505,594 | 2,911,571 | 455,760 | 7 | better than average but minus a point for Donnie Wahlberg | I thought Dead Silence was full of lots of creepy imagery and goings-on , and it was a pretty solid horror flick , but the irritating prescence of Donnie Wahlberg was somewhat of a distraction . A man and his wife receive a mysterious package , which contains a ventriloquist dummy , hmm , no return address ? But they o... |
505,253 | 2,911,571 | 374,474 | 7 | decent if a bit incoherent | If nightmarish imagery and hallucinogenic atmosphere are your thing , than you'll probably like this . If you enjoyed films like Dante Tomaselli's " Horror " , then this will most likely be right up your alley . If you like cookie-cutter horror and everything has to make sense , you can probably forget about this . Bec... |
504,530 | 2,911,571 | 1,258,202 | 7 | Did ya get me sinners and hippies ? | I guess you could say that in the look and feel of " Long Pig " that it's either very low budget ( it is ) or it's an attempt to capture the same sort of look as Texas Chainsaw Massacre . Either way , that part works . We have several different stories going on that all eventually converge in an isolated barn where the... |
504,170 | 2,911,571 | 389,722 | 7 | A decent vampire film with a good premise | Barrow , Alaska , the northern-most city in the US , is preparing for its annual 30 days of night , meaning a good portion of the townspeople who can't handle it have up and split , and those that remain are pretty much stuck there for the duration . What better pickings for a group of vampires , eh ? This is a brutal ... |
505,596 | 2,911,571 | 813,129 | 7 | Nothing really new except the location , but still not bad | Greek Zombies ? This is a new one on me , in fact , this may actually be the first Greek movie I've ever seen , yes , I believe it is . A group of men find a cave while working at a construction site , and they go in to explore , thinking they might find some ancient ruins . But , nothing . . . that they can see , anyw... |
504,177 | 2,911,571 | 48,215 | 7 | decent sci-fi with great effects by Ray Harryhausen | It Came From Beneath the Sea is , of course , about a creature that came from the depths of the ocean , disturbed by atomic testing . First a submarine crew tangles with it , but they don't know what it is , except a piece of tissue the size of a barrel is caught in their propeller . Along come a couple of scientists (... |
504,419 | 2,911,571 | 79,855 | 7 | Lesser known " slasher " flick from the 70's | According to the back of the box on this , this flick was made in 1976 and not released until 1981 , maybe that had something to do with the success of other films like Friday the 13th , etc . ? I can't really say this is a slasher film , though , it's more like a horror / exploitation type flick . A bunch of people fr... |
504,163 | 2,911,571 | 66,735 | 7 | A very strange early effort from Argento REVISED for OFFICIAL DVD release | I finally got my hands on a copy of this and watched it last night , and it's not Argento's best or worst , but it's definitely a mystery to me why it's not " officially " released . A rock drummer is embroiled in some mystery after it appears that he's killed a man that seemed to be following him , and a mysterious pe... |
504,724 | 2,911,571 | 456,149 | 7 | And the medical system is only like this in Romania ? | According to the box art of " The Death Of Mr . Lazarescu " , it's a black comedy ? Well , there are some humorous moments but if this is a black comedy then it's darker than any I've seen before and I didn't find anything to laugh at . I was drawn into this movie though and watched it with growing disbelief as poor si... |
504,205 | 2,911,571 | 94,930 | 7 | cheesy & tasteless but not bad | A happily married man is out cruising for babes all the time with his sleazy friend from the clinic where they work , and one night they just happen to pick up a pair of babes to bring back to one guy's house , and one of them isn't at all what she seems . . . . she's a he , and she's just bitten the guy on the butt . ... |
505,252 | 2,911,571 | 374,639 | 7 | interesting and amusing " mockumentary " | Here we have a documentary maker filming Werner Herzog and his crew preparing and embarking on a quest to find The Loch Ness Monster . It begins in Werner's L . A . home at a dinner for the crew and then they all depart for Scotland where the real fun begins . Zak Penn ( playing himself ) is a rather weaselly producer ... |
504,099 | 2,911,571 | 116,769 | 7 | NOT a low point | I just briefly read a comment from another " rater " and see that he thought this was a low point for Jesse Franco . Hmmm , that's really hard to say with him . I rather liked this movie and if one needs to see a low point for Franco then check out " Tender Flesh " , or better yet , DON'T . A band ( Killer Barbys , of ... |
