Not exactly sure what that is.

It's a well made slasher movie, but there no scene that stands out as being particularly scary or memorable imo.

Its probably the mask. . . .

Still not as bad as the Halloween H20 mask.

evilive · 09-24-2015, 09:38 PM

I haven't seen H20 in its entirety, but I do know they were using multiple masks and even a CG one!

even though we now know it's a cheat, the very last scene has always given me chills!! I find it very memorable...

Yeah it's great until you start watching part 5 and realize they basically ignore everything that happened at the end of part 4.

I feel like they missed a big opportunity there.

...Jamie teaming up with her beloved Uncle Michael would've been epic.

It's more than that.

Some of it is the acting--the lady who played Rachel is pretty bland.

Some of it is the kills--which aren't very creative or brutal imo.

Some of it is how they shot Michael Meyers, which wasn't very compelling imo.

...I don't think the mask is that bad to be honest.

9/21 - The Mephisto Waltz (1971) - A moody / atmospheric occult thriller that perfectly sets the tone for my Halloween film festival.

9/22 - Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971) - Another early '70s occult thriller to set the mood.

9/23 - The Shuttered Room (1967) - Great moody and atmospheric Gothic horror film.

9/24 - The Abominable Dr Phibes (1971) - Nuff' said!

9/24 - The Lords of Salem

Enjoyed the way this starts out, really good with the outdoor autumn cinematography & the ambiance & great pacing. Then it picks up to much in bizarro world for my taste. This movie could have been so much more then it turned out.

I think it all falls under the direction.

I mean, same script and John Carpenter = GOLD!! I feel like the direction lets it down. That actually goes for all the non-Carpenter sequels. The lack of blue hue, rising tension and music can all be attributed to John Carpenter's absence IMO!

The H20 mask committed the cardinal sin of showing way too much of Michael Meyer's eyes.

...it was the soulless black-holed eyes that made him look so evil.

(*) - 1st Time Viewing

9/24/15

Drive Thru* -

Going in, I didn't expect this movie to be spectacular. But this isn't even one of those "so bad it's good". For the movie about a killer clown, it's really quite boring. The story is as clichéd as can be and there is just too much time in between killings. Plus, for a movie called Drive Thru, most of the movie takes place outside the restaurant. The only real positive thing I can say is that the kills were over-the-top and gory and were, by far, the best part of the movie.

"Oh, the horror" so far this year:

just looking at the pic reminds me of Sweettooth from Twisted Metal lol... looks like a video game cover

AKORIS · 09-25-2015, 03:02 PM

CATACOMBS

Another low budget (but looks pretty good considering) C-grade title from Scream.. a bit on the slow side for the first half, picks up towards the end, and then disappoints a bit with the silly make-up effects of the final demon...

1/2

I haven't seen either of these and the blu ray is sitting in my chart with scream factory... making me think about removing it now.

And you know, it did actually feel like I was watching a video game. Just without the fun.

17. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2- bizarre, zany, crazy film. I hated it a year ago, have more acceptance of it now, its got as many positives as negatives, but stays on my shelf. I get it but also am so confused by it.

18. Late Phases (Night of the Lone Wolf) - great effects, solid werewolf film of the few good ones that exist!

19. Cockneys VS Zombies -hilarious rip roaring fun.

20. Dog Soldiers - a blast, another great werewolf film

21. The Descent- extremely effective truly horrific film Marshall does it again

22. In the Mouth of Madness - John Carpenter rocks, bizarre film Sam Neil's acting is top notch

23. The Sentinel - atmospheric, great cast, creepy ending

24. The Editor - one of my new favorites, check this one out people

9/24 - Strip Nude for Your Killer -

-Good Atmosphere, keeps the tension up for about 45 mins, then starts to drag a bit. A LOT of random nudity. Overall, I liked it, about middle of the road giallo. stars Edwige Fenech, so that makes if alright in my book.
