Mayberry St is awesome. It was made for essentially nothing and shot on location in NYC. Seconding that it has great characters/acting and the rat zombies are quite well done. I haven't seen the other two films mentioned but I'll have to track then down

I did not like Stakeland at all (though Danielle Harris considerably livens it up because her energy is infectious) but I'd like to see Mulberry St.

Suspiria, like a lot of Italian movies, wasn't shot in sync sound.

Cube is a lot more fun when you imagine that all the characters have been shrunk down and are navigating the inner workings of rapper/actor Ice Cube.

Though my favorite anthology film is still Creepshow.

If any of you haven't seen You're Next, do so soon. It's out there now on most VOD platforms I think. It is a perfect combination of low budget horror meets Die Hard with a side of really funny black comedy.

They all want "scary" movies. I'm like "You want a scary film? Watch a documentary." Slasher movies and gore films and dead teenager flicks just aren't whats hip anymore, I dunno.  Hey speaking of slasher movies... I've been posting this in the other relevant subforums, why not here? So I'm a huge fan of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies (if you couldn't tell) and for years have been trying to get together the necessary things to make a screen accurate version of my favorite character's outfit, Mark from Part 5. If you've seen the films, he's the comic book guy, the punk with the skateboard who gets turned into paper and sliced up by Freddy? If you haven't seen the films... why are you in this thread? Go watch them, damnit! So apparently new high resolution pictures behind the scenes of the films have been released (were these in the bluray collection? Haven't gotten it yet) and have helped me get a great shot of his outfit! I already asked GIP about the patches and got those confirmed. I posted in YLLS about the clothing though and haven't gotten a response, just maybe because they don't know or care? I dunno. I'm trying to find the vest and shirt. I have a workable vest but I'd love to get one just like this, or at least closer to it, or even just know more about the vest in general like the style it's in so I can do better searching online. Also that shirt. I don't even know where to begin with that shirt, I have to imagine they picked it up off a rack at some point and didn't make it just for the film. Even the military patches are real. So I got to imagine that shirt exists SOMEWHERE and SOMEONE has to be selling one, but I don't even know who manufactured it let alone what it's supposed to represent.  Any information on those two fronts, the shirt and vest, would be MUCH appreciated. There is also the case of his shoes. I can't find any of the scenes in the film where you can get a good shot of his feet. However, I do have a drawing of the paper cutout of Mark from the film. The colors are weird here because the scene was "filmed" in black and white like a comic book, except Mark who was in color and for some reason the creators felt the need to make him bright and vibrant. I like the effect, but it does give the wrong impression on the shoe color here I think. Judging by photos I've seen, they're not orange, or at least not that color orange. To me they seem to be black and white, with white rubber, and they seem like they might be Converse. Are these even Converse shoes or are they knock offs and if they're real, where can I get a pair? This would be the simplest thing to just make myself but I was wondering if anyone had any information at all.  Thanks in advance guys! If any other thread on the forums could understand how much this would mean to me, I couldn't find it. I'm going to a superhero themed scifi convention in March, so... yeah, I'm going to try to do this as a cosplay and the Phantom Prowler too. That's going to be hard, though, but I want to pull it off. Maybe do Super Freddy or get someone else to do it.

Dissapointed Owl posted:I more meant, Cube and Ghost In The Shell being gore films. Um... Ghost in the Machine. It's a Talalay film, which... you know what you get with her. It's entertaining, but over the top and silly. Not really scary. What it does great is gore, and there is a ton of it. Basically a serial killer gets his soul transferred into pure energy through an MRI machine and now can affect electronics in insane ways. For example, at one point he overdrives a microwave someone is trying to use and cooks the guy. Another point he makes a hair dryer spit flame. It's pretty dumb, but fun and entertaining in that bad kind of way that only Rachel can truly pull off (like Freddy's Dead and Tank Girl) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2HPq-WDnFQ And maybe the first Cube really shouldn't be seen as a gore film, except maybe the beginning. I wouldn't even say Hypercube was even gory all that much. However, Cube Zero goes way overboard with it and as bad as that film was had some really bitchin' gore scenes. I always end up getting poo poo for liking Cube though because it's, as these people put it, "just a bunch of assholes getting killed for no reason other than the audience's amusement and I never understood your liking for gore movies."

I thought Cube struck a pretty nice balance between the assholes and the people you really wanted to see pull through it. Better than most slashers can say, where everyone is a jerk and the killer is clearly the hero.

Saw the new Paranormal Activity movie this morning. While I'd hesitate to call it a good movie, it's definitely more interesting than all the other movies in the series. It does something different with the concept and doesn't end up feeling like a dull rehash. If you liked any of the others but thought the series was getting stale and needed a reawakening, I'd recommend it.

Stranded is a fun, fast, gooey sci-fi/horror thing on Netflix worth checking out. Its greatest strength is its breakneck pacing.

I haven't seen a PA film since the first one but thought Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones was OK. There's some references to the main PA series, but I suspect the script was originally a standalone 'supernatural possession' story that the producers decided to link with an established franchise. There's some decent creepy scenes and overall it was fairly entertaining. Not revolutionary but not a disaster either.

Xandoom if you enjoy comics at all you owe it to yourself to find a bound edition of old E.C. (Entertaining Comics I believe) horror comics which Creepshow is an homage to. Tales From The Crypt, Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear. Really great stuff. The Ted Danson/Leslie Nielsen segment in particular is a classic EC comics type story of ghost revenge.

Shocker is a bad movie, and a bad psuedo-Nightmare on Elm Street, made all the worse because it was directed by the dude who directed the original Nightmare on Elm Street. I would call it the worse Wes Craven film, but I haven't seen The Hills Have Eyes Part II, which apparently includes a flashback scene from the perspective of a dog.

Craven has had so many terrible films, it's hard to pick out an absolute worst. I'd say that it's probably a toss-up between Deadly Friend and My Soul to Take.

I finally got to see the 2013 Carrie. I have to say I was impressed. Julianne Moore was incredible. I was really creeped out by her performance. I don't remember a lot of the original but I think this was just better in some way and lacking in others. I'd recommend it for people to check out for a good watch as long as you don't expect the original movie or the book.

I don't get the love You're Next gets. I thought it was a routine by the books home invasion movie ruined by awful acting, awful camera work and stupid humour. I wished it had been played more straight as the comedy wasn't funny and ruined the tone. The best thing about it is easily Erin, a pretty kick rear end heroine and the only person in the entire movie who could act. People keep saying it's very violent but I can't remember any of the violent moments. The camera jerking around was very distracting and made the movie look really cheap. It wasn't throughout the entire film but when it happened it was noticeable. I don't understand how this is the one critics praised. I've seen a lot of these kinds of movies and the acting in You're Next is worse then you normally find. I don't hate it, I just find it very average, something that probably could have been better.
