Horror movies

...looks totally like Evil Dead mixed with some stephen king'ish movie moments which is a good thing.

As long as they're not the final scenes of a SK-ish movie. Seems as though most Stephen King movies just run out of steam at the end.

It was only a matter of time before someone did a Nightmare remake. I can get into it as long as they don't butcher it all up. Lame pun not intended. An example of how not to do a remake is Texas Chainsaw Massacre... Anyway I love the original Nightmare so I'll be looking forward to it.

I am a horror movie fan, and just watched Dawn of the Dead for the first time. Pretty cool zombie film, but i think they could have cut it down a little bit. At the end i was kinda getting tired of it. But im excited to watch the sequel zombi!

Zombi isn't the sequel to Dawn of the Dead- Day of the Dead is, although they aren't really directly related other than existing in a zombified world. Zombi is what Day of the Dead was called internationally, and Zombi 2 by Lucio Fulci (called Zombie in America) has no relation to the Dead series whatsoever. It is a cool movie to watch though, if only for the zombie vs. shark scene The end is pretty boring unless you're into watching people throw a zillion Molotov cocktails, but it's worth seeing for the makeup effects (as most Fulci films are).

Thoughts? Opinions? While I'm gonna miss Robert Englund, this casting choice makes me interested in this.......I hate to say the word.......remake.

Thanks for telling us - I'm thrilled!

Which one did you guys like best?

I liked the 1st one best, and the 4th one 2nd best. I love the part with the pizza!

I picked up "The Return of the Living Dead" (1984) with Linnea Quigley (running around naked in it) from amazon the other day - one of my favorites!

A comedy/horror that's well worth watching.

I think that's the first one where a zombie vocalizes that he wants brains, which is now what everyone thinks of when they think of zombies.

Yup the slimy black zombie. I love "Return of the Living Dead". It's a great mix of cool zombies and some humor. Pretty good ending too with the contingency plan.

Anyone seen Splinter yet?

I picked it up a couple of days ago but haven't had time to watch all of it yet. I'm about 2/3 of the way through and I like it. For a low budget flick the acting is good, especially on the part of Shea Whigham. Some of his reactions and responses are so "dead on".

I put it on my Netflix Instant queue, and within a week it had been taken off automatically. It's supposed to be available again in a week, so I'll see it then.

I tried watching both of those over the past couple months (along with some horrible ones with Dominique Swain- seems like she's in a dozen of them), and couldn't make it halfway though.

It sounds pretty good from reviews at Bloody-Disgusting & Rotten Tomatoes

I finished watching it tonight. Not bad! It took a twist in the story line at the end I wasn't expecting, but it would have been a lot better if they hadn't used the erratic, jerky camera motion in every scene with the creature. I really didn't care for that at all.

In the special features there was a clip about recruiting a gymnast to play the part and how hard they worked on all these strange contortionist motions but it seems to have been wasted effort with the choppy final product. They probably could have hired a meth junkie off the street and spent five minutes zipping him into a rented Halloween suit.

Other than than, thumbs up.

I wish you guys could get the chance to see "Planet Terror" - It has everything one could want in a horror movie - blood, guts, gore, laughs, hot chicks, and cool music.

And a pretty good cast too: Rose McGowan - Freddy Rodriguez - Josh Brolin - Jeff Fahey - Michael Biehn - Naveen Andrews - Bruce Willis

Who said we haven't seen it? I love that movie

 

[rustynuts]

I bought it at Walmart this afternoon!

I liked death proof better. Especially that last car chase

I liked it, but not better than "Planet Terror", and you're right - that last car chase/confrontation was excellent

Planet Terror> Death Proof. Tarentino was on autopilot there.
