Title: What's the Last Horror Movie You Watched?
Post by: L-Face on February 06, 2013, 12:29:02 AM
Since we're bringing back old/popular threads, I figured I'd necro this one. Would be nice to see your thoughts on these and maybe a rating rather than just listing the title of the movie.

Last horror movie I watched was Silence of the Lambs. Really, I kind of feel bad. I loved this movie when I was younger, now I think it's simply "meh." Don't get me wrong, Anthony Hopkins is fantastic as Hannibal Lecter and I do enjoy the Buffalo Bill character. But everything else is just.....it hasn't held up with time in my eyes. As I was watching it, I couldn't help but nitpick at it. Whether it be from certain performances (Jodie Foster) or the amateur-ish cinematography, I really don't enjoy this movie anymore.

If I had to give it a rating, I'm afraid it would have to be a 5/10, Average at best.

Just finished watching an Australian flick called Redd Inc., starring Nicholas Hope (Bad Boy Bubby).



Not bad, 6/10 would be my rating. Not the kind of movie you re-visit but was interesting enough to watch through. While the twist near the end is by far from original and to some people would be easy to predict, it worked well enough... at least for me, since I tend to not think ahead when watching films.

Should also mention that Tom Savini had some involvement with this one.

Last one I watched was The Cradle Will Fall (1983).

Actually, I've seen eight movies recently, but I don't want to start another shitstorm about "OMG You can't list more than one movie in the last horror movie you've seen thread - if you've seen more than one, then you're shit out of luck." I'd have already started my own thread, but I don't want people to think I think I deserve a special treatment.

Onto the film itself, it was an odd one. Plot was simple: A doctor is performing experiments on women, and through research, a lawyer finds out about it. There's more to it, but that's the basics. Anyhow, apparently this film is a supplement to the now-defunct soap opera Guiding Light (which I recall watching when I was younger), as some characters from the show appear in the background (same actors/actresses and all). At leas that's how I understand it. It's not a bad film, though it is made-for-television, so it's a bit on the lower end of quality. The last 20 minutes or so were pretty thrilling though, I admit. Overall, though, pretty average. 6.5/10.

I believe the last one I saw was Paranormal Activity 3.

I liked it. The twist at the end actually works, the implications for what is happening let us believe that a much worse evil might be inflicted upon the world... it made up for the slow pacing.

Not perfect, but not bad. I heard part 4 throws that out the windows and blows chunks however.

I watched the film version once, it was barely memorable.  I argue it's because it's hard to adapt my favorite novel of all time into a memorable film.

Last horror film I watched would be Silent Night, Deadly Night.  Great film; classic.

Oh, I'm sure I'll love it, just haven't gotten to it yet. Probably one of the few really popular 80's horror movies I haven't seen yet.

Just because someone hasn't seen a certain film doesn't make them any less of a fan. Part of being a fan is learning things and getting films recommended to them. Hell, without this site, I wouldn't have seen as many horror films as I have.

Some Australian shitfest called 6 Plots. No effective suspense, kills were all dry and offscreen and even the ending was uneventful. Skip at all costs.

Will give it a 2 as at least it wasn't shaky cam tripe.

Post by: L-Face on February 08, 2013, 04:11:05 AM
It's not scary, though. It's a movie that's shocking just for the sake of being shocking. There's no substance to it. In fact, it tries waaaaay too hard at being shocking and fails. In my opinion it does, at least.

Mimesis (2012)

Horrible, Horrible film that has people being forced to recreate the Night of the Living dead movie. 7 people wake up after attending a party at a house resembling the NOTLD one and have to fend off Zombies (well, people pretending to be zombies). The danger is real as the zombie players are actually killing anyone they catch. So many bad things about this one like how no one bothers to ever close and lock windows in this house! The main way these play zombies keep getting in! Open windows!

One of the worst NOTLD tribute movies. Not as bad as the 3D NOTLD but still a massive shitfest of a film.

skeleton key  8.5/10


just going to use my horror movie check list response

      Must say i was pleasantly surprised with this movie. It has an eerie ambiance that is persistent throughout the entire film.The setting is creepy as well as the score. All the sights and sounds of the environment kept me on edge waiting to see what happened next. This is the type of movie where jump scares are actually ok to use. They were built up to well and actually made me jerk when they took place. Having a main character that i actually gave two shits about was a plus also.

      This is the type of movie all the paranormal activity  tries to be but fails at in all aspects.  It's not a perfect movie, there are some slow parts that drag a little and there is very little on screen death most is just talked about and the deaths that are show are  flashbacks. As some may know ;however, there are some fates worse than death.

I finished Nosferatu and Killer Klowns from Outer Space today.  I already hit Nosferatu in the Checklist thread (a good film with some flaws) and I'll hit Killer Klowns later (no more or less than I expected it to me, a dumb film about clowns killing people in OTT ways).

Child's Play

One of the movie channels played the first three movies back to back this weekend, but I had to step out after the first, so I missed the other two. Otherwise Child's Play 3 would have been the last one I've seen.

