Dark Waters (1993) English language, Russian filmed, euro-style satanic oddity. A young woman travels to a remote island where a group of nuns have been guarding an evil amulet for centuries. It seems her recently deceased father had been funding them for years, and she’d like to know why. A bit slow paced, but some outrageous make up FX at the end!

I've started this three times on Shudder. I like what I've seen so far but I always get distracted for some reason. Very Lovecraftian.

It's kind of a drag, I had it recommended to me and it does check all the boxes of what I like, except excitement. It does have a crazy ending if you can make it that far.

Not a movie but I watched an episode of the new Creepshow the other day. Not a fan. The cheapness, I'm used to that shit but the rushed writing and direction I cannot abide.

Seed of Chucky (2004) Don Mancini, screenwriter of Child’s Play, gets the director’s chair in this 5th entry of the franchise. It’s a delightful gory comedy, in which Jennifer Tilly, the voice of Chucky’s bride Tiffany, plays herself, trying to seduce rapper/director Redman into giving her a movie part. Meanwhile Tiff, Chucky and their androgynous offspring, Glen/Glenda, who looks just like David Bowie, continue their murderous ways while seeking new bodies to inhabit. John Water plays a nosey tabloid reporter who meets a grisly death. I’ve seen this a few times now, its 87 minute runtime seems to fly past in a blink of an eye. I love this movie, my favorite of the franchise.

i finally watched this movie for the first time and it may be the greatest movie ever made

I've seen all 3, 2-story episodes. The werewolf one is great, dollhouse and growning finger were good. The most recent (3rd ep) was a bit meh

House of 1000 Corpses (2003) Rob Zombie’s directorial debut is like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre fucked a music video. Horror vets Sid Haig, Bill Mosley, Karen Black and Rob’s wife Sherri Moon play a family who terrorize two young couples (Chris Hardwick, Rainn Wilson, and their incredibly dull girlfriends). I hadn’t seen this in so long, that I didn’t know who Chris Hardwick was the last time I did! Tom Towles of Henry fame plays a sheriff. Haig steals the show as Captain Spaulding, the foul-mouthed clown. Nice debut for the rock star.

The Devil’s Rejects (2005) Sid Haig, Bill Mosely and Sherri Moon return as the killer Firefly family in Rob Zombie’s sequel to House of 1000 Corpses. Karen Black is gone as the mother, replaced by Leslie Easterbrook of the Police Academy movies. The cast is a who’s who of 70s – 90s actors. Geoffrey Holder (every Clint Eastwood movie) , Pricilla Barnes (Three’s Company) and Deborah Van Valkenberg (The Warriors) are a country band terrorized by the Fireflys. Ken Foree (Dan of the Dead) is a pimp, and Micheal Berryman, Danny Trejo, pro wrestler Diamond Dallas Page, PJ Soles, Mary Woronov and porn star Ginger Lynn all show up for the fun. William Forsythe is the sheriff with a bible in his pocket and revenge in his heart who hunts the hunters looking for some payback. This is a lot more gritty than the first one, no campiness to take the edge off the sadism.

Amok Train aka Beyond the Door III (1989) Unrelated sequel. A group of American college students take a school sponsored trip to Yugoslavia. One of the girls, a virgin, has a satanic birthmark (that we see along with her big tits in the shower) and the creepy town residents want to sacrifice her. She and her classmates jump a train which becomes possessed and keeps going until the kids and passengers all meet violent deaths. At least that's what I think happened, it was very confusing. All that mattered was the deaths were all kick-ass and there was bunch of them. Enjoyable garbage.

Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire (2019) This time the Abbadon Hotel which had previously caused the disappearance of a haunted maze, and a team of investigative reporters is home of an interactive stage show. More of the old “there was something there and now there’s nothing there!” That’s about all I’ve got for this one.

Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) Werner Herzog’s fantastic adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, with Klaus Kinski in the vampire makeup made famous in the 1922 version of Nosferatu. The hideous Count leaves Transylvania for the city, and brings death, plague and thousands of rats with him. Isabelle Adjani (Possession) plays Lucy, although the Lucy and Mina roles are reversed in this version. The cinematography is outstanding, the orchestral score is mesmerizing, the whole movie is like a work of art in motion. Very little blood, and much of the violence is off camera, but there are not a lot of horror movies like this one.

Watched this a couple of weeks ago. I can't recall much about it at all. The first movie is pretty decent. The second was meh. And while I can't remember exactly what happened in that last one, I do remember it being pretty bad. The ending, I actually do remember. It was garbage.

Watched that a few years ago. I quite liked it.

I saw the trilogy for the first time this #SPOOKtober (or, REMEBERtober if you prefer)... loved the first one, thought the second one was okay but no great shakes, and thought the third was somewhere in between. As a trilogy, the three films fit together pretty well, tho, which is impressive for a low-budget found footage series, I think.

Crimson Peak (2014) Guillermo del Toro’s big budget haunted house epic is visually stunning, but a bit mediocre in plot. British aristocrat brother and sister (The Avengers Loki and Jessica Chastain) lure Edith, an American heiress overseas to their decaying mansion, a place that bore witness to numerous deaths over the years. Edith is very susceptible to apparitions, so very soon after her arrival she has visions of multiple ghosts warning her of danger. Sons of Anarchy’s Charlie Hunnam is a friend of Edith, but he doesn’t do all that much. What I did like is that the mansion was built over a clay mine, so red, which looks like blood, seeps up through the snow, comes through the plumbing and the walls, etc. The movie isn’t short on stabbings, either.

Just saw this tonight - LOVED it.

I'm trying to remember it. 5 years ago!