504,773 | 2,911,571 | 66,914 | 7 | very weird , even for Franco | Jess Franco has had a busy career and has done movies in Spanish , German , French , and English , and this one just happens to be French . This is kind of an arty film , and one that may carry some viewers right off to dreamland . The film itself is rather dream-like , and is about a young woman who has never met her ... |
504,256 | 2,911,571 | 86,154 | 7 | he's back . . . . | After 22 years in the asylum , Norman Bates is out and has moved back to the very house where it all started years ago . He has gotten a job as a cook's assistant at a local diner where he meets a clumsy young waitress , as played by Meg Tilly . Now , it seems that Tilly's character broke up with her boyfriend & she ne... |
504,496 | 2,911,571 | 56,119 | 7 | Interesting , but not quite what I expected | I had seen 12 Monkeys in the theater when it first came out , and being a hard-core Terry Gilliam fan , I know that he said he used " La Jettee " as his inspiration for 12 Monkeys . Now , 12 long years later , I've finally had the opportunity to see the film from which Gilliam's inspiration came , and I have to say tha... |
504,092 | 2,911,571 | 82,379 | 7 | Not just another dead teen movie | A group of young folks venture out into the redwoods for some kind of camping trip , and I guess they're all potential forest-ranger types . Woe unto our National Forests . But it seems that there is someone out there that perhaps shares my opinion on whether or not these mostly insufferable young folks should live , a... |
504,902 | 2,911,571 | 70,696 | 7 | sick & twisted exploitation film pretty much has it all | I finally was able to get a copy of this delightful ( ? ! ) film & watch it , and I have to say I was not disappointed . A young couple who are down on their luck , take a room at a very seedy and rundown boarding house , which is run by Lila Lash , a former performer , and her dwarf son Olaf . Olaf's specialty is luri... |
504,153 | 2,911,571 | 86,248 | 7 | Topless babes | Fred Olen Ray has had a rather checkered career , and I guess he's the mastermind or owner of Retro Media , which does put out some decent ( depending on your perspective ) old horror flicks . Scalps is actually one of his better films but this is pretty low budget and this restored version contains bits and pieces tha... |
504,071 | 2,911,571 | 308,514 | 7 | Interesting background on why you'll never see The Man Who Killed Don Quixote | I guess you could call this the documentary of a failure , which is kind of sad right there , because I love the films of Terry Gilliam , and this looked as though it could be a great one . It offers an interesting look at the man himself , and how he envisions things that others don't think can be done . It also offer... |
504,195 | 2,911,571 | 66,847 | 7 | decent 60's Filipino horror offering | A NY sex-crimes expert heads to the Philippines to help out an old friend , who is investigating some strange murders of women in the Manila area . Seems that the victims have been drained of blood & that a lot of the women all seem to work at this night club called " The Barrio " . Adamm Rourke ( Robert Winston ) pose... |
504,959 | 2,911,571 | 376,968 | 7 | a dysfunctional family film ? | Two young boys go camping and fishing with their dad , who has mysteriously returned years after he left the family . It's never clear if he just left or if the parents were divorced , but that doesn't really matter . The oldest son is rather taken with dad but the youngest is rather a stubborn individual and is quite ... |
505,644 | 2,911,571 | 304,166 | 7 | Creepy , disturbing , but disjointed . | OK , so this film doesn't make oodles of sense , but it's cool to watch and it's at times , pretty disturbing . If anyone saw Tomaselli's previous film , " Desecration " , well , it was kind of that way too . Also , if anyone has seen one of many Italian films from the 80's , or perhaps even other times , they are too ... |
505,567 | 2,911,571 | 70,672 | 7 | gritty NYC cop action / drama is worthwhile ! | I'm not much for " cop " movies , but this one is supposedly a classic & when I found it cheap I bought it and stuck it on a shelf , only to finally get around to watching it yesterday , and I LIKED it ! Now , you can have New York City , but as a setting for a film like this , in the winter months , it's perfect . Roy... |
505,500 | 2,911,571 | 760,187 | 7 | there you go again . . . . . | The Tripper is sort of a fun throw-back to the 80's slasher flick , with hippies ( of the modern sort ) who have gone to attend a music festival in the redwoods ( Humboldt County , CA , I believe ) and there's someone out there in a Ronald Reagan mask who is acting out his dislike for tree-hugger types . . . with an ... |
504,440 | 2,911,571 | 121,164 | 7 | Good but . . . . ? | Like all Tim Burton movies , at least the ones worth seeing , this is well done and kind of the living cartoon answer to the drawings of Edward Gory . And I like the macabre and strange . But I wasn't entirely comfortable watching this for some reason . Dead things made to be cute seemed to be rather morbid to me , for... |
