504,443 | 2,911,571 | 90,644 | 8 | A unique horror flick | Anguish is a unique horror movie when you can get past the premise that first , you're watching a movie , which becomes a bunch of people watching a movie , wherein yet another group of people are watching a movie . . . . . . eeek ! Zelda Rubenstein plays a rather domineering mother and her son ( Michael Lerner ) is a ... |
503,913 | 2,911,571 | 75,462 | 8 | DVD release of " Who Could Kill A Child ? " | This is a film that I'd been waiting to see for a very long time , and it's finally been released on DVD from Dark Sky Films . The DVD itself is very nice & the print is clean and clear . The story concerns a young couple who are on holiday in a coastal town ( Spain ? ) and are going to a remote island for the balance ... |
505,657 | 2,911,571 | 359,398 | 8 | Weird little British horror flick | First off , I bought this by accident , thinking of " Hellborn " which I'd read about & sounded interesting . This turned out to be a GOOD mistake though , and I really enjoyed it . First thing on the box that caught my attention was the name Dominique Pinon ( that's a guy , y'all ) . He's the strange little rubber-fac... |
504,658 | 2,911,571 | 94,924 | 8 | great drama about a tragic event ( minor spoilers ) | When the Chamberlain family is camping near Ayers Rock , Australia , Lindy Chamberlain ( Meryl Streep ) sees her baby being dragged out of their tent by a dingo and then begins an ordeal that no one should have to experience . For it seems like the dingo story is not believed by the public or the press , and the whole ... |
504,502 | 2,911,571 | 451,829 | 8 | Pull me | Funky Forest is kind of a stream-of-consciousness pastiche of skits and strange ( and sometimes mundane ) little stories . It goes on for about two and a half hours with an intermission , too , which consists of a nearly-blank screen and background music . We have two comedians ( of sorts ) who aren't very funny , on... |
504,607 | 2,911,571 | 292,886 | 8 | Another goody from De La Iglesia | This is a pretty fun film , especially if you like old spaghetti westerns , since this is about a place called Almeria in Spain where a lot of them were filmed and people who never managed to move on from that era still live there and run a sort of " wild west " town for tourists . One of those people happens to be the... |
504,296 | 2,911,571 | 91,083 | 8 | From Beyond , finally on DVD ! ! | I saw this at the cinema when it was first out , and have had it on VHS for a long time , but now , finally , the DVD has been released ( Unrated director's cut ) and it looks great . As for what's different in comparison to the version I've been used to , uh , I did notice a couple scenes but when one hasn't seen some... |
505,184 | 2,911,571 | 82,338 | 8 | video nasty in all its glory | The original version of " Escape 2000 " was banned in the UK ( under the title " Turkey Shoot " ) as part of the video nasty craze back in the 80's . Well , now you can see ( in the US , anyway ) Turkey Shoot in all its sleazy , cheesy glory . In Australia , in the near future , " deviants " are rounded up and taken to... |
505,434 | 2,911,571 | 434,179 | 8 | wonderfully creepy and strange | After a man kills himself in a subway corridor by driving a knife into his eye , a camera man becomes obsessed with finding what drove this man to that act . Masuoka ( as played by Shinya Tsukamoto ) ends up wandering through the subways and finding a labyrinth of underground tunnels and passages and even the mountains... |
504,416 | 2,911,571 | 59,496 | 8 | finally on DVD in the U . S . ! | I'm no Bette Davis fan , except when it comes to her later movies where she played rather creepy characters . In this film , she plays a nanny in a house where something bad happened a couple years previously , and now , young Joey , who has been " away " , is coming home . It seems that the young daughter in this fami... |
504,784 | 2,911,571 | 56,112 | 8 | good old-fashioned fairy tale with scary scenes for kids | Seems there's a lot of films that scared people as kids , and this seems to be one that people that grew up in the UK remember well . I personally had never seen it until yesterday , and while it's pretty mild for an adult , I can certainly see where it would scare the bejeezus out of the kids . Personally , Wizard of ... |
504,715 | 2,911,571 | 116,791 | 8 | Silly and messed up | This is one weird cookie of a movie , as it takes place in NYC yet everybody except a Slavic tourist ( Croat , Serb , ? ) speaks German . Most of the action takes place at Hotel Quickie , a sleazy " no tell hotel " where all manner of prostitutes of both sexes bring their Johns , and there's even a lounge where ex-cop ... |