Anyways, it'd been a while since I saw this one. Probably since I was 13, so a good 11 years. I forgot just how annoying the kid that played Andy was (granted, he was a lot more tolerable in CP 2.) Aside from that, I enjoyed the hell out of this movie. Brad Dourif was able to do something that seems impossible to do. Make a murderous doll actually scary. If anyone else had voiced Chucky, I don't think they could have pulled it off. Something about his voice makes it work.

The kills, while somewhat basic (aside from the voodoo kill, which is still pretty badass) were effective and the characters were likeable for the most part. Overall, it's not my favorite horror movie, but I enjoy it enough to recommend it.

7/10

The greatest part about it is the WTF moments at the end...

SPOILERS
Like when he gets burnt to shit... then he comes back looking like a toasted marshmallow (very cool) and then he gets shot to shit, in pieces... then he manages to come back with only one arm and one leg and choke a bitch, haha. He just keeps coming back like the T-800 at the end of the Terminator.

I recently saw a movie called All About Evil (2010) about a girl who owns an old theater and films real kills and shows them to the audience who think the kills are staged. It all leads up to a few bodies piling up and some gore but overall something about it just doesn't give it much of an impact. I ended up feeling like it was easily forgettable and nothing more. Might give it a 5 for some nice moments.

Wrong turn 5, guess I didn't really watch it because I turned it off half way through or fell into a coma...who can really be sure. Either way don't bother. I liked the first wrong turn movie, the rest sucked and I knew that 5 wouldn't be any better. Lesson learned.

Considering everything after the first has gone straight to DVD, pretty much a given that they'd suck. Though, that's not to say that there haven't been some pretty decent Direct to DVD movies. Dead & Breakfast, for example. Love that movie.

American Mary, which was pretty good. Katharine Isabelle should be in more horror movies...I would be gay with her for sure. The movie was great fun, although I think they could have pushed the extreme body modification much further and made people into utter true freaks of nature. Like real life barbie and the twins, those ones were on the right track.


Sick boy: Long boring build up to the end of movie where the action starts. Featuring unattractive plain girl and abusive plain boyfriend that need money so she gets a creepy gig babysitting. Blah, blah, blah. Went to bed when it started to get interesting, will ask husband how it went. My guess is the kid got bitten by the same tropical monkey in "brain dead" is now a zombie and everyone dies.

A couple of friends and I watched 2005's Call of Cthulhu.  It's a fun flick, and tries to be faithful to the 20's style.  Only problem is, there's really nobody around who can pull off the stop motion they needed, and despite an effort it's pretty clear that this was filmed with modern cameras, which hurts some of the effects shots.
Title: Re: What's the Last Horror Movie You Watched?
Post by: Crash Dummie on March 06, 2013, 06:49:36 AM
It's too bad; shitty cameras hid shitty special effects. But I still think it works fairly well, and they made Cthulhu look good.

Last one I've watched was Jason Lives. One of the few in the series that can be called a good movie in some respects. It's funny, well paced, and the newly zombified Jason has a few good kills and badass shots.

The Slender Man (2013)

Complete waste of time. You spend most of this found-footage film (which is only 118 mins long) watching someone shake a camera around while they're running from something you can't see. You get to look at the ground, look at the sky, listen to a lot of bad acting, and not much else. Worst movie I've seen in quite some time.

After watching the trailer (http://www.dreadcentral.com/videos/slender-teaser-trailer) for the game, I'd have to say that's pretty much the movie in a nutshell. It's so low-rent, the acting is so terrible, and the pace is so boring and uneventful that it's really not worth the time. I hope this is a cheap knockoff and not the film that was talked about on various sites like Dread Central. If done correctly, it has the potential to be a good flick.

Let me preface this by saying that any and all reviews that I do are on an enjoyment scale. They may be lopsided, hell, you may disagree with what I'm saying. So be it. That's the way it is. Blargh.....


Anyways, the last horror movie I watched was "From Dusk Till Dawn." This movie is a fucking classic. Hands down. It's a vampire movie that doesn't follow the mold, but does so in a way that isn't fucking insulting. I'm looking at you, Twilight. It takes what's established and adds to it in a way that makes sense as opposed to making up a bunch of shit that aggravates people. People can accept "Day Walkers" as long as their name is Blade. If your name is Edward Cullen, you can go fuck yourself. But I digress......at least Voldemort killed that motherfucker. Anyways......From Dusk Till Dawn may have some dated effects, but it's highly enjoyable. And "Did they look like psychos? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires. Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don't give a fuck how crazy they are!" Could be one of my favorite lines of all time.

On an enjoyment factor, 9/10

Post by: JasonzSon on March 23, 2013, 02:45:40 PM
I can dig that.  It's not outstanding in terms of making sense, in terms of vampires, etc., but it's as enjoyable a movie as most things Tarantino pens.  For the record, I'd probably give it an 8.

Ditto. Never gets old watching that flick.

