It was creepy and pretty tense, although the idea of a lone couple getting terrorised by masked intruders isn't a new one (was thinking of "Vacancy" primarily) and afew older horror movie cliches were used.

7/10 overall, worth a watch

Strangers was awesome! I really liked that one.

Friday night, I watched Zombie Town on the Chiller Channel... what a piece of ****. That movie was horrible... noteable theft from Night of the Creeps.

I think I have "Trailerpark of Terror" and Cronenberg's "The Brood" coming next.

Added. Thanks for the recommendation. Looks good!

I should have left for dead on mon bro, we'll have to play a few rounds

Beware the kung-fu priest LOL!!

I was kinda freaked out the first time I saw this movie, wasn't expecting quite so much gore/bloodshed. The house party at the end just seems to be wall to wall killing and splatter.

I prefer Braindead over 'Bad Taste'...that was TOO low budget and cheap looking to even take seriously. Braindead was low budget but atleast kept it at a level.

Just see 'Event Horizon' for the first time in 10 or so years; good stuff, although not as freaky this time around.

**Purge** · 05-03-2009, 10:58 AM

Hey guys, I visited the house by the cemetery yesterday and took some pictures this time. I'll have them up sometime this week.

The Thing was great...They Live was great at the time but after knowing Piper for so many years and being in the ring with him that kinda makes it hard for me to enjoy.......He said it was his favorite movie he ever made........

.

That sounds like Brain Damage. I haven't seen that for years and years, but the description you gave made me think of it. What was that thing's name... Almer or something like that?

**Bigdolf** · 05-03-2009, 11:39 AM

wasnt braindead just the other name for dead alive

**Bigdolf** · 05-04-2009, 10:31 AM

watched the movie frontiers, couldn't stand it except for the last 20 mins or so...

I wasn't too impressed with that one either. I don't mind the occasional "gore/torture porn"...so long as there's a decent storyline.

tell me about it, everyone kept hyping it up and it was bad

**STeGoR** · 05-04-2009, 07:26 PM

Anybody seen "Funny Games"? I think thats the name of it. That movie was messed up.

I saw the German version. Pretentious and boring, if you ask me. I probably won't see the American remake.

I watched it. I thought it was pretty well done. I never saw the original German version.

**MaskedManiac** · 05-05-2009, 07:14 AM

Watched a bunch of stuff this weekend.....Trilogy of Terror the orginal which as always is amazing with the Zulu doll.......The remake which was horrible to me........And I watched Van Helsing again which to me never gets old and im sorry to hear it appears they will nto do a sequel................

**Russ Jackel** · 05-05-2009, 07:20 AM

Faces Of Death.

**1stindoor** · 05-05-2009, 07:25 AM

I'm currently sitting through Laid to Rest. This is just a good over the top slasher flick. No real plot, cheesy acting, gaps in the story line, but good gory kills.

**malik_sabri** · 05-05-2009, 07:26 AM

The only real horror movie(not like The Ring, Helloween or some **** like that) that i like is the first Evil Dead, so this must be the ultimate horror movie

I need to watch ToT again soon. That image of Karen Black has stuck w/ me since I was a kid, I'll tell you!

Never saw Van Helsing all the way though. I think it's about time I did, though.

Will have "Midnight Movie" waiting for me when I get home this evening.

I seen the German origional and have the remake (by same director) on my lovefilm list. Interesting film and worth a watch. Just very hard to get any enjoyment out of it, found it bleak and depressing, aswell as disturbing of course.

Evil Dead is a cult horror classic, truly OTT gore and quite f**ked up in parts. Shame that the Evil Dead 2 was a basically a lesser remake and about half as good. Then Army of Darkness, although entertaining, is alot more along the lines of a PG-13 mainstream comedy horror. Has some cool lines and cool scenes, but the origional still owns.

**Purge** · 05-06-2009, 12:18 AM

Watched Midnight Meat Train last night. Boy, that sucked.

Really?...I enjoyed it. I watched Shuttle last night. Not sure what to make of it. It was along the lines of Funny Games. You kept waiting for something you knew would happen...only it didn't.

**MaskedManiac** · 05-06-2009, 02:51 PM

We have gone thru time and time again the with the Evil Dead.....ALL 3 are amazing and to this day Bruce Campbell should reprise Ash and only sequels should be done and no remakes.....Nobody could duplicate what they did....Raimi and Campbell that is....