504,097 | 2,911,571 | 209,485 | 8 | strange & chilling | Lily is a young lady about 14 who isn't well . And speaking of not well , there's her parents . Now dad has left to go somewhere , leaving mom in charge of the bed & breakfast that they run . Along comes a young man , a photographer , who thought that it would be nicer to stay at a bed & breakfast than a roadside motel... |
504,265 | 2,911,571 | 396,171 | 8 | Very different & rather long but well worth seeing ! | Jean-Baptiste Grenouille was born to a rather unexceptional mother , who gave birth to him under a table at a fish market in Paris , and since the rest of her children were still-born she left him there to be cleaned up with the rest of the mess later . However , Jean-Baptiste chose to live , and because of that , his ... |
504,774 | 2,911,571 | 51,834 | 8 | Way ahead of its time | Giants and Toys is a movie that is way ahead of its time . Made in 1958 , it uses words and phrases , and themes and ideas , that would have probably made American audiences of the time blanch . The story is that there are 3 caramel companies , Giant , World , and Apollo , and they're all in fierce competition with eac... |
505,136 | 2,911,571 | 66,819 | 8 | Love that Southern Hospitality | Clint Eastwood plays a wounded Union soldier found by a girl from a Confederate boarding school and he's taken in and nursed back to health instead of turned over to Confederate soldiers . Seems that the women-folk at this place have ulterior motives . Geraldine Paige , the headmistress , justifies not turning him into... |
505,426 | 2,911,571 | 1,050,160 | 8 | Ultra-violent cartoon-like gore / revenge flick is a real hoot ! | I bought this a couple weeks ago & for some reason put off watching it till yesterday . Had I known what this was like , I'd have certainly watched it the same day I got it . Ami is an ordinary schoolgirl , sort of , with a brother named Yu . Ami and Yu's parents committed suicide because they were framed for a murder ... |
505,347 | 2,911,571 | 139,564 | 8 | quietly creepy with a nasty finish | Sasha is a young woman who lives in an isolated cottage on an island , with her young daughter Sioffra , and her husband , when he's not traveling on business . Sasha is obviously missing her husband and finds it frustrating to not be able to reach him . She's obviously a bit bored with only the company of the child . ... |
504,179 | 2,911,571 | 79,482 | 8 | Eerie Australian flick | Long Weekend is sort of like " Day of the Animals " as done by Peter Weir ( think " Last Wave " and " Picnic At Hanging Rock " . But this is NOT a Peter Weir film , just so you understand that . A young couple heads to a seaside campsite to sort things out as their marriage isn't doing so well , and they're a couple of... |
504,479 | 2,911,571 | 66,863 | 8 | early 70's horror with good atmosphere | I would probably say this was on a par with films like " Devil's Rain " and that sort of film , although this is probably a bit better made . I love 70's horror and this has most of the elements that make up other movies I like so it was pretty easy to enjoy . A family on their vacation stumble across a small town wher... |
504,503 | 2,911,571 | 66,849 | 8 | An inescapable feeling of dread throughout . . . . . | This was one of my favorite films when I was younger & it was on the late-night " Creature Features " circuit . I've just gotten this on DVD and I have found that it is still a fairly powerful film , to me . A young man , Ralph , uncovers the remains of something while plowing a field , and he's frightened by what he's... |
504,674 | 2,911,571 | 66,848 | 8 | creepy , disturbing , and unfortunately , obscure | At the beginning of this film you see a hammer carried through a house , quietly , carefully , and into a bedroom , where a man and woman lie in bed , and as the carrier of the hammer gets closer to the bed , the hammer is turned to make best use of the claw , and then , of course , you know what happens next . . . it ... |
504,730 | 2,911,571 | 385,752 | 8 | just keep repeating to yourself . . . . it's only a movie , it's only a movie . . . . | I received an email ( one of those internet things that goes around from person to person ) telling me this movie should be boycotted because of the values & morals it would instill in young people . So , of course , I went to see it with a friend & his son ( 4 years old ) and I thoroughly enjoyed it . I also saw nothi... |
505,007 | 2,911,571 | 319,728 | 8 | Watch what you watch | My first thought when I started watching this was that it was a pretty blatant rip-off of Man Bites Dog , but it is and it isn't . Man Bites Dog is more aimed at dark humor , whereas this is just more dark . Plus , in Man Bites Dog , the victims were just victims , never dinner . A wedding photographer gets his kicks b... |
