Paid Members LaGoosh Posted May 18, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted May 18, 2014 I loved Monsters too. What's weird is that that film is really smart and the two main characters are interesting and you care about their story and the monster scenes are done to really great effect...which is the complete opposite of this movie. Â I can't really say which is better because obviously they both suck but I will say that at least the Broderick one attempted to inject some levity and fun into it so it's not just total dreary gloom and doom. This one made no such attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted May 18, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted May 18, 2014 I'm glad I'm not the only one that was left bemused by all the positive reviews. LaGoosh sums it up well, in that it's a ratio of 2 hours of dross / 10 minutes of fun. I thought the trashed RoboCop remake was a more even and consistently fun film - although, nothing is as fun in the RoboCop film as the Godzilla finale.

Undefeated Steak Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I watched Saving Mr Banks recently. What a pile of shite. I don't know what I was expecting to be honest, it's my own fault. Stay well clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I seen it at the cinema. If you disliked that avoid Hotel Grand Bucharest and the Walter Mitty movies like the plague. Brutal, SMB is good in comparison.

Kawaii Guy Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 They had a low budget horror section in my local Head, so I bought The House By The Cemetery, The Beyond and The Deadly Spawn. Obviously i'm not expecting cinematic masterpieces here but are any of these any good? I've read mixed reviews on all to be honest  The Beyond has gone from one of my favourite bad movies, to one of my favourite films in general. Fulci is probably one of those filmmakers that was sure his films were oscar worthy, instead they are full of ridiculous effects and plots with massive holes in them. The Beyond has some really great moments, and the score is brilliant, and as long as you dont take it too seriously its great.  House by the cemetery is the third part of a trilogy with the Beyond and City of the Living Dead, if you like silly italian gore movies, the whole trilogy is worth a watch.

House by the Cemetery, maybe, but The Beyond is absolutely magic.  As is the Deadly Spawn - there is nothing bad whatsoever about that movie.

Fulci has plenty of odd moments (the ending of City of the living dead etc) but I am a big fan of him. New York Ripper is another one I love by him.  I haven't seen Deadly Spawn, I havnt been able to continue my obsession with anything arrow releases recently, Havnt picked anything up since Maniac Cop and the Troma releases.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted May 20, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) I remember watching an uncut version of the "New York Ripper". Quite brutal actually. It's got some guy in it who was in "Allo Allo" too, which makes it even more weird. Â My new fave Youtube channel. Tons of "B-Movie" trash on there, as well as a few "Rambo" Italian ripoffs. Â B-Movie Action Films! Â "The Vindicator" is a decent one. Made in 1986, the film "Robocop" obviously ripped off some bits from it.

Magnificent stuff, i'd forgotten all about Stranglehold and it's rather young, suave looking Bennett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted May 20, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2014 (the ending of City of the living dead etc)  Yeah, that one is a real head-scratcher. Obviously, he had no idea how to end the movie, and I'm not sure if it works or not. That film fucks me up  <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler When Antonella Interlenghi throws up her insides, I was both nauseated and mystified.  [close spoiler] ");document.close(); This link to the above spoiler, btw, is disgusting.
