Toy Story (1994)

The scene where all the "tortured" toys in Sid's yard "raised" up again him... the horror, THE HORROR!!

Joking aside, had anyone had the chance to watch Haunted Room?

Any good?

Yup Rick Baker did a fantastic job with the makeup effects. You should watch it in High Def when you get the chance.

i dont think this movie is that scary. its only nice in the movies bcause of the big screen and sound effects. not so scary or spooky when u watch it alone at home.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

Okay, I was bored yesterday. It was showing in the cinema opposite from my apartment, so I went.

The original nightmare (1984) was... well lacking a better term original (storyline concept etc)

Hollywood is out of ideas. They had resorted to pinching from Asia and remaking popular horror movies!

Now, how does the latest re-imagination fare?

Visually GREAT

Sonically FANTASTIC

Storyline, is tweaked for modern audiences and kinda worked.

I do have a few peeves to pick with the movie though

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


so, how does Jackie Earle Haley vs Robert Englund?

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


I have to say, I've always been a fan of Wes Craven Nightmare (my favorites are 1,3 and new Nightmare)

I like this re-imagined version Nightmare more then I did the re-imagine version of Friday The 13th.

Then again, I never really "GOT" the Friday the 13th series....

There are several 3D "horror" movie coming out soon.

i really not appeal to these 3D movie stuff. For me it just a gimmick. I never care about picture quality as long as it watchable even on SD. That's why i like most of B-horror movie from 60's - 80's because the story and horror is so interesting.

So is it safe for me to assume you had watched

The Blob (1988)
The Stuff (1985)
The Puppet Masters (1994) [The one with Donald Sutherland and NOT the one with the anak patung!!?]
Village of the Damned (1960)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

Yes?

There "ghost" are very similar looking...

I had watched majority of the listed films

The Blob for both the old 1958s version and the 1988s version

The Stuff, wish i watched it but can't "find" it

I have watched both Puppet Masters (ala Body Snatchers version with Donald Sutherland) and majority of the "original" Puppet Masters sequels

I have watched the original Village of the Damned (1960s version) and the 1995s remake with Christopher Reeve

I have watched the 1978s version of the Body Snatchers, ironically never watched the original version but did watched the 2007s remake.

Perhaps you want some interesting films...such as... "Cannibal Holocaust: Cannibals vs Commandos"

I find it hilarious to see japanense tribesmen eatting american commandos

I would also recommend to everyone to watch the 1983's Sleepaway Camp (not the remake, although the original actress is in the remake i believe)

Hi Sadist Reaper... Interesting moniker! smile.gif

Thank you for sharing.

Can you please let us know, for the movies you had the chance to watched, what you think of them?

One movie that I've always wanted to watched but never had a chance to get a copy of is

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! (1978)

There was another version of Body Snatchers (1993). It had a somewhat big budget (for the time) and the only thing worth mention about THAT version is the Gabriel Anwar. Don't even get me started on the latest inception (Plastic Kidman!!!)

The Stuff is a little bit like the Blob, except people ate it (like frozen yogurt) and then strange things started to happen.

Question, have you watched Needful Things, based on Stephen Kings book with Max Von Sydow as lead? If yes, what do you think?

Hey Mov Freak... How ya doing. Havent seen ya around in the HT section...

didnt understand your review.. was it good or not?

My GF seems to be a little sadistic and like to watch horror movies. Anything good on Blu Ray? (need to push the speakers you got me...)

Hi Bishop

I'm fine thank you and you?

Yeah, am staying away from the HT forum, too many toys, NOT enough "M"!! sad.gif

Glad you are enjoying your setup.

I did like the new A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Graphic is good, sound good and the story line works (they tweak the storyline a little)

I had some issues with the "young un" they cast, but can live with it.

As for a good horror BD to give your setup a good run in, I'll recommend Drag me To Hell. Beware, this movie is either you love it or you hate it.

I LUV it!!