504,770 | 2,911,571 | 67,017 | 8 | They don't make them like this anymore . . . . . . | And for that you can be glad ? Oh no , this has a certain scuzzy charm to it that may be only appealing to bad movie fans like myself , but I think this is a rather fun , if messy , movie . Messy being that it's by Al Adamson so therefore you know it's quality . And what exactly is this about ? Well , a mad doctor , he... |
505,412 | 2,911,571 | 277,605 | 8 | Woody and Bee's Violent Adventure | Bio Zombie is kind of a ' Bill & Ted ' meet " Dawn of the Dead " , Hong Kong-style , and it's actually a pretty decent little film . Zombies are created from drinking spiked soda . Looks like this is something that the Iraqis were selling to the Japanese military so it is possible that George W . Bush was onto somethin... |
504,709 | 2,911,571 | 94,793 | 8 | Silly and nasty and from Frank Henenlotter , so what do you expect ? | If you're not familiar with Basket Case or Frankenhooker , there's a good chance you shouldn't start out with " Brain Damage " if you are curious about the films of Frank Henenlotter . I'd suggest that if you haven't already seen any of his films start out with Basket Case and THEN if you're still willing check out Bra... |
504,465 | 2,911,571 | 101,477 | 8 | Pretty good vam . . . . Carpathian-American Movie | Don't call us vampires , that's such an ugly word , says Harry Martin , Carpathian-American and news reporter . Of course Harry Martin isn't his real name but he uses that for by-lines and such . A young man is awakened from what he thinks is a dream only to find that his parents have been killed by members of SCAV , s... |
504,430 | 2,911,571 | 319,531 | 8 | great crime thriller , British-style ( minor spoilers ) | Will ( Clive Owen ) was apparently a big man in the London underworld of crime , who had given up all he had to go out into the woods & work as a laborer . When his younger brother , Davey ( Jonathan Rhys Meyers ) kills himself , Will doesn't know about it but something has drawn him back to London and when he finds ou... |
504,836 | 2,911,571 | 59,637 | 8 | A " must see " for fans of bad films | Don't ask me why I love the films of Ray Dennis Steckler , but I do . It all started many years ago when I saw " Incredibly Strange Creatures . . . " on TV and I've been a fan ever since . At any rate , this one is a doozy , a fine example of the twisted output of Mr . Steckler's mind . Now in the DVD's recently releas... |
504,892 | 2,911,571 | 59,643 | 8 | Polish Spaniards and other strange tales | This is a rather long but hypnotic film of a Walloon soldier during the Napoleanic wars who seeks to get to Madrid , and encounters many strange people and situations along the way . This is a very surreal film and seems to be somewhat along the lines of Baron Munchausen as channeled through Luis Bunuel or something , ... |
505,329 | 2,911,571 | 67,055 | 8 | Finally on DVD but . . . . | Equinox is a movie that apparently a lot of people saw a long time ago , when they were kids , and remember it well and fondly . I myself had merely read about it since it's been pretty much unavailable for a long time and I was happy to find that it was finally on DVD , but . . . forty bucks for a Criterion version ? ... |
504,961 | 2,911,571 | 75,656 | 8 | ridiculously enjoyable junk | Don Dohler , from the same territory as John Waters , made cheesy and ridiculous science fiction except . . . . it's not really all that bad . Oh , he's still around , he still puts out some stuff but it was ever so much better back in the old days before he discovered bad CGI . Alien Factor is a tale of a spaceship th... |
504,566 | 2,911,571 | 75,666 | 8 | messy & nasty | Another " forgotten gem " from Moctezuma , one in which two young ladies that live at a convent are possessed and cause a bit of havoc , to say the least . Justine comes to live at the convent & is befriended by Alucarda , and as they're romping through the countryside around the convent they encounter a strange gypsy ... |
505,580 | 2,911,571 | 75,679 | 8 | nasty and offensive black comedy | This is ( I guess ) known as " Andy Warhol's Bad " but there's not much evidence of his involvement in the credits , nor does Paul Morrisey's name seem to be there either . However , despite all that this manages to be quite the nasty little romp anyway . A woman who does electrolysis out of her Queens home is also run... |
