Repo'd 11-02-2015 02:32 PM

One of my many favorite Cronenberg films. The state of the art, deluxe high-rise where it all takes place is a grand place for some wicked doings. It helped the viewer feel trapped along with the building residents. And of course, Barbara Steele makes every thing she works on better.

Funny you should say that, I unearthed a few more VHS in the move. When i have a little time I'll run the titles by you and see what you like.


Buio Omega, 1979 Eurotrash at its eurotrashiest. This one's demented and delicious. Thanks to DeadbeatAtDawn for the reminder.

Silent Night, Bloody Night-1972. I enjoyed this very much.

Good! It's been a favorite of mine for ages. The whole cast and crew, Steele included, reads like a roster of my favorite horror humans. Belinda Balaski, Kevin McCarthy, Bradford Dillman, Heather Menzies, Dick Miller, Paul Bartel, directed by Joe Dante, fx by Rob Bottin, produced by Roger Corman...HOLY CRAP, I'm going home to watch this beauty right now!!

CHEERLEADER CAMP 1988

A training camp for cheerleaders becomes the setting for death and some mayhem and also some bad dreams.

It may not be as epic as Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman, but it's full of cheesy fun. 8)

Oh wow... I'm not entirely sure... I've been into them for so long. I remember the first one I bought myself was Cursed, pre-owned for $3 (I've since added over 30 titles to my collection). I was probably 11 or 12 at the time when I started really getting into lycanthropes. I had gotten into Harry Potter as most of my generation had, and I read Prisoner of Azkaban with its werewolf character. It's been a bit of a sickness ever since. I remember around that time being obsessed with Underworld and Van Helsing before having binged the classics online. I don't recall which I saw first though I'm afraid. My dad was a monster movie nut when he was young, and although he isn't into them near as much anymore, he still collects an occasional classic, so I remember watching a few with him.

House of Whipcord. What a wild little ride. Sheila Keith is always insanely watchable in her roles, and this part is no exception. Damn, she can menace!

I feel a more appropriate question in this case would be "what did I like about it?" Not because I have an issue with you asking, just because there are so many things about the movie that I disliked, I feel I could give a much more brief answer saying what I did like. So I will answer that...I liked what acting there was. I felt that given the situations these people were supposed to be performing in and the actions they were meant to be portraying, they did a great job. I kept thinking the whole time through the movie, "I hope these people got paid enough for this."

As for if you haven't seen it and would like to, www.shudder.com is a great place. I believe they still offer a two week trial. :o

The Legend of Hell House

Absolutely love the atmosphere. The ambient sounds and music sound much like some of my favorite Halloween sound tracks. The blood wasn't very good but the other effects used for scares were enjoyable and had me wondering if the place was really haunted at times.

And Roddy McDowell was enjoyable as ever. I think this was one of my favorite of his characters.

Yeah it’s definitely a good one that’s underrated. I really like the characters and performances, the black humour, the SFX work and the atmosphere that encapsulates it all.

So happy that you liked it! I've been fascinated by Close Encounters forever. So many wonderful moments and I love the energy of the film. Watching it, I feel like a wide eyed kid again.

Absolutely! A film that awes. Unfortunately, not many of them.

Dune (1984)
6/10


Exquisite set/costume design and music. Very intriguing start to story, but shortly after reaching planet Dune, seems to haste to conclusion, becoming more drudging & confusing, or otherwise purposeless, as it proceeds.

Sleepaway Camp (1983)
6/10


Some horribly simple dialogue, poor amateur acting and repetitive plodding scenes. Still, the two sibling leads carry the film with heart. Most of the revenge kills are imaginative & shot well; and has a gutsy twist ending.

Urban Cowboy (1980)
6.5/10


Interesting and mildly engaging romantic relationship film. It's shot, paced & acted well. But in many ways, even the happy ending is rather bleak.

Giganticface 11-21-2015 08:34 AM

House (1986)

Cheesy 80s horror comedy, kinda plays like a Disney movie. Billed as a haunted house flick, but really more of a creature feature, and a very rubbery one at that. I don't think I would ever watch it again (except maybe with my kids), but I can't fault it too much because it's actually pretty entertaining.

Watched on Screambox.

7/10

Check out Jodoworsky's Dune. I saw it recently, and found it very interesting.
