helen s i agree with you on halloween 2(2009),it was a bit of a mess ,but if that warrants a 4/10 i reckon black water warrants a 7/10,wasn't quite as good as the other croc flick rogue but overall i didn't dislike it and actually thought it was pretty good . helen did you really dislike the collector that much,must admit to having the blu ray and actually think it's a pretty cool flick!
p.s - helen don't forget savage streets is on tonight on the horror channel.
tobe hoopers invaders from mars remake is a fun movie,i have it on a mgm double sided disc with another fun 80s sci/fi/horror strange invaders.
i also agree an american werewolf in london all the way,howling is great, but not as good as john landis's classic werewolf hit!

I'm afraid so about The Collector, it made me want to throw things lol. I preferred another film I watched by the Black Water director recently, The Reef. That had some really tense moments. I'll have to see Rogue
I'm recording Savage Streets, will watch tomorrow. But I have just watched the film before it you recommended, Tamara. I agree it was a fun little flick Posts: 4057 | From: uk | Registered: May 2007 | Site Updates: 0

I guess I'm one of the few Halloween 2 fans on here! It wasn't awesome or anything, but it was decent.
As for Basketcase, ugh!! I hated that stupid movie!!! I didn't even bother with the sequels.
I didn't like the Collector either. I love horror movies, but torture just for the sake of torture isn't for me.

Late chiming bak in. Thanks for the input Valley...I'll check out the Buffy episodes...I believe I have em all. And....I just love when you guys start talking about an old movie...and then I magically find it in a store where it has no business being....that being said, just scooped the Waxwork double feature at Zellers for $6! Also this past week, picked up The Fly 1 + 2, Psycho 2, Cujo, Exorcist 2 (I'm told, a waste of money, but for $5..couldn't resist), Candyman, and Wrong Turn.
A reminder about the recent release of Trick 'r Treat....I freakin loved this movie....one of the best modern Halloween flicks I've seen!

Totally enjoying reading what everyone is watching as well as her/his thoughts about the films!!
i actually revisted "Creepshow" and "Creepshow 2" for the first time in years today. Penned by Stephen King with help from George A. Romero these were both staples on HBO during the 80's. It was fun to watch them today and see so many familiar faces .. Leslie Nielsen, Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, Ted Danson, Ed Harris, EG Marshall, George Kennedy, Tom Savini, and Lois Chiles.
Here's a reminder of what you get from each film:
Creepshow:
Father's Day
The first story concerns the Grantham family, whose matriarch Great Aunt Bedelia killed her demanding father Nathan in a rage seven years ago on Father's Day. The Granthams are rather happy about the death of the miserly Nathan because it allowed them to inherit paet of his fortune, but this year things go differently; Nathan rises from his grave as a vengeful zombie and begins killing off his relatives one by one in a quest for his "cake".
The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill
The second story revolves around Jordy Verrill, a backwoods bumpkin who, after being infected by the juice inside a meteorite that crashes in his yard, gets a little more growth out of his plants than he can handle.
Something To Tide You Over
Richard Vickers, a rich and jealous husband, decides to get revenge on his cheating wife Becky and her lover Harry in a creatively cruel manner, but learns too late that the tide has a way of bringing things back.
The Crate
A professor sees the release of a dangerous creature from a crate delivered to his college as a surefire way to rid himself of his monster of a wife.
They're Creeping Up On You
Upson Pratt, a mean old business tycoon with a fear of insects, gets bugged by roaches after he causes the suicide of an employee.
Creepshow 2:
Old Chief Wood'nhead
Ray and Martha Spruce own a hardware store in Dead River, a town that now lives up to its name. While it used to be a prosperous community, many of its citizens have now moved on. Due to the lack of customers, Ray spends his afternoons talking to Old Chief Wood'nhead, the wooden Indian that stands in front of the store. When the Spruces are robbed and murdered one night, the only witness is Old Chief Wood'nhead. He comes to life in order to seek vengeance for his slain friends.
The Raft
Four college students decide to spend the day relaxing and swimming at a secluded lake. While swimming out to a permanent raft in the middle of the water, Randy notices a rather odd looking oil slick. After Rachel gets to curious about the unusual slick, the remaining three try to figure out a way to escape the raft and make it back to shore.
The Hitchhiker
After spending the evening at a male escort's apartment, Annie Lansing realizes she has about twenty minutes to beat her husband home from work. While racing home, she accidently strikes a hitchhiker with her car. Feeling guilty about the accident (but not guilty enough to stay for the police), she leaves the man to die in the road. Annie soon discovers that her problems are far from over, as the hitchhiker is not finished with her yet.
The Wrap-around Story
Billy is a young boy who is fascinated with horror comic books. Not only does he think they're fun to read, but they allow him to order such exotic merchandise as Venus Fly Traps! After picking up one of his packages from the post office, Billy is accosted by some local bullies who will regret that move soon enough.
To be honest, while both movies were fun to watch again.. there is one segment that I consider by far the best:
The Raft:
"The Raft" which is the second segment of "Creepshow 2" is not only the best of all the tales in the Creepshow movies in my opinion, it’s one of the best short horror films of all time. A foursome of college students take a road-trip out to a private lake for some funny, only to get stranded on an anchored wooden raft by a floating black glob of evil goo. It’s a tense, scary, and highly entertaining ..
and the ending is so awesome! Posts: 7845 | From: Smiling and glancing in awe in the back of a limo | Registered: Mar 2003 | Site Updates: 22