504,772 | 2,911,571 | 86,050 | 7 | OK early 80's horror | This is an OK early 80's horror flick in which a young girl ( Meg Tilly ) is wanting to shed her " goody two shoes " image and becomes part of a girl gang called The Sisters . Their initiation for her consists of spending the night in a mausoleum . Too bad the mausoleum is the " final " resting place of some psycho Rus... |
505,025 | 2,911,571 | 56,220 | 7 | OK early Franco | This is your basic family-with-a-curse flick , starring the ever-present ( at least for Franco's films ) Howard Vernon as a baron suspected of deaths of young ladies in the area of his castle , most notably , the swamp , where his ancestor did his evil deeds many years ago . Of course the police and a news reporter are... |
504,324 | 2,911,571 | 70,868 | 7 | follow-up to " Tales from the Crypt " is not quite as good | Vault of Horror has now been released in the US on DVD as part of a set with " Tales from the Crypt " , so if you've been yearning to have these in your collection grab them now . VOH is not as creepy as TFTC but is still decent and entertaining . 5 men find themselves in a descending elevator that proceeds to the su... |
504,087 | 2,911,571 | 70,869 | 7 | The Hostile Hostel , Spanish-style | This is a fairly creepy yet mostly tame Spanish production about two wacko sisters that run an inn and carry out moral judgements against young women that dress in mini-skirts ( or have their breasts exposed ) . In other words , they are old fashioned and rather jealous of modern styles that don't look good on them ? O... |
505,079 | 2,911,571 | 114,466 | 7 | not bad , has its moments | Ted Raimi plays Dennis Skinner , a presentable young man who has a few secrets hiding behind his genial facade . I guess his life was changed forever at age six when his dad insisted on performing a post-mortem on his mom . Wow . At any rate Dennis wanders into some small suburban hell in California where he rents a ro... |
504,922 | 2,911,571 | 101,497 | 7 | Fairly scary for comedy | I normally pass on horror comedies but this one caught my fancy , probably because it's more horror than comedy . It's got familiar faces ( Norman Fell , Phyllis Diller , and that other guy that has been in a million TV shows ) and it's got awesome little zombie kids that are pretty creepy . Throw in a reluctant psychi... |
505,156 | 2,911,571 | 82,243 | 7 | Strange yet bland | Some of the " strange behavior " in this movie is that it's supposed to take place in Illinois yet it's filmed in New Zealand using actors that don't always do very well in suppressing their accents . Other than that , this is your basic " mad scientist experiments on kids and turns them into killers " . People are vol... |
504,909 | 2,911,571 | 82,242 | 7 | Kind of a " Stepford Wives " kicked up a few notches | The town coroner of Potter's Bluff ( Jack Albertson ) seems to enjoy his work , a lot . And he seems to have quite a lot these days because anyone that wanders near Potter's Bluff seems to die a horrible death . The sheriff ( as played by James Farentino ) seems to realize that there's something not right but he's appa... |
504,705 | 2,911,571 | 90,917 | 7 | Decent 80's Wes Craven thriller , now on DV | I saw " Deadly Friend " at the cinema when it first came out , so usually anything I saw in the cinema that I liked back then has a soft spot in my heart . Paul & his mom are moving to a new house , in a new town , with Paul's robot " BB " . Seems that BB is a pretty versatile & multi-talented robot too . Paul befriend... |
505,649 | 2,911,571 | 82,244 | 7 | not your usual TYPE of horror movie | Hey now , this is an overlooked little gem of a horror thriller . A famous writer pushes himself to write the ultimate horror story and just can't ( in his own mind ) seem to get it the way he wants it . He says he uses horror as a metaphor to comment on today's society ; which does not endear him to his critics , but ... |
504,914 | 2,911,571 | 56,277 | 7 | Where'd they get the glow-in-the-dark paint ? | This movie is on a Hammer Collection that was just recently released here in the US , and I randomly picked a disc and put it in and picked this movie mainly because I'd never heard of it . It's not a bad little flick and Peter Cushing plays a role that's a bit of a stretch for him , at least in my mind . Most movies I... |
505,302 | 2,911,571 | 491,197 | 7 | at least this has more plot and less naked old men | I had ordered 2 films by Giuseppe Andrews at the same time from different places so saw " Period Piece " before I saw this and thought , what the hell have I bought ? Thankfully , " Touch Me In The Morning " at least has something of a plot and doesn't prominently feature any 80-year old man rubbing pork rinds on his b... |
504,584 | 2,911,571 | 361,668 | 7 | Cow's Head ? | OK , I found out while watching this that Gozu means " Cow's head " . That's as apt a title as any for this bad trip of a movie . Which doesn't mean it's a bad movie , it's just insanely weird and above and beyond any Takashi Miike movie for just plain surreal viewing . And he's put out some doozies . So if I can follo... |
