Nice little horror flick about a family that brings their daughter back to life for a few days to say goodbye to her. Aiden Gillen stars (Petyr Baelish in Game of Thrones)
Dig that flick. So old school Hammer-y, Pet Semetary meets Wicker Man! Good stuff.

Saw Hit & Run today. WAY all over the map. Bizarrely great cast and cameos too. Tries to be a comedy, a relationship movie, and a car chase movie and ends up doing none well. Love KB but this movie was just not very good. Maybe a 6/10.

What?
Wasn't scary at all and the lead actor was ****ing terrible. When he screamed "NOO" I literally laughed out loud because of how bad he was.

Yeah, but...Herman Munster. And they had a kid GETTING SHELLACKED by a SEMI while Ramones blasted in the background. C'mon man...and 'sometimes...dead is bettuh'. Disagree.

What?
The Changeling is a bit overrated.
No, it's just old fashioned and not LOUD like movies today. Woman in Black is very similar.

I was thinking, well, cause I always forget. It wasn't "Beat on the Brat" that was playing in that scene was it? It should had been.
Dunno. I do agree that the main guy wasn't that great. Herman Munster was good to see, but not quite the guy I had in mind when I read the novel.
It's one of those films that really doesn't do justice to the novel, hell, Pet Semetary is one of my favorite novels, I like it more than The Shining, sue me.
But the films is a pretty good for what it is, and it has cats, albeit creepy one, and the kid is one of the all time great creepy performances.
You're telling me about old fashion movies. I watch silents.
No seriously, the first half of that movie sets up something bigger, I mean, the first five minutes alone, and Scott's pain, anguish, and loneliness during the first half, but when it gets into the mystery about the kid, well, it does loses steam. I like slow burning movies where the the last half, and the end, are better than the first. Think The Haunting and Burnt Offerings?
Did you ever watch the original The Haunting, Adgy? That's the movie that I would assign, lol, if I was playing in that JD Horror game, but I am not.
Dunno, I have the Changeling, and might have to watch it again, it's just that the first five minutes are so intense, I think I have a point, well, besides the one in my head. mhihi:

Ok, long story short...my first ever Famous Monsters of Filmland mag had an article on this. At the tender age of 8 it frightened the crap out of me. Never saw it...till now. Shatner/Skerrit/Borgnine(COMPLETELY AROUND THE BEND!!!!)/Ida Lupino/Keenan Wynn and a young John Travolta...directed by Robert Fuest(the Dr Phibes flicks)...and, as the splashy credit shows, with Technical Advisor Anton Svandor LeVay. Most times when you see a movie late in life that you have had this weird fascination with, it disappoints. NOT THIS TIME. Brilliantly bad. Almost magical. Borgnine is soooooooooo into his performance as the leader of a pilgrim Satanic Coven. It makes no sense mostly, but who gives a ****, it's bat**** crazy and just so loveably goofy. Oh yeah, Eddie Albert pops in to try to do some heavy lifting by talking the story into shape...no luck. The 'controversial' ending, with all the melting eyeless devotees has to be seen to be believed. The movie is 87 minutes and this scene goes on for 11 of them. Just people moaning and bubbling while weird latex oozes out of their outfits(oh yeah, and their church EXPLODES '70's style). Has a classic 'gotcha' ending too. Sadly, this movie is not really available. The copy I have is a glorified(although nice looking) bootleg. But if you can get yer mitts on a copy, and you have an appreciation for cheese, try it.

The Dolphin wants to watch this!!
JD, have you watched this?
Apparently this issue makes a reference to this.
I have it somewhere and have to re-read it. Ted McKeever is the man!
I am not a religious person, but read a lot of scripture because the Judeo-Christian tradition has inspired so much horror!

Nope. That comic looks interesting. Trades available?

Some of Ted McKeever's stuff is available in trades, but most of his Vertigo stuff isn't. Ebay can be your friend though!