Other recommendation for BD work out are would be

I Am Legend (2007)
Underworld: Rise of the Lycan (2009)
Hellboy 1 & 2 (2004 & 2008)
Constantine (2005)
The Mist (2007)
Angel Heart (1987 a very SLOW movie, but the ending is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious) laugh.gif
Identity (2003)
Stir of Echoes (1999)
From Hell (2001)

Enough for now??

So when you say you GF is sadistic, you mean she practicing her skills on you... laugh.gif (I'm bad.....)

My bad, i thought you meant something else, forget about what i mentioned earlier. I think i would preffer the old classics (i meant the 70s/80s classics, not the 40s-60s) than the modern current horror films. The modern horror films relied too much either to CG effects or have too much gore to compensate the horror and to cater the gore hounds. They don't make good old horror films like they used to, where they relied special effects (rather than CG) and not overused the gore, but it doesn't mean that there isn't any good horror films in the current modern times. Take Paranormal Activity, it's simple but terrifying and don't take up much of budget, effects or even CG.

That's my take, i hope that's what you meant of what i think about them.

I did watched Attack of the Killer Tomatoes...it was the most ridiculous movie i have ever seen, i rented a VHS video of it and even watched the animation version for it too. Fun to watch, if you're willing to just accept that tomatoes can really kill people.

Yes, i do have a copy of Needful things, it's a bit draggy but it gets quite interesting once the characters have set in. I say, the movie is pretty good but the movie didn't deliver what Stephen King wrote in the book. In the book, there were utter chaos, deaths, it may even looked that the town were hit by an amarggeddon. But the end of the movie, it didn't deliver as much chaos or deaths as depicted in the book. I say, yes, i would recommend people to watch this. Leland Gaunt in the movie, showed as a very, charismatic person, smooth talking and manipulative "salesman" (like the devil).

Last year, i managed to watch the original Last House from the Left and then the recent release remake. The original film involved more rape compared to the remake. As far as the revenge goes, i preffered the old one better.

I also managed to "obtain" the original 1973's Crazies, haven't had the time to watch it yet. But i did manage to watch the remake.

I gotta agree with you on this, i'm not a big fan with jap horror. After the Ring and Ju On, i think i remembered that there's half of the jap/korean horror films involved with some female ghost, with long hair covering their faces and wearing some white dress. Not sure why everyone's so into these kinda horror films (probably the hype after the Ring/Ju On films) but everyone's picking up the pace like Thai's Shutter, or even our Malaysian made films that involves these kinda ghosts. Kinda tiring to see these "ghosts".
*
I think new movie bosses and director are so amoured by CGI they sometime forget the story is important.

Take Pixar for example, they are at the cutting age of CGI but they NEVER produce a movie, BEFORE they get the story right, which is why their movie does so well. Disney used to be like Pixar and after Walt Disney dead, people over at Disney continued making animation without scripts (something that Walt Disney pioneered??) and their animation didn't sell from then on (The Great Mouse Detective and Black Cauldron comes to mind). The then CEO, put his foot down and stated that the next animation they made, HAD TO HAVE a script and THAT animation was Little Mermaid and it made a lot of money in the box office. It THEN dawned on them that they reason they didn't need script when Walt Disney was around, was because HE WAS the LIVING SCRIPT! He knew exactly what story he wanted to tell and he guided the animator through the story process.

Yes, thank you for sharing.

as for Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, it's called CAMP!! I LIKE CAMP!!!?! laugh.gif

Max Von Sydow is great as Leland Gaunt (THE devil). I really REALLY like this movie. I haven't read the book. Surprisingly, I DON'T read Stephen kings books. Please DON"T kill me!! smile.gif

Last House from the Left, I've only managed to watched the remake so cannot compare.

Haven't watched the original Crazies neither, how is the remake. have seen the trailer and it seems interesting.

Paranormal activity is a GREAT example of how to make a spooky movie without a GAZILLION dollar for special effect and "popular" actors!!

Thanks for sharing again Sadistic Reaper

The 1988 remake of The Blob freaked me out.
It squeeze itself in and out of everything everywhere.
laugh.gif

Did not watch Donald Sutherland's Puppet Monster.
But the one with puppets is not a good movie.
Speaking of Donald Sutherland, should try Don't Look Now.

