .

505,494 | 2,911,571 | 82,498 | 7 | It's my party and I'll kill if I want to . . . . . | Young Ginny ( as played by Melissa Sue Anderson ) is part of an exclusive clique at her prep school , Crawford , but there's something not right . Little things seem to trigger repressed memories in her , little things like jumping the crack in a rising drawbridge in a car with her friends which sends her screaming off... |
504,965 | 2,911,571 | 273,925 | 7 | The Fun is mostly in the look | This is a fun film to watch just for the look , the Japanese go-go dancers and the " black tights " girl gang . As for the story , well , it's there but it pretty much takes a back seat and isn't anything to get too worked up about . That is , if you can really follow it . I guess this is kind of a Japanese " Matt Helm... |
505,314 | 2,911,571 | 114,099 | 7 | A step down from Reflecting Skin , but not bad | After Reflecting Skin , Ridley had some pretty big shoes to fill in coming up with another film as good . And it's nowhere near as good but it is adequate . Darkly Noon ( Brendan Fraser ) is a strange young man who escaped death at the hands of a lynch mob that attacked and killed members of the religious sect he belon... |
504,255 | 2,911,571 | 478,988 | 7 | Interesting and overall , fairly well done adaptation of Lovecraft | I had to read the box a couple times , because at first I thought I'd actually found an actual silent movie made in the 1920's of an HP Lovecraft story . No , that's not what this is , it's a film made in 2005 in the style of a silent 1920's film , so I thought I'd give it a shot . For the most part a good job is done ... |
504,385 | 2,911,571 | 78,873 | 7 | Worth seeing for the Voidoids | Richard Hell & The Voidoids have always been one of my favorite bands , despite the fact that they made about 2 albums & disappeared , although Mr . Hell himself still pops up from time to time . Their music was mostly distinguished by Hell himself & guitarist Robert Quine , who lent a strange quality to their music wi... |
505,120 | 2,911,571 | 117,258 | 7 | I guess I liked this but I didn't necessarily understand it . . . . | Japanese movies can be a bit tough to follow sometimes , and this is one of those . I know it begins with cops staking out an organ-harvesting operation but beyond that it's one big " what the hell ? " . Not that this isn't creepy and weird and interesting to watch , it just a bit hard to follow . Maybe another watch ,... |
505,159 | 2,911,571 | 434,762 | 7 | Another from the Pang Gang | This is a mostly decent film about a young woman who becomes obsessed with photographing death , and scenes of death , but it then wanders off into snuff movie territory for some reason and I had to wonder what the hell I missed ? Jin & Jas are two young women that are friends ( and possibly more than friends ) and Jin... |
504,103 | 2,911,571 | 296,042 | 7 | Icky the killer | Hey now , I will admit that I thought the blond guy on the cover was Ichi for a while but once I realized who he was I enjoyed the movie more . It seems there's an issue with a Yakuza guy that ran off with a bunch of money , and of course everyone is looking for him . And then there's Ichi , who somehow figures into al... |
505,103 | 2,911,571 | 78,935 | 7 | gut punch of a flick | If you're a horror fan , and a hard core horror fan , then you'll most likely want to see this , but I've been a horror fan for decades and no film I've ever seen quite affected me like this . I won't tell you that I enjoyed it because that wouldn't be the right terminology . One can look at it from the point of view t... |
505,413 | 2,911,571 | 350,774 | 7 | The US answer to Shaun of the Dead ? Not even close . . . | One of the statements on the cover of this movie calls this " The US answer to Shaun of the Dead " but that's a rather unfair comparison , because this is neither as clever nor as funny , but it's still not all that bad . A bunch of young folks , on their way to a wedding in Galveston , get lost and spend the night at ... |
504,076 | 2,911,571 | 293,478 | 7 | Good but not entirely satisfying | A young girl ( Nami ) inherits a house where she lived until she was 3 , and she and her ex-boyfriend go check it out . They're part of a team of video game designers , and they transmit their findings to the rest of the team because they want to use the house & some ideas for a new game . Nami knew the house belonged ... |
