Bug (2006)
i would like to squash this movie like a bug!
I bought this movie knowing it wasn't a sci-fi horror flick I was expecting a movie that would keep my attention though and this certainly didn't deliver the goods, extremely boring in all aspects of the film, I usually agree with the majority of film critics on this site, in fact I wont buy nothing until I read about 6 reviews first from this site. This time I have to disagree with a lot of the people who wrote this was good, I fully understand the movie but man was it a dull movie, if you have insomnia watch this flick and you wont have a problem finding dream land I promise, I am not saying that you would dislike it, but if you were me you wouldn't waste your time.....by the way does anyone want to buy a movie I got one for sell.
Fear of Clowns (2004)
not a bad little flick
Alright I will let you know this 8 stars I have given this is on a low budget scale not on my real horror scale I know a lot of people say either the movie sucks or it is good, but that is not a fair assumption higher budgeted movies can do a lot more because they have the funds to do so. The only thing I look for in a straight to video release is can it keep me awake or interested and 99% fail at that, but this one passed the test Mr. Kangas did a good job on this movie and I will look for future releases from him. I wouldn't recommend rushing out and buying this today, overall it was an interesting piece of work. I really liked the killer clown he was cool, on a big budget they could have added a lot more death scenes and things of that nature but anyway on a straight to video release Ill give this one 8 stars and that is high coming from me most of the other ones average around 2 to 3 stars, give it a chance I think you might like it but then again you might hate it.
The Evil Dead (1981)
True horror genius, this movie is top 5 all time !!!!
I am watching this flick right now (in the mood for some ash) and I can't believe I haven't wrote anything on this masterpiece! I will start out by saying nothing new can touch this film, not even close! This movie is truly amazing knowing how low of a budget they had and could make a movie that can stand the test of time! I was never really a big Bruce campbell fan growing up, but now that I am older He is one of one of my favorite actors and Evil dead is one my favorites. I wouldn't recommend this flick to someone who scares easily, but if you are a bonafied gorehound and haven't seen it you don't know what you are missing! I got this on DVD with some cool extra's I have watched the film with Bruce"s documentary on it and he is really smart and funny, so sit back and turn out all the lights and enjoy the Evil Dead!!!!!
Bleed (2002)
i didn't think it was as bad as i thought it would be
I had read all the reviews before i dared to watch it, and I went into it expecting the worse but when I started watching it I didn't think it was all that bad. I have seen much worse low budget modern crap and granted this is by no means great, it was watchable. I watched it without fast forwarding through it like I did other low budget films like jack o lantern or s.i.c.k for example I wouldn"t recommend this film to no one in particular but there actually is a story to follow unlike some of the other movies that lose you and bore you to death. I would say that maybe I thought it was alright because I went into it expecting total garbage, I wouldn't say rush out and rent it now, but it's not at the bottom of my list of modern low budget horror flicks either. roll the dice if you like , don't expect much and you might enjoy it.
Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988)
one of my favorites of the series!!!
I really liked this one, I thought it had high energy throughout the film. This one doesn't ever get dull once Jason comes out of the lake ,there is a huge body count almost everyone in this film gets whacked, Jason is well rested up and he is ticked off! Kane Hodder is the best Jason there is, even though I love the old Fridays more than the new ones(except for this one) I think the idea of Jason vs Carrie is a pretty cool idea, and it worked out well this one is truly fun and Jason has some really cool kills in this one like the sleeping bag slammed into the tree, knife in the throat, even a death by a weed eater! Well I wouldn't say this one is the best of the series but you can do worse I think part 4 is the best and part 9 is the worst! this one is probably 2nd or 3rd on my list, really a high paced, fun slasher flick enjoy as Jason racks up the body count!!!!
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Halloween part 3 isn't the best one, but also not the worst!
Halloween part 3 is a pretty good flick all in all, my only advice to you is to not expect a Halloween based sequel. I know it took me a long time to build up the nerve to watch this one but I'm glad I did. I knew that Michael myers wasn't in it so I thought I wouldn't waste my time with this crap, but it turned out to be pretty good and the Halloween countdown song for silver shamrock is frickin funny! I am not going to say that this is awesome or it's the best Halloween movie of the series because then you would think I was looney,or just plain stupid, but I will say that I am glad I have it in my horror movie collection because it is a pretty decent flick, a little slow at times but still good. by the way my personal least favorite of the series is resurrection I thought it was pretty bad, but not one of these movies would I say sucks. 7 out of ten stars!!!