I also watched "An American Werewolf in Paris" last night.
Terrible movie that doesn't compare to the original in any way.

i've watched hide and go shriek from 1988 about a group of teens who spend a night partying in one of there parents furniture store,not realising there being stalked by a cross dressing pyschopath.
nothing amazing but still quite good fun and far from being the worse of its type!
also watched sorority house massacre from 1986 which despite some of the usual shortcomings(microphone boom makes several guest appearances and like hide and go shriek some of the acting leaves a lot to be desired) turns out to be a decent enough low budget slasher!
http://youtu.be/W31b8w8Zq4M- sorority house massacre trailer ,see if you can spot the footage used from the slumber party massacre
again like hide and go shriek nothing amazing but still pretty watchable and at the end of the day i have seen so much worse!
valley i can remember creepshow 2 got quite a bad rap from some critics on release but when i got round to watching it i was surprised by how much i liked it!
the raft is great but i also really liked the hitchhicker
"thanks for the ride lady,thanks for the ride"

FINALLY watched "The Midnight Hour" today! Sorta reminded me of "Hocus Pocus" mixed with the Halloween episode of "My So-Called Life." Loved the usage of "How Soon is Now" during the party scenes and I thought the makeup and costumes were all pretty awesome. The ending was pretty cute too with the love story I think this will definitely be a movie I watch every fall!

I decided to watch "Insidious" as well last night. One of my recent blind buys.
I'm really glad I picked it up -- I thought it was extremely well made, not to mention very creepy.
Well, the first 3/4 of it anyway...
It could be described as Poltergeist meets The Exorcist, and, whilst it isn't as good as either of those, it's a great addition to my Blu-ray library.

Watched The Wind (1987) aka Edge of Terror yesterday.
A decent horror thriller set on a small Greek island. The movie was directed by Nico Mastorakis. Starring Meg Foster, Wings Hauser, David McCallum, Robert Morley and Steve Railsback.
Some eerie scenes and Hauser gives a wicked performance as Phil the wacko. Decent soundtrack once again from Mastorakis regulars Stanley Myers and Hans Zimmer.
Marybeth escapes the clutches of the bayou-butcher Victor Crowley and returns to the swamp with an army of hunters and gunmen, determined to end Crowley's reign of horror once and for all. -- IMDb
Not as good as the 1st.
Scream 4 came in the post today, so I'll be watching that tonight.

Good addition to the "Scream" series. I need to see the first 2 again to determine how it compares. I already know it is a lot better than the 3rd one.
I ended up buying the French release, as it came with a load of features. Unlike the UK version, which only had the trailer.