505,212 | 2,911,571 | 413,669 | 7 | Not bad but lacks the charm ( ? ) of the original | Alien Factor 2 isn't bad for what it is , a low-budget movie by a cult director ( the late Don Dohler ) whose movie-making skills really hadn't changed a lot from the 70's . But this sequel seems to be missing some of the charm ( and yes , it has charm , of sorts ) of the original , the grainy look , the imaginative mo... |
504,713 | 2,911,571 | 273,726 | 7 | Christmas Nightmare is a better name . . . . | So it's time to drag out those holiday horror chestnuts , when everyone else is watching " Holiday Inn " and stuff . A man is a presidential candidate's campaign manager , that is , until the candidate is gunned down by an extremist organization , after which the man & his wife are taken to a ' safe house ' by an FBI a... |
505,009 | 2,911,571 | 374,718 | 7 | Pretty strange , pretty nasty , pretty good | I wasn't too sure about this film going into it , despite the fact that it had Bill Moseley in it and was on the Synapse label , both of which usually mean good things . What I found was that this was a pretty strange horror flick with some very nasty moments and while it doesn't make oodles of sense , it's still well ... |
503,923 | 2,911,571 | 63,115 | 7 | care for a brownie ? | This is not one of Peter Seller's best films but it's still not bad . Sellers plays an uptight Jewish lawyer in L . A . who has been engaged to a woman for a couple years and finally sets a date . He ends up having his car wrecked and while its in the shop he has to drive a hippie van , painted up with flowers and slog... |
504,565 | 2,911,571 | 80,380 | 7 | weird , trashy , and lots of tunes . . . . . . | I have to wonder , in the wake of flicks like Rocky Horror , why this was not more well known ? I've never heard of it or seen it until recently , and it does have a sort of " Rocky Horror " tone to it but perhaps not with as strong characters . For me , though , there's far too much music but there's a few things that... |
505,691 | 2,911,571 | 68,284 | 7 | interesting take on " Dracula " | William Marshall plays Mamuwalde , an African prince visiting ( unfortunately ) Count Dracula in Transylvania , with his beautiful young wife , Luva . They are basically campaigning against slavery , but when the Count expresses some rather unpopular ideas on that subject , his guests start to leave , only to be attack... |
504,912 | 2,911,571 | 138,704 | 7 | left me in the dust , mostly | Pi is a mathematical nightmare . Perhaps if you're into numbers or something then this would seem fascinating but it kind of lost me a lot of the time . Max is a paranoid genius type , spends most of the time locked in his Chinatown apartment doing calculations to find patterns in nature or something . Max is also not ... |
505,269 | 2,911,571 | 262,246 | 7 | Odd & amusing | This is an odd little Korean film about 4 slacker-types who rob a gas station , and come back to rob it a second time . When they're mistaken for the attendants they realize that they'll do better by taking OVER the gas station and collecting the money . As time passes ( this all takes place in one night ) they amass a... |
503,875 | 2,911,571 | 80,346 | 7 | Night of the Living Dead , Swamp-style | I've seen this before but didn't pick up on the fact that I grew up not far from where this was made , as in they show the Oviedo Drug Store , and one license plate is from Seminole County , FL , huh . Interesting . Which is not necessarily how I'd describe this low budget effort from the infamous Fred Olen Ray , but i... |
505,643 | 2,911,571 | 68,230 | 7 | decent Hammer-wannabe from Amicus Studios | Not-bad British horror anthology flick can't quite live up to " Tales from the Crypt " ( and where is THAT on DVD ? ) but is still entertaining . A young psychiatrist goes to interview at an asylum and must speak to four patients in a test to gain employment . Of course each patient has a story to tell of how they got ... |
504,745 | 2,911,571 | 350,128 | 7 | Way better than expected | When I started watching this I saw what is supposed to be the " gimmick " for this film . . . . it claims to be restored footage from 1972 . Well , despite the pains taken to make it look that way , the pretense gets lost a few times but there is actually a decent attempt to recreate the look and feel of an early 70's ... |
504,429 | 2,911,571 | 795,368 | 7 | British black comedy is well worth seeing . | Death at A Funeral IS a funny movie , and I enjoyed it , but it has a rather light touch to it and I was actually expecting that it would be more outrageous than it was . For some , it's probably outrageous enough just as it is . Firstly , we begin with the wrong body being brought to the funeral in the coffin , so of ... |
