The Underground Genre.

[Cobretti]

Who gives a rat's ass if some prick horror movie elitist on the internet considers you a 'true' horror fan or not?

So you enjoy bad acting, writing, production values, special effects, etc... and consider those types of films superior to 'mainstream' movies. Congratulations.

Not me, but still waiting for this guy to give me some UG recommendations and he hasn't said one yet. I hate UG movies, but will open my mind to some if recommended by others.

[Fulcento]

I never said "real" horror fans don't watch UG films so turn it down DM. I also don't agree that UG should be a byword for shitty goreno flicks, I take underground to mean anything not widely distributed or marketed, without the backing of a major studio or released without publicity. Personally I hate shit like the A.U.M trilogy and Lucifer Valentine's garbage. Underground is a home-made movie, often starring friends of the director, utilising no real sets and they're mostly labours of love oft times shot over the course of years as the maker/s scrimp and save to get the final product out there. I can't give you an extensive list of UG horror movies because it's almost impossible to categorize or pigeon hole them as such but I would recommend anything by Olaf Ittenbach or Jim Van Bebber, Last House On Dead End Street's an excellent film, The Poughkeepsie Tapes is very good and Man Bites Dog is superb. There's hundreds out there but the waters are murky so do your own research

[DMHead777]

So I ask you to give me recommendations and you give me 3 movies and tell me to do my own research? I'm not into the genre enough to do research in it. I'll check out the..three..films you said, but uh..maybe someone else can give me some must-sees.

[woodenheart]

Poughkeepsie Tapes blows dick.


You should start off with Deadbeat at Dawn a masterpiece. I kinda think DM would like it. Man Bites Dog excellent choice also Singapore Sling..

[DMHead777]

I've actually heard of them all. I'll check them out

[Primetimeloser]

I'll third Man Bites Dog. Singapore Sling is good if you don't read to much of the hype on it before hand.

I'm not your fucking P.A, duh, uh, could you give me a list of overground horror films please? DUH, I'm too lazy to look into it myself

[Fulcento]

Poughkeepsie Tapes blows dick.

No, it doesn't, there's about 60 actors in it and it was made on a pittance so credit where credit's due. At least you agree with me on Deadbeat At Dawn & Man Bites Dog though

[DMHead777]

I'm not your fucking P.A, duh, uh, could you give me a list of overground horror films please? DUH, I'm too lazy to look into it myself

Wow you are dumb

Overground? Lazy? I said I have no interest in underground movies enough for me to research them..That's not being lazy if I want some recommendations.

Not my fault you recommended me a shitty movie and you felt like an idiot.

[Fulcento]

LMFAO, you gave me an infraction because we had a difference of opinion! It would be tragic if it wasn't so pathetic
Don't worry DM, you'll grow a backbone one day and learn how to debate films.

[DMHead777]

I didn't give you an infraction because of difference of opinions. I gave you an infraction because of your pointless post. I do have a back bone, but uh..we're not debating films. I don't know anything about the underground genre..so how is that debating? Oh well, I have got my recommendations from Wooden and I'm going to check them out soon.

Maybe by the time I get back later tonight Fulcento will have grown a pair of testicles and not cry over a useless infraction.

[Fulcento]

You're a hopeless case DM, the recommendations w00den extolled were both borne from my earlier comments.
You've given me two infractions tonight, both of which for disagreeing with you.
Tell you what, and this is guaranteed an infraction: you are a thick, self important tosser who is unable to converse intelligently with anyone with a different view for fear of being proven naive so you compensate with your power to veto and infract comments.
I'm on a hat-trick here...
Why don't you just learn how to argue properly?
Not only would it save me from your infractions - you might even learn something

[DMHead777]

Didn't even read what you wrote, keep going though so I can infraction ban you.

[Fulcento]

Didn't even read what you wrote, keep going though so I can infraction ban you

You infracted me without even reading what I said?
It's a brave new world in DM's head! HEIL

[xxsic4slipknotxx]

Now play nice children....let's stick back to the thread topic.

[Primetimeloser]

Yup lets stay on topic...I Saw the Devil is arthouse

Oh wait underground horror is awesome!

[Fulcento]

4 in one night, even the missus hasn't seen that much action in a loooong while

[Splat]

In the end I don't give a fuck what other people like, each to there own. I really dig UG from the points wooden made earlier on.

[Primetimeloser]

On the recommendation front I saw a screener for #12. I thought I was a pretty interesting take on the fake snuff film. It looks like that is all the company does. Too bad some of their stuff is insanely overpriced.
