Bride of Re-Animator (1989)
I.M.D.B.
Doctors Herbert West and Dan Cain discover the secret to creating human life and proceed to create a perfect woman from dead tissue.

Just as fucked up and bizarre as the first one. So much about this movie should be bad, but it all works in its own unique and brilliant way. An excellent film. Loved it!
9/10

THE FOG (1980). There are so many good qualities this Carpenter film has, but too many dull stretches to pad out the storyline and the film suffers as a result. **1/2

That's how I remember The Fog... some nicely shot horror sequences, but otherwise 80% is forgettably slow.

Raw Force [ aka Kung Fu Cannibals ] (1982) - 9.5/10


Some of the most wacked out shit I've ever seen. Loved it! Entertainment value through the roof. Everything you see on the poster happens in the movie.

Legend of Hell House

I didn't give this movie a fair go the first time around, I didn't give it most of my attention and I don't really remember it at all. It has my boy Roddy in it though so I have no problem watching it "again".

I loved it!

Oh and hey! If you follow along with the time stamps through out the movie, this ends up being a Christmas film. That was completely unintentional.

This is definitely my favorite Roddy movie! You know, I never thought about it being a Christmas movie, but, you're absolutely right!

I'm not a fan of "The Legend of Hell House", it's too similar to "The Haunting of Hill House", to the point that it feels like watching the same movie over and over again.

Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde (1971) - Classic Hammer film. Better than most.

Roddy is precious. I didn't even realize he played my favorite character from Planet of the Apes until very recently actually. How embarrassing!

See it's funny about being a Christmas movie because I've been wanting to get more in the Christmas spirit and watch a holiday film, but the two I know I have on VHS I just wasn't in the mood for so I stuck in LoHH. Imagine my surprise!

"The Haunting of Hill House"? That's a new one to me. I was thinking how much it was like "House on Haunted Hill", one of my favorite movies. I still loved this one though because they're both still very different films. HoHH you are never told for sure if the house was haunted because of Price and his wife's drama through the whole thing, you assume on and off that it is but it is never made clear. LoHH it is very clear there are ghosts about, and this house is indeed haunted. It's like the HoHH remake if that movie hadn't been complete garbage.

The Haunting of Hill House is a 1959 novel by author Shirley Jackson. The film The Haunting (1963) is a fairly faithful adaptation of the novel.

The film The Legend of Hell House (1973) is based on the American novel Hell House by Richard Matheson, who also wrote the screenplay.

Personally, I find the two films very different. They both deal with "investigating the supernatural" in a "haunted" mansion, but the tone is very different. Haunting is softer and psychological, where Hell House is very blunt.

RollinFan, you maybe thinking of Burnt Offerings (1976) by Dan Curtis being too like Hell House?
