What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
I watched The Legend of Hell House yesterday. Fuckin' ruled beyond all hope and reason. The music was uncanny in its power of amazement.
About a month ago I finally watched The Descent while stoned. HOLY FUCK. I've literally been nearly killed in Death Valley a few times, but that was the most intense experience of my adult life.
Mentioned elsewhere was ALUCARDA but that needs to be mentioned, repeatedly, in every thread, on every forum.
FUCK YES.
Also I watched The Shining for occasion number 23o58723. On fucking Blu Ray and it was SO gOD DAMN COOL seeing it in proper widescreen for once. Apparently that is how it actually was filmed, the fullscreen lie we've all been told over the years was as a complete fraud. Still in my Top 5 Horror Movie list. So good.

Good job on The Descent
I saw Evil Dead the other day and liked it a lot. I was the ONLY person in the theater. That ruled.

Watched Awakening a while back on Netflix. If you liked The Orphanage, you may like this one.

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
The Last Exorcism was fuckin' cool. Very well done, would recommend. I don't know who the main dude is but it was like Nathan Fillion's older brother.
I also watched The Satanic Rites of Dracula last week. Christopher Lee as Dracula along with Peter Cushing as Van Helsing, and it's a Hammer film. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?!
Well.
The movie kind of sucked from the beginning but that's okay, I like sucky '70s horror films because they are fun. But this was made into a detective story set in at-the-time modern day London. There were 3 titties (yes, just 3) and some blood, but otherwise the groovy bad cop hi-hat music was really overbearing. Anyhow, my main problem (spoiler alert!) is that Dracula had set up 4 famous people in the world to be powerful/wealthy/whatever, and then at the last minute, June 23rd, he will give each of his 4 chosen high profile minions some form of PLAGUE in order to take over the world. And it almost worked. That alone made the movie worth watching, especially because at the end he gave dude 1 of 4 said sickness, which really fucked his shit up, so we're now mere moments away from worldwide vampire servitude, as long as the CDC doesn't figure out a plan. So Dracula's domination would be a success! But oh no, it was not to be.
Van Helsing says "hey I'm gonna run away, Dracula" to which Dracula gives chase. Then suddenly, Van Helsing comes up with a glorious scheme: "I'll walk 10 steps to the right and hide in a bush." Several seconds later: "hey Dracula, over here!" "huh? BLEH!! oh no, I just got caught in this bush and now I'm gonna die!"
That is literally what happened. Dracula was foiled by... A SHRUBBERY! On his own property no less. You'd think that if said plantlife was so dangerous he would have paid his landscaper to take it out long ago, but apparently not.

Did you read my Wreck-it Ralph review? I think it was just one line: THE END OF DAYS IS NIGH!!!

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
The Tall Man was very fookin' cool. The less you know the better, I saw it knowing nothing. Same dude that did Martyrs. Not nearly as good, but let's get serious, Martyrs is probably the 7th greatest film ever made.

The one with Jessica Biel, right? I've seen it on Netflix but have yet to check it out. Will do! I watched Wake Wood yesterday. Hmmm...it was kind of okay. Rips off Pet Sematary a bit with the whole thing of bringing loved ones back from the dead with dire consequences, but it's all done in a very different way. Most things in the movie (clothes, cars, building trims, etc) are some shade of teal, which is my favorite color. There's no explanation for it, though, so that was kind of aggravating for me.
I just watched the Tall Man in between my tutoring and instructoring duties. Twas okay...it had that unexpected twist, but then it got pretty predictable for me. I think I liked Wake Wood and Awakening better. The Tall Man should've had THE TALL MAN in it.

That is Reason #1 why I put it in my queue, haha. Agreed either way. Every movie needs him.The Tall Man should've had THE TALL MAN in it.
I watched a REALLY crappy vampire movie just because Angus Scrimm was in it for 5 minutes. Worth it!

I seriously haven't seen a good scary flick since the french put out a few years ago, have I missed anything?

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
Martyrs and Let the Right One In are the best modern horror I've seen. There are others, but that's what I can think of that are absolute must see films. Ichi the Killer as well, if that counts. Dagon fucking rules. I loved The Descent and Jeepers Creepers. Antichrist is fucking amazing, although that's another borderline horror film.
I watched The Lair of the White Worm last night. One of my absolute favoUrite movies ever. So funny and creepy at the same time. That along with Prince of Darkness pretty much rule the rest of my DVD collection with an eerie, slow moving and craggly old woman fist.

I apparently need to revisit Martyrs. I thought it was good, but nothing spectacular. I had heard so much going into it that I expected the most disturbing flick ever...and it wasn't.

I had a hard-on for Martyrs the first time I watched it but watched it a few more times after that and not that impressed. Love Let the Right One In but Ichii wasn't for me, seen all those other things..guess there just hasn't been much else ou there