504,406 | 2,911,571 | 125,659 | 8 | excellent mind-bending Spanish thriller | This an excellent mind-bending Spanish thriller , and never tips its hand as to what's going on till almost the very end . A handsome young man who is a partner in a catering service is very well to do and can have any woman he wants . That is , until one that he's decided he doesn't want ( Nuria ) takes him for the ( ... |
505,119 | 2,911,571 | 293,113 | 8 | Another weird excursion from Guy Madden | This is probably the only version of Dracula as performed by a ballet troupe which also contains a woman's head being removed by a shovel . OK , don't get too excited , it's not THAT graphic , but it is pretty strange , to say the very least . Dracula as performed by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet , with Dracula being a gen... |
504,596 | 2,911,571 | 316,187 | 8 | One sucker at a time | Lollilove is a Troma release , and the first thing that struck me about it was that it contained no obnoxious lead-in from Lloyd Kaufman , which was a big plus right there , because he's pretty much about the most annoying human being on the planet any more . But right into this " mockumentary " we go , and it's about ... |
505,317 | 2,911,571 | 396,041 | 8 | Not at all what I expected . . . . . . but not at all bad | I truly was not sure what to expect of a film in which 4 actors try out for the part of Jesus , get rejected , and then go on a cross country odyssey on motorcycles . Anything this film may have borrowed from other movies along the way is lost on me , in other words it may be original in its own twisted way . Now , the... |
505,353 | 2,911,571 | 425,112 | 8 | Great fun from the " Shaun of the Dead " team | Sargeant Nicholas Angel ( Simon Pegg ) has an astounding police record in London , and he's making his co-workers look bad . For that , he's assigned to the village of Sandford , where all is quiet and idyllic . Or is it ? It seems that there's some " accidents " taking place with several of the town's people , and tha... |
505,161 | 2,911,571 | 399,934 | 8 | a bit nastier than expected | I had seen some good reviews of this and found a used copy yesterday so I grabbed it , and then kind of cringed when I saw it was released by Showtime , I figured it would be some bland " wanna be " horror film , but I was ( un ) pleasantly surprised . It's more horror than anything else , and I'd say probably NOT much... |
505,180 | 2,911,571 | 51,937 | 8 | What black pit ? | I guess I'm a bit confused by the American title of this film since it seems to have nothing to do with a pit , but this is still a good and interesting film . I'm rather a sucker for late 50's / early 60's Mexican horror movies , and am always glad to find a good one I haven't seen before . This is pretty heavy on the... |
505,628 | 2,911,571 | 385,639 | 8 | One of those " must be seen to be believed " films . . . . . | OK , it's easy not to confuse this with the lame Stuart Gordon movie called " Death Bed " that came out a few years back , because this one is " The Bed That Eats " . And how do I even begin to describe this ? Well , for starters , obviously there is a bed that eats . This is as a result of demon teardrops , which of c... |
504,731 | 2,911,571 | 82,269 | 8 | unique & stylish oddball French thriller | There's almost so much going on in " Diva " that it's hard to describe , but I'll give it a try . There's a young postman ( Jules ) who is an opera fan , who has managed to tape his favorite singer , Cynthia Hawkins . There are Taiwanese bootleggers who are on his tail . There's also a cassette tape that was dropped in... |
503,994 | 2,911,571 | 457,275 | 8 | interesting to see that Blair Witch wasn't just a fluke | Eduardo Sanchez , the director of the Blair Witch Project , hasn't done anything after that until this , and while I was sort of expecting to be disappointed , I was pleasantly surprised how good this was . This film begins with some men hunting something in a rural area , and you realize what they're hunting are alien... |
504,300 | 2,911,571 | 75,999 | 8 | good Spanish horror-sleaze fest | A man and his wife , out for an drive , meet up with another couple where the man claims to know the husband ( Andres ) from school , although Andres can't recall the other man . At any rate the young couple is invited to the other couple's house to " celebrate " although to celebrate what isn't clear . Of course this ... |
503,964 | 2,911,571 | 116,729 | 8 | Interesting Dutch movie about a dress ? | This is an odd little Dutch movie about a dress , which seems to be the bearer of bad luck for all who come into contact with it . First a man loses his job because he doesn't agree with the choice of design ( it's a pretty blue with an odd leaf design ) . Then a woman who buys it becomes ill , and when the dress is ha... |
