Death Walks at Midnight

Is this any good? Is it the same movie as Death Walks in High Heels? Both have the same actress.

Horror/Thriller movies set in school settings?

I have watched Detention - 2011 (closer i ever got to suicide).

Kong: Skull Island

Discuss the latest King Kong movie.

I just had to make a thread to post this glorious hand drawn poster art for it. Something that is absent from modern day movies.

Life (2017)


This new horror/scifi film is about people who discovers a new life from on Mars as life tells the story.

I think it's so good, but my main problem is that characters didn't show their real feelings (just a bit), they were so cold when someone dies. Not afraid or nervous.

I didn't find any characters really memorable except Jake Gyllenhaal's character, I thought he was good as always.

The idea for horror story is cool, and the ending.. my God, it's unexpectedly shocking and sad, but brilliant. It's easily the best part of the movie! I'm glad they didn't make a happy ending.

I don't get why Ryan Reynolds is on poster while he played the first character to die. It's simply because he is Deadpool lol.

8/10, I really liked it! So, if you've seen it, what are your thoughts?

Anybody fancy themselves a writer?

We know @Tromafreak writes movie reviews. We know @zed writes songs. We know @ninjas writes perverted awesome rants. I know @cyborg wrote a pilot for amazon studios (that I hope he'll elaborate on). The estranged @ballz writes short stories and is working on a novel (he's not around, but I do keep in contact with him). Do you write anything? Elaborate on your writing ambitions.

I've written a couple dozen songs. I don't have the instrumental skills that zed possesses (he's got me beat on that and coding, cuz he's a fucking bad-ass), but I've written a few tunes I'm quite proud of. I've also written a bunch of screenplays in the past that I want to retool for my ultimate project, which would be an ongoing series of comedy/drama horror stories set in my own weird ren-o-verse. I spend a lot of my time trying to outline that, but I end up zoning out most of the time. Years of marijuana and laziness will make you very unproductive, but on some ocassions, it can lead to some profoundly weird tales!

Please elaborate on your creative writing endeavors!

Who is drinking beer tonight?

there is this delicious fucking Chocolate Stout at a bar near my house. I will drink 2 or 3 of those.

Why aren't websites more popular?

Everyone turns to stupid apps these days, but websites can do most anything. I guess with apps, it's all pretty much laid out, whereas websites have different browsers and whatnot that can affect functionality, ie obsolete/deprecated features.

Blah blah. I think the internet can be a great resource for ANYTHING. I never went to college because I have the internet at my hands. I have no need to let those brainwashing establishments turn ME into a liberal idiot. I can just go online and search for something, and find out how to do it. I built this ENTIRE site by looking shit up online, for example. No small feat, but a gradual work in progress.

I think websites can feature all sorts of great communities, but as I've found recently, message board communities are dying, in favor of single-domain based conglomerates, like facebook and reddit. Where have all the good sites gone? If you had a website, what would you want it to be?

Andy Warhol's Bad (1977)



Back in the late 80's and 90's, when I used to browse the video rental stores, I mainly kept my choices within the Horror genre. And almost always picked weird B-movies and obscure cult classics. But occasionally, I would come across something not of the Horror genre, while still trashy, weird and low-budget. Stuff like Eating Raoul, Pink Flamingos, and The Doom Generation. There's one I came across early on that we don't really hear much about, even nowadays. A movie called Andy Warhol's Bad. The first cult comedy I remember renting. A very 70's, comically mean-spirited film starring a still very hot, middle-aged Carroll Baker. Along with Perry King who is playing a role originally meant for Joe Dallesandro. Unlike the always laid back Joe, Perry King just looks like a dick. Which works, because the character he's playing is in fact a dick. Come to think of it, everyone in this movie is a dick.

