I look forward to "The Girl Who Knew Too Much". As far as seeing [rec] before you - that's one! B-)<BR/><BR/>Shannon, if you ever come across that "Billy Jack" trailer we saw, forward it to me with all due speed!<BR/><BR/>As for "Shocker", I think I made my feelings clearon that in the subsequent post.<BR/><BR/>E.C., good point about Cronenberg capturing those winter scenes. If I remember correctly, he totally gets that squeeky snow sound in "Dead Zone".Bob Turnbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02243657105760780425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977893001776125260.post-9103983940030538362008-10-09T08:05:00.000-05:002008-10-09T08:05:00.000-05:00No one accuses Wes Craven for stealing from himsel...No one accuses Wes Craven for stealing from himself enough. So allow me to do that here.<BR/><BR/>"WES, STOP STEALING FROM YOURSELF ALL THE TIME."<BR/><BR/>Okay, now that I've done that, I feel better.<BR/><BR/>And like Kimberly, I'm a fan of Nightbreed. It's terrible but it's my kind of terrible. <BR/><BR/>Brood isn't your typical horror movie which is why I like it. <BR/><BR/>It creeps on you as most Cronenberg films do, but this one especially. No other film except maybe The Dead Zone captures the Canadian cold and quiet like this movie does.PIPERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13054305230216613759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977893001776125260.post-60646462121671674262008-10-08T12:00:00.001-05:002008-10-08T12:00:00.001-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Shannon the Movie Moxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02882101582835293159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977893001776125260.post-79637284897547705842008-10-08T12:00:00.000-05:002008-10-08T12:00:00.000-05:00Those trailers from [REC] were so much fun, I'm gl...Those trailers from [REC] were so much fun, I'm glad you posted them here even if the Billy Jack one is different - that movie looks hilarious!

I couldn't really tell the tone of Shocker from its trailer - I was hoping for fun with interesting and weird death scenes, but I'm wondering now if it perhaps has a bit more of a nasty streak to it...I'll see.<BR/><BR/>Reed and Eggar definitely put it all out there, don't they. Eggar was kinda creeping me out even in the early stages, so it set up that last scene with her really well. Man, there's a couple of images that are going to stay with me for sure...<BR/><BR/>And though Blood And Black Lace did have some great looking scenes, I just didn't feel much creepiness or tension during the "kills". Well, except for maybe the one where the green light is flashing and has the suit of armor. That was kinda cool...And, well, the woman's face under water was a bit unsettling...But it just didn't add up to much for me. I'm sure I'll come back to it one day though.<BR/><BR/>Amicus rocks!Bob Turnbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02243657105760780425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977893001776125260.post-8988307504960772072008-10-07T00:41:00.000-05:002008-10-07T00:41:00.000-05:00Wow!

Cronenberg's cameo is tops. On the other hand, I REALLY hated Shocker. I'm curious to see what you think.<BR/><BR/>I haven't seen Billy Jack since I was about 16 so my memory is totally fuzzy but I can remember being entertained by it. It's really a product of its time.<BR/><BR/>The Brood is one of my favorite Cronenberg movies. Oliver Reed and Samantha Eggar totally go for broke in it.<BR/><BR/>Blood and Black Lace is the first giallo and a lot of people find it too old-fashioned and filled with Bava's gothic sensibilities. I'm surprised you disliked it so much though. I personally love the movie (just look at those fabulous stills you posted!) but you might like Bava's Five Dolls for an August Moon more.<BR/><BR/>Last but not least, yay for Amicus anthologies and Yokai monsters! I hope you enjoy the other Yokai movies when you get the chance to see them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