505,522 | 2,911,571 | 808,276 | 7 | I love foreign horror films . . . when they have something different to offer | Cold Prey is a Norwegian horror film ( the first that I've seen , to my knowledge ) and while it's not bad , it's nothing one has not seen before , for the most part . Different setting , different language , same old scenarios . Having said that though , it's not bad , just not terribly original . A group of young fol... |
503,915 | 2,911,571 | 215,658 | 7 | guess who didn't take their medication again ? | Confessions of a Psycho Cat is actually one of the better 60's exploitation flicks I've seen from Something Weird video , and this one is a take-off on " The Most Dangerous Game " , but the hunter ( huntress ? ) is an unstable woman , Virginia , who has just had a nervous breakdown so she couldn't go on safari in Afric... |
504,765 | 2,911,571 | 388,395 | 7 | slow moving but ultimately rewarding | Schultze is a retired salt miner in Germany , in a small town in the former DDR . He is at loose ends with his retirement , as his wife is in a nursing home & his friends that were retired with him don't have much more exciting going on in their lives . One day Shultze hears Cajun music on the radio and picks up his ac... |
504,777 | 2,911,571 | 54,395 | 7 | not a bad little thriller | Joachim Fuchsberger plays Inspector Holt in this Edgar Wallace mystery of wealthy old men who are being murdered in London and fished out of the Thames . Seems there's something up with an insurance scam , blind men , and gambling debts . Inspector Holt's sidekick Sunny is presumably present for a bit of comic relief a... |
503,884 | 2,911,571 | 138,508 | 7 | goofy little sci-fi spoof | First off : Larry Raspberry ? He's the " star " of this odd little picture and while his bio says he was in the Gentrys back in the 60's I seem to remember an album called " Larry Raspberry & the High Steppers " or something to that effect . Anyway , there's another Raspberry in this movie too , his brother , I'd guess... |
504,281 | 2,911,571 | 275,408 | 7 | be it ever so . . . . ? | A somewhat interesting look at 5 different family units and their homes , none of which are ordinary ( the homes or the people ) . One Louisiana dude lives in a houseboat and messes with alligators for a living . An Illinois man lives in a electronic " house of the future " and has strange neighbors and lots of interes... |
505,355 | 2,911,571 | 472,465 | 7 | very eerie and creepy | This is filmed all in one take from a supposed dash-mounted camera in a police vehicle . There's something going on involving meteorites landing in an isolated park area in Lawton , CA . The officer at the wheel , one Brick Bardo ( ! ) is reporting back to base about what he's seeing on his patrol , and he stops to loo... |
504,573 | 2,911,571 | 97,768 | 7 | Enjoyable spoof on old science fiction movies | The premise here is that a big producer ( Tony Curtis ) is in trouble with the IRS and needs a film that will flop so his company will lose money . A young kid has been working on his own film for a while & finally Shelldrake ( Curtis ) agrees to see him and view his film . This is the minor introduction to the real st... |
505,673 | 2,911,571 | 149,698 | 7 | I like it but I don't necessarily get it . . . . . | I have now watched this twice , and while I like it I don't suppose I can fully do it justice trying to tell the reader what it's all about . This is a very character-driven movie , and there's sure lots of characters staying at this sad old hotel . There's Greta , an ex-porno star , there's Suzy , a Chinese woman look... |
504,333 | 2,911,571 | 93,468 | 7 | . . . . and when she was bad , she was HORRID . . . . . | Madhouse ( AKA " There Was A Little Girl " ) has just been released in the US on Dark Sky Films , and it looks & sounds great . The story is that of a women , who has an identical twin , who is in an asylum and who is now disfigured . That identical twin terrorized her when she was young , so while there is still a b... |
503,878 | 2,911,571 | 54,768 | 7 | Wonderful Corman trash | This movie has always been a favorite , for reasons I'm unable to explain since it's pretty much a piece of low-budget junk , but then again , lots of stuff I enjoy is like that . I will say that I was extremely disappointed by the Alpha Video version since it was very poor quality and skipped and was generally unwatch... |
505,003 | 2,911,571 | 227,408 | 7 | Etherhead | This film brought to mind Eraserhead , only because it's filmed in black & white and has a lot of industrial-type settings . However , there's about where the comparison ends . This is kind of like a 50's mad doctor movie , only those movies never featured tons of splatter & forced sex and crazy ether-addicted scientis... |
505,463 | 2,911,571 | 68,502 | 7 | Three horrific themes rolled into one , and then some . . . . | In " Dr . Jekyll and Sister Hyde " , we have three British horror themes rolled into one . Obviously , the first is " Dr . Jekyll and Mr . Hyde " , but then we have " Burke & Hare " and then " Jack The Ripper " . And all with a Hammer Studios twist . Dr . Jekyll has been experimenting with hormones , it seems , and wha... |