In this gloriously un-PC tale, Perry King playes L.T. Not only a dick, but a dick with no conscience. A small time hitman-for-hire. L.T. recently got hooked up with a woman named Hazel. A seemingly normal suburban housewife who runs an Electrolysis business out of her house, which is nothing more than a cover for her real source of income. Hazel provides ruthless hit women to her clients who need certain jobs done that they don't necessarily have the guts for. Usually murder. Sometimes a kid or a baby. L.T. recently got a sweet job where all he has to do is murder an autistic kid whose ashamed mother has basically ordered a very late abortion for her little disappointment. That's fine. L.T. is up for just about anything as long as he's getting paid. Unfortunately, in an age before cell phones, L.T. has to stick around Hazel's crib all week and wait for her call. And Hazel's a much bigger dick than he is. Constantly nagging him, and being flat out cruel at times. At one point, Hazel even stoops to injuring the man just because she's tired of looking at his stupid face. A bit harsh, but who cares? L.T. sucks.

Hazel is a cold, greedy bitch. Hazel has her whiny, hopeless daughter-in-law living with her. Mary appears to be the most depressed person on the planet. Hazel's no-good son took off on Mary some time ago, and left her with a crying infant, whom she holds all day while sitting in the kitchen, whining to Hazel, who she gets zero sympathy from, as well as zero financial help. But I suppose letting her stay there is good enough considering what a horrible person she is.The hot hit women who pass through sometimes pick on poor Mary, which usually makes her cry and/or freak out.

I Mary is hopeless because she is surrounded by evil people who hate her and probably her baby. Meanwhile, we get to sit in on some of these hits. One chick cuts a guy's thumb off in a fairly bloody scene. A couple of other chicks stabs some old guy's dog on the orders from a paranoid woman named Ethel, who thought the guy made fun of her fatness the other day. And later on, a baby gets thrown from a tall building in what is no doubt the most memorable scene in the movie. With the exception of Mary Everyone in Bad is cold and ruthless. Even those who aren't complete dicks are still somewhat fucked up. When it comes to money, these people will do anything. Even the cop, who has been breathing down Hazel's neck, is willing to look the other way if the price is right.

I tend to think of Bad as the black sheep of the Warhol movies. In fact, it's not really even one of the Warhol movies at all. Atleast not the ones I saw years later. I'm not sure if the man even had anything to do with this one. Or any of them for that matter. But the original "Andy Warhol films" did star Joe Dallesandro, and were directed by a guy named Paul Morrissey, who often casted his regular group of weirdos and misfits in some very raw, highly improvised films, far more low-budget than this one, and usually offering far less story, which also had a bit of a gay vibe to them. Not entirely unlike an old John Waters epic. Just less interesting. Bad, however, has none of these qualities. Besides being directed by the guy who edted a couple of Morrissey's films, the only thing Bad has in common with any of the past Warhol films is Stefania Casini (Andy Warhol's Dracula) who plays one sick bitch in this one. And a hot one, I might add. Bad is farmore entertaining than any of those other films, yet lacks the specific flavor that made them unique.

Also worth mentioning is Gordon Oas-Heim, who played Adam Sorg in Herschell Gordon Lewis' Color Me Blood Red some years earlier. Oas-Heim makes a couple appearances as Hazel's discouraged-looking husband whom she verbally abuses and controls. Unfortunately, this fine actor was not given one word of dialogue, which I guess worked on a comedic level. Most of the comedy in Bad works well. Not so much with Perry King, though, as he's really the only one of all the unlikeable characters that I didn't find the least bit ammusing. Most of his attempts at humor don't even make sense.It's a shame they couldn't have gotten Joe Dallesandro for this. Although, it probably wouldn't have made the movie THAT much better. Either way, this would-be cult classic is hilariouss and pulls no punches. One of the sleaziest comedies to come out of the 70's, and deserving of far more notoriety than it's ended up with. A decent dvd/blu-ray release is long overdue. But I'm sure it'll happen sooner or later. Bad is not bad at all. Not eve close. As far as I'm concerned, they should have just called this movie Andy Warhol's Awesome! 7/10

A horror movie about rape

Rape is bad. It's very bad. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. But I'll gladly wish it upon hundreds of fictional characters, because why the hell not, they're not real, and they're not me, so what's the harm?
Now you might think I'm a tad odd, but chances are, if you clicked on this thread, you're just like me, and would also secretly enjoy watching random chicks being rammed for no good reason whatsoever. Just like you enjoy watching fictional peeps being gutted and decapitated all damn day, this is the Horror Board after all! So for all you sick freaks out there who clicked on this thread, you might just be interested in my thoughts on the latest perverted little horror rape flick I got my hands on, titled simply;

The Hospital (2014).