505,621 | 2,911,571 | 311,361 | 7 | Low Budget Kids in the Hall stuff | This is somewhat reminiscent of the material of Kids in the Hall , although much more low-budget , and unfortunately because of the budget it isn't as outrageous as it could have been , but it's still pretty odd and entertaining . Seems as though the lesbian population of Ottawa is being decimated by Vampires , and Jes... |
505,586 | 2,911,571 | 48,918 | 7 | Interesting as a curiosity but not as good as the 80's version | The book 1984 by George Orwell , is one of my favorites of all time , and I really liked the film version made in the mid-80's . Now I've had a chance to see the 1956 version and I'd have to say that while it's fairly good it doesn't pack the punch of the later version . I know when I saw the " remake " in the theater ... |
504,993 | 2,911,571 | 281,048 | 7 | Indonesian Muslim version of Phantasm ? Uh . . . . | OK , I picked this " Eastern Horror " movie box up and was reading the back & saw this was an Indonesian version of Phantasm , so I thought , how can I go wrong ? Well , it is , and it isn't , a version of Phantasm . It does seem to lift plenty of ideas and bits of plot but it's got no balls ( of the silver kind ) and ... |
504,189 | 2,911,571 | 82,748 | 7 | Pieces : It's not exactly what you remember it as | I saw " Pieces " many years ago at the Meridian Quad 6 in San Jose , THE place , back in the day , for all the sleazy slasher-trash . . . perhaps the closest thing to a " grindhouse " theater that San Jose had to offer . Now , Grindhouse Releasing has put out a version where you can watch this in Spanish and it has dif... |
504,101 | 2,911,571 | 55,779 | 7 | Enjoyable trash | Hey now , I've been wanting to see this for years because I have several versions of the theme song on CD , so I wanted to see what this movie is about . It's kind of a fun , trashy movie , nothing to be taken too seriously and I could watch and listen to the kids dancing to this theme song in grubby basement clubs ove... |
504,873 | 2,911,571 | 51,418 | 7 | Classic 50's monster flick | The Blob is the classic 50's monster flick , with the gelatinous red thing that sucks up people and grows to humongous size . Takes place in a small town , where the kids cause trouble all the time so when REAL trouble shows up in the form of this alien thingy , no one believes them until it takes over a movie theater ... |
504,623 | 2,911,571 | 1,179,891 | 7 | excellent 3D experience | It's kind of ironic , that in the same week that the 1981 version of " My Bloody Valentine " was released on DVD with the restored scenes that would have gotten the film an " X " rating back then , that THIS film was released . Female full-frontal nudity , eyeballs hanging on the end of pickaxes , an delightful chest c... |
504,876 | 2,911,571 | 79,082 | 7 | The negative effects of punk rock | Back in the day when I was a lad , and listened to punk rock , I had never heard of this movie . Thankfully I wasn't into power tools and grew up fairly well adjusted , more or less . Here we have the story of a young tortured artist ( played by Abel Ferrara himself ) who finds his creativity somewhat stifled by his ro... |
504,229 | 2,911,571 | 465,430 | 7 | bizarre , goofy , and worth seeing | Peter ( Reece Shearsmith ) and David ( Andy Serkis ) have kidnapped the daughter of a club owner and intend to hold her for ransom money . However , given that they're bumbling idiots , things don't quite go as planned . They arrive at a remote cottage with their hostage , and all is well until they take her out of the... |
504,486 | 2,911,571 | 120,879 | 7 | Everything you know is wrong | Taken at face value for someone who was not around during the glam era and not familiar with the music , this is a somewhat interesting look at some fictional characters that are obviously supposed to represent certain " stars " of that era . But if you're familiar with the music of that time and have some memories of ... |
505,356 | 2,911,571 | 59,727 | 7 | Finally available on DVD in the U . S . | Peter Cushing stars in this Amicus film as a man who collects various arcane books , artifacts , etc . , to help him with his writing . His main interest is finding why people fear these things . He's sold a book by a man who has questionable sources ( Patrick Wymark ) about the Marquis De Sade , and is promised that W... |
504,433 | 2,911,571 | 195,614 | 7 | if you can get past the cheesy look , it's actually a rather good horror omnibus | Years ago I bought Cremains on VHS , and it was the wrong movie inside . I returned it to the store & got a replacement with the same result , so I got something else instead . And forgot about it . Now , about 7 years later , I found it at a used store on DVD so I thought I'd try this again . To me , things filmed on ... |