504,859 | 2,911,571 | 72,354 | 7 | but how did they get to be vampires ? | This begins with two women in bed , going at it , when the door opens and they're both gunned down . Then , they're vampires ? Hmm , I thought one had to be bitten by a vampire for that to happen , so this was a rather strange start . Anyway , these two women hitch hike along a lonely road and always just need a ride b... |
505,670 | 2,911,571 | 418,778 | 7 | The Green Slime , revisited . . . . ? | This is a strange movie , and while all the elements are there for a kind of supernatural or bio-horror movie , well , it kind of fizzles out there . At an isolated and understaffed hospital , something very strange seems to be going on , or several " something stranges " , that is . An ambulance driver leaves a seriou... |
504,939 | 2,911,571 | 80,040 | 7 | wait , little girl . . . . | Tourist Trap is among my favorite late 70's / early 80's horror flicks . A group of young people are heading somewhere , one pair in the car ahead , & that car has a flat , and our film opens with the young man , Woody , pushing the tire along looking for a service station . He finds a seemingly abandoned place , and... |
504,858 | 2,911,571 | 384,832 | 7 | plenty of balls but not enough budget | First off this is based on a Manga , which should tell you something of what it will be like ( that is , if you've ever read one ) . We have two rival baseball teams , Seido ( the good guys ) and Gedo ( the evil guys ) and they will play baseball to the death , something which takes about 10 seconds with the first go-r... |
505,484 | 2,911,571 | 76,164 | 7 | A fun and goofy flick , not to be taken seriously ( no matter HOW it was made ) | It's hard to say with some Asian flicks whether they were made to be serious or if they were made as spoofs . If this one was made to be serious , it's also an excellent spoof . The story is not that much different from that of King Kong , except home base is Hong Kong & the Peking Man has been spotted in the Himilayas... |
504,572 | 2,911,571 | 93,560 | 7 | Fun monster flick , now on DV | The Monster Squad is not Academy Award winning material , but it's a fun movie and there's enough for adults to enjoy that it's a film for about any age . Except perhaps , for some of the language , which really , I don't care about , but the little five-year old girl does say " chickens " , so that might be about it... |
505,327 | 2,911,571 | 68,559 | 7 | not bad , as erotic Frankenstein movies go . . . . | I bought this as ' Ritos De Frankenstein " from Image , yet when it plays the title comes up differently than what's on the box . No matter . This is Jesus Franco's take on the Frankenstein legend so of course you know it'll be different . It's got some incredible scenery ( the castle & grounds ) and some very atmosphe... |
504,013 | 2,911,571 | 138,408 | 7 | enjoyably cheesy | Hey now , for some reason I liked this low-budget effort , filmed in New Hampshire , of all places . It's suitably weird & creepy , just off-beat enough to be enjoyable . Has to do with entities in the water pipes and stuff , hence the title , I guess . Mostly takes place in a rental property that is being " fixed up "... |
504,227 | 2,911,571 | 72,196 | 7 | what the heck is this about ? | Spasmo is rather cool to watch but for the most part , don't ask me what it's about . There's lots of life-like mannequins popping up everywhere , and usually in some sort of compromising positions , there's a man who is onto a mystery but what kind , he's not sure . It's something to do with a hit man that he thinks h... |
504,524 | 2,911,571 | 215,960 | 7 | if weirdness is your thing , you'll want to check this one out | Malatesta's Carnival of Blood is a movie whose major star seems to be Herve Villachaise , who really only has a small part ( no pun intended ) . However , there's enough else going on here & just plain utter weird nonsense that you won't worry much about the " star power " in this film . Seems that some folks have come... |
505,169 | 2,911,571 | 200,530 | 7 | Not really much of a comedy but strangely interesting | If you're to believe the box art then this is a " laugh out loud " comedy , but it's really not much of a comedy at all . Still though , it's not bad , if actually a little creepy . Chuck and Buck were childhood friends , and while Chuck has gone on to bigger and better things and has a good job and a fiancée , Buck st... |
505,411 | 2,911,571 | 68,414 | 7 | Ingredients are everywhere ! | Ingredients are everywhere , so speaks the owner of a questionable cat food factory when he realizes that they don't need freshly ( or even not-so-freshly ) dug-up corpses to make Lotus Cat Food . That's at the point where winos start finding their way into kitty's tummy . Seems like even house cats are in a " savage s... |
