BrianS81177 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I would've been more impressed with Cabin Fever: The Musical. Hey if there can be an Evil Dead musical.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I maintain that I want a film adaptation of Evil Dead the Musical more than I want most horror movies. But that's mostly because it's been years since I saw it last and I could watch it daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Please don't mention that damn musical again. The most embarrassing thing I've ever seen. I have been accused of taking things too seriously but that... that was just... ugh. Maybe I don't understand theater too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must watch this schlock on the big screen. A zombie film done like a Cops-style reality show, including commercials, just might make me want to watch something that's 'found footage'. NOROI: The Curse, man. It is your found footage miracle film if you can deal with the crazy cultural thing. Also, REC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 As big as a Japanophile as I am I never got into the Japanese ghost stuff... that looks pretty good from the trailer, though. Ghost movies in general have always been problematic to me. There's a handful that are clockwork perfect and totally immerse me (The Haunting, Legend of Hell House, Burnt Offerings) and then everything else is just of little to no interest.

J.T. Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 My favorite ghost movies in no particular order: Ring Pulse The Devil's Backbone The Haunting The Innocents The Others Legend of Hell House The Fog Shutter And to be fair, NOROI is more of a evil kami / demon movie. Not really a classic onryo film like Ring or Ju-On. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I still really, really need to see The Innocents. My other big pick is The Changeling, which is so somber, aside from that one scene... Also I never thought about it but totally The Fog! Leave it Carpenter to make a ghost movie I absolutely worship.

stro Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 For what it's worth, I have uploaded both seasons of Freddy's Nightmares for streaming and download. https://legitshook.squarespace.com/movies/freddys-nightmares-1988-1990 There are a handful of pretty solid episodes, as far as ultra low budget syndicated anthology horror goes. As far as I can tell, it isn't streaming anywhere online. Ain't no one care about Freddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Dude it's on El Rey. They're airing a Freddy marathon with the first five Nightmares and a whole pile of the series on Valentine's Day. In other news, Child's Play is still awesome and I never recognized the end theme over the credits is so Philip Glass-in-Candyman (both films are set in Chicago, too!).

A couple of episodes on El Rey isn't the same as "watch the whole series whenever". I can't believe the run on Chiller never got uploaded online. All the videos online appear to be original VHS rips or super low quality rips from when AOL was briefly streaming it in like....2006. I don't even think the DVD releases made it online. Also a ton of people don't have El Rey. I was just trying to be helpful to those that might want to see the show and not go to torrent sites.

nate Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Watched "Descent" for the first time in a long while, and Neil Marshall has such a good turnout of genre films to have such a limited filmography. This inspired me to watch "Descent Part 2." Can't advise this. It's stinky shitty poo. I don't know if it's the fact that the Col. Sanders sheriff makes it through so much of the film when he's such a fuckhead ... ... the following analogy - people swing on ropes/chains/etc. : "Van Helsing" :: blood gushing into mouths : "Descent Part 2" ... ... the plothole from the first film - "Where do those goblins shit?" - is tied up nicely ... ... the last third of this film is built on a fucking lie, because no way Juno lived through the ending of Descent Part 1 ... ... I mean, seriously; no fucking way ... ... after galavanting through these fucking caves and seeing how difficult it is by himself, and given that, once reunited, Sarah ain't getting too far away from him in the best of circumstances, Col. Sanders' solution to keeping an eye on Sarah is to handcuff himself to her ... ... and that ending, that fucking ending ... ... plus, I'm disappointed we didn't somehow get the hackneyed revelation that the goblins are REALLY HUMANS!!! What a shoo-shoo movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingus Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 "that fucking ending" is really the only way to react to the rage-inducing finish of The Descent 2. SO motherfucking terrible. And really, the whole movie is pretty rubbishy, filled with impossible contrivances and lots of direct contradictions to the first film's established canon. It's not often that you find a sequel which both metaphorically AND LITERALLY shits all over the original movie. And yeah, why hasn't Neil Marshall ever done anything nearly as great as The Descent? I mean, Dog Soldiers was pretty good, but it's nowhere near the same level; and I thought Centurion and especially Doomsday were awfully disappointing. Really, his second-best directorial achievement is probably the "Blackwater" episode on Game of Thrones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 The Descent is a favorite of mine and I don't hate the second as much as I did upon the initial viewing. I don't know the story behind the production, but it strikes me as one of those movies the studio ordered a sequel to based on the original's success, regardless of how the first film ended or what the creators had in mind for any further story. I thought Doomsday could have been fleshed out a little more in certain scenes and that they tried to cram a few too many genres/references into one. Centurion struck me as having some good ideas, but couldn't really bring them all together. He's got a sequel to Dog Soldiers in the works which could prove to be good. Probably the wrong thread, but I see he has credits to some episodes of "Black Sails" under his belt. Is that show worth watching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.K.o.S. Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 http://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/death-house-expendables-of-horror/ A new horror film will unite all of the icons of the genre in one epic, bloody fight for survival, similar to the lassoing in of action legends in The Expendables franchise. Dubbed Death House, the movie will focus on the “Area 51 of evil,” where a government facility holds all of humanity’s worst death-dealers underground. Who are they? You’ll probably recognize a bunch of icons from movies like A Nightmare on Elm Street and Re-Animator: Robert Englund, Danny Trejo, Michael Berryman, Kane Hodder, Dee Wallace, Bill Moseley, Barbara Crampton, Doug Bradley, Ken Foree, Camille Keaton and Don Shanks, among others. Gunnar Hansen, the face of Leatherface in the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, was set to be in the film before he passed away last November from pancreatic cancer. Hansen wrote the script before he died, while Harrison Smith is set to direct the mayhem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
