The Horror Thread - Part 6

[NDX]

For some reason any time I see a copy of NotLD at the salvation army I pick it up. I think I have 3 or 4 dvds and a VHS of it so far.

^ because it's a classic

Finally watched The Final Girl today. I watched most of it a few months ago, but then had some trouble with my internet and couldn't see the end. So I rewatched what I had seen before and finally got to see the ending. It was a fun movie. Not very scary, but then it wasn't meant to be. A cool blend of Friday The 13th and Last Action Hero. I enjoyed it, and will probably pick it up on DVD once I see it.

Apparently a kid who graduated from my school directed that movie.

I saw Krampus the other week, it was a very fun movie.

'The Omen' Prequel in the Works (Exclusive) http://thr.cm/7MZKKc

Forty years after it was first released, The Omen is coming back to the big-screen in the form of a prequel that is being pieced together by 20th Century Fox.


Antonio Campos, the indie filmmaker who most recently directed the Sundance movie Christine, is in negotiations to helm the supernatural horror thriller that is titled The First Omen and being produced by David Goyer and his Phantom Four banner.

Ehh..Goyer..

An Omen prequel? What are they going to do, show the Devil seducing a Jackal?

Recommended Hammer horror movie.

Well I subjected myself to Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension.... Wow it was worse than I thought. Awful CGI, stupid plot, no scares...

The Marked Ones, despite silly ending, was a pretty decent return to form after the boring PA4. This was just so bad. And it wasn't even a real ending. Not to mention it left more questions (and plot holes) than answers.

I watched Southbound the other night after a friend recommended it to me. I checked out the trailer first and was instantly sold but unfortunately the movie didn't pay off. I was bored halfway through and didn't care about any of the characters. It has a solid trailer though hah

 

[Guts]

Southbound is a good anthology movie but a crappy horror movie.

 

[chamber-music]

Southbound bored me.

You guys should check out The Witch...or else Black Philip will find yo ass.

Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?

Has anyone watched The Boy yet? Could anyone tell me what they thought, it caught my interest a while back but not sure if it is worth a watch or not.

It is pretty boring until the last twenty minutes

Wait, which "The Boy" are you talking about? Because that could be an accurate complaint about the indie film with Rain Wilson.

Don't know if anyone knows but there is a movie coming out in October called The black room starring natasha henstridge and a slew of other actors. Production is a wrap and now being edited. The premise sounds interesting.

As a fan of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, I always loved the end credits of Freddy's Dead, Fantastic song and video. Technically, they did kill Freddy from the main series too since New Nightmare is a different universe and Freddy vs Jason is a spin-off with the remake being a whole new entry.

The latest in a series of short films about the life of Freddy Krueger as The Springwood Slasher by Blinky Productions. This one is called Krueger: The Legend Of Elm Street.

 

[redhawk23]

You guys should check out the new movie Hush from the director of Occulus. Blumhouse decided to take it straight to Netflix but it's great. It's a right little home invasion thriller but with an interesting angle as the home owner is deaf. Leads to a lot of extra and inventive tension.

Recently I've been watching a bunch of old horror movies. The * before the title denotes first time viewing.


*Isle of the Dead (1945) Boris Karloff
*Bedlam (1946) Boris Karloff
*The Body Snatcher (1945) Boris Karloff
*I Walked with a Zombie (1943) Tom Conway
Cat People (1942) Simone Simon
*The Curse of the Cat People (1944) Simone Simon
*The Leopard Man (1943) Dennis O'Keefe
*The Seventh Victim (1943) Kim Hunter
*Doctor X (1932) Lionel Atwill
*The Return of Doctor X (1939) Humphrey Bogart
*Cat Girl (1957) Barbara Shelley
Mr. Sardonicus (1961) Guy Rolfe


The first 8 above were produced by Val Lewton. In my opinion they are all excellent and highly recommended for their sets, mood, atmosphere, cinematography, etc. Quite impressive for being done in only 4 or 5 years and for the fact that the studio he made them for (RKO) gave him the titles and said write a movie about this.

ISLE OF THE DEAD is set during the Greek civil war of 1912. Boris Karloff plays a general who leaves the battlefield for a quick visit to a small island used as a large cemetary to visit the grave of his wife. He finds several other people there, and there is plague among them. He orders no one to leave the island until the plague has passed or all have died. Trouble is, one old lady claims one of them is a vampire and that is what is killing them off and not the plague.
BEDLAM is set in the Bedlam insane asylum of the 1700's. Karloff runs it, not caring if his inmates live or die from the horrid conditions. A rich man has his ex mistress falsely imprisoned there...will she make it out alive and sane?
THE BODY SNATCHER is set in early 1800's Scotland a few years after the infamous Burke and Hare murders (the local medical school needed bodies for the students to practice on...Burke and Hare went from digging up recent burials to supply the school to saving time by just killing people and delivering them)...the school still needs bodies, and Karloff now supplies them.
I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE....Canadian nurse gets a job to tend for a sick woman in the West Indies....unfortuantly she's a zombie.
CAT PEOPLE an East European woman believes she will turn into a black panther when sexually aroused.
THE CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE sequel to the Cat People in name only....three characters from the movie appear in this as the same people, except instead of woman turning into cat it is a ghost story.
THE LEOPARD MAN....is an escaped leopard killing people in a small New Mexico town or is there a deranged man doing it? The DVD has commentary by William Friedken (The Exorcist) who calls it one of his favorite movies.
THE SEVENTH VICTIM....woman looking for her missing sister in New York City finds out that she is on the run from a Satanist cult group.

The 2 Doctor X movies were made by the same studio (WB) and even though the title character had the same name, there is no connection between the two. DOCTOR X is about the search for a cannibalistic serial killer that leads to a scientific research facility headed by Doctor Xavier (Lionel Atwell) who then decides to ferret him out himself. THE RETURN OF DOCTOR X is about an executed murderer, Dr. Xavier (Humphrey Bogart) who has been brought back to life through the use of experimental "synthetic blood"....but now must kill others and drain and transfer their blood into him to continue living.

CAT GIRL British horror story....does a woman have a family curse where she turns into a leopard woman to kill...or is she just insane?

MR. SARDONICUS....terrified while digging up his father's grave in search of a winning lottery ticket, a man's face is frozen in a hideous grinning mask....he has doctors and mad assistants perform experiments on people to try and find a way to return his face to normal.

I saw Mr. Sardonicus a couple years ago and his smile was creepy.

I know this would never happen because 2 different studios are involved and its another crazy idea but....
What if the Predator & Friday the 13th Franchise crossed paths?
Think about it.
The Predator, being the ultimate hunter from a distant galaxy lands at Crystal Lake hearing about earth's slaughter machine Jason.
Technology vs. supernatural power.
who would win?
Could the Predator even track Jason with his heat sensor vision?
Jason being a zombie,some type of undead, would he even give off a heat signature for the Predator to track?
More studios should consider working together & sharing costs to make joint ventures work.
Not necessarily this one but..........its a guilty pleasure i'd like to see nonetheless.

That'd be really cool actually. In the right hands it'd be a fun movie. I love the idea of Evil Dead crossing paths with Friday the 13th myself. Imagine Bruce Campbell's old Ash taking on Jason. That'd be so cool. I think it'd work as a mini-series to be honest. Make it like a special for the Ash vs. Evil Dead show.

Watching this the other night.

Really enjoyed it.

That'd be an awesome idea. At the very last, you can act out a battle in Mortal Kombat X t:

Thank You. Your idea is actually just as good.
I could hear Ash's one liners in my head as he fights Jason.

Thank you. And yes you can do that.
