Someone get the notepad, I'm writing a slasher flick starring Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer called "STOP! Collaborate and MURDER!" This Summer they'll put you on ice Check out the HOOK while my DJ revolves it! *Ice slashes his victim's neck with a hook* You know, that concept could be the best "pure cheese" cinema yet! Even better than the last Piranha movie, even! ;D

Hey Just curious what is everyone's opinion on these recent remakes? Piranha Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) Let Me In In my opinion: Piranha: Fun enough, but basically relied WAY too heavily on the gratuitous nudity for my liking, and I *like* bare boobs. NOES 2k10: TERRIBLE. Commits just about every conceivable sin a remake can commit and then some. Also made me wish that Rooney Mara's "Nancy" would have been the first victim, and the blonde girl would have lived instead. This was just horrible beyond words. Let Me In: On par with, if not *quite* as good as the original. Worth checking out, and hey, on it's own it IS a great movie, especially if you haven't seen the original, and don't know what's coming. *We now return you to the IceHammer slash-a-thon* ;D ;D

Hey Just curious what is everyone's opinion on these recent remakes? Piranha Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) Let Me In Seen only two of the three so hear is my opinion. Piranha is extremely fun and brings you back to the days of insane crap happening NOES remake is a despicable film that you can tell the filmmakers and cast wanted nothing to do with this film than collect their paychecks.

Haven't seen the Piranha remake.
Let Me In was a fine film. Not as good as expected, but a decent showing that really should've left out a CGI attack near the middle of the film.
NOES remake was just plain lazy. It takes the original script, tries to amp up some of the more disturbing parts, but ends up just committing cliche after cliche and relying way too much on jump scares that reach a laughable count (I think in theater I counted 30 or so).
And now for no reason:

Fun fact for the day: TR has seen Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer in concert. At the same show, no less.
Since we're throwing out some thoughts on the NOES remake, I was the BIGGEST proponent of the whole project, and was severely disappointed. It's my own fault for thinking that the PD douchebags would actually, you know, show some PRIDE in their work and try to hit a home run. Instead, we got run-of-the-mill modern slasher flick #4,789.
BTW, the Horror Thread (actually threads, plural, since there was a wraparound from Thread #8 to Thread #9 ) with the NOES 2010 release discussion was an awesome time.

Okay, folks, just in case you forgot, I want to remind everyone that tonight at 2 AM (I know it's technically tomorrow morning) THE BEYOND will be showing on Turner Classic Movies! I highly suggest you watch/Tivo/DVR/set your VCR to see this classic!
Here now is me lazily reposting my review from back in Horror Thread #6:
And after THE BEYOND, there's CRAWLSPACE, starring Klaus Kinski. Enjoy!

Don't think I ever mentioned it, but I actually have checked out The Beyond since your review of it. It's one of only three Fulci movies that I've seen (the other two being House by the Cemetery and City of the Living Dead), and it's every bit as good as you say it is. Just pure hallucinatory nightmare from beginning to end, and while it's obviously not a movie that I can dig out and watch any time I feel like it a la the Ju-On or F13 flicks, it's every bit the masterpiece.

Tomorrow night is the premier of Swamp Shark on Syfy. Might have to see how bad this one is Wasn't that at one time known as Jaws of the Mississippi before Universal brought the BANHAMMER down on the producers? changed to this? Also...I don't particularly care for this shark/creature design. Giving a shark blood red eyes and funky gills/fins doesn't make it ANY more scary. In fact, with its' red eyes and hillbilly teeth (seriously, check out the broken teeth on Bubba here) this shark looks more goofy than grisly. The curvaceous Kristy Swanson is in this, though, so if nothing else, there may be eye-candy if she dons a bathing suit.

Watched Mask Maker: Meet Your Maker tonight. It's a cliche set-up story that is still pretty good. The Short Plot: A bunch of college students work on fixing up an old house with a dark history and end up reanimating a killer who doesn't appreciate them being around and thus gets to eliminating them. The Over Explained Plot: A college-aged boyfriend decides to surprise his like-wise aged girl on her birthday. The big gift? He bought her a house and the 40 acres of land it sits on. Pretty insane, right? Well, it was dirt cheap because of the horrible, horrible, downright horrible history (involving voodoo and an off-screen baby sacrifice). Oh well, though, the plan is either to fix it up for the both of them (She has cold feet about a big relationship) or fix it up and sell it. See...the place also comes with EVERYTHING included. That's even the clothes of the former residents...and their antique china...and their bottles of wine that have been aging "Since Lincoln was in office." In other words, this dirt cheap piece of property is a daggone gold mine that no one has ever tapped before and the boyfriend is too stupid to realize that the whole place could be covered by red flags. I mean, he finds a backyard graveyard and assumes "It must be an Indian Burial Ground..." before IMMEDIATELY messing around and removing stuff. Craig T. Nelson would be shouting "Moron!" at the screen. So, of course, he ends up bringing back the killer who is the son of a voodoo lady who sacrificed a baby to reanimate him the first time because he was her son. He likes to take the face of the person he's recently killed and wear it like a mask. That's as close as we get to the title having any relevancy. Throw in a drunken storeworker who dealt with the killer the first time around (Played by Terry Kiser of Weekend at Bernie's fame) and the store owner of "Pluto's World of Goods" (Michael Berryman of the original The Hills Have Eyes in a not so subtle reference to said film) and I was pleasantly surprised. The plot has been done dozens upon dozen times but this film does it in a very enjoyable way with a surprisingly good script. That isn't to say there isn't flaws. The movie does have some disappointing moments and obvious bloopers that seemed to exist for a TV edit version (A girl in a tub goes from not covered to covered by suds between shots). Also, the ending is just kind of...weird. Not in an entirely bad way...but just different from the rest of the film. {Spoiler}After the movie has done a surprisingly good job making me root for the Main Girl, she manages to defeat the killer but is stopped by cops before she can set him on fire. This allows the cops to be idiots and the killer to rise up again.
While she's driving to the hotel room the cops promised her, she pulls over to cry and the killer arrives in a cop car. She doesn't notice it's him until he's right beside her and he promptly snaps her neck and carries her to the cop car while the soundtrack kicks up a rock "yeaaaah" style song.
I mean...the movie does an actual legit good job of making me like their main character and then I'm supposed to be happy the the supernatural killer lived and won? That's...weird. So, in all, I'd give it a B minus. Entertaining enough with some good moments. Doesn't rely on gore. But has a sketchy ending and some cliche idiot moments from characters that detract. Edit: Some Info that I figured I could edit in instead of double posting Hellraiser: Revelations is set for DVD release on Oct. 18, 2011. This is the first non-Doug Bradley Hellraiser since he turned down the role because he felt it was a rushed movie that had no intentions of improving the series (Which is pretty much correct as it was made solely so possession of the movie rights could be kept in order to do the remake). Also, Apollo 18 has released a 2nd trailer: And I'm going to randomly guess in spoilers that... {Spoiler}The last shot in the trailer is the last shot in the movie. I could be wrong, but it has that feel to me. Kind of like how Quarantine did the same thing.

So finished Silent Scream And Dorm... both were good although I felt that both took there time building the story. Dorm impressed me a little more because it was created by a group of college kids and still set a strong atmosphere despite some less then stellar effects. Like in one scene... {Spoiler}One of the kids parents is killed with a spiked bat. However the scene played out with multiple bat shots to the head and a real clunker sound effect. I think it would have been more effective to show one close up shot of the bat hitting the skull. And finished the Creepshow Blu-Ray. The visuals are great for a film this old, but it's pretty bare bones. Only includes a SD trailer.
