Once again I have managed to watched MANY MANY movies without writing them down...which was the whole fucking point of this lame little blog. How hard is it to write a list? I've demanded no great critical essays of myself on the wonderful & surreal grittiness of Italian horror (giallos...daaaammmnnn), or the brilliant social commentary of early Romero. Nope. None o' that. Just a goddamn list.
So once again, from memory:
H-- Japanese. So, so very bad. Bad acting, bad writing, bad bad bad. I turned it off after 45 minutes, and I was being very forgiving for letting it go on for that long.
Maniac-- Excellent. Creepy as hell. I have no idea what it's like to be a sweaty, overweight, murdering pervert... but this got me a little closer to it...
Manhattan Baby--It's Fulci, so I felt I had to watch it.
Papherhouse--I loved this strange little film! I could have done without the cheesy 80's score (but that's just how it is with that whole decade...), and the sentimental ending. But it was a magical, chilling little flick that I dug.
Don't Torture A Duckling--Awesome. The beating scene of the witch was groovy. Rob Zombie clearly took inspiration from it.
Latest Harry Potter movie
Black Sunday
Fear of Clowns (don't ask)
The Stink of Flesh--at least they had a good time making it...
The Dead Next Door--I may write an essay about this one sometime. Written, directed, and shot by an 18 year old kid in his small home town. The equivilant of an awkward but sincere love letter from a kid to his biggest crush. It rocked.
Outlaw Dancer--- 3rd personality, Elvis, threatening to kill his wife...priceless. Go to Black Lodge and RENT THIS.
Outlaw Dancer 2
Collateral--should have been titled "predictable & ridiculous" what a steaming pile.
Soft for Digging
House of Voices--beautiful, amazing, feminine ghost story. I friggin loved it.
Murderous Maids--french & fun!
Twitch of the Death Nerve, aka Bay of Blood
Your Vice Is A Locked Room And Only I Have The Key--Yep, that's really the title. Too bad the movie wasn't as good as its name.
Cold Blood & Ghost of a Needle--these two films are by the same duo. Cold Blood was good for a first film. Ghost of a Needle blew it away. I can't WAIT to see their third, Dark Remains, which is doing the festival circuit right now....
Aftermath
Nightmare City
The Freakmaker--oh how I love thee, Donald Pleasence.
The Beyond (again...sigh..it's sooo beautiful)
I, Zombie--This was a cool idea, and for the most part, a cool execution.
Malevolence--- low budget actually shot on 35mm. I thought it was great and can't wait to see what this director can do when given a bigger budget.
There's more, but I can't recall at present.
