    What has happened to people?

    I don't know about anyone else, but for me it boils down to my mood at the given moment. I have honestly felt the same as almost every single poster at one point in time or another. Also, many (not all I stress....but many) of these posts in question are a "gut reaction" to a film. A good...

    THREAD OF HORRORS

    Zombie Strippers (2008) Jay Lee This film was languishing down at the bottom of my "to-do list" until my sister gave me a call and said (and I quote) "This is the greatest thing I've seen in forever." Now, I hold this particular sister's opinion on movies in pretty high regard so I had to...

    Evil Dead (1981) Evil Dead 2 (1987) Army of Darkness (1992) Sam Raimi I don't really have anything new to add, these are just some of my favorite films. I love how the theme changes from each film from horror, to comedy, to adventure. Horrorific Darkness (2002) Jaume Balagueró...

    Saw I through IV (2004-2007) James Wan (I) & Darren Lynn Bousman (II-IV) I'm lumping all these together to save space and time. My son and I decided to have a marathon with these. That made the viewing much better. I figure he'll be out the house by next Halloween, so we had some good old...

    Pumpkinhead (1988) Stan Winston Pumpkinhead is pretty much a classic in my book. I first discovered this little gem in the middle of my "horror-hungry" teen years where I would watch anything horror related. And compared to many others coming out around this time (the Puppet Master series...

    Stupid Teenagers Must Die (2006) Jeff C. Smith This craptastic title is also known as Blood & Guts, but the filmmakers later changed the title because Blood & Guts evoked undelivered expectations. While this film certainly isn't horrible for a very low budgeter, the title Stupid Teenagers...

    Satan's Storybook (1989) Michael Rider One of my favorite old school porn stars, Ginger Lynn (who does not get naked :frowning: ), kidnaps the devil's bride to take her to some holy ground and kill her....thus destroying the antichrist before he's even conceived.....or something like that...

    Jaws (1975) Steven Spielberg Jaws never gets old. Wish I could say the same for the sequels. Horrific Jaws 2 (1978) Jeannot Szwarc It's been probably at least 15 years since I last saw this one. Time did nothing to improve it. Not bad (especially compared with some of the...

    Wrestlemaniac (2006) Jesse Baget This is the reason why I sit through so many cruddy B movies. Every so often you find a fun one. A group of youngsters decide to head down to Mexico to film a porno. When they learn they're near La Sangre de Dios, a Mexican Ghost town, they naturally have...

    Because I bore so easily, this year I will be using custom ratings for fun. Horrific...This is the top dog Spatterific...Perhaps not the best film, but fun and watchable Kind of wish I'd took a nap...Not exactly horrible There's 2 hours I'll never get back....not much redeeming value here...

    Zombie Campout (2002) Joshua D. Smith This was one of those SteveGon recommendations. For the first half, it was pretty hard to get through. But as the film went on, some things that bugged me were revealed to be purposeful. All in all, not too terrible for a shot-on-video production...

    Battleground (2006) Brian Henson These next three are all from the Nightmares & Dreamscapes series. Battleground tells the tale of a hitman who had the unfortunate task of whacking a toy maker. Of course, toys come to life and kick ass. Nothing really new here, but it was kinda neat to see...

    The Number 23 (2007) Joel Schumacher I thought this one might be a good one to watch with the wife. She doesn't enjoy my viewing habits this month very much, so I try and get some stuff we can watch together. I'm not going to lie, I went in expecting crap. It's not exactly crap, but it's not...

    Planet Terror (2007) Robert Rodriguez Easily the better half of Grindhouse, this is a good old fashioned fun time. Sure, it's pretty over-the-top, but in a good way. Slither (2006) James Gunn Not much to say that hasn't been said. Fun little movie. Family (2006) John Landis...

    Let me begin my defense of this picture by stating I viewed it with my old pal Mikey (perhaps in an abnormal state of mind) while in the mood for fun. I loved it. I admit it really runs out of steam by the last third, but the setup and middle had me laughing my ass off. I have it coming for a...

    The Hills Have Eyes II (2007) Martin Weisz While not the popular opinion, I happen to like the Hills remake. While not exactly fresh, they did opt to go a slightly different route, and I enjoyed it for what it was. This, however, was pretty much crap on a stick. Instead of any kind of...

    Chaos (2005) David DeFalco Somewhere (I honestly can't remember where) I heard this movie referenced as extremely gory or brutal or something along those lines. I guess it is (one scene in particular involving a severed nipple, vomit, and pseudo necrophilia) brutal, but it eventually falls...

    Night of the Comet (1984) Thom Eberhardt This one had been languishing in the old queue for quite awhile. Perhaps subconsciously, I knew to leave it there. Well, there's a crazy comet running around the universe kicking the shit out of life where ever it goes. The last time Earth had a...

    Tokyo Zombie (2005) Sakichi Sato If you dig Shaun of the Dead, then I'd recommend this. Tokyo Zombie is a comedic zombie experiment that works most of the time. A few times, it felt as if the film lost track of exactly what it wanted to be, but nothing to take away from the fun. Big extra...

    While waiting for more movies to arrive, I thought I'd check out what the cable channels had to offer (if anything, this early in October) in the way of horror. Wonderfully enough, Starz has a Fear Fest section in the On Demand area. Wonderful enough until I saw what was actually in there...

    The Messengers (2007) Oxide Pang Chung & Danny Pang This film looked rather interesting, but I had been putting it off until October. There are a few creepy moments in the film, but nothing to make up for the crap story. I guess it was about 2 minutes into the film that I sensed where this...