505,448 | 2,911,571 | 68,415 | 7 | A decent little thriller | This is a decent little thriller that takes place in Scotland but it's an Italian film . Now , apparently Blue Underground put some restored footage in or something because suddenly we take a few brief detours from Scottish brogues into Italian with subtitles ? Hmm , that kind of ruined the mood , but still , this is a... |
504,006 | 2,911,571 | 407,236 | 7 | didn't quite meat with my expectations , but still good | I have Jan Svankmajer's films on DVD , like Alice , Faust , Conspirators of Pleasure , Little Otik , and when I watched all these for the first time I was sucked right into them and absolutely delighted with them all . Not so with this one , really , and I hesitate to say I was disappointed , but I suppose I was . This... |
504,762 | 2,911,571 | 422,401 | 7 | Old-school horror / comedy isn't bad , but way too LOU | Hatchet isn't particularly new or original in its themes , but it is at least sort of a throwback to the slasher heyday of the 80's , so that makes it a bit more appealing in my mind . My one complaint about this film is that it's WAY TOO LOUD . The dialog is fine but the thunder and gunfire and monster noises are mixe... |
504,675 | 2,911,571 | 72,235 | 7 | Is it cow sh or is it my beloved ? | I have read a lot of comments from folks that say that " Sweet Movie " doesn't make any sense . . . and I'll agree with that , it beats me what the hell it's supposed to be about except for the glaringly obvious . At the beginning we're treated to a " song " by some Polish woman , in which she wails " Is it cow sh , or... |
503,930 | 2,911,571 | 437,857 | 7 | A great " how to " guide using your basic " horror clichés " | Behind the Mask : The Rise of Leslie Vernon , is the take of an up-and-coming young man who see himself as a possible successor to the throne of Jason Vorhees , Freddy Krueger , and Michael Myers . It begins as a small group of grad students film & interview this young man as he lays out the groundwork for his rise to ... |
504,900 | 2,911,571 | 162,503 | 7 | Wild , weird , and well worth watching | To date , the only other films I've seen by Luigi Batzella are " Devil's Wedding Night " ( abysmal ) and " Beast In Heat " ( SUPER abysmal ) . However , " Nude For Satan " is a much better film in many ways , but it will definitely not be for all tastes . A doctor , racing to an emergency call , sees what he thinks is ... |
504,408 | 2,911,571 | 266,452 | 7 | Has its good points and its bad points | A vicious rivalry between dysfunctional children's TV show stars sounds like a great idea , and it is , it's just that with Danny DeVito at the helm it gets a little heavy-handed at times . After Rainbow Randolph ( Robin Williams ) gets caught on the take with a briefcase full of cash , he's washed up and his show is o... |
505,537 | 2,911,571 | 388,230 | 7 | A better " homegrown " than " Flesh for the Beast " | Anchor Bay's " homegrown " movie is far superior to Shriek Show's " Flesh for the Beast " but that wouldn't be very difficult . However , while it's old school horror , it's still not top notch but actually nowhere near as bad as what I've read about it . It's very well done technically , it's just got a few plot holes... |
505,439 | 2,911,571 | 68,459 | 7 | Live fast , die young , and leave a good looking pile of dust | Here's what Robert Quarry did after Count Yorga , if you're interested : he donned a wig and caftan and became a Charlie Manson type hippie guru vampire . This isn't exactly up to the standards of the Count Yorga movies , at least the first one , but it's OK for a hippie vampire movie . And it even features John Fiedle... |
504,882 | 2,911,571 | 76,068 | 7 | Decent giallo , but not one of the best | I guess when this was made the director , Antonio Bido , was making a rather valiant attempt to follow in Dario Argento's footsteps . He does manage to succeed on some levels but fails at others . The music in this ( by Trans Europa Express ) is very much like that of Goblin from Argento's films , and it sounds hauntin... |
505,668 | 2,911,571 | 54,988 | 7 | something is rotten in Denmark | Homicidal isn't bad but William Castle apparently was a serious Alfred Hitchcock " wannabe " . This is overtones & themes lifted from Psycho but it's also got a twist at the end that I'm sure was rather " exotic " for 1961 and perhaps left a bunch of people puzzled ? Anyway a beautiful woman hires a bellboy to marry he... |
504,327 | 2,911,571 | 58,753 | 7 | the downside of grave desecration | It's the Whitlocks vs . the Laniers in this tale of witchcraft from England . Seems that the Laniers are busy digging up a graveyard to make way for a housing project . Seems like the Whitlocks strongly object to that , being that their family plot is there . And in their family plot is the grave of a witch that was bu... |
