Scream Factory just announced that they are releasing this movie for the first time on bluray in June.

Oddly coincidental timing for my review, then.  [*laugh*]

Horror Talk / Re: Prom Night (1980)

Open mouth, insert foot.  [*laugh*]

While I still found it just below average, I did enjoy Prom Night quite a bit more than I have during previous viewings.

Was a long-time coming, but I now appreciate it. Still think many other slashers are better, though, such as Terror Train (1980), My Bloody Valentine (1981), and The Slumber Party Massacre (1982).

One of the few classic 80's slashers that continuously disappoints me, but let me watch it again first before condemning it again.  [*hehehmm*]

It might be entertaining at times, but personally, I wouldn't recommend shelling out the cash to upgrade it.  [*laugh*]

Horror Talk / Wolves at the Door (2016)
March 08, 2018, 12:50:09 AM
Elizabeth Henstridge (an actress most known for her role on Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D.) is perhaps the only reason to see this otherwise soulless home invasion flick, which is better done by movies such as the French flick Ils (2006) and The Strangers (2008).

If you've happened to see this flick, what are your thoughts on it?

Horror Talk / Thir13en Ghosts (2001)

This updated version of the 1960 William Castle classic certainly has some good things going for it, be it setting or ghost design, but overall, it feels rather shallow and lacking.

What say you on this modern retelling of the 1960's classic?

Horror Talk / Spiders (2000)
March 08, 2018, 12:38:23 AM
While certainly a low-quality flick, overall, I found Spiders a moderately enjoyable (if not rather ridiculous at times) movie. Certainly not something I'd go out of my way to find, but catching it on Sy-Fy might not go all that amiss.

Is this a modern-age monster movie you've happened to see?

Horror Talk / Re: It (2017)

Wrote a moderately lengthy review of this one.

Long story short, despite some drawbacks, I thought the kids did a great job, and I enjoyed many of the sequences with Pennywise.

Probably helps that I also had a good theater experience when I first saw this, so that didn't negatively impact my rewatch of it at all.

Overall a great film, and based on what I've seen, an easy top contender for 2017 and perhaps in the top five horror flicks 2010 and up.

I personally like the second and third Candyman, but honestly, there was no need. First was amazing, and the second and third just sorta retread the same material.

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.

Especially since A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child is almost maddening to sit through. [*laugh*]

The late 80's is oversaturated with horror flicks, and I think that this one just gets overlooked a lot of the time.

For it's flaws, I think this movie worked out pretty well. I think I prefer the second one, but at the same time, I think I'd give both movies around 7.5/10 (which, for me, is just above average).

Heard of the name but never really saw anything from this movie. Now that I know it's about large bunnies, I might give it a shot. Still probably not the most ideal movie for my tastes but I'm sure it will be interesting to see how they shot this... I'm guessing they used normal bunnies with small sets?

More or less, yes.  [*laugh*]

Don't me get wrong, the movie isn't amazing, but I found it an enjoyable flick, and at the very least, a passable time to get through a rainy day.

That said, being a 70's flick, there are slower portions, but if you've seen a lot of horror from the early to mid 1970's, it's not too atypical. It does, at times, feel more like a 50's movie (think Earth vs the Spider, The Black Scorpion, or The Giant Gila Monster), but I love a lot of those too, so I'm just biased all around.

Honestly, if you liked Rawhead Rex even a little (I saw you gave it a five or six, I think), I think you'd like Pumpkinhead too, though it does take itself more seriously.
