I put it in my Netflix Queue...of course it could be a total stinker...but there's something old school about the look of it.

I know he's a boy, but he is blond.

I'm not sure what's more evil, the fact that she killed people, or the fact that she charged her friends a quarter to look at her older sister naked?

Recently watched Hatchet II, I enjoyed it, though I definitely liked the first one better. My main complaint was Tamara Feldman didn't reprise her role...I like Danielle Harris, but I didn't like her in this role...Feldman was good at being both tough and vulnerable, Harris just seemed to blubber through the whole thing.

I liked the small reference Adam Green made to his other film Frozen, and Lloyd Kaufman's non-speaking cameo.

Forgot about those Village of the Damned kids. They were spooky little bastards. Haha!

Just finished watching:

Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (1973)



(IMDb)Actors led by Alan Ormsby go to graveyard on remote island to act out necromantic ritual. The ritual works, and soon the dead are walking about and chowing down on human flesh.

Great movie! So many things about it were really entertaining, which is ultimately why I watch this sort of movies. Not to be schooled, or made to ponder life's wonders, but mere amusement. The bad acting, the cheesy dialog, even the dated feel of the film just makes it all the more endearing to me. For every "bad" aspect of it, there's usually a "good" one that makes up for it tho.

The acting isn't "horrible" but is something like watching a community theater group perform "Night of the Living Dead". There are parts in the film, when the action finally starts to turn up a notch, that we get the best performances out of the players. Anya's mental breakdown is a great performance, when one of the girls is carried off into the woods screaming in terror. Even the antagonist "Alan" finally gets believable when his life is on the line.

This film takes a different twist on the genre, in how the zombies come to terrorize the humans. I won't say how, but I will say that the group of people brought it on themselves (hence the name of the movie.) Some will find the character's acts disturbing, to say the least, and it's a stretch to believe that all of them would go along with Alan's deeds for the amount of time they do.

If you take your zombie flicks very seriously, and get your thrills from seeing heads exploding and guts being munched, then you may want to skip this one. However, I recommend this movie to any fan of the genre if only for the reason that it's a different take on a theme that you've seen copied a hundred times.

I'm a huge fan of Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things, I think it still has the best zombies rising from the grave moments than any other zombie movie.

It's cheesy, but has great atmosphere about it.

Before Bob Clark passed away there were rumors of a remake, but I haven't heard anything in awhile.

Yeah, me too. Definitely one of my favorite cheesy flicks.

Yes, I was actually going to edit my post to ask you about the remake, but you beat me to it. :)

Now be honest- what was scarier, the zombies, or the fashion?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! The striped bell bottoms, the shiny mustard yellow top and that heart-printed shirt!

I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER


The most important lesson one will learn from this movie is "When you run over a dude, make sure dude is dead. As in really, really dead. If you must, run over him again, and then again just for good measure. I mean, really, when you think about it, if you hit the guy and you have cut rate insurance, then you will save yourself a ton of hassle by running him over until you know he is dead."

As we learn in this film (written by Kevin Williamson), some dudes can survive a car hitting them at 80+MPH. But the villain in this movie must have the famous Tiger Blood that Charlie Sheen has been raving about. And it is ever so apparent that Williamson is preaching more car mutalation and less, oh I dunno....less "dude comes back one year later to get his revenge on those dang kids who almost (even though the villain does walk out in front of the car) killed him.

I'm not suggesting that you go all GTA on normal people. Just those dumb enough to walk out into the middle of the road, late at night, where it is flipping dark. Yeah. Hit those bastards. Hit them again and again. I mean, your gonna cover it up cause you were drinking, speeding, and no matter if you have Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt and there nice boobs, the cops will bust yo azz! Plus, the victim/villain will just come back after you, cause you serious emotional stress, then kill you with his hook.

So, you should treat this film as more of a informative piece. It's for your own personal education. All thanks to Kevin Williamson.

People need to learn not to piss Gorton's fisherman off!

That should've been the tag line for the film.

Gotta love the death scenes in Hatchet 2, a guy strangled with his own intestines, I guy beheaded as he is taking a woman from behind.

Also if you want to hear the whole story on what happened with Hatchet 2, the MPAA, and AMC theaters, listen to the commentary(with Adam Green, Tony Todd, and Kane Hodder) Adam goes into detail on what happened.

Yet another film getting a remake.

Just managed to barely survive watching:

Zombie Driftwood

I love zombie films, especially if there's a bit of comedy involved. Having some cheesy bits in it is not a bad idea as well, since I'm a sucker for it. But quite frankly, Zombie Driftwood was like being mentally and visually tortured. I think getting a pair of rusty pliers and pulling your fingernails off one by one would be more enjoyable than having to sit through this horrible film.

Where do I even begin in describing this agonizingly disastrous movie? Everything about it was pathetic. I've seen a lot of badly done make up, fake-looking fake blood and ghastly prosthetics, but this one takes the cake. It's like watching someone's poorly made Halloween party, only much more inferior. And do not get me started on the script or the acting. Ugh. I've watched more convincing characters in a Kindergarten school musical.

My advice: Stay as far away from this movie as possible.

Are you trying to say you didn't like it?

whats up with yall's pics? some kind of monkey loving going on here?
if so, good for yall - lol
