You liked The Truth About Demons? I thought it stunk a bit.
Well a lot actually. Some semi-promising scenes and that was
about it.

(Now Watching: City of the Living Dead -- Woman puking her
intestines, Man having his head ripped open and brains
clawed out...LUVVERLY!!)

I liked it a lot, very memorable demon/bad guys in the
tradition of the cenobytes from HellRaiser unlike the genric
cannon fodder cgi monstrosities so many of the new horrors
seem to be populated with e.g. Resident Evil, Dracula 2000.
The atmosphere is fantastic suitably dirty and grimy. The
premise very convincing (a skeptic running around debunking
supernatural occurances until it catches up with him big
time. You do have to realise it was a very small
independantly made movie and they still made it look like a
million bucks.

Yeah I do give it credit for being a small-time film. Didn't
click with me though : / Been a few months since I watched
it, so I can't be more specific I'm afraid... maybe the UK
had a differen't version?

And I'm being a bit patriotic ;) but really I am a huge
horror fan but of all of the new horrors in the past few
years this one sticks in my head the most and by horror I
mean true genre monster horror and not thrillers like say
Audition etc

True it was a lot better than most of the lowbudget crap
coming from Stateside., which is still mainly slasher-based
(Camp Blood II, The Dummy et al)...

...I'm still waiting for a horror that's 90 minutes of total
mindfuck and gore -- I've seen a few films coming close, but
never one that reaches that perfection :) Feel free to hit
me a title if you know of one that fits the bill.

stranger calls, now i would recommend this movie to
everyone

Halloween VI is pretty good actually... As are the first two
of course. I saw Jason X at the movies the other week...
Some nice killings but it was pretty silly if you've seen
the other Friday the 13th films... Jason in SPACE?? hmm...
almost as odd as when hellraiser went in space. . . must be
a trend amongst the older horror franchises.

Thx, I'll keep my eyes peeled for it :)

Remember, in Horror Franchises, it doesn't matter how many
times the antihero is killed, he always returns...

Maybe they learnt that from those 70s Dracula films, where
Dracula always returns for the next flick...

Good call!

The Host (Korean monster flick) is the best
horror/comedy/action film ive seen in a while. Reminded me
of Jaws in a way...

I'm after recommendations as well actually!

Oh yeah, I've read a bit about The Host -- on my list of
flicks to check out :]

I just rented Galaxy of Terror, a Roger Corman production
from 1981 with Joannie from Happy Days in it. I started
watching it but got distracted -- looked like a big slice of
fuckin' cheese tho!

Galaxy of Terror is fucking wicked. I did a BIYC ep named
after it! I get most of my 'shit film' recommendations from
a book called Slimetime: A Guide To Sleazy Mindless Movies
by Steven Puchalski. Hundreds of pages of honest reviews (in
ragards to whether films are Good Shit or Shit Shit)
covering all sorts of genres. Well worth the money!

Can you send me your copy of the book please?

hahahaha not a chance :) Maybe I could scan it in for you if
you're really nice to me! The author reviews films on
Rotten Tomatoes once in a while (see here) but he
doesnt seem to cover a lot of the stuff he does in the book
(I havent checked the link properly yet).

sorry sir, right away sir (your avatar gives you an air of
sexy badassness, you'll kick my arse, but for a good
reason).