I recently saw Dream House. I had been reluctant to see it after the studio gives away massive spoilers in the TV trailers! Fucktards should keep shit locked down so the audience can experience the twists for themselves. Anyhoo, got passed that annoyance and gave it a watch. The movie plods along doing nothing while you sit there thinking "OK, this is building up for a big scene.." then nada. The ending comes and it becomes a silly, cliche of a mess. How the producers didn't read this script and think "hmm, this is crap" is beyond me. I thought the actors did good. The writers though, should be shot. By the killer. Who was revealed in the trailer.

De Rating: 3/10.

One annoying thing is it takes him the entire movie before he finally asks "what happened that night?" Really? That should have been asked the second you realized!

Hi. I've had a profile here for about a month, but this is my first post. Anyway...

I just saw Dust Devil (1992). Sadly, it appears as though I've seen one of the cut versions, and not the full-length one. Maybe I'll eventually watch the full-length one, as I can't say too many good things about the movie. I thought Wendy, the main woman, was annoying, though I liked Mukurob, for the most part. I must have missed something, though, as it appears that he has some injury on his hand during the latter parts of the movie. I also like Wendy's husband, Mark, though he did almost absolutely nothing in the movie that was important. I did like the location, as I thought it was very unique, and I wasn't expecting to watch a movie that took place in Nambia. Overall, I'd give the movie a 6/10.

Welcome to FE.  My latest was Hannibal Rising, by the way.  Faithful enough adaptation with some choices I would have made differently and one scene that literally existed only for the box art.  That was the only scene that really bothered me, although there were a few things early on I'd have moved around, cut different things and kept others, etc.  There's also the fact that adapting this largely depends on how Hannibal was adapted, and I have yet to see the film version of that.  I'll give it a 6.5/10 and swing one way or another on a second viewing.

Thanks for the welcome.

In any case, I just finished The Ghoul (1933). I liked the movie, and while I found it slightly boring at parts, it was overall a pretty good movie, I think. As always, I just loved the distinct comedy that only 30's and 40's movies have. I also liked all the actors and the people they portrayed, and there was even one completely unexpected plot twist at the end that, while foreshadowed, still caught me off-guard. However, also like a lot of older movies, it ended very abruptly, and that ruined it slightly for me. Still, overall I think it was a good movie, and I'd rate it a 7/10.

           Just finished watching the ward and must say without a doubt john carpenter is still the man.
This movie was great and gives me hope that every horror film being made now is not total crap. What makes a very good horror film for me is the tone and atmosphere that is set up early on and carries through the movie. As one might come to expect from a score used in a carpenter film, it was creepy and brilliant. The  location is also creepy and gives off the feeling like man i never wont's to end up in a place like that.

          The ward is a movie that actually makes you think which i enjoy. The acting didn't have any stand out performances, but it didn't have any i would consider bad either. I found the kills to be interesting in that they sort of evolved as the film went on. At first they are sort of cut away make the viewer think about what is happening type kills then they evolve to the full on no detail left out kind.  Overall a great film, halloween or the thing it's not but, then again what is? The only things that hold the film back are an overuse of jump scares which are not that bad because they are used in the correct way and no stand out acting performances. 9/10

Last one for the night/morning.

Just finished La tumba de los muertos vivientes [aka The Treasure of the Living Dead / Oasis of the Zombies] (1982), and wow. That movie had some of the worst editing I have ever seen in a movie. It was dreadful. As for the movie itself, it wasn't much better. I did like two of the main characters, the son of the guy who was killed in the beginning, and the guy with the glasses who was the first to die out of the main four, but besides them, I didn't really like anyone else. The plot had potential, and if the movie was remade with better editing, a better script, better actors, better score, I might actually like it. Plus, I saw a dubbed version, and I HATE dubbed movies. I'd read sub-titles and watch a movie in it's original language any day. Anyway, I'd give the movie a 3/10, as there were some parts I liked.

Welcome, FanOfAllHorror, you seem an interesting person, and not bound by a specific genre or decade, like some horror fans are. Nice to make your acquaintance.

I last saw Der Student von Prag (1913):

It's the first full-length horror film ever made (making this year the 100th anniversary of horror movies), and I found it enjoyable. Plot-wise, it's about making a deal with the devil, and the outcomes that has. Very solid film, I thought, and found the last ten minutes or so rather thrilling. One thing that bothered me, however, was that while this is a German movie (Germany made the best silent horror films ever, and in fact was the first country who really had a grip on the horror genre), the print I watched has Italian inter-titles (though subtitled in English), which I found odd, and took about 15 minutes to fully get used to. Anyhow, it's the first horror film ever made, has a decently interesting plot, and it's German. Why wouldn't you want to watch it? 8/10.

Silent Night (2012).  I would give this film a 5/10, but 5/10 for a film like this would still be walking away from an enjoyable time.  I ultimately feel like this film is slightly below that, due largely due to the ridiculous red and green filters that otherwise ruin a perfectly average conclusion to an average film that doesn't know what it wants to be.  4/10.

