I am looking forward to this. I was surprised by how good Curse of Chucky was. I hope this one is just as good, if not better. I'm happy to see Brad Dourif's daughter Fiona Dourif making a return in this movie. Here's the trailer.

Night Of Filler (1981)
I'm not entirely sure why, but I really get a kick out of Night Of Horror. A movie where nothing happens. A story that seemingly goes on for years, yet never really gets started. And then, there's that Civil War reenactment footage that makes everything else seem more bearable, in comparison. Yeah, I find it all pretty funny. I find it funny that the guy who made this, actually made this. I find "the smudge" to be hilarious. And I honestly wouldn't want to know someone who didn't. But one thing I find funny. More "weird funny", I guess. But one thing that sticks out like a sore thumb, is that, despite the title, Night Of Horror isn't a Horror movie at all, technically speaking. But, if not Horror, then what is it?
Well, we finally made it! The bottom of the barrel. We'll get back to the genre issue, later, but there is a lot to be said about the more obvious issue. It's just so mind numbingly bad. Usually, that statement is meant as a figure of speech. But not in this case. Night Of Horror, at one point, had to be the worst, most incompetently made Horror film in existence. And to this day, it's probably in the bottom five, if you exclude movies that are intentionally bad. Coming up with words for this non existent story is going to be a chore, but you need to know about this one, so, here goes.
In this inappropriately titled sleep-aid, we have this guy, Steve, who has some issues that we can barely hear him elaborate on. His friend, Chris, wants answers, as Steve is even too messed up to pull his weight in the band. The mumbling and lack of conviction from both these non-actors makes it hard for one's mind to not wander within the first minute or two. However, if you pay close attention, it sounds like they're talking about something important. At least important to Steve. As this guy incoherently confides in his friend, who thinks he's on drugs, we learn that Steve has recently had an encounter with the supernatural, which has left him a bit shell shocked, for the lack of a better word. He just needs to be alone for a while, to clear his head. Chris still doesn't understand. Steve clears it all up with what may be the most boring story ever told.
It all started during a road trip Steve recently took with his half-brother and his wife, Colleen, along with her sister, Susan. The trip is mostly an opportunity for the half-brothers to check out a cabin in Virginia which they recently inherited. This trip can only be described as "ordinary". It doesn't seem like a movie road trip. It's like any road trip you've been on with your family. Sitting, waiting, some small talk, silence. Maybe a little bickering near the end. It becomes clear what few ideas they had to work with for this movie, after several drawn out scenes which included nothing but outdoor shots of the car moving, while narrator, Steve, comments on his preference for the backseat, countless times. He seems to have a crush on sister-in-law, Colleen, because he thinks she's deep. She proves this by reading him some Edgar Allen Poe. Steve approves.
Colleen is even deeper than Steve thinks, because she happens to be able to see and communicate with spirits. One night in the woods, Colleen is approached by the spirits of some Confederate soldiers, who talk far too slow, and without Southern accents. After a seance is held, these ghosts make it clear they need assistance of some kind, so they can rest in peace. But first, they want to talk about The Civil War for a while. And at this point, we are plunged into an eternity of boredom that makes us wish we were still out there in the woods with these people, merely hearing about it, as it would have to be more interesting than the Civil War reenactment footage that would not die! And let me just point out that I have never been one to fall asleep during a movie, regardless of how boring. And this one was no different until about half way through this scene, which only turned out to be about 6 or 7 minutes. An hour later, I awaken and immediately realize what had happened. Goddamn that Civil War footage! It was too much, even for me.
Later on, I run the tape back and finish the remainder of the movie, which is incoherent as ever, leaving a lot of questions. Questions concerning what these depressed ghosts actually wanted, as well as why Steve was so messed up by this completely harmless situation. After several more viewings, It finally dawned on me what exactly was happening, here. Still no idea what Steve's problem was, or if there was ever danger on any level. I don't think there was. And I don't think Night Of Horror is a Horror movie. It's just a bunch of stuff that happens.
Night Of Horror is a movie without a pulse, a movie without a story, a movie without a clue. Night Of Horror takes the cake in a lot of areas. None of which are very favorable. However, there is something about it that is somewhat hypnotic. A no doubt unintentional dreamlike atmosphere, along with the most unfitting score imaginable, does make the mind wander. Or depending on what time you watch it, might make the mind shut down, all together. That score, though. It's a pretty one. But it also sounds like it was meant for something far more meaningful than this. Music like that usually has a story attached to it. Director, Tony Malanowski, must be one of those Civil War weirdos, because the very next year, he made another movie which could easily be seen as a loose remake of Night Of Horror. Originally titled Cuse Of The Screaming Dead, it was later retitled Curse Of The Cannibal Confederates, by Troma. A far, far better movie. However, Night Of Horror is special. This isn't just another bad movie. This isn't just another boring movie. Night Of Horror is part of an exclusive breed of schlock which transcends what we know these qualities to be.
So many things should have been done differently, and any single one of them could have improved things immensely. Cutting out about ten of the most unnecessary minutes might have been wise. Not all movies need to be over an hour. Despite everything, I still like Night Of Horror, and would recommend it, just so you can see how bad these really get. If it's too much for you, there's certainly no shame in it. I couldn't withstand the first viewing, myself. But for those of you who are interested in finding the true bottom of the B-movie barrel, this could be it. Just don't watch it at night. 3/10

Any fans of Zombie Nightmare?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_Nightmare
I don't think I've ever seen this, unless I saw it on Mystery Science Theater 3000 and I just never noticed the title. It is one of Tia Carrere's first films, so, worth watching for the sake of completeness if you're a Tia fan. Also, Adam West was in it! That should be the reason I'm thinking of this movie, actually, but it's just a coincidence.
Anyway, I didn't notice this on the thread about everyone's Top 5 Zombie Movies... there are probably good reasons for that, ha ha. But, whatever, had to mention it.

