Do you have a link to the purchase site? I think you should pair it down to ones that have really awesome special features.

Hollismason posted:The majority of those films are on Shudder and in pretty high definition. I don't think they're the Arrow releases but they're definitely in HD a majority of them are. You should look at the definition of the films on Shudder and see if they match up with what definition you want. Oh I know, I have shudder and will probably some of these while I wait for them to arrive. But I'm still into physical media because I hate my wallet. I'm not really sure why I feel compelled to buy BluRays, but I do it every time one of the major distributors do a sale (Arrow, Criterion, Scream Factory, etc.). I love the books, supplements (though I don't watch them nearly as much as I should), and just owning a copy of it that I can lend to people. e: Hollismason posted:Do you have a link to the purchase site?

Getting ready to leave my office and didn't want to make the cart again when I got home. I went over budget

Just think of it as a early family Christmas Present. Oh Shudder added The Black Cat ( Lucio Fulci ) , Baba Yaga , and Autopsy. What's interesting to me about this release is that each movie is a Italian film from the 1970s. Shudder continues to impress.

Yeah and now that they've got most of the playback issues fixed I am enjoying it more. Hopefully they stick around cause it's got the best content for price of most streaming services for horror.

I really wish the shudder amazon addon had all the stuff at the same time as the site. Prime is just such an easier to use service since I can open it on my ps4.

I swear I read something in this thread that stuff came to the website first and then a loooong time later to amazon. I could be wrong though!

I remember it being an issue, but since I've gotten the service I haven't experienced it first hand. Actually, it was the reason I contacted their customer service before subscribing because I didn't want to get burned.

It Follows of the Bride. Wait, are we still doing these? Ended up buying a couple of Region B blu rays from Arrow, I guess if anything is going to get me to buy a region free blu ray, it's going to be the Visitor and Django Prepare a Coffin.

Okay so I'm halfway through 'Bone Tomahawk' (just got to the part where Patrick Wilson heads out ahead of the group after the horses get stolen), does this movie get any better? I like Kurt Russell a lot but this movie is boring me to tears.

I've shown Horror Express to a few friends and they start off a bit bored and then the film goes completely nuts and they usually just stare in amazement and confusion. That movie has such balls to just go all in on its' very odd main concept and it rules so hard.

I've always loved it. The way the monster works in it is so nuts and amazing for the time. The way the actual creature is inside the eyes of whatever it takes over and it's just been her absorbing anything it can run into? I mean that they go 100% all in and are like yeah so it absorbs memories on site and touch therefore you can literally "view" its memories in the fluid like the fluid is a liquid film strip or bubble memory or something is so crazy. Also I love the crazy priest, he just completely sells it. Then just when it can't get more awesome Telly Savalas swaggers in.

What are some other great "train horror" flicks? There's Night Train Murders and Night Train to Terror, I guess Midnight Meat Train counts though that's technically subway horror.

Night Train To Terror has a amazing intro and then becomes easily the worst horror film ever. Its not even bad in a good way it's just bad. Midnight Meat Train is very good.

Wow, I just meant that it had the ability to think around obstacles (turning into a kid to get through the crack in the boat shack door, turning into the dude's mom to trick him into opening up, the whole end sequence in the pool) and it would be entertaining to watch people who thought they were cleverly outsmarting it get their comeuppance from an unexpected angle, once or twice.