505,000 | 2,911,571 | 59,311 | 8 | Esperanto ? | OK , let's first scare away all the non-adventurous types by saying this film is in Esperanto with Subtitles , and it's from 1965 and in black & white . It does have Captain Kirk in it but he's too busy trying to master Esperanto to emote very much , I guess . OK , having said that , this was quite a nice surprise , be... |
504,734 | 2,911,571 | 59,297 | 8 | Enjoyable William Castle effort is more fun than scary | Two teenage girls and one's younger sister are left alone for an evening and get up to mischief with the phone , making prank calls to people for fun . Unfortunately , " I saw what you did and I know who you are " didn't set too well with one Steve Marak ( John Ireland ) who had just killed his girlfriend . Steve's nei... |
504,604 | 2,911,571 | 80,354 | 8 | One of the old-time urban legends in all its glory | This takes the old urban legend of alligators living in the city sewer and turns it into a fun and sometimes gory movie .

504,098 | 2,911,571 | 180,631 | 8 | They don't mingle , they schmooze . . . . . . . | Hey now , this is a low budget horror comedy , and while that generally puts me off ( the horror comedy part ) I stumbled across this because it was cheap and found it to be pretty damn funny , not to mention well done considering the budget limitations . With the right budget this could have been awesome . As it stand... |
504,203 | 2,911,571 | 380,687 | 8 | far better than I expected | I had heard about this on a local radio show back around Halloween but the price tag on the new DVD kept me from picking it up , but I did find a used copy and snagged it yesterday and watched it last night and was surprised at how good it was . A young boy & his mom are on the way to pick up his sister at the ferry fr... |
504,452 | 2,911,571 | 75,913 | 8 | stick with the TV master version | OK , so this was one of my favorite 70's TV movies that I saw way back when and guess what ? I still like it , and when I first saw it I had no inkling who William Girdler was . . . . what , you don't know either ? Well , OK . . anyway , this just came out on DVD from the folks at Shriek Show , whose DVD's are pretty h... |

After that , his wife ( Sue ) and da... |
504,817 | 2,911,571 | 250,617 | 8 | excellent but not exactly uplifting | This is an excellent film that was evidently made on a low budget but still comes off very well . A man , just released from prison , finds out his old partner has gone straight and has a real job . Considering that these guys have to be about 60 or so that's probably not a bad thing . When these two guys get back to t... |
504,878 | 2,911,571 | 75,930 | 8 | Yeah , sure he did , buddy . . . . | A random set of murders in NYC can only be attributed to one thing : All the assailants say that " God Told Them To " . So of course , they had to listen . Tony Lo Bianco is a good cop on the case and trying to figure out what's going on . There is a common thread in these killings and it's something to do with some gu... |

He begins a search for others but finds no one . Seems that Zac is a scientist involved in something called " Project Flashlight " and that may be responsible for why there's no other people . He begins broadcasting f... |

Quantine . . . . . | I have now seen both rec and its remake , Quarantine , which I saw on the big screen , and I have to wonder why Quantine is considered to be inferior ? I liked both , and in watching rec last evening , it seems like the feel is a bit different , maybe more raw & spontaneous , but apart from that , I think they're both ... |

505,380 | 2,911,571 | 782,399 | 8 | Not bad as recent " Masters of Horror " go | I don't have cable so I don't get the station that features " Masters of Horror " , obviously , but I have to say that the DVD's I've seen of the second season pale in comparison to those of the first . " Family " , starring George Wendt , though , is not bad , in fact it's a decent enough dark comedy . Wendt plays Har... |
505,210 | 2,911,571 | 63,206 | 8 | despite its limitations it's an excellent sci-fi movie | I read where this is available on DVD now outside the US , thanks to Quentin Tarrantino's reference in " Kill Bill " , and Quentin's from right here in the USA , so why isn't it available HERE ? Whatever happened to his " Rolling Thunder " label ? ? But thanks to the wonders of technology I have it anyway , and I have ... |
505,662 | 2,911,571 | 238,924 | 8 | great " coming of age " film | Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys is a pretty good coming of age film , with 4 Catholic schoolboys that are devoted to comics & mischief composing their very own " comic book " , The Atomic Trinity .