Just finished watching Scream 3 (2000). Of course, I've seen it before, but that was years ago, and I didn't even remember who the killer was until it was revealed. I have to say that I just love the Scream movies. I didn't expect to really enjoy Scream 3, but it still had a good amount of wit, humor, and a meta-sense throughout the whole movie. Probably has something to do with the fact that Wes Craven was directing it. In so many horror film series, there're multiple directors. Seems rare to find a series by just one director. Anyway, I love all the characters from the film, and it was a fun romp, so I have to rate it 8/10.

The Thing

Not the Carpenter one, the prequel. I heard it was bad and wanted to see just how bad. On a scale from 1 to 10 on the terrible scale, it's about an 8. This is one failed to capture the feeling of Carpenter's film. Whereas that had tension and kept me guessing what would happen next, this one was predictable from start to finish. They tried to throw red herrings out there, but the outcome was obvious each time. The only moment I thought was relatively interesting was the pre/mid credit scenes that was basically the opening to the Carpenter film. That's really the only positive thing I can say about the movie. The effects sucked, the acting and characters were meh. This movie is just one big ball of meh.

Thankfully the Carpenter classic is on demand. Think I'mma go watch that and try to purge this turd from my memory.

I found it entertaining, and I liked how it was an actual prequel, but it doesn't have the soul it should have, and the scares don't work like they should.

Instead of being a cunning monster that keeps hiding, The Thing in this one just blowing its cover all the fucking time.

2. Stop the bad guy gore film
3. Slasher
4. Story-focused Sci-Fi with horror elements
5. Mystery thriller with fantasy/horror elements
6. Slasher with mystery thriller elements

I would have to watch 7 and 8 and pay more attention to classify them, which I'm not wont to do

9. Terrible remake with found footage elements

What I liked about the first one was that the Cenobites were not necessarily evil. They had a twisted lifestyle of pain, pleasure, and overall new sensations seeking. They sort of imposed it on people who solved the box, but still.

From what I read, in some sequels, Pinhead becomes a villain who wants to conquer the world and inflict suffering on everyone. Idf that's true, it sort of ruins the purpose and creepiness of the first movie.

Are We the Waiting (2017)

This is the first movie from 2017 I've seen, and the second Michael Taylor Pritt film I've been able to watch (Mile Before Sleep, which I previously reviewed, being the first one). And though this is Pritt's newest film, I actually preferred Miles Before Sleep. Before any of that, though, let's briefly discuss this movie. A group of five friends go to a secluded house to party before two of them defect to Canada, but shortly after getting there, they're stalked and killed off by a mysterious killer. The plot's simple enough, and honestly, the film doesn't throw many unique plot points out at you. The kills are decently done (especially one toward the end), but overall, I don't know how memorable they'd be. The design of the killer's mask (which is partially glow-in-the-dark) is pretty cool, and other small things, such as the atmosphere (save for the ending, which I'll expand on shortly) work out well. The acting's a mixed bag – I rather liked most of Pritt's acting, and others, such as Alyssa Cordial and Rob Pemberton, did a pretty good job, but some of Bridgette Kidd's lines felt forced. Actually, quite a bit of the dialogue was flaky, and sometimes fell a bit flat, but most of the time, that was tolerable. One of the places this was most notable, though, was the reveal of the killer. It felt a bit rushed, and I think that's something that could have been done better. The final ten minutes felt rather out of place, though. Obviously, I won't go over plot points, but let's say that the ending, in my opinion, came out of left field, and really, I didn't feel the final ten minutes were necessary. At an hour and 15 minutes (the final five minutes being credits), I think the movie could have been cut down a little bit, maybe trimming the ending (or removing it entirely) and a few scenes throughout the film. Miles Before Sleep, not counting the outtakes, was around 53 minutes, so given how this one was about twenty minutes longer, I couldn't help but feel as though it was dragging a few times throughout the film. All this said, it's a perfectly acceptable low-budget slasher flick. It's more formulaic than Miles Before Sleep was (or at least that's my impression), but I rather liked the group of friends as a whole, and thought that they did well together. It's a bit below average, but for a fan of lower-budget horror, it may well be worth checking out. 6/10.

Alien: Covenant (2017)


I haven't seen such hotly diverse opinions of a film since, well, Prometheus, this film's predecessor. The film starts off as Prometheus 2 (it was originally going to have a Prometheus title, but the lukewarm reception to that film probably killed that idea, no matter the reason Ridley Scott gives), features a twist that makes it something completely different for a while, before going on to become an Alien-style confrontation. This movie does a decent job of demonstrating how the creatures in Prometheus became the ones in Alien (to the point that it causes me to re-evaluate my opinion of Prometheus, which I need to rewatch at some point) and provides some interesting scares, though some items are made painfully obvious earlier than they need to be. I enjoyed the film, but mileage tends to vary to an extreme extent so it may depend partially on your ability to suspend your disbelief. My rating: 7.5/10

I know I've watched other horror movies since, but I'm drawing a huge blank so -

The Babadook (2014)

While I really enjoyed it and thought it was filmed and produced incredibly well, the ending left kind of a bad taste in my mouth. I also thought it kind of odd that The Babadook himself didn't have very much screen time at all, but can understand why they chose to do it that way.
Title: Re: What's the Last Horror Movie You Watched?
Post by: Crash Dummie on June 19, 2017, 06:04:37 AM
The Babadook is one of my favorite horror movie.