TCM '74: A Slasher? To Be, or Not to Be.....
I say......"To Be!"
Kids split up and wander around, are killed with blunt objects and sharp thingies by a masked man, until only one final girl remains. The end.
Now, where's jriddle?

Challenge of the Apes - Discussion Thread
A few of the posters here have expressed some interest in this so I will go ahead and throw it out there. For the month of July we will have Challenge of the Apes!
War For the Planet of the Apes is set to open July 14th so I thought it would be fun to immerse myself and others in monkey madness. Here's how this challenge will work:
What counts?
Any movies or TV shows or shorts with an ape or monkey as the protagonist, antagonist or major supporting character. EDIT: By popular demand - any movie or TV show with apes or monkeys (or people in apes or monkeys suits) will count regardless of how major or minor that character is. EDIT: Documentaries will count too.
How do you get points?
It's time based - You get credit for the running time of whatever you watch. This means you can watch TV shows as well as shorts and movies.
For instance, if you watch the first POTA film with Chuck Heston it runs 112 minutes so that's worth 112 points. Then you watch the first episode of the POTA TV series which runs 50 minutes - that gives you 50 more points.
POTA (1968) - 112 points
POTA TV Series (1974) first episode - 50 points
Total so far: 162 points
Easy enough for a monkey to compete.
Can I get bonuses?
Sure. Since the Challenge was inspired by the release of the latest POTA film I've got several bonuses lined up for watching films/TV from that universe:
Watch the original five POTA films (POTA ('68), Beneath the POTA, Escape From the POTA, Conquest of the POTA, & Battle For the POTA) = 50 point bonus.
Watch the more recent extra crispy POTA films (Burton's POTA, Rise of the POTA, Dawn of the POTA & War For the POTA) = 50 bonus points.
Watch the 14 episodes of the POTA TV series from 1974 = 50 point bonus
Watch the 13 episodes of the animated Return to the POTA TV series = 50 point bonus
And because I have a soft spot in my heart for Kong - watch any five Kong films from this official list and get a 50 point bonus:
King Kong ('33), Son of Kong, KK Vs. Godzilla, KK Escapes, King Kong ('76), KK Lives, King Kong (2005), & Kong: Skull Island.
Reading Bonuses:
EDIT: Read any novel or collection of short stories or comics set in either the POTA or Kong Universe and get a 50 point bonus!
ie: read Planet of the Apes by Pierre Boulle = 50 points
read: King Kong by Edgar Wallace = 50 points
read: King Kong Vs. Tarzan by Will Murray = 50 points
read: Tarzan on the Planet of the Apes by Tim Seeley = 50 points
That's 200 bonus points to add to your movie/TV score.
FTVs worth anything?
Not this time. I feel like revisions are good for evolving so I encourage them as much as I do FTVs.
Do I have to watch monkey movies from the POTA and Kong universes?
Nope. As long as the protagonist, antagonist or major supporting characters are apes or monkeys it will count. Heck, even if it's just one scene with a couple of guys wearing ape suits it will count.
Does it have to be horror?
Nope. Any genre counts.
Does it have to be real apes?
WTF!!!! Real monkeys count too but so do stop-motion, men in suits, animated, cgi or Serkisized.
If there is enough interest I'll post the actual challenge thread next week. Challenge will run July 1 through July 31.

Amazon Prime
Who here is a prime member? If so, how do you like it?
I've been a member for almost 3 years now and I love it. For $90 a year, you can't complain too much about getting free two day shipping on a lot of items. Also, they have some good movie and TV content that's Prime exclusive, especially the original Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack. Prime Day is July 11th, I just hope I don't forget about it like I did last year.

Carnage Park (2016)
Hey! Sorry, I haven't been here for a long time.. So, I've recenly seen Carnage Park (2016) and it's not that bad.
It's a indie crime/horror film about the sniper and the girl trying to escape, or kill him. I really liked it a lot! It has excellent editing, brilliant cinematography, nice story, good performances. The Last Exorcism's Ashley Bell is supposed to be annoying from it, but I actually think she gave a superb performance. While the first hour was entertaining, but I didn't really enjoy the last 25 minutes because mine scene was so darkly filmed and should have been shorter. But again, it has a fine story. If you are a fan of Tarantino/Rob Zombie films, then you will for sure enjoy it (well, maybe except the last 25 minutes). This movie don't deserves a low rating, I think it's actually such a fantastic film and totally underrated. Just entertaining and enjoyable movie!
8/10.