I liked Train to Busan quite a bit.K. Waste posted:What are some other great "train horror" flicks? There's Night Train Murders and Night Train to Terror, I guess Midnight Meat Train counts though that's technically subway horror. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY62yl8zEYY Night Train to Terror NEEDS to be seen. I agree with Hollismason it's not even so bad it's good it's just, like, unbelievable. Three half-baked unreleased films edited into an anthology framed by God and Satan discussing where the souls of the people who die in the movies should go while riding on a train that according to the conductor "some refer to as the Heavenly Express, others...SATAN'S CANNONBALL!" while this ridiculous band plays a song between each segment and are also the train's only other passengers. Oh man these movies though. IIRC only 2/3 were being directed by the person that ended up directing Night Train to Terror, while the other is just some lovely 70s movie that may have even been released briefly. So the first movie is about how this pair of evil doctors wants to perform experiments on people and then sell their organs. So they kidnap and brainwash some random guy and program him to seduce women but, instead of bringing them back to his place he roofies their beverage and brings them back to the doctors' office/mansion where Richard Moll sexually assaults them before cutting them to pieces. That's it. There is a single moment, a sort of quiet panning shot around a bloody room where we know parts are stored, it's almost good, but don't worry, just when it almost is creepy we pan to like the most obviously fake mannequin limbs ever. Richard Moll is just this total berserker that has no dialog and just runs around the whole compound in a rage raping or killing anyone he runs across. Great experiment guys. IIRC there's two different bootleg cuts of the whole movie that circulate around, one much rarer than the other. The second movie must have been unwatchably bad in its full form, oh my God. So some woman is like a porn actress but then not, her and her total goober boyfriend join a group of folks where they get a thrill out of paying a guy to devise deadly games of chicken for them to play where one of the group will almost definitely die. Double checking it did actually get released! It had quite a few titles in life, including The Gretta Connors Case, The Dark Side to Love, Death Wish Club, and Carnival of Fools. It also, somehow, was released in 1984 but for real when you see this segment it was clearly sitting on the shelf since the 70s. The third one is the best it involves the anti-christ as a long lived Nazi dude with a Robert Z'Dar caliber chin named Lu Sifer* and the film attempts to be The Omen and The Sentinel and Poltergeist simultaneously but surprisingly it ends up being not quite as good as any of those three movies! It also has some of the worst stop motion animation in any professionally released film. The whole thing is like a weird b-side/extended trailer to a film the same two directors released called Cataclym in 1980. Anyway I believe the entire Night Train to Terror film is available on YouTube but there should be a very cheap blu-ray out too so if you love poo poo buy all means buy that. Just editing this to be clear, this is absolute must watch movie it is so loving bad. If you want to see a bad horror movie watch Night Train to Terror. A movie with a similar premise and a few actors playing the same characters, but some different ones in roles that are in both films as well!!! I still have to watch Midnight Meat Train. *This film predates the 1987 thriller Angel Heart wherein Robert De Niro players a character named Louis Cyphre.

Pffft, Night Train to Terror is premium trash cinema - it's just so blasted convoluted that it's difficult to find anything to mock. It's easily one of the best anthology movies of all time.

Since we discuss TV shows. I can recommend Crazyhead as a fun 6 episode Horror Comedy. I just watched the pilot and it's pretty drat funny. Not sure about the rest of the episodes since I am just now watching them though. Starts off loving great though. Whole thing is on Netflix.

Horror Express is so similar to The Thing in every respect I am suspicious of anyone who likes one and not the other. It's not even that Horror Express is goofier - The Thing has similarly ridiculous "science" scenes, some similarly campy acting and action scenes. It's like, slightly darker and better known. I think The Thing is better, but I find it difficult to imagine a coherent argument that one is an all time classic and the other isn't good.

[/quote] A lot of love Carpenter's The Thing gets is based off how amazing the fx work is. Great cast too, but Bottin's work is maybe the greatest ever. On top of that, Carpenter's use of said fx and general direction of it all is top tier. Throw in a great Morricone score and while Horror Express rules, it can't do some of the things visually and audio wise The Thing pulls off. That being said, I just realized you weren't necessarily comparing the 2 directly, just that Horror Express deserves some love and you are right.

I like Kurt Russell a lot but this movie is boring me to tears. I think that about 40% of the dialogue could be removed from Bone Tomahawk and that would turn it from a mediocre film into a fantastic one. The dialogue that I hate in that movie ruins the movie for me and I can't stand it. It's got a lot of strengths though.

So The Burrowers was a massive disappointment and isn't even in the same league as Bone Tomahawk, it just feels like a poor man's Bone Tomahawk with dull characters and terrible monster designs. Entirely forgettable film.