I loved the ending: **SPOILERS**the monster is just a metaphor for grief, it doesn't actually exist in a physical form. The mother ignored her grief for years, and with the added stress of her overactive kid, whom she resents for "taking her husband from her", she went nuts, killed the dog and tried to murder her son.

The ending shows that instead for burying her grief and pretending everything is fine, she finally realizes that it will never go away, but that she can take control over it by acknowledging it's existence and tending to it.**SPOILERS**

It was brilliant in my opinion.

My last horror was Jurassic Park, which I watched for class, and am currently procrastinating writing a paper on. This wasn't my first time, but it was my first time in ages and the first time watching it immediately after reading the novel. As is usual for me, I like the book a lot more, but this is a better movie than I had realized in the past, especially now that I know enough about the process to notice some of the additions Spielberg made. This may well be another 9/10 for me.

Maniac Cop and Maniac Cop 2.

I was aware of these movies well before I got around to watching them for the first time the other night. The second Maniac Cop installment surpasses the original by far, even if Bruce Campbell's character is gutted pretty early in the film. Also, gotta love that cheesy rap song about Matt Cordell that plays during the credits!

Maniac Cop 2 is a favourite of mine. I think it is definitely as good as the original. I think the shootout in the police station toward the end had to be cut a lot because it was originally too violent. Cordell's more zombified appearance is also an improvement over his look in the original.

Psycho I - III are all solid, in my view. The fourth isn't even bad (especially for a television movie), but given it's nature, it's not as enthralling to me as the first three.

Hello all,  Insidious 4. I watched it mainly because my 13yr old daughter likes ghost/jumpscare movies. It was so very average, exactly as I expected. Jump scares predictable. My daughter seemed to like it. Otherwise I'm going through the movie schedule on fight evil, it's given me the chance to re-watch some old stuff and renew my enjoyment of them.

Body Melt (1993)

Pretty good. Amazing gore. Just wtf was that subplot with the TCM-esque family that went nowhere?

Ahaha, I got it on bluray. I agree about the subplot, so weird and misplaced.

Body Melt was such a strange flick.

Fun fact: Even though I didn't see it until three or so years back, ever since I was a kid (7, 8 years old), that was one of the few horror movies I knew about.

It was weird, but a blast to finally see.

As for me, I just saw It (2017) for the second time. Review will be up later.

I've never seen Lair of the White Worm - heard some mixed things, though.

What did you think?

And Bates Motel, assuming you mean the 1987 one, was a strange flick. Went all over the place, and the ending was so, so, so corny. I rather enjoyed it, though.

Tales from the Hood 2 (2018)

I really liked the first Tales from the Hood (and in fact, it may be one of my favorite anthology horrors of the 1990's), but this was just overly insulting and pathetic. I'll post my full review in time, but suffice it to say this was easily one of the worst anthology horror films I've ever seen. 3/10.
Title: Re: What's the Last Horror Movie You Watched?
Post by: gorefan1428 on May 25, 2020, 10:40:25 AM
The last showing

I had sort of high hopes going into this one and had been wanting to watch it for a while being it stars horror legend Robert Englund.

First the good points
Robert was brilliant as usual  and gave the sole shining performance  of the film.
His theater projectionist character was creepy , believable and menacing.
The concept of the film was interesting and something different.
As far as good points thats it.

Now the bad
The other characters in the film were  dull, poorly acted, and  didn't bring much to the table.
I just couldn't make my self care what happened to them and could wait for Roberts character to get back on screen.
Pacing was gruelingly slow and there just wasn't a lot going on. Death count was low and far between was more of a build up film but the build up just didn't work.
The plot also didn't make sense as it went along. As enjoyable as Robert is to watch he just couldn't carry this stinker alone.

Overall a very passable let down of a film with a few bright spots
2.5 out of 10     

2 for Robert and a half for the interesting premise.

Deathgasim

A bloody death medal infused fun ride of a horror film well more of a horror/comedy.
This was a great watch some of the most off the wall brutal gore iv seen in a while with a metal score that works well in this horror romp that has a metal garage band open the gates of hell  with its music
a little over the top on the humor side at times but overall a great film worth the watch

8/10


Title: Re: What's the Last Horror Movie You Watched?
Post by: gorefan1428 on July 09, 2020, 09:14:23 AM
watched a few over my last couple days off

Halloween  (1978) re watched this classic 10/10 needs no explanation

The mutilator 1984 aka fall break
really wanted to like this one it had some good points  and some decent gore but overall fell flat
it had a score that tried to mix in some up beat music that just didnt work, had a very slow start  and some glaring plot holes and wtf moments that just couldn't be overlooked    4/10

slumber party massacre (1982)
This one i was really surprised with how well it ended up i really enjoyed this one
I think it showcased the  killers patters and motives well , the pacing was top notch with the kills piling in right away. not a wide variety of kill styles but it fit.
was it perfect no but its up there  it went  from the style of cutting away from the kills to showing the full on gorey goodness which annoyed me a little, it has massacre in the title come on.  There were also some minor plot holes and wtf moments
overall a very good movie that falls a little short of great 8.5/10

Saw Noroi: The Curse a few days ago. Great. J-horror found-footage (mockumentary style, not shakey cam). Mercifully short on jump scares but with some real standout creepy parts. A little on the long side.