503,969 | 2,911,571 | 59,199 | 8 | Awesome drive-in junk , now on DVD ! | Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster is now out on DVD ! I have yearned to see this movie for so long and now it's on DVD and I watched it last night and I was quite happy to now have it in my collection . But , be forewarned , this movie is best enjoyed by fans of schlock horror and science fiction , the kind like dri... |
504,689 | 2,911,571 | 301,163 | 8 | Low key , low budget , and disturbing | A small group of young women in London ( I guess , it never really says , but it's SOME large British city ) band together to protect each other as they unwillingly change into flesh eaters . Now , there's always someone stalking them , and as soon as they feel they've been discovered they move on to some other abandon... |
503,870 | 2,911,571 | 59,170 | 8 | Honey , we don't like nothing soft . . . | Faster , Pussycat is wonderful go-go 60's trash and if you haven't seen this you can now own it on DVD . It's not cheap though but the quality is just fine . We have 3 exotic dancers that go to the desert to race and raise hell & when they meet up with some " squares " they end up killing the guy and kidnapping the gir... |
504,070 | 2,911,571 | 235,198 | 8 | How to not pick up girls | This is a Takashi Miike film , so you know it's chock full of weirdness and ugliness , and yet still beautiful in some ways . Now it's gone out of print in the US and another import version ( Chinese or Japanese ) is available in NTSC format , and it's fine if you don't mind somewhat literal subtitles , obviously writt... |
504,887 | 2,911,571 | 165,297 | 8 | strange but worthwhile short film | This short film is without dialog , as are the other two short films on this DVD featuring the works of Nacho Cerda . It's about a man , who is a sculptor , who lost his wife in a car accident and is set on creating a statue of her . At some point though , the statue begins to bleed , and is seemingly coming to life , ... |
504,046 | 2,911,571 | 93,393 | 8 | dark , disturbing , surreal , creepy , shall I go on ? | This is only the second Derek Jarman film I've seen , the other being " Jubilee " which is one of my all time favorites . This one is quite different though , as it seems to portray the dark side of life in England under then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher . There's plenty of life on the fringes , with drug use and j... |
505,142 | 2,911,571 | 457,430 | 8 | Awesome adult " fairy tale " | Pan's Labyrinth brings to mind Guillermo Del Toro's other Spanish Civil War film , Devi'ls Backbone , because it's a film mostly from a child's point of view and it also incorporates the supernatural , or in this instance , it's more a young girl's obsession with fantasy , to deal with life during war . The young girl ... |
504,911 | 2,911,571 | 169,299 | 8 | Thoroughly depraved & disgusting & I love it | If you're easily offended , stop here & go read something else , because even if you're NOT easily offended you'll probably find Terror Firmer a little tough to squirm through at times . Just keep in mind that all the vomit , blood , and distribution of basic bodily function material are all meant in a good natured way... |
505,046 | 2,911,571 | 59,043 | 8 | Stalkers have been around for a long time , I guess . . . . . . | Even in proper Great Britain in the 60's , there were stalkers , and this one , mild-mannered young Freddie , collects himself a lovely specimen ( much in the same way he does butterflies ) in Samantha Eggar , whom he places in a lovingly constructed dungeon in his lonely country house he bought after winning a huge fo... |
504,499 | 2,911,571 | 363,240 | 8 | a very strange treat | I'm no fan of the Flaming Lips , although I have heard their music for years . I was drawn to this , however , because I like odd Christmas films & this is about as odd as you can get . We have a settlement on Mars where it's Christmas eve , and the personnel there are getting a bit loony , and starting to see things ,... |
505,431 | 2,911,571 | 11,237 | 8 | creepy German silent film | The Golem is a creature fashioned from clay to protect the Jewish Ghetto in old-time Germany , after the emperor has threatened the community's expulsion due to various trumped-up charges , although one of those charges seems to be conjurations ? No matter , they conjure him up anyway , or at least Rabbi Loew does , an... |
