What Lies Beneath is a seriously underrated film.

Command performances from Ford and Pfeiffer.

Amittyville Horror


The Ryan Reynolds Amityville? There are about a million remakes of that one. The Reynolds one was pretty good, though. That was the first time I saw RR's range. Dude's actually a really good actor.

And The Strangers started off strong (hella creepy when the girl banged on the door and she told her she had the wrong house but then she started banging on it again- gives me shivers just thinking about that scene) but ended up being a letdown to me.

Yeah the one with RR was the best. A lot of people forget he played that role. He was perfect if you ask me.

The scene where the bitch is in the kitchen washing dishes was ****ing creepy. He was just standing behind her.

Lovely Molly, really liked this movie, had lots of creepy parts.

Session 9 was excellent, but a lot of people know about it now.

Rob Zombie is definitely twisted, and to be honest I generally find classics like The Shining far scarier than his group of hillbillies and crazy clowns

I thought he did real justice with Halloween, though

Train to Busan .... Ghost Story (old flick with legendary cast in their twilight years)...It follows....

Simply Red 10-13-2016 01:24 PM

I can't do subs w/ horror films - for whatever reason - but I'll queue up Ghost Story - I've seen It Follows and was a big fan.

The MOVIE - Penny Dreadful was really good as well, if you liked It Follows. Part of the 8-films to die for. I think they have like 48 movies or thereabouts

Okay I wll give Penny Dreadful a look. As for subtitles in horror flicks...I agree to an extent but after a few minutes....and I can't explain this...but the subs kinda melt into the film and don't jar me like they do at start of a flick. Plus, there are some really good foreign horror films well worth dealing with subs.

The "Rec" series comes to mind here. Devil's Backbone is another, though I'd call that more of a thriller. Countless asian flicks..."Rigormortis" is a recent one from that group.

I enjoyed it.....with trippy movies like that, I typically immediately go to the internet for further details, explanations, meanings, etc.

There are some great interviews with the director, as well as "what it all means" pages on this movie.

A boatload of subcontext going on in this film!

Interesting - yeah it was nicely done. I will have to rewatch it soon.

sedated 10-14-2016 03:45 PM

Saw "The Babadook" last weekend, probably one of my all-time favorites but the ending was disappointing. Just fantastic cinematography, and combines psychological thriller with regular thriller.

Also watched "Honeymoon", and oh boy. While some may consider the ending a bit predictable in terms of WHAT happens, it still left me pretty wide eyed in HOW it happened.

"VHS" and "VHS2" were in there as well. I thought the first one was a cool, original idea but seemed to get a bit stale by the end. VHS2 seemed cleaner than first one, but the "plot" was almost identical so there were few surprises. I guess that the "plot" is more like glue than an actual plot, so maybe they can get away with it more than most.

Babadook was creepy. Very well crafted thriller - and another that I had to do some research after to get more out of it.

The ending left me with more questions....but the good 'ol internet had some good explanations!

Good flick. Maybe not perfect Halloween viewing, but still a good movie.



Anybody a fan of the old Hammer Horror flicks? I love 'em. Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and a boatload of big titted British chicks. I like the earlier ones the best; the were low budget but they had a lot of class and tons of atmosphere.

Completely forgot about this guy until this thread came up. Maybe 10 years ago or so I watched a string of his films. First was Susperia and didn't the praise but powered through some more and finally clicked.

As a director Argento makes George Lucas look great for performances he gets out of his actors (it's so bad I wondered if some were dubbed Italian actors). Once you get past that (which is a big hurdle) the style was at times pretty excellent for some moments. Remember Deep Red and Tenebre were my favorites. No idea why I stopped but Opera was next I intended to watch.

I'm relatively new to his work - He even has a newer one than this one I'm currently watching - which is (again) 2007 - I believe it's a 3D Vampire film. :)

All the stuff of his I have seen is the old stuff maybe pre 1985.

Have a more concise summary of what I remember of his now. Would feel like you are watching a bad B movie for long stretches with very bad acting and not at all interesting setup. Then after you wait through that shit some excellently shot scene (almost always death) would turn up and seem some brilliant director took over.

I'm just dabbling into his work now and I really gather the same already. hahaha