It's on Shudder, would highly recommend.

I wouldn't have rated it quite this low, but I do agree that the one time I saw that movie, it sort of missed the mark. I didn't think it was terrible, but I was definitely expecting more from an 80's slasher of somewhat higher notice.

The Last House on the Left (1972).

This was a fun movie to revisit. Fun not for it's gritty nature, but it's been so long since I've seen this one that I had a quality time with it.
Title: Re: What's the Last Horror Movie You Watched?
Post by: Jigsaw on September 10, 2021, 02:38:43 AM
Been on a little spree, trying to get back into watching horror before October. Watched six movies in the last five days. All of these are rewatches.


Penny Dreadful (2006) - a bit dull past a certain point, but early on, it has decent suspense. Below average, but not terrible.

Castle Freak (1995) - fantastically depressing and tragic, a well-made cheap film. Great performances, tense scenes, while worth a watch.

Hideaway (1995) - Jeff Goldblum is really one of the few decent things about this movie. The CGI has aged damn terribly, and the story, while okay at times, runs on too long.

Macabre (1958) - William Castle's first horror film, this does have some solid suspense, and possesses a good story, but lacks the punch of later Castle films.

La notte che Evelyn uscì dalla tomba (1971) - Known as The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave, this was a fantastic mix of classic Italian gothic cinema and giallo. A lot of suspects, and a damn good story. The print on Shudder was so much better than the print I first saw.

The Gate (1987) - it's not a favorite of mine, but it can be pretty fun, and the stop-motion special effects were pretty impressive.


As always, my full reviews will be available both upon request and within the next year before.

Just got finished watching Skinned Deep, its about as bad as I remember but Warwick Davis is a gem as always.
I also watched Midnight Meat-train yesterday and boy o boy did i forget how crazy it gets as it starts to wrap up.

Currently on the hunt for Devil's Harvest (2003). Used to own this one on DVD back in the day under the title Don't go into the attic but its gotten lost somewhere between moving.

Next on my list is Madhouse (1981) and Hellraiser Inferno
Title: Re: What's the Last Horror Movie You Watched?
Post by: Jigsaw on September 10, 2021, 02:29:22 PM
Midnight Meat Train is a lot of fun whenever I deign to revisit it.

I have to admit I have a bit of a soft spot for Hellraiser Inferno - it's not a great movie, but there are elements I quite like, and personally I enjoy it more than Hell on Earth or Bloodine.

Madhouse is a movie I don't remember too much about (aside from that I know it under the title There Was a Little Girl), but I hope it goes well.

The Messengers (2007)

Has a few okay moments, but strikes me as overall very lukewarm and forgettable. Which is probably why, though I've seen it before, it pretty much felt like a new watch.  [*laugh*]

I've felt that before, haven't seen the messengers though or perhaps I have and simply forgot.
Managed to track down a copy of Devil's Harvest it is not worth what I paid for it but it was much cheaper than amazon.

Hellraiser Inferno is a decent uplift compared to the last few films which had really started to drag.
I really don't understand how it can be difficult to make a hellraiser movie.

Just finished rewatching house of 1000 corpses. So apparently these days it has a decent cult following.
My reactions remain the same as the first time I seen it.
Very bland and by the numbers perhaps it has not aged well due to the films that followed it but I genuinely don't see what people enjoy in this movie. I've read elsewhere RZ also considers it a bad movie but perhaps I am just missing something.

I also revisited Flu (감기) which felt a bit topical in todays climate. The young park minah is great. An SooAe could get me invested in a SyFy original so it was a nice refresher for me despite not being an original concept in the slightest.

Ha, that was a great listen thank you gents, from what I gathered from your review the film seemed to have grown on you over multiple viewings.
Perhaps it is a guinness of the movie world that grows on you over time. Or perhaps it is vegemite and simply a love/hate kind of situation.
I feel like it started strong but degrades into a mess by the end.
Thank you very much for linking your review. It was nice to get your thoughts on it even if we had different feeling on it.
On my list for this evening is revisiting The Gate, a first watch of TCM(2013) and 3 From Hell after hearing it mentioned in your review. 3 From Hell some how passed me by completely as it was released during one of the busiest years of my life.

To round up what I've seen in the last couple of weeks:


Wolf Country (2005) - 9/11/2021 [Rewatch]

Low-budget Scottish werewolf movie. Highlights are okay special effects and Peter Capaldi in a couple of sequences. Below average.