504,274 | 2,911,571 | 90,866 | 7 | not a " feel good " movie but still worth seeing | Most folks don't have things quite as bad as the anti-hero of this film . This guy is a Viet Nam vet , who exists with his wife and his mutated baby son in a dirty run-down apartment and can't get a job to save his soul . He wanders the streets endlessly looking for work or whatever , because thanks to being captured a... |
505,526 | 2,911,571 | 478,265 | 7 | Pikeys . Gypsies . Chavs . Hicks . Small Town Folk | I'm not sure what people are expecting from this film , since some reviewers seem to think that " it's the worst film ever " . That phrase is used rather liberally on IMDb and I get a little tired of that . The back of the box mentions this being as if Terry Gilliam made a horror movie , and that's somewhat accurate , ... |
504,537 | 2,911,571 | 90,849 | 7 | classic garbage from the Golden Age of Troma | Class of Nuke ' Em High is great , stupid fun , and if you're expecting anything else from it , you've come to the wrong place . Tromaville High School is ( of course ) near the nuclear power plant , and a leak starts turning the students into mutants , but in some cases it's kind of hard to tell . There's a group of p... |
505,647 | 2,911,571 | 114,323 | 7 | food for thought , but a very slow film | This is a rather slow moving and quiet movie about a woman who gradually begins to lose her tolerance for chemicals and toxins all around her . Julianne Moore plays the timid housewife who is beginning to react strangely to her environment and become ill , despite the fact that her doctor really can't find much wrong w... |
505,366 | 2,911,571 | 448,134 | 7 | decent sci-fi film marred by choppy ( sloppy ? ) editing ( perhaps minor spoiler ) | Sunshine is an oddity these days , because there just aren't a lot of decent science fiction films released anymore . This one is about the crew of a ship ( Icarus 2 ) bound for the sun ( no , they didn't go at night ) and the reason for that is that the sun is dying , therefore the earth is dying . The goal is to la... |
505,587 | 2,911,571 | 63,549 | 7 | weird Euro Trash with cool music | Part of the joy to me of Italian films is their incoherence , and this is no slouch in that department . We have a hideous hag of a woman , who's a doctor , no less , a scientist , to be more exact , and she steals a formula from her boss and turns into a beautiful young woman . The problem is , she doesn't stay that w... |
504,567 | 2,911,571 | 235,712 | 7 | Prequel fills in some blanks | Ringu 0 fills in a few of the blanks in the Ringu series , like , for starters , why she was shunned and how she came to be in the well . Young Sadako is part of a theater troupe , and a reporter knows who she is but the rest of the cast doesn't , at least , not yet . There are glimpses of Sadako's strange powers , whi... |
505,531 | 2,911,571 | 257,885 | 7 | Only two chapters of a mini-series ? | I was fairly excited when I saw this and figured it was another movie by Takashi Miike , whose work I really enjoy , but was rather puzzled when I watched it until I figured out at least part of what was going on . This isn't a movie , it's only the first two episodes of a mini-series from 2000 . The big question is : ... |
504,592 | 2,911,571 | 95,125 | 7 | Eyes Without A Face updating with an 80's disco beat | This is not quite like most Franco films I've seen , being that it's more in line with 80's sort of sensibilities , in that it has some 80's disco music in it and I really prefer the jazz of Franco films of old . No matter though , what also seems to be missing is the boatload of girl on girl perversions and all that k... |
505,591 | 2,911,571 | 63,729 | 7 | thriller in the Hitchcock style isn't bad , just has some strange ideas | Hywell Bennet plays a young man who lives with his mother & stepfather , and while his stepfather wants him out and working , his mother babies him endlessly , perhaps because he was born " normal " and his brother suffers from Mongolism . Now , young Martin ( Bennet ) calls himself " Georgie " and feigns simple-minded... |
504,835 | 2,911,571 | 323,630 | 7 | An interesting premise ( maybe a minor spoiler ) | An investigative reporter is plagued by phone calls and changes her number and relocates to a big empty house owned by her sister and brother-in-law , after writing some articles that exposed public figures for doing naughty things . Apparently the phone calls haven't stopped though , because her niece picks up the pho... |