504,157 | 2,911,571 | 111,173 | 7 | Could have been better but still worth seeing | I had only read about this film prior to finding a used copy , so since it was cheap decided I'd take a chance , and I wasn't completely disappointed , but a little , though . It goes pretty far but I'd say they could have gone a bit further . A bunch of disaffected youth in some big English city go " shopping " which ... |
503,996 | 2,911,571 | 353,969 | 7 | decent Korean detective movie | First off , there will be several familiar faces in this , as a lot of the cast is from other recent Korean movies like Lady Vengeance , Whispering Stairs , etc . The time is 1986 and there are murders taking place in a rural area and police are baffled as to who the killer may be , although they do have some suspects ... |
504,403 | 2,911,571 | 107,302 | 7 | your basic psycho road picture | David Duchovny and Michelle Forbes play a young journalist couple who want to go to California , but can't really afford to , so they ' ride share " with another young couple ( Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis ) to save on expenses . The idea is for them to stop at various murder sites along the way , sites where serial ki... |
504,956 | 2,911,571 | 464,196 | 7 | decent black comedy / horror | Severance is the story of several employees of a defense contractor who are on a team-building exercise somewhere inside the former Iron Curtain . . . . like , Hungary . When they encounter a tree across the road the driver refuses to take an alternate route & find themselves left to their own devices in the middle of ... |
505,572 | 2,911,571 | 76,478 | 7 | let's get one thing straight here | What exactly do people expect when they watch an Al Adamson film ? Are they expecting classic cinema that is wonderful beyond belief and will leave them with lasting memories ? You'd think so by some of the reviews . Al Adamson's films are trashy and sleazy and cheesy , not much more , so if you go into them knowing th... |
504,379 | 2,911,571 | 62,711 | 7 | Good but could have used a bit less music | This is a good 60's sci-fi / sex romp but despite the fact that Jane Fonda bares quite a bit and the sets are imaginative and cool , it could have used less 60's style pop music . It is pretty funny at times and cool to watch but my biggest complaint was the music , which I thought detracted from some of the action . J... |
504,682 | 2,911,571 | 223,783 | 7 | Wow . . . I guess I wasn't expecting something this hard-edged | When this film started I thought it was going to be a bunch of trashy , slutty Japanese girls taking advantage of old men & stealing their watches and wallets so they could go out drinking , which is basically how this starts . Little did I expect this to turn as dark as it did so quickly . This is perhaps one take on ... |
504,883 | 2,911,571 | 73,820 | 8 | Zuni Fetish Dolls rule . . . ! | This creepy little made-for-TV movie from Dan Curtis ( creator of Dark Shadows ) features Karen Black in 4 different roles . The first two segments are rather low-key but creepy , but of course the standout is the last one featuring everybody's favorite , the nasty little Zuni Fetish Doll that runs amok after it's litt... |
504,369 | 2,911,571 | 244,870 | 8 | Refreshingly weird & creepy | Hey now , I have never laid eyes on a Manga comic , but apparently this movie is based on one . Ah well , such is life . Anyway , this is a pretty bizarre , to say the least , movie , as things literally spiral out of control in a small Japanese town . People are becoming obsessed with the uzumaki ( spiral ) and this y... |
504,223 | 2,911,571 | 462,482 | 8 | good solid thriller | The idea of this movie intrigued me so I finally found a copy and watched it last night , and I was not disappointed . Rockville Falls is a small town in the Midwest ( Kansas ? ) and census taker Steve Kady is headed for there to do his work . It's rather hard to find though and none of the locals near there can or wil... |
504,192 | 2,911,571 | 462,485 | 8 | The chicken has declared Jihad on us all ! | I think I've been seeing trailers for " Poultrygeist " for about a year or more now , as I do watch a lot of Troma stuff . And now , I have it on DVD , and I watched it last night . . . . and it does live up to all the hype . For those unfamiliar with the plot , it does involve the bulldozing of a Native American buria... |
505,447 | 2,911,571 | 83,694 | 8 | dark dark comedy | On the eve of a visit from Queen Elizabeth , things seem to be in shambles at Brittania Hospital . Union workers are on strike and challenge ambulances as they bring patients in , not to mention doctors and staff . Preparations are falling behind schedule , there's an African dictator in the " priveleged wing " and the... |
504,528 | 2,911,571 | 70,464 | 8 | an extremely surreal treat | I hadn't seen much of Malcolm McDowell's earlier work in films , only Clockwork Orange , so I was curious to see what else he'd done earlier on in his career , and along came " O Lucky Man ! " . What a great film . McDowell plays Michael Travis , a young man who works for a coffee company and due to circumstances ( of ... |
