That was Hellraiser 4 Bloodlines-not my fave but I liked it and think it is underrated. I thought it was batter than parts 3,5,6,8, 9 but not seen Revelations yet I'm too scared too.

Jigsaw Killer 07-24-2012 09:30 PM

How about anthology movies to add to the list? Here's some anthologies and my picks for the best in each:


Creepshow - The Crate

Creepshow 2 - The Hitchhiker

Tales From The Hood - Hardcore Convert

Tales From The Darkside: The Movie - Lot 249

Fearonsarms 07-26-2012 02:07 AM

I can never remember the titles of particular segments of anthology movies so all I can think of is:
Three Extremes-Dumplings

Jigsaw Killer 07-26-2012 08:15 PM

I think I saw Three Extremes but don't remember it well.

There were three segments I think they were called Cut, Box and Dumplings but I may be wrong was awhile since I saw it. But Dumplings stood out by a mile.

Jigsaw Killer 07-28-2012 07:33 PM

I need to see it again to refresh my memory, I absolutely don't remember those.

Worth giving it another try-let us know what you think when you see it. I would recommend you watch them in the order of Box first (Takashi Miike's film if I've got the title wrong) then Cut and end on a high with Dumplings. :)

Edit: I just read Staal's thread and it was called Box so yeah start with that one.

Jigsaw Killer 07-29-2012 03:19 PM

I'll try to track it down. I always enjoy a good anthology.

Definitely :) I've even watched some terrible recent films that he's had a cameo in just so I could see him. They were so bad I can't even remember what they were called :)

They've even made a movie about us:

Jigsaw Killer 08-10-2012 09:28 AM

I got to see the Re-Animator series one day, always wanted to give them a look.

Also thought about adding the Universal and Hammer series to the list, those are good ones to add for sure.

Friday the 13th - original

Jigsaw Killer 08-13-2012 07:25 PM

Of the movies of the [REC]/Quarantine series I've seen, I probably like [REC] 2 the most. That could be a good series to add to the list.

I liked that one the most too. It took the movie in a whole new direction and made the first one better. Plus it didnt have the stigma of the American shot for shot remake.

Jigsaw Killer 08-15-2012 06:43 PM

I really liked how [REC2] was literally set right after the first movie and in the same timeframe. I love that kind of tight continuity in a sequel.

Me too I thought it worked well with Halloween and Halloween 2 (the originals) too :)

Jigsaw Killer 08-17-2012 01:40 PM

I love that as well. It's always cool when a sequel has that tight a connection to a previous movie.

Oh and of course there's Hellraiser and Hellraiser 2:Hellbound. As much as I adore Hellraiser, I found the sequel to be darker, deeper and scarier and so is my personal fave in the hellraiser series :)

Kenneth Cranham is absolutely fantastic in Hellbound ,such a great horror character
" The mind is a labyrinth, ladies and gentlemen, a puzzle. And while the paths of the brain are plainly visible, its ways deceptively apparent, its destinations are unknown. Its secrets still secret. And, if we are honest, it is the lure of the labyrinth that draws us to our chosen field to unlock those secrets. Others have been here before us and have left us signs, but we, as explorers of the mind, must devote our lives and energies to going further to tread the unknown corridors in order to find ultimately, the final solution. We have to see, we have to know..."
