I am mostly into horror films, and for that John Fallon is pretty good. I mostly watch movies instead of reading the reviews. I think you need a reviewer that is into the same kind of movies you are into.
I also just got the Mystery Science Theater 3000: 20th anniversary box set from Shout Factory. It includes: First Spaceship on Venus, Laserblast, Werewolf, and Future War. All very good and funny episodes from my favorite TV show.
90/100
Silent Night, Deadly Night. I know its a straight forward B-Movie, but I thought it was great. The movie took time to develop a character instead of throwing one in your lap. Even with the cheesy one-liners (i.e. Naughty! or Punish!) I thought it was a good movie.
I’m a huge fan of horror so here goes my list: Cannibal Holocaust
-Phantasm
-Candyman
-Re-Animator
-The Omen (original)
-Hellraiser
-Humanoids From the Deep < just kidding on that one!
Cannibal Holocaust is a straight grindhouse classic. It’s about a group of documentary film makers who like to stir up trouble to get more controversial footage. The movie was filmed with ultra-realism in the gore. The gore was so realistic the director Ruggero Deodato was arrested for murder.
Hey, Andrew. I know he wasn’t technically arrested for murder. He was arrested as you said, but the actors signed contracts so that they weren’t allowed to be on any sort of film work and basically disappear for one year to give the film the realism that real people were killed. After viewing the film the judge really thought he had the four actors killed on film. No formal murder charge was made, but it was leaning that way. That’s why Deodato had to break the contracts the actors signed and have them come forth and prove they weren’t dead. In the end, Deodato had a suspended sentence of 4 months and a fine of $300 for the whole ordeal.