Amsterdamned (1988) - 9/13/2021 [Rewatch]

Very solid Dutch slasher. Beautiful setting in Amsterdam, and solid sequences throughout. Maybe runs a little long, but still quite worth it.


Goblin (2010) - 9/15/2021 [Rewatch]

Okay Syfy movie. Decent story and performances, but not among the best of Syfy films from the last ten years.


Wicked Little Things (2006) - 9/15/2021 [Rewatch]

This is a movie I recall liking more than I apparently do now. Pretty decent idea, but the story has some plot issues, and the film just isn't as good as I remember it being.


You're Not Getting Out Alive (2011) - 9/16/2021 [Rewatch]

Ultra-low budget slasher from Colorado. Very low-budget, but I enjoyed it quite a bit, and possessed some legit amusing portions (which makes sense, as it's a comedy-horror). No idea if this is even officially released, but I still quite like it.


Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) - 9/16/2021 [Rewatch]

Perhaps the second best Halloween movie (after the first), this is an almost perfect movie, and I've loved it since I was a kid. A lot of great scenes, and this just has a lot going for it.


Malignant (2021) - 9/18/2021 [New watch]

Surprisingly decent. There are a few plot issues, but there is a lot of style to this movie, and though it's not perfect, it does have some very solid action sequences.


Idle Hands (1999) - 9/19/2021 [Repeat Rewatch]

It's almost an average movie, but it's just too goofy at times. Seen this multiple times, and some scenes still stick with me ever since I was a kid, but it's just too silly at times to really get into.


Weaverfish (2013) - 9/21/2021 [Rewatch]

A nice British Cabin Fever-esque movie. Feels a little too somber at times, and possesses quite a lengthy set-up (almost an hour before the horror really hits hard), but I do quite love the story and the finale, which packs a strong emotional punch.

Just finished Halloween Kills, not quite what I expected.
I came into this pretty cold and had a bit of fun.

The is challenging scenes (at least by blumhouse standards) particularly one scene in the hospital.
It was a very loud movie though, I feel like the score didn't have much room to breath.

Some decent kills , a strong opening sequence and the comfort of familiar faces i would give it a 6.
It has me at least curious about how they plan to wrap up this trilogy.
Sorry for the lack of details trying to avoid spoilers as its still quite new.

Great review and thanks for sharing, I had more fun reading your thoughts as I feel they expressed my thoughts more eloquently than I could.
I feel you are right about the duality of the film trying to keep a classic vibe in parts but also going over the top in gore compared to the original.
Unfortunately I don't think we see a restrained slasher movie anymore at least not from Blumhouse or an establish slasher franchise such as Halloween. I feel the new blood coming to these films or at least that which the studio thinks is coming to these films aren't interested in a suspenseful low gore horror movie when they see the name Halloween, Friday, Noes they have blood on their mind.

That is not to say suspenseful horror is dead, rather the studios producing these movies think it is. Anyway enough of my rambles, thanks again for sharing the review mate. ( I also didn't rewatch part 1 prior to watching Halloween Kills)

halloween kills for me

this is a tough one for me to rate
there were parts i really enjoyed and parts im like come on really

like you're gonna walk up on a dude that's trian wrecked half the town with a gun and not take a shot at him from six feet away?

though everyone in the movie had the aim of a storm trooper.


killes were enjoyable and a fun ride overall
but its just so hard when you stack it up to the atmospheric masterpiece that is the original 

the Halloween three mask were a nice touch

it was also nice seeing some of the classic characters back


im going to go slightly above average and give a 7  out of 10

ill probably give it a rewatch and see if i change my mind a little
i my have overhyped its expectation just a tad.

Watched Hansel & Gretel Get Baked (2013)

Not as heavy on ridiculous comedy as you might think, which was a positive. Even so, it's not a particularly memorable film, aside from the mildly interesting plot. Below average, but not terribly so. 6.5/10. (Full review available in a year and a half or on demand. :P)

Invitation to Hell (1982)

Not to be confused with the 1984 Wes Craven film of the same name, this 41 minute short was directed by Michael J. Murphy. It's rather low budget, and the quality is pretty poor. Performances weren't that great, but there was at least a solid kill, being a crucifixion of sorts. I'd really only recommend it to fans of low budget British Satanic horror, though. 4/10.


Blue Demon y Zovek en La invasión de los muertos (1973)

Known in the USA as The Invasion of the Dead, this Mexican zombie movie was slow. Admittedly, I have seen this before, but not with subtitles, so it was nice to understand more of it. Even so, not great. 4.5/10.

Drag Me to Hell (2009) - I love this stupid fucking movie. It's so goddamn hilarious!

Possession (1981) - I heard a lot of good things about this one and it didn't disappoint. It was very over the top but it's also very surreal and psychedelic. I can't really compare it to anything but I highly recommend for anyone who hasn't watched yet!

Admittedly, I've not yet seen Possession, but the fact Sam Neill is in it has long been a point of interest for me.

Just finished In the Spider's Web (2007).