House on Haunted Hill (1999)
pretty cool flick
This movie was pretty cool, even though there was hardly no gore Any all in it. I watched this movie when it first came out on video around the same time as the haunting(which I thought stunk) and I have watched it several times since. The acting in the film is great that takes it a long way and I like dr vandacutt now being in that house you would really be in a bad situation. geoffrey rush delivered a great performance as steven price and I really liked chris kattan as prichett he played that role great as well. I wouldn't say everyone would like this one as much as I do but the scene where price is put into the crazy chamber is really cool, I liked this movie and would recommend it to you as at least a rental, it's gotta be alright coming from a guy who bashes almost any new horror movie that comes out, overall pretty good and well paced, Great acting, enjoy!
...E tu vivrai nel terrore! L'aldilà (1981)
Fulci rocks!!!!
Well let me start off by saying that this movie is awesome! I love Fulci's way of doing gore scenes he'll put the camera right up on the victim in a close up as they are getting waxed! I love this movie and am now a Fulci fan I have this movie and house by the cemetery, new york ripper, zombi and I have don't torture a duckling on the way. I know a lot of people will disagree with me here by I like Fulci's movies better than Argento's movies. I do agree Fulci doesn't have any plotting in his flicks but I don't care because he keeps you entertained with some of the wildest and grossest kill scenes that there are out there and this flick is one of his best. If you like movies that make sense or have a mystery behind them then you may want to look elsewhere because this isn't for you, but if you want to see gore galore then check this one out because it is a tool!
I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)
i know that i think this movie stinks!
I don't know why people even bothering watching these new slasher movies because they all stink. I mean the fisherman isn't even a cool slasher. The 2 horror movies that have came out in the past couple of years that are worth checking out is high tension and house of a 1000 corpses those were really cool, one movie made in France and the other by a rock star! I think ozzy should make a horror movie because it would be better than this. I think the main problem lies in the generation gap people who were kids in the late 70s or early 80s got to see horror in its prime, then the audience wasn't so much targeted at teenagers like they are now. I'm in total agreement with another reviewer of this movie on here, it's not even worth writing a review on this movie.
House of Wax (2005)
this movie is garbage, would someone please take out the trash!!
Well i rented this movie with no expectations(thankfully) and i watched this movie all the way through somehow. I don't have a lot to say about it because mostly I didn't think that much about it. The only people I would recommend this movie to would people who like their horror weak, stuff such as scream, I know what you did last summer,13ghosts, the ring,etc. If you are a fan of real horror flicks such as Halloween, Texas chainsaw massacre, evil dead just to name a few stay far away from this crap, I mean come on their are two crazed killers who have seemingly killed an entire town and they can't take out one guy and a girl ,in fact they get whipped by them. Well maybe it's just me but I thought this movie sucked! My 2 stars given to this one is being very generous.
Eaten Alive (1976)
a must see for Hooper fans !!!!!!
I can't believe how cool and refreshing this film was, also I cant believe I hadnt heard of this one before. I purchased this one online the other day and got to watch it for the 1st time last night and I was totally blown away it was like watching a cousin of the Texas chainsaw massacre the owner of the hotel had the same psychotic motions and laughs as of leatherface and his brother when someone was getting killed. I loved this film and will watch this jewel again. I thought everything about this film was truly cool. If you loved TCM as much as i do then you will love this one too. I can't believe there are some bad reviews on this movie. CHECK THIS FILM OUT IF YOU LOVE 70'S HORROR for this will be a breathe of fresh air if you have never seen it by far Hoopoer's second best film of all time!!
Macabro (1980)
this one is way out in left field...
I recently purchased this movie along with blade in the dark on a double disk and I had purchased this to see blade in the dark, well after not being to awfully impressed by that one I thought this one would really blow chunks but I thought what the hay I'll give it a shot. I was surprised by this movie it had hardly no action in it and I still didn't fall asleep, I was watching this flick and couldn't turn it off something about will keep you watching it, but I still don't know what that is. I will say I thought this one was better than blade in the dark but neither one are a true masterpiece. demons is still the best lamberto bava film.
