I caught up with "The Collector". Yet another unpleasant torture-style horror flick with a fairly unbelievable premise. Too much slow motion used as well, for some reason this annoys me. Perhaps it's becoming too much of a cliche?

It's been on R1 for a while now, and it's one of the best independent horror films I've seen in years. Highly recommended for those yet to see it.

Got it today and is now lying in my 'to watch' pile

Ste7en · 03-03-2010, 18:28

I'll be watching Sorority Row tonight.

Dunno if I can be arsed

I really hope you like it after the glowing mini-review I gave it. I really thought it was bloody brilliant.

Very poor - watched this one at the cinema (thanks to cineworld pass it didnt cost anything). A slasher movie set in a girls sorority house should have loads of naked chicks and plenty of gore this has almost none

Last night I watched Dying Breed, another Aussie backwoods/inbreed gore film in the wake of Wolf Creek and similar in quality to Storm Warning. Considering there are a gazillion films like this around now, it was watchable enough with above average characterisation and some very strong gore and violence in the last third.

Ste7en · 05-03-2010, 11:31

Sounds worth checking out, and only 6.95 at Amazon

captaineyecatch · 06-03-2010, 16:30

Watched Rec2 - superb film just as good as the first film. Thankfully they kept the cause of the virus and didnt go with the bloody stupid Rabies crap that was in the USA remake of the first movie. The movie does seem like a spiritual successor to Demons 1+2 (a series crying out for a remake/update).

After all these years got round to seeing Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, not really worth all that waiting to be honest haha not a patch on part 1.

Anyone got any good links info on how they buggered the film so badly? I remember reading over the years some real awful stories of Cannon gutting the entire film, it felt like it thats for sure. Not exactly bad, but not good either.

MrSpeed · 09-03-2010, 14:40

I'm currently halfway through 'The Machine Girl'. Not too impressed so far but enjoying the 'Monty Python' blood spurts

Going to watch the end of it a bit later.

LordoftheDance · 09-03-2010, 16:39

It's rubbish. Gory, but rubbish.

its crap aint it, did'nt Cannon cut loads of the budget or something?? I think they talk about it on the making of docu and in the commentarys (assuming you have the R1)

The films totaly different to the first, you would'nt even think they were made by the same director.

Have to agree with you.

The fight with the red ninjas was

But then that got even more bonkers when American football ninjas appeared

And then to top it all off...bra-drill

R-T-C · 09-03-2010, 21:01

Anyone up for some old school horror?

I've finally gotten around to updating my website with a biography of the great American horror icon Vincent Price. I have also got 16 reviews of the classic AIP Gothic horrors and some of his lesser known work.

LordoftheDance · 09-03-2010, 21:49

Just finished watching Doghouse. I chuckled a few times, but very disappointing overall.

3/10.

Loved both [REC] and the remake Quarantine so i had pretty low expectations for [REC]2, boy was I wrong, as you say a healthy dose of the Demons movies, bloody as hell with loads of heads blown off moments and a fine, fine ending, loved it

Ooh, you gotta love Vinny

Thanks for the link I'll check it out properly tomorrow (BTW, the Edgar Allan Poe & the Pit & the Pendulum links are 404ing).

Saw Mum&Dad on Monday and enjoyed, lovely bleak setting and enough humour to offset the nastiness and gore going on. Very impressive for a low budget british flick.

Anyone else think the mum/dad relationship was very similar to that in "The People Under the Stairs" (another film I love)? The mums even looked very similar!

Think it will be Rec2 next week, sounds very promising.

Trailers.. Warning Graphic gore!

Not sure if the HK?? dvd was cut as a couple of scenes did seem edited?

Yes, I think it needed at least 10 mins trimmed - the ending really dragged. Neither the acting nor the direction were brilliant but it was still much better than I was expecting from a Thai gore fest

MrSpeed · 13-03-2010, 11:48

Anyone seen/know much about 'Cut'? A low budgeter that is filmed entirely in one take!