All-in-all, this was decent. Still below average, but it had a few good characters, an okay story at times, and rather realistic spiders 95% of the time. Not a movie for those afflicted with arachnophobia, but overall, wasn't a bad rewatch. 6/10.

A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child (1989)

Always thought that this was the worst of the series. No idea what's going on, and it's just overall drab. Horrible kills, too. While Freddy's Dead is flawed, at least it's entertaining, and I don't believe this one really is. 5/10.


The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1994)

Known also as Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (which I admit is a better title), this honestly wasn't terrible until the last twenty or so minutes. I mean, it wasn't good before that, but that drop in quality was astonishing. Renée Zellweger did well, but otherwise, this movie isn't much my cup of tea, though still better than the second movie. 5.5/10.

The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959)

I slightly prefer the 1939 Rathbone version, but this is a rather solid film too, and in color. My one issue is that, as much as I love Christopher Lee, I don't think he's the right guy for the role of Henry Baskerville. Still a quality rendition of the movie. 8/10.


Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013)

Honestly, while there are some problems with this film, I had an okay time. It's below average, but it probably ties as my third favorite movie in the franchise. 6/10.

While plenty of people turn their nose up at it, I actually enjoy that one to some degree. And seeing some Alexandra Daddario bouncing titty action is always going to enhance any flick.

My big issue is the timeline doesn't make sense. The beginning shootout takes place September 1973. Does Daddario look 39 in this movie?  [*laugh*]

Gore was pretty solid, though, and like I said, it probably ties with the 2003 remake and In the Beginning as my third favorite in the series.

The Black Phone was an absolute gem for modern horror. Blows my mind that nobody on any horror forum has ever even mentioned this movie.

It's been on my radar since last year. There was an advanced screening of it in my area a couple of weeks ago but I couldn't attend as it was my daughter's 18th birthday party the exact same night. Doesn't get released here until next week.

Heard a decent amount of positive things about it on Twitter, but it's hard to separate the genuine praise from the "this-is-a-new-movie-and-I-don't-want-to-say-anything-negative-about-it-in-fear-of-bothering-people" vibe.

Though, I do know, from some people I do trust when it comes to horror, that they had a good time with it.

I tend to disregard many new horror movies but I always try to give some the benefit of the doubt. This was the best one I've seen in years, probably. More of a supernatural thriller with a major horror vibe, though. Still a very solid flick and one to check out when the chance arises.

Always thought that this was the worst of the series. No idea what's going on, and it's just overall drab. Horrible kills, too. While Freddy's Dead is flawed, at least it's entertaining, and I don't believe this one really is. 5/10.



id defiantly agree with you there.
to me this one is by far the weakest in the entire franchise.
especially fallowing dream warriors and dream master.

this just feels like a thrown together mess that lacks any sort of direction.

how would you rate the sequels in order jiggy?

From worst to best:

9) Dream Child
8) Freddy's Dead
7) A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
6) Dream Master
5) New Nightmare
4) Freddy vs. Jason
3) Freddy's Revenge
2) Dream Warriors
1) A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

There's some wriggle room here - every time I see New Nightmare, I like it a little less, but it's possible it's a better movie than Freddy vs. Jason. Also, it's possible I'd rate Freddy's Dead over the 2010 remake, but I'd need to see Freddy's Dead again before confirming that.

I saw Orphan: First Kill in theatre last week. Actually pretty good. Just when you think they're re-hashing the same type of movie, it adds a nice twist halfway through. Somewhere around 7-8 / 10.

Never actually seen the first Orphan movie (having heard the twist beforehand, it's just not been high on my priority list), I'm happy that the sequel seems to at least be decent also. Heard generally the same thing on Twitter.

Watched some classics in recent times.

The Washington County Disappearances (2022)
Night of the Axe (2022)
Hellraiser: Revelations (2011)
Firestarter: Rekindled (2002)
Night of the Scarecrow (1995)
13 Tracks to Frighten Agatha Black (2022)
Srpski film / A Serbian Film (2010)

Of the seven films, six were new watches (as I've seen Hellraiser: Revelations before).

The Washington County Disappoerances was rather awful found footage. Night of the Axe was a decently fun micro-budget slasher. Rekindled was an okay mini-series, though as a sequel to the 1984 movie, it was awful.

Night of the Scarecrow was a simple film, but had some charm to it. 13 Tracks to Frighten Agatha Black had potential, but it struck me as somewhat incoherent. Lastly, A Serbian Film was somewhat fucked up, but not quite as bad as I expected.

Honestly, as poor as it is, I think a case could be made that Deader (the seventh film) is close to being as bad. I don't think it's worse, but the two might be on equal grounds.

Definitely, though, Revelations is the worst of the franchise, though I still need to see Judgment, and for all I know, that could be worse.

I doubt Judgment will contend for worst. My wife really likes that one and I think it's pretty alright for what it is.

I watched Judgment last night. Had some serious problems with it, but I did think that Revelations was worse.

Although, I think a good case could be made that Revelations was a better Hellraiser movie than Judgment, despite being a worse film overall.
