That’s a lovely poster

Petagno · 2019-07-15T20:21:56.087Z

Given the quality and range of images used in the film, the main poster they’ve been using is annoyingly rubbish…

Spare night in London next week and the BFI are showing this (which I have not heard of but sounds like a treat)

Tombs of the Blind Dead

Tombs of the Blind Dead is a 1972 Spanish-Portuguese horror film written and directed by Amando de Ossorio. Its original Spanish title is La noche del terror ciego (lit. English: The Night of the Blind Terror). The film was the first in Ossorio's "Blind Dead" series, spawning three official sequels: Return of the Blind Dead (1973), The Ghost Galleon (1974) and Night of the Seagulls (1975). Its success helped kickstart the Spanish horror film boom of the early 1970s. Ossorio has stated that Gust...

Risen From The Dead - The Rolling Horror Thread 2019 Film & TV

Watched on Friday: El ataque de los muertos sin ojos aka The Return of the Evil Dead . This is the second of Amando de Ossorio’s Blind Dead sequence but was the first that I came across many years ago, back when Redemption was beginning to put out editions of Euro-horror titles like this on VHS with those oh-so distinctive black and white S&M covers. TBH, I seem to recall not loving this when I first saw it – it was all a bit too slow-moving for my tastes and finding out that it was cut after ha…

Not ventured in here in a while but I watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Next Generation yesterday. What on earth is all that about?!

Was anyone else also underwhelmed with Prevenge ?

TKC:

underwhelmed with Prevenge

Oh absolutely. Rarely have I ever felt such a gap between how much I thought I was going to love a film and the actual experience of watching it. Loved the concept, the set up, everything, but watching it was excruciating

TKC · 2019-07-21T20:51:30.105Z

The bits where the baby spoke to her were AWFUL. And the actual murders were just super dull followed by a corny one liner.

Shame as I do like Alice Lowe but yeah, wont ever get the urge to rewatch this

funnily enough i enjoyed it more on rewatch where i knew where i was getting (ie more of an offbeat/comedic metaphor film than a scary horror)

Petagno · 2019-07-25T16:13:50.212Z

Watched last night, Us…

Enjoyed this. Doesn’t hang around too much getting into the action, but the final reveal takes its time to build nicely. Excellently shot and structured, with nods to various other genre films - The Shining, Invasion Of The Body Snatcher, Funny Games and The Strangers being the obvious ones. Despite that, nice and original in its execution and enjoying the same black humour that Get Out displayed. The final twist is not all that surprising, but it stays with you as it makes you question the actions and fate of the antagonists who had gone before. 8/10

I think I’d totally be up for this. From what I gather, Aster had to cut a lot to get an R rating, so if what’s put back in is some of that footage, it could make a pretty intense experience even more gruelling.

SloameOcean · 2019-07-26T14:06:28.734Z

What a year for horror, with this and Midsommar. Find that I often find myself thinking about both films…

maggieloveshopey · 2019-07-29T19:54:19.512Z

Quite excited about this. Haven’t seen it since the original cinema release and thought it had been long since forgotten about.

SloameOcean · 2019-07-29T20:27:29.000Z

I’ve never seen this - is it any good?

maggieloveshopey · 2019-07-29T20:30:56.848Z

I thought it was in 1990, but I haven’t seen it since then. It’s one of those films where the story is that the studio never understood it and demanded all kinds of reshoots and changes which compromised the original idea, so the director’s cut here is very tempting. And David Cronenberg’s in it.

SloameOcean · 2019-07-29T21:05:07.000Z

It’s one of those films that I always mean to watch but never quite get round to. Maybe this is the time - Arrow do put out very good releases. Speaking of which, I’m probably going to give Hounds of Love a watch later this week…