504,150 | 2,911,571 | 266,308 | 8 | Wild stuff | In the near future in Japan , with unemployment at a record high and students boycotting classes , we find an unfortunate group of kids that are on their class trip at the end of their compulsory education , who end up on a deserted island , pitted against each other to the last one standing . It's amazing how quickly ... |
504,718 | 2,911,571 | 72,392 | 8 | Vintage 70's cannibal horror with Lou Rawls singing . . . ? | I got this on DVD from Movies Unlimited , it was a bit pricey but i like this movie enough to have done this and I was not disappointed by the quality , which isn't top notch but light-years better than a bootleg I had bought online a couple years ago . It's a region 0 version and I checked the company on the back whic... |
505,536 | 2,911,571 | 120,714 | 8 | Great little oddball Aussie flick | Hey now , this is one odd little Australian movie , that reminded me a bit of " The Usual Suspects " but without that movie's excess & the ensemble cast . We have a unemployed gentleman that is rudely awakened by a goon squad that breaks down his door and hauls him and a bunch of his possessions off to the police depar... |
504,169 | 2,911,571 | 457,572 | 8 | The 1950's re-written , with zombies | What if , many years ago , there was a radiation problem that caused the dead to come back to life ? And what if , to alleviate that problem , all cities and town in the US were surrounded by chain-link fences to keep the zombies out so they could live more-or-less normal lives ? And what if , with the help of Zomcom ,... |
504,500 | 2,911,571 | 59,125 | 8 | One of my favorite horror anthologies | Dr . Terror's House Of Horrors involves 6 men who occupy a train car . The last arrival is one Dr . Schreck ( Cushing ) who brings with him a deck of tarot cards & after he's accidentally ( maybe ) spilled them onto the floor , he's asked to do a reading for one of the men , after which the rest are drawn into the ga... |
505,504 | 2,911,571 | 76,162 | 8 | Absolutely bizarre " lost " film is well worth seeking out | Hausu ( AKA House ) from 1977 , is one of the strangest Japanese ( or otherwise ) films I've ever laid eyes on . Seems like a young girl and her friends go to visit the young girl's aunt in a big old house in the middle of nowhere , and auntie is not quite what she seems . You see , auntie was to have gotten married ... |
504,935 | 2,911,571 | 54,668 | 8 | Brainiac Rules ! | I first saw this film when I was just a little kid and it scared the hell out of me . It's too laughable and hokey to do that now but it does still have an unexplainable charm to it . This is a Mexican film made in the early 60's and involves a man being executed for doing bad things back in 1661 , while a comet passes... |
503,881 | 2,911,571 | 59,095 | 8 | Enjoyably strange | Marcello Mastroianni & Ursula Andress play cat and mouse in this weird little Italian movie , a kind of " Most Dangerous Game " Italian-style , with odd little trendy ( for the time ) things thrown in everywhere . To prevent wars there is now a Bureau of The Hunt , or something like that , where people are assigned as ... |
505,563 | 2,911,571 | 63,255 | 8 | astoundingly fun bad film with great scenery and green monsters | I bought this DVD TWO years ago & forgot I had it till I was rummaging and found it , and watched it last evening . Was I disappointed ? HELL no , this was great . It's got John Ashley & Angelique Pettyjohn as people come to a small island in search of her father & it's also got these . . . things , lurking around on t... |
504,988 | 2,911,571 | 475,984 | 8 | Strange , sometimes beautiful , and will haunt you afterward | I wanted to see this in the theater when it was released , but unfortunately it didn't play around here , and really , I didn't know it was out on DVD either till I stumbled across a used copy at my favorite local store . This is a very strange film for Harmony Korinne , almost more strange than " Gummo " or " Julien D... |
505,351 | 2,911,571 | 103,327 | 8 | Iria and Bob to the rescue | Zeiram is a fun Japanese sci-fi film about bounty hunter Iria and her computer , Bob . They have come to earth to capture one Zeiram , who is rather hard to describe . It's rather like the Incredible Hulk carved out of stone , with a tiny mask-like face inset in a hat-like thing on top of the body . But while the tiny ... |