Suspiria (1977)
not the greatest horror flick of all time
I recently found this movie online and ordered it on high expectations from a lot of reviews I had read on here, I watched it for the 1st time and didn't think that much about it. I would say that i found it better than deep red which I own as well. The problem I had with this movie is I loved the beginning of this movie it truly is one of the best openings in a horror movie but after the double murder scene the movie goes cold. It's like it turned into a drama, it truly would have been better if there was a lot more scenes like the opening scene. I have only scene this and deep red from argento, I know there is a lot of fans of his work and i must not be one. I would say not to let my opinion stop you from watching it though because there are a ton of people who love it and you might too, but as for me I would just as soon watch a good fulci flick if I'm in the mood for Italian, I will say the colors of this film really are like nothing else I had seen before.
The Return of the Living Dead (1985)
you want to buy some gas idiot
i don't even know where to start with this movie, i would be inclined to call this my favorite movie of all time, it has everything and then some, you cant pick out a favorite character because they all rock. I have seen this movie a million times and like fine wine it keeps getting better with age. I can watch this movie more than even Romero's masterpieces, believe me all the writers here nailed this one on the head if you haven't seen this one your missing a jewel. I love how this movie never gets dull like every other movie does it's a one of a kind, and I hop no one ever tries to remake it because they would fail miserably, and as I was just writing I think I know who my favorite might be, old Ernie Cultenbruener(the mortician) his actions and lines are frickin hilarious! No need to bother with the sequels because they don't hold this ones jock. A real must see for anyone, if you love horror movies or collect them as i do, don't hesitate to buy this one, its packed with so many one liners that are so funny you'll find yourself repeating them long after you watch them. GREAT ,GREAT FLICK!!!!! 10 STARS NO DOUBT!!!!
Night of the Demons (1988)
one of the best low b movies of the 80's!!
I remember watching this film as a kid and I was in complete awe of it, I couldn't take my eyes of the television. This movie has it all for horror fans! This movie had no funny moments expect a couple of one liners by stooge(who was my favorite character in the film) kevin tenney directed this jewel and did a wonderful job with a low budget, I thought the end was awesome the only thing that could stop them was by surviving the night they were unstoppable killing machines! the effects done by steve johnson we're excellent I would recommend this movie to anyone who has a love for low budget horror movies because as the old saying goes they don't make them like this anymore. The sequels were pretty good too, but not as good as good as the original. This is a must have in any horror collection, buy it if you can find it you won't be disappointed
The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1994)
it,s bad... but not the worst I've ever seen
I would like to say first of all this movie is by far the worst TM movie of them all, there is no debating that but I wouldn't say it's the worst movie I have ever seen. I would rather watch this instead of house of the dead, or say the ring. I could make a list of worse or less entertaining movies, but i won't go into detail because that could take a while. Though this is a quite stupid movie I would say i've definitely seen a lot worse. Nothing will ever touch the original of this series, which is a true masterpiece in horror. I feel bad for the one's who had to see this one first before they seen the other's. Let us hope the new prequel of the Texas chainsaw massacre goes back to the roots of terror.
Just Before Dawn (1981)
just before dawn...well worth a rental
I had read a lot of reviews on this movie and some have called it the best backwood slasher movie of all time, I would have to say that it might be up at the top that is for sure. you would think that too if you are an 80's slasher flicks as i am, I am in total agreement with everyone about the pictures of the land in the film, it really is cool, Jeff lieberman did make a pretty good picture. I thought the twins should have been more brutal than what they were, but they were cool as well. I thought the ending where the girl killed the other twin by pushing her fist in his mouth and suffocating him was a little crazy, but overall this is a good movie to watch, and I'm happy it's in my personal collection. I would recommend this movie if you liked wrong turn,even though this one does blow wrong turn away.
Haute tension (2003)
This is the way a slasher flick should be done!
I was really hyped about this movie when it came out, but unfortunately it wasn't showing anywhere close to where I live so I had to wait for it to be released on DVD, well it was well worth the wait! This movie was non-stop action it takes you on a ride and i myself am a gorehound i loved the piano killing and the reality of all the killings. I have talked to a lot of people who have seen this and I have decided this is not a middle of the road type of film you either love it or hate it. I personally would be thrilled to see more movies with the action this one has! I am now a Alexandre Aja fan and can"t wait until the "Hills have eyes " remake is out,that film should be awesome as well! A must see for any slasher fan,I think it is one of the best newer films to come out in a long time!
