Dark Ride

It was interesting, and a little bit goofy. This movie pissed me off so bad, because this setting is one of my favorites for a horror film! Don't get me wrong, it wasn't BAD or anything, but it had so much unfulfilled potential! It needed to be different, the buildup was great, and the atmosphere was really scary, but, it didn't work out right. The killer should have waited in position in parts of the ride and slashed them when they walked by or something. My main problem was that it showed what the killer was doing a lot, and that made it almost negative scary, because this one should have been based on fear, not as much what the killer was doing. All in all it was ok, but it was not *to die for*

7/10

I'll admit that my expectations were probably too high by that point, though

EDIT:...I was talking about City Of The WALKING Dead (AKA Nightmare City) here, which is Lenzi, not Fulci...Fulci's City Of The LIVING Dead is AKA Gates Of Hell, which we love...Sorry for the confusion...I REALLY need to start sleeping
I hope I cleared that up...I'm feeling quite a bit like a zombie lately...and NOT a Fulci or Lenzi zombie either...A very slow, lazy, brain dead, early Romero zombie...lol

Being stuck home sick can sometimes rock! In the last few days I've watched some old faves

Dead and Breakfast
Cemetery Man
The Prophecy
The Gate
Ghoulies
Gremlins

and some newer ones

Memories of Murder (great movie, but slow for the real gore types)
After Midnight (really, really dated and not terribly good)
Art of the Devil (worst dubbing ever)

Got another day on the couch coming up.

Sat down and watched "Mr. Sardonicus" for my cheerful morning viewing. Still a nice horror movie, still effective and warped. Nice digital remastering, sound was exceptionally clear, cool extras on the disc. William Castle rocks.

Eddie and the Cruisers
Very shoestring plot with a lot of musical sections making up most of the film. You could condense this movie into 3 minutes, but it would loose it's distinct feel. Great music, interesting movie.

Dark Ride
Wasted potential. Bits of it reminded me of a second-grade Ho1000C - but that might have been due to the heavy blue and red shades used in a majority of the scenes.

The Hills Have Eyes 2 (2007)

Fucking horrible. There wasn't a single likable character, logic was completely ignored and it may be the single most insulting depiction of our fighting mena and women I've ever seen. Sure they're the National Guard, butthese days that means you need to be ready for war, and if our troops were this retarded, we'd have been overrun decades ago.

That said, there was some pretty good gore and bonus points for the opening sequence...


************SPOILER*****************




















squirm-worthy child delivery scene complete with baby erupting from a prosthetic vagina... totally tasteless, it made me giggle a little and gave me false hope for a total gorefest.

******END SPOILER****





















So good gore plus shitty story and STUPID CHARACTERS =