Not exactly a standout title. Had I called my thread, The Hospital, no one would have batted an eye lid my direction, or if they did, they probably wouldn't have been my intended audience, so I figured I'd be more descriptive. So yeah, rape. Rape rape, rape. That's what's this movie is about. But I suppose I should go into more detail for you. Here we go.

An old abandoned hospital is rumoured to be haunted. A group or paranormal enthusiasts go visit it to see what they find. Meanwhile, the hospital is watched by a very fat man who likes the rape people. And rape people. And rape people. There's so much rape in this movie it's beautiful.



Okay, so that's the basic synopsis, without me giving too much away. So, is the movie any good?

No. No it's not. This movie is so bad. So very, very bad. But, that doesn't mean it's not enjoyable! So don't stop reading just yet.

This movie is well made. Decent production values, a decent sized cast, good lighting and pretty entertaining script, it even has a score made for the movie, so it's got a lot going for it.
Where it falls down, is the acting is bad. Very bad. This movie isn't self aware either, it's actually trying to be a good movie. So the bad acting kinda take you out of it. This movie could have been a masterpiece, unfortunately, I was pretty annoyed with the two main antagonists (not gonna spoil who they are). They came across as a bit too energetic and hyper. It made them look less menacing, and more like excited children who would throw tantrums every now and then.
The sounding was also very off, and the special effects are worse. This movie actually made me think of a mean spirited version of Birdemic. Those effects were so bad. So very bad. The ending especially, oh dear.

Now that's a lot of negativity, but where I praise it, is.....wait for it...the rape scenes! Never thought I'd be saying this, but the rape scenes in this movie are awesome. It's basically the only reason to watch this film. And come on, I know you all want to see a fat rapist raping a fat chick, so don't deny it!
So, here's where this movie gets interesting. The rape scenes really aren't justified. There is no excuse for the blatant repeat of abuse. The women in it being constantly degraded and recycled for the viewer to watch. Scenes like necrophilia and sodomy, none of it is necessary. This is one of the reasons why many people hated it. Feminists and such calling shenanigans on the blatant abuse of women. Well this is the main reason why I loved it! The filmmakers didn't come up with a reason for the abuse, they just thought, 'why the hell not'! As a woman, I'm here to say....there's nothing wrong with that. Come one, we're all horror fans, we all love seeing people die in horrible ways. That doesn't make us bad people, just people with very active imaginations. We don't need a reason to justify us being gorehounds, why should rape be any different? Even A Serbian Film used justification of it all being a metaphor, but nah, The Hospital has nothing! Just rape. Rape, rape, rape. The filmmakers have balls, I'll give them that.

As ballsy as this movie is, it's still, technically, a bad movie. But I enjoyed it. I was particularly fond of the only decent actor in the whole thing, Daniel Emery Taylor, who played our fat rapist. Just look at this guy, doesn't he just look like the best rapist, he's even got the pedo tash going on!



My only complaint, is that guy doesn't get fully naked nearly as much as I would like. We see plenty of tits, but so little of this guys fat arse. Tragic, really. No need to be shy, you're in a horror movie dammit!

Many thanks to Ninjas for this movie, if anyone is interested in watching it, beware of the very heavily edited version online, some cutting out as much as 20 mins from the movie, which I can only assume are the very best bits. I checked out the uncut version on veehd, so enjoy, you sick freaks!

As always, thanks for reading,
