Almost Blue posted:You said "space" and "vampires" yet I do not see Lifeforce on that list. More importantly, he put Battle Beyond the Stars on it. BBtS isn't horror, it's a space remake of the Magnificent Seven (with Robert Vaughn reprising his role, no less) made by Corman to cash in on Star Wars.

Lifeforce drags in the middle for like 15-20 minutes, sometimes people get to that part and have a hard time staying engaged. It sure as hell picks back up though and some of the more insane stuff is in that last third so it's worth pushing through.

I found Lifeforce riveting the whole way through, but dif' strokes I guess.

Lifeforce was great, but it had a super oldschool vibe to it—which I loved but understand that it might turn others off. Felt more like a 50s monster b-movie than it did any of its contemporaries. That ending almost rivals the original cut ending of Little Shop of Horrors for gigantic, elevated 50s monster movie mayhem.

Speaking of space horror, how is Galaxy of Horrors? (not to be confused with Galaxy of Terror)

Interestingly the shorter cut of the movie we initially got for years fixes this up a bit. It was heavily edited for pacing reasons and not for content.

Basebf555 posted:You are mostly correct, although they don't use that term in the movie. But the behavior of the satancopter fits with what you describe. In the world of the film however, the knowledge of how to make one(they call them kratts) is common to most people in the village and multiple people have kratts that help them out with various tasks. Heh I just extrapolated from the folklore of my native land. Nice to see the Estonians have something similar.

I've noticed this thing with late 90s movies where I can't tell if the movie is going to be bad, or if it's just the trailer that insists on cutting everything to poo poo and setting it to techno. But we decided it would be lovably bad, if it's bad, and James Spader is in it. Is Creepozoids any good?

Also, I said Quartermass for years too until I was searching for it on some website or something and I figured out the reason I couldn't find it is because it's actually Quatermass.

I'll likely start watching right when the thread starts. I've got 31 movies to get through. I've got a full time job, a wife and a 3 year old, plus my wife's having a baby in about a week. But horror is more important than all of that.

Halloween Jack posted:The theme is, uh, "Mostly space and vampires" and yes I've already seen Planet of the Vampires and no I will not watch Queen of Blood because I can't take that hairdo seriously. Last Days On Mars is pretty much space vampires. You should also include Soderbergh's Solaris, The Quatermass Xperiment, Moontrap, The Green Slime, and Crawl Or Die.

Last year someone who shall remain nameless was on Discord every night like multiple times a night all throughout August and September talking about all the horror movies he was watching. What do you know, October rolled around he was like "oh, I'm just a little burned out on horror". We can learn from his mistakes.

I've intentionally avoided horror this whole past month (well, except Castle Rock) for this reason. By November I do get burnt out though, so I usually spend that month catching up on other stuff I've missed from the year.

I've been intentionally watching comedies, classics, action movies and short films for the past few weeks. The only horror I've really been watching is for my horror movie nights I've been doing all summer. Speaking of which, this Sunday I'm finally showing them In The Mouth of Madness, and I'm incredibly excited. I bought the new special edition blu-ray and everything.

Plankton aka Creatures from the Abyss aka Piranha 4 was great. I went in expecting nothing at all, but what I got was an ultra cheesy Italian version of the Thing on a boat except with a horny mutant fishman virus.
