Plus, you always get a car flip in it. Surely they've taken the footage from the same movie on each crash, but still. (Language, gore, bad puns) Fun fact: The father in the car driving in the clip is former Troma associate James Gunn, who wrote the Dawn of the Dead remake and of course wrote/directed the underrated 2006 classic Slither.

And if I'm not mistaken was once married to The Office star, Jenna Fischer.

DAMN HIIIIIMMMMMMMMM!!!! ;D I love Tromeo And Juliet, but there's a special place in my heart for Terror Firmer. It's sooooooo f'd up and over the top. But Lemmy as the Narrator is kingly.

I must see this movie. As an aside, there's an old Hammer anthology called The House That Dripped Blood which is quite good. The Christopher Lee segment in particular is excellent.

From the apathy file, a new Ju-On review is posted, linked in my sig. I take some mild pride in the fact that I clued you in on how to get those first few films. ;D

There you go again, TR, killing the thread. No, just kidding. Sometimes not a lot of horror related things are going on, so we gut lulls. For me, I've been busy with WoW and I left my job recently and can't really afford to buy the excellent blu-rays/dvds schedule for release (pirahna, galaxy of terror, Slumber Party Massacre Trilogy). Still I come to resurrect the thread with something (I hope) hasn't been posted: Salon's 10 must see vampire films. I hate to say I've only seen three (Near Dark, Let the Right One In, and Nosferatu the Vampyr). www.salon.com/entertainment/movies/film_salon/2010/07/02/vampire_movies_twilight_fans_should_see/slideshow.html

Weirdly enough, I'd never even considered it a vampire film before. We've talked the movie over quite a bit in the past (well, me and Rorschach have, anyway), and suffice to say that movie is an absolute must-see. I'd also have to say that if there was an official tally for posts that ground this thread to a screeching halt...my name would be at the top of the list.

OK, so last week I re-watched Pet Sematary for the first time in a few years, and it reminded me of a discussion we had in some past horror thread about the upcoming remake. Some were for it, some were against it...paint me in on the camp as against it now (pulling a flip-flop here). My reason, however, is radically different to what you're expecting; instead of a remake, I think a true, bona-fide SEQUEL (and we're not discussing the 1992 film Pet Sematary Two) would be eleven kinds of awesome. Hear me out here. I've gone through a sibling death. It sucks horribly. Meanwhile, Ellie Creed not only suffers that, but the death of BOTH of her parents within a VERY short time span. I mean...what kind of a f*** you from the Universe is that? The movie never gives us any sort of closure regarding Ellie, who stays behind in Chicago while her mother heads back to Ludlow to get butchered. For some reason, that aspect - that this family has a lone survivor, ten years old, all of a sudden without anyone she's ever known - really stuck out to me for the first time. Nonetheless, I think a sequel focused on Ellie Creed 20+ years after those incidents as a kid would be very interesting, and very emotional. Say she's going back to Ludlow after all these years (and still suffering from horrific nightmares) to solve the mystery of her family's death once and for all, and in the process finds the burial ground, leading to disastrous results. Insert a few nice jump scares in between (nightmare scenes, maybe a couple "guinea pig" animals that Ellie uses as experiments, etc.) before the grand finale of one of the characters taking the final plunge and resurrecting a recently deceased person and you've got one hell of a movie, IMO. The film adaption of Pet Sematary has been in my all-time top 10 since I saw it for the first time 5 years ago, so I know I personally have been VERY touchy about the idea of a remake (or in this case, a "readaption", if you will). I remember discussing it with all of you a few threads back, and I think the general consensus was that the story stood nothing to gain from an updated film adaption, from just about every angle - the 80s technology still holds up remarkably well, and doesn't feel too dated. And replacing Fred Gwynne as Jud? Let's not even go there. And the less said about Pet Sematary Two, the better, which had to be one of the sharpest drops in quality I've seen over the course of just one sequel. The sooner that turd is forgotten, the better. However... An actual, direct sequel to the original is something I hadn't really considered, and I suppose it could work if put into the right hands. Dating back to my very first viewing, I always wondered, as a viewer immersed in the story, about Ellie's fate. The last you really hear about her is when she has a nightmare about her mother, and her grandfather calls Louis in a bid to calm her down. After that, Louis hears the recently resurrected Gage in the house and hangs up the phone. After that...nothing. It's left up to the viewer to decide her fate, and my conclusion was pretty much the same as yours - years of nightmares, medication, and therapy. Perhaps she ended up blocking it out entirely to deal with it; I've done enough research on the subject (for my own writings) to find that it's fairly common with traumatic childhood events. So if there were to be a sequel, there'd have to be something drawing her back there, perhaps a recurring nightmare that she hasn't had in years. I don't know, but the old "to solve the mystery once and for all" screams "sequel cop out", so I'd probably go for something a little deeper than that, personally. My only real fear is that it WOULD end up falling into the wrong hands, and we'd just end up with Pet Sematary Three, if you catch my drift. But you're right, it probably would be better than the new adaption we'll end up getting. A Pet Semetary remake? Nooooo. There is no way they can recapture the creepy awesomeness that was the Zelda scene. That is one of the only horror movie scenes I cannot watch. Has anyone heard about the Cannibal Holocaust remake? www.imdb.com/title/tt0907629/I'm starting to wonder if we will ever see it.

No way are they going to get away with the stuff they did in either movie. No way are they going to do a movie about a murderous 6-year old zombie.