Only watched the 1978 version of the Body Snatcher.
It started off slow but it is very good once the body snatchers started to take over the town.
And the ending.....ARRRGGGGHHHHH!

Why are you laugh.gif when you said "It squeeze itself in and out of everything everywhere" hmm.gif smile.gif

Yes, the anak patung Puppetmaster wasn't very good, which was why I stated Donald Sutherland one not the anak patung one!

I've never got to watch the 1978 Body Snatcher... now you make me itch to see it!! laugh.gif

Yup, Puppetmaster series (not Donald Sutherland's) are not really that great, some of the sequels from 1 - 3 were average at best. But its what Full Moon productions made such cult films. I like the cheesiness of the entire series. Blade's one of my favorite characters, wish i bought the action figures for them.

I also am curious of wanting to "obtain" the 2001 released, called Slashers. Its canadian produced movie and the sypnosis is about a japanese's number 1 reality tv show called, well, "Slashers", having the contestents go through arena (or something) and avoid getting killed by the "Slashers", and try to make it to the end to win millions of dollars cash prize. A direct attempt to make a parody regarding japanese reality tv shows contests.

Also, IMBD gave a 5.4 out of 10, an average and not be taken too seriously, considering the absurdity of the story line itself.

I also will be needing to "obtain" the 1977's Shock Wave. Never had the chance to watch it and its difficult to "obtain" it. Nazi undead underwater super soldiers, its quite an interesting premise.

And finally, 1974's Black Christmas, i haven't had the chance to watch this either. Killer's first person perspective is interesting
*
Wow, you love your Horror B-Movie (I assure you this is NOT an insult!!)

I'm afraid I had not had the chance to see the above

I haven't even had a chance to watched the original Piranha (1978)!! Reason being, 1) cannot get a "copy" 2) was too young to sneak into the cinema when it first showed... sad.gif

I think I have the Japenese movie 9part 1 & 2 right) about a group of japanese high school kids who were shipped to an isolated area and then were given weapon and told to play hide and seek with each out (Battle Royale??) Or am I completely wrong...

Yup, that's Battle Royale alright. I never liked the sequel, somehow, the feel of the movie for Battle Royale in the sequel isn't there like in the first film...actually, not too sure why they need a sequel for this film since the novel already ended just like in the first film. I read the manga, way too much porno.

You can say "porno" in this forum!!?? laugh.gif

Speaking of "animals" based horror, sorta, i like the 1990's Arahnophobia, starring Jeff Daniels, it's pretty good movie (IMBD gave it 6.2 out of 10). My first viewing, ironically, was in RTM Tv, then my second viewing was in Astro. I wish i gotten my hands on a DVD on this movie.

Also, if you like dogs, never forget the 1983's Stephen King's Cujo and 1993's Man's Best Friend.
I do LIKE Arachnophobia, and have a good copy on DVD!! smile.gif Nope watching movies like THAT on RTM is definitely a killjoy!! I also have a good copy of Cujo in DVD and also something I like very much (you can see what I like on the first few page of this forum). Like this alot more then Eight Legged Freaks THAT'S for sure!! smile.gif

QUOTE
I need to watch the 1990's Misery, starring Kathy Bates. I seen the trailers and a bit of talk from some top 100 horror movies in youtube, and i'm pretty interested to watch this. One of Kathy Bates' great films about obssessive fan trapping her favorite romance novel writer in her home. Pretty gripping stuff
Yup have this on DVD and like it too. smile.gif

Speaking of Animals, have you had a chance to see Pet Semetary? nod.gif??

Wow, the slasher sub genre is generating alot of discussion.

To me slasher movies are like Halloween and Friday the 13th.

My favorite is Scream!! smile.gif

Lots of wit and twist.

Interesting how they get someone as famous as Drew Barrymore and snuffed her less then 5 minutes into the movie, also the first time I saw Rose McGowan!! laugh.gif
