The ULTIMATE horror movie discussion thread

**dts1789** · 03-10-2007, 05:07 AM

Didn't check for previous threads but doesn't matter.

In this thread i will talk about the movies and review them as i watch them.
I encourage all other to do the same! This thread is also for general discussion about any past/present/future horror movies!

Reason i am happy tonight:

F*ck yes! I found a torrent for the producers cut of Halloween 6. I did the dvd cover myself

Been wanting this movie for a long time!!!!!

**JRRBadBoy4Life** · 03-10-2007, 06:10 AM

"The Hills Have Eyes" was a great flick.

**eiker_ir** · 03-10-2007, 06:12 AM

link to the torrent please, how's the a/v quality/ /

[my keyboard is kinda ****ed up]

**dts1789** · 03-10-2007, 06:16 AM

Alright not many people around at this time.
Anyway i'll start with my favourite movie and a real classic.
If you noticed the first post in this thread, what else would you expect?

Not going to give a detailed review because a) takes too long b) I'm not a reviewer lol. just going to give my thoughts

Halloween:
My personal favourite horror ever. I love this move from start to finish.

Plot (like anyone doesn't know it): Michael Myers kills his sister as a child, gets sent to Asylum and escapes after being there for 15 years. He comes back home to Haddonfield, Illinois on Halloween night.

Halloween is great because it uses suspense and builds up tension throughout the movie. Michael Myers is a badass

Also love the music used in this movie!
Obviously 99% of people have seen this movie, but if you haven't.. get your ass down to the video store and rent it, better yet buy it because it's an essential part of any movie collection!
Score: 9.8/10 because i don't give 10's

It's on demonoid.com, you've gotta be registered there to download it. I don't know about the quality because it's still downloading, but from the comments i'd say it's very good for what it is!

Can't wait for the hills have eyes 2 to be released, hope it's decent

**20 Inch Rims** · 03-10-2007, 06:21 AM

I couldn't leave the house for weeks after seeing "Joy Ride"

Kidding.....

**Carpathia** · 03-10-2007, 06:28 AM

watched are you scared last night which is a saw knock off, it would probably be worth renting if you liked the saw series
id give it 6/10

**dts1789** · 03-10-2007, 06:31 AM

Bad Taste:
This film is about a bunch of aliens that come to Earth to find humans to use for their fast food service on their home planet. They invade New Zealand and it's up to a team of 4 blokes to stop them.

For having no proper actors in this movie, it's pretty damn impressive!
Full of gore and comedy, Bad Taste is a great effort by Peter Jackson. Obviously this movie wasn't designed to have a huge story or be a great success. It was made off a low budget, and the actors were all Jackson's friends, but it still manages to be a pretty decent movie.

Score: 7/10
I recommend it, but probably only to rent and see if you like it, because it's not for everyone!

^^ and don't forget Goosebumps. The song played in the intro is quite creepy.

Carrie:

I fuking love this movie! Definitely one of my favourite horror movies

Plot:
Carrie is a girl who is basically a loner and pretty unpopular (she also has telekinetic abilities) Her mother is extremely religious and comes across as a right psycho.
After gym class Carrie gets her first period in the shower and thinks there's something wrong with her, she flips out and all the other girls give her **** about it.
Long story short she ends up going to prom with the best looking guy in school because the guys g/f wants to do something nice for Carrie after treating her bad.
Unfortunately other people don't feel the same way and decide to get revenge on Carrie. I'll leave it at that.

Thoughts:
I absolutely LOVED the whole prom ordeal, the expressions on Carrie's face were priceless. Movie kept my interest the whole way throughout without fail. I think this is John Travoltas first real movie (don't quote me on that) and he plays his role pretty well. Sissy Spacek is awesome as Carrie White, especially in the second half of the film.
Great Movie

Score: 9/10
Buy it, rent it whatever. Just watch it.

Bad Taste was pretty good, but Jackson's crazy cheesy gorefests peaked with Dead Alive [Braindead]

The original (1974) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

**dts1789** · 03-10-2007, 06:59 AM

Yeah original TCM was a damn good movie, i'd give it an 8/10 i reckon.
I actually prefer the 2003 remake

You preferred the remake... really? I saw the original years ago at one of those "revival" theaters. I was 12 or 13 years old at the time, and had never even heard of this movie.... and it scared the beezeebers out of me! Totally out of left field.

**dts1789** · 03-10-2007, 07:21 AM

Audition (Odishon)

Plot: Shigeharu Aoyama is a dad who is raising his son alone after his wife died a few years earlier. A business colleague sets up a fake audition in which Aoyama looks for a new partner, he finds the beautiful Asami and is instantly hooked on her. She is not as she seems though.......

Thoughts: Absolutely AWESOME Japanese thriller/horror movie.
Has one of the most intense scenes in any movie! People with a weak stomach will most likely bring up whatever they ate earlier! Eihi Shiina who plays Asami is so good in this role, she ends up being one crazy lady!
This movie is pretty slow paced until the last hour or so, a lot of people might be thrown off because of that. It could also be described as a romance tale at first, but this quickly changes halfway through.
I personally had no issues sitting through this movie, i enjoyed the story.

Score: 9/10
Another one of my essential movies!
The Japanese sure know how to make a movie!

Actually yeah i did, i don't know why. I just thought it was done really well. Jessica Biel was in it as well

I imagine watching that movie at 12 or 13 would have scared the hell out of you

Yes, right away, the whole atmosphere of the movie gripped me... then the weird dude with the birthmark on his face gets in the van and cuts his own hand down the middle! Shiiit, I felt queasy and panicked... and the movie had just started!

**Purge** · 03-10-2007, 07:45 AM

I've been a mjaajr horror-buff all my life. I attend two film/star conventions a year and have met everyone from George Romero to Kane Hodder to Karen Black to Doug Bradley. My faves are "The Shining", the original "Dawn of the Dead", "Maniac", and "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer."

**Rumple4skin** · 03-10-2007, 07:45 AM

Peter Jacksons Dead Alive kicked ass. Its not all that scary though. One movie of the top of the head that scarred the hell out of me when i was little was Childs Play 2.

**dts1789** · 03-10-2007, 07:47 AM

Another classic!

A Nightmare on Elm Street

Plot: We all know the story... Freddy Krueger invades dreams, kills teens while they're sleeping......

Thoughts: One of the classic horror movies, start of one of the most notable series beginning in the 80's, along with Friday the 13th.
Of course i enjoyed this movie, it's a classic! Love the Krueger character.
Some pretty cool deaths in this movie, it's been a while since i watched it so i might have to sit down and view it again, because it's a great movie

Score: 8/10
People who are only familiar with the newer movies these days should be forced to watch movies such as this

**dts1789** · 03-10-2007, 07:49 AM

alright it's nearly 2am, i'm going to bed.
Don't let this thread die!
Will post plenty more movies tomorrow, hopefully my producers cut will be finished downloading by then

Jacob's Ladder
In the mouth of Madness

...if you guys want some great horror that was just released a couple of years ago, try "Three Extremes" (a japanese film with english subtitles, telling 3 different stories)...I'd highly recommend it.

**10TonBrick** · 03-10-2007, 07:51 AM

antone ever seen Wrong Turn? still scares that sh!t out of me...

Yeah i thought it was a pretty decent movie, hope the second one doesn't suck! Shame it's going straight to dvd.

**dts1789** · 03-10-2007, 08:03 AM

If anyone has a collection or something, post a pic. Be interesting to see.
