Most recent horror movie you just watched

[Lon of the Dead]

You'd probably like I'll Bury You Tomorrow...

Ooh! An SOV flick I haven't seen. Thanks for the heads up!

[Solo]

^^^ I actually liked that movie -- which only makes sense if you understand that I have what would be considered an improbably charitable affinity for no-budget SOV flicks. Incidentally, I prefer its original VHS title, "Eyes Are Upon You." The title was changed to the bland "Demon Lust" for its DVD release.

You like what you like. I'll tolerate them, if for no other reason than the old bones of nostalgia that a repeat viewing tend to dig up.

For peeps our age a Brinke Stevens yesteryear flick easily rocks that casbah. Many the "decade of excess" denzien found themselves hormone fueled by the Brinke and her bevy of buxom beauty scream queen counterparts... moments for us that irreplaceable in time and space.

Brinke's always been my favorite scream queen. I had firm yeses from both her and Debbie Rochon to star in a script I wrote back around '06, both playing against type, but it never got funding. Broke my friggin' heart. Worse, all our correspondences were through email so I never got to meet either of them in person.

Speaking of that particular yesteryear, my 17-year-old daughter frequently comments how she wishes she could have been around in the '80s. My response is usually along the lines of "Sucks to be you, the '80s were awesome."

Plot? gimme the cliffnotes version.

Yea the '80s really was something else. We got a Betamax in '82 or maybe '83, and a VHS later on after the bottom fell out of the Beta market . Basket Case and Escape From New York were the first 2 we ever rented. The very idea of being able to watch a movie at your own leisure in your own home was something special. "I can actually pause the pic or Fast F or rewind" Of course the remote was super long, and to fast FF or RW you actually turned what looked kind of like a stereo knob to do it, but hey, we be stylin'.

It truly was a magical time to have experienced.

Plot? gimme the cliffnotes version.

It was called Wrath of God, and was about a man who turns himself in to the police after killing his family on Christmas morning, claiming he was possessed by God. It was essentially a flip on the whole "the devil made me do it" kind of religious horror thing. The bulk of the movie is the killer relating his story via flashbacks to a police psychologist. Brinke was going to play the detective on the case, and Debbie was going to play the doomed wife of the killer. Anyway, that's the brass tacks version of the story. It actually went really deep into stuff like the psychology of religion, loss of faith, religious guilt, etc.

I still get interest in the script today, twelve years later, but I doubt it will ever actually get made. At least, not in today's overly PC/super-touchy religious climate. No one wants to make a movie about a vengeful God forcing people to kill their own families as punishment for their loss of faith and no longer appreciating this he sacrificed his own son for mankind. You know, that old chestnut.

A dreamy and pervy slasher. It's slow and ridiculous but charming in it's own way.

[IrishG3nt]

Honestly I did not like this that much as it was playing thru...jumpy and all over the place...however the last 30 minutes really brought it all together and I found myself really enjoying it after that.

[JenAdair]

I wasn't expecting an Australian western romantic ghost story from that cover. Yuck.

3/10
Inn Of The Damned 1975

This is a really good and unconventional slasher. Recommended.

8/10
Savage Weekend 1979

[Lon of the Dead]

Woodchipper Massacre (1988). Always good for a laugh (however unintentional).

[Lon of the Dead]

Superstition 2 (aka Witch Story, 1989), about a brother and sister who inherit a house, invite a bunch of friends to check the place out with them, and fall prey to the ghost of a witch executed in the house years before. As hokey as it sounds, replete with amateurish acting, bad writing and cinematography and clumsy direction. Splattery, though, but not always effectively so. Consider this one of those "I watched it so you don't have to" flicks. You're welcome. 3/10

[JenAdair]

Lon it sounds like you took two for the team today. i guess I took one too but you might be able to sink your teeth into it. It's definitely one of those unloved shot on video 80's flicks.

I love Fulci's films and this is no exception.

The "Magical Mystery Tour" scene was just amazing!

[Lon of the Dead]

The Sandman (1995). SOV no-budgeter about a trailer park author who catches on to a mysterious entity killing his neighbors in their sleep. Amateurish, which goes without saying when discussing SOV fillms, but it's at least a bit more technically polished than the usual SOV fare, courtesy of director J.R. (The Dead Next Door) Bookwalter. It also goes without saying that, SOV films being an acquired taste, this one will likely not appeal to the more mainstream fans. I've actually seen this one a couple dozen times over the years, and in fact just watched it again a couple weeks ago. But I recently got Amazon Prime on my Roku, and while browsing their titles earlier was surprised to find a number of Bookwalter films available to stream, so I decided what the hell.