505,581 | 2,911,571 | 63,240 | 8 | very weird but not bad | This is a rather strange film about a ship that has illegal cargo and passengers too . The illegal cargo is something that blows up when it gets wet , and the passengers are all shady types with things to hide , so that's probably not a good combo right there . Of course there's a big storm and the ship gets lost and i... |
504,453 | 2,911,571 | 76,150 | 8 | excellent little horror-mystery flick | This movie always seems to get rather poor ratings , and I guess I don't understand why , because it is a great little flick . A withdrawn young girl is jealous of her younger sister and her upcoming communion , and therefore she is always doing things to upset her . But did she kill her right before communion ? Someon... |
505,321 | 2,911,571 | 68,370 | 8 | classic low-budget early 70's low budget horror | I saw this back in the early 80's on some late night horror show like Creature Features ( KTVU , Oakland ! ) and I loved it , and just watched it on DVD last night and it stands the test of time . Not that it isn't dated , oh my , the fashions of the day , striped trousers , etc . Talk about scary . The story is that a... |
505,310 | 2,911,571 | 422,419 | 8 | Oh good , more comparisons to Shaun of the Dead | Despite the fact that there was a comparison to " Shaun of the Dead " on the cover of this , I watched it anyway . In fact , the blurb said it was " Better than Shaun of the Dead " . Well , since everything these days is " all that and a bag of chips " no matter how bad it is , I was pleasantly surprised that this was ... |
504,423 | 2,911,571 | 165,078 | 8 | Interesting , but drags a bit towards the end | This begins as a bunch of office workers in a drab old building are assigned their work for the week , and in the front of the building you see the clients drifting in from a fog , and going to the receptionist and being told to take their place in the lobby . Then you realize that the people that are showing up there ... |
504,460 | 2,911,571 | 68,361 | 8 | Weird Dreams and Weird Realities | This is only my second film by Luis Bunuel , if you don't count " Un Chien Andalou " with Salvador Dali . I didn't like it quite as much as " Phantom of Liberty " but it's probably on a par with that film . Seems that there are a group of closely knit wealthy folks that are always trying to get together for dinner but ... |
505,250 | 2,911,571 | 93,608 | 8 | charming romantic comedy | Nekromantik can be taken as sort of a romantic comedy , I suppose , of the darkest , sickest kind , perhaps . We have a man who works on a clean-up crew , showing up to road accidents and such and taking discreet opportunities to collect little bits and pieces of bodies for his collection at home , and his wife or girl... |
505,505 | 2,911,571 | 409,904 | 8 | not as awesome as " Night Watch " but still pretty awesome | I have to say I thought very highly of " Night Watch " and I wasn't disappointed in this sequel , but I'd say despite the HIGHLY imaginative effects it's a bit more confusing and not quite as good as the first . Still , it wipes the floor with most American releases of late . I can't say I fully understand everything g... |
504,188 | 2,911,571 | 58,997 | 8 | good little thriller but why so obscure ? | I'd never heard of this movie till recently and it's not even in any of my movie books , which I thought was strange because it has rather big-name stars in the cast and a first rate director , AND it's a great little thriller . A little girl disappears on her first day of school and nobody seems to have seen her . As ... |
504,441 | 2,911,571 | 338,095 | 9 | Packs a mean punch ( maybe minor spoilers ) | High Tension seems to literally be flying off the shelves as I had a hard time finding a copy once I set my mind to it . But find it I did , and I watched it last night and it is one mean nasty horror movie . Two young girls go to one's parent's home in the country , for the weekend , to rest up and study . While there... |
505,568 | 2,911,571 | 210,302 | 9 | effective and creepy art / horror from Tsukamoto | With the exception of his little knock-off horror / comedy " Hiruko The Goblin " , I have loved all films I've seen by Shinya Tsukamoto and this is probably one of his best . It takes a while to understand what's going on , but the build-up is quite good and is creepy , bordering on disturbing . A doctor and his wife a... |
