I'm not sure what's crazier, nailing women's scalps to mannequins or having your own metal room in the basement where you can set people on fire (!!!) Reveal hidden contents Forgot to put it on the list but I got a real Monster feel from My Friend Dahmer, too. A Quiet Place was watched last night and unfortunately I mentally checked out when Reveal hidden contents the wife was seen to be pregnant. I understand the whole "repopulate the earth" idea, plus their guilt over the other kid dying, but bringing a child to birth in an environment dictated by silence struck me as completely stupid. They could have cut that entire subplot out and the film would have worked as well. As it is, a good film but that was a pretty big mark against it for me. Eh, I think the whole point was to show that the family wasn't going to allow the monsters to prevent them from continuing to function like a family should. The pure ingenuity of the father was breathtaking. He transformed nearly ever facet of his family's life to accommodate for the hunting methods of the creatures. That is survival instinct for your ass right there. The one part where I nearly checked out was: Spoiler The fucking nail in the step.

Return of the Living Dead is much better, has maximum Linnea Quigley if you know what I mean and would've given Joe Bob the chance to tell stories about Dan O'Bannon instead of David D.D. Cocktoe. Night of the Demons too although it should sadden all of you to know that Linnea's lipstick eating rack in that is only a prosthetic and not a special talent she possessed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FluffSnackwell Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Let us not forget the horrible 1980 bigfoot Night of the Demon where: Spoiler The sasquatch (a product of inbred devil worship because what in the shit else would he be?) :Rips off a biker's pee pee when he stops to take a leak by the side of the road. :Murders a couple of girl scouts by ripping off their arms and beating them to death with their own appendages.

MonteCarl Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I really did enjoy Quiet Place, but that nail in the step really takes me out of it. For one, in no build of any steps anywhere would a nail be pointing up like that in the middle of a step. It was not connected to anything. It was not holding the step to another board or another board to the step. And nobody would pound a nail in to a step from the bottom up. Second, up to that point, they went out of their way to show several instances of the mother being ever so careful about every movement she was making. If this same person did snag her laundry bag on "something" on the steps, she would not have just pulled so hard to have bent such a large nail straight up and then gone on her merry way. She would have quietly put the bag down and investigated more closely to see what the snag was and fixed it. Again, I did like the movie quite a bit, but that one point really stuck with me when I saw it in theaters, and I made sure to watch more closely when we more recently watched it at home. Still sticks out to me and bugs me to no end. Poor plot point to an otherwise really decent movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FluffSnackwell Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Might as well be thorough. Although neither The Church or The Sect featured demons..... Spoiler You got an ogre orgy and The Sect featured a Mothman-like bipedal crane impregnating Jamie Lee Curtis's sister with the Antichrist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 If Satan is technically a demon then The Church DEFINITELY had a demon in it. A fuckin' creepy one, at that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffSnackwell Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 It looked like Baphomet with a really bad complexion. I forgot where the hell I saw those things referred to as ogres though. Spoiler The other thing is that based on the orgy scene (technically not even an orgy but a bunch of possessed idiots gathered around two other possessed people humping on top of an altar)they were apparently nothing more than hallucinations since they only turned into creatures when somebody looked through the opening in the wall.

The urban myth that there is a longer edit of Suspiria was debunked long ago. Why make a version of Suspria that is unbearably longer than the first?
