Aren't there any posts about Phenomena here? We have definitely discussed it, at least the excellent scene toward the end with the impromptu abrupt beheading.

I just wanted to mention something cool about it. The Wikipedia article on it says Argento intended the film to be set in a world in which the Nazis had (perhaps secretly, I think) actually WON WWII. I guess he ended up deciding not to stress that idea too overtly, and instead spent his energy developing the dreamlike atmosphere of t... Continue »

Name an unpopular opinion you have. Or two. Or more.

Star Wars and superheroes are for children. Seriously, if you're over the age of 12, and you care about that shit, I think you're a loser. No offense.

Straight porn is for bisexuals. How can straight men watch that shit? Cocks are so fucking gross, and they turn me right off.

Here's some for the horror fans:
Lucio Fulci was a talentless hack.

Halloween is one of John Carpenter's worst movies.
28 Days Later is one of the worst movi... Continue »

The movie begins with the same song used over and over again in another Elizabeth Banks series. "Jane" by Jefferson Starship. I had to laugh at that. She can't get away from that song. Or she simply doesn't want to.

Overall a fun movie. A step up from the other turkeys I saw recently. I love the popeye/powerup effect the coke has on the bear. That was also a thing in The Wolf of Wall Street and it made me lmao.

Ray Liotta's final role, huh? It's a pretty generic villain role, but he doe... Continue »

The casino is where you gamble your TE moneys in turn-based games. Card games and board games.

Located in the "Junk" dropdown menu.

How does it work?

Some bozo user will create a lobby for some specific game to be played. Users may then join the game, or spectate.

In the lobby where you are viewing the game, you will be allowed to make certain actions depending on the state of the game. The general flow is this:


The seating process, where you... Continue »

I think it's safe to say that the slasher is one of, if not the most beloved of all horror sub genres. More specifically, the 80's slasher. What is basically movies about serial killers slowly picking off a group of people. Usually teenagers and usually for a random, often very personal reason. These movies usually focus on the group above the killer, and mainly the one member of the group that is to survive. One of the most entertaining types of... Continue »

I just heard about this. It sounds pretty interesting. Some sort of a Red Dawn type of deal.

Here, this is the first episode, and you can click to the other episodes on the right.

Disney has officially turned Ant-Man 3 into a Star Wars movie. When I first heard that, I thought Guardians of the Galaxy would obviously be the more suitable candidate for Star Wars rip-off, but nope. This movie is way more Star Wars rip-off than Guardians, for sure. It's full of wacky aliens, dumb robots, weird sci-fi visuals, rebels versus the empire, blasters, and more. The main difference is that instead of dealing with outer space, it deals with inner space.

It also r... Continue »

I'm not a gamer and haven't been for 20 years but I've read and heard from friends that are and it's one of their favorite games of all time even if the sequel shat the bed. So I went into this new HBO series with an open mind even as I said to myself do we really need another zombie apocalypse just after the anti-climatic ending to The Walking Dead? Eh...it wasn't bad, actually surprised me some. I rather liked Pedro Pascal early in his career, thought he was great in GOT as Prince Oberen and e... Continue »

Just once, I'd love to see an awesome, legendary horror film come along and impress us all while making plenty of money for everyone without studio greed and desperation rearing its ugly head. Why can't they ever just say "Great job, guys! Let us know if you have anymore ideas". Nope! Success means that success must be Xeroxed at all costs. And as many times as possible. If it made money, there must be an attempt at repeating the formula to milk... Continue »

The fact that this movie exists is wonderful. It's a big middle finger to Disney, and they deserve it. When you get around to watching the actual movie, you'll find it's a very mixed bag. The concept is a big lolwtf pitch, and the plot is amazing: a bunch of girls go to a secluded house in the woods and some bad stuff happens. We don't need to reinvent the wheel here, so we wont. We know we're watching a slasher movie, and this movie doesn't try to put on any airs. It really is as dumb as it sou... Continue »

OK, I'm not a complete moron (a half moron, yes) so I gather most folks don't like that the scales tip more toward comedy this time around, and that, after the absolute classic the first is, that chances are a sequel was just gonna pale in comparison.

But hear me out (read me out)

I've made it very clear (annoyingly so, I'm sure) that I'm a ROTLD fanatic. I think about that movie or some facet of that movie at least once a week. However, ROTLD 2 means nearly as much to me, b... Continue »

I was just thinking about something from the Douglas Adams book Life, The Universe, And Everything. There's a part about a guy named Prak who was supposed to be some kind of witness in a big legal case. They gave him a truth serum to ensure that he didn't BS them, and they made him swear to tell "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." But, the problem was, someone bumped into the medic administering the truth serum, so he got WAAAYYYYY too big of a dose.

Somehow, the truth... Continue »

That is the stupidest thing I ever heard! Jesus Christ...


I don't know, Scotty. An animal in the basement of a secluded cabin in the woods in the middle of fucking nowhere doesn't sound all that implausible to me.

And then a minute later he's all like "yeah, you're probably right. It's probably just some animal."

What the fuck is this guy's deal?

Wasn't there a thread about this already? Maybe I posted something in the shout box. Anyway, I'm just thinking about this subject. Iron Man 2 has a LOT of stuff drawn from Lethal Weapon 2, especially the ending in the shipyard. Iron Man 3, which I have on right now, has a scene that is like a combination of scenes from Lethal Weapon 1 and 2. It combines the scene where the helicopter attacks Tom Atkins' house, in Lethal Weapon 1, with the scene where Riggs and Murtaugh destor the house on s... Continue »

This is a pretty new clown/slasher movie that came onto netflix recently, and it had a bit of hype to it, so I went for it. It's got a throwback look to it, excessive gore, decent characters, and of course... one hell of a villain.

He's basically just a black and white painted mime, but he looks creepy enough, and has a big nose and bloody teeth, because he eats people's faces and whatnot... wears people's skin and hair... you know, whatever floats his boat. He'll brutally murder someone one... Continue »

Hmmm right, so I figured in honor of the holiday why not show the soft underbelly of VPIR and create a post asking your top 3 chick flicks/romance type of films. Not a fan of the genre but I have been forced/coerced at times by lady friends to watch films of the sort in the past and not only did I end up liking these films, I'm man enough to admit they made me misty in the process. Go ahead, call me super 80s ghey in the replies and list your 3...here's mine.

1) Million Dollar Hotel (2000)
2) A... Continue »

This movie is available on Tubi right now. That's where I saw it.

It's an early-ish Wes Craven movie, and, um.... well, it's complicated. It's hard to know exactly what to say about it.

You can tell from the background music, the way everybody dresses, and their hair, that this movie comes out of the late 70s. It might have laid some of the groundwork for Children of the Corn, but it just has major 70s vibes throughout. One of the main characters, played by babe Maren Jensen, reminds me a... Continue »

I really liked this sci-fi horror. Dark, creepy and surprisingly unpredictable.

Because let's face it, that's the most interesting part about the superbowl to those who don't give a shit about sports, so what have we gotten out of it so far?

Indy 5 looks all right. It looks like Karen Allen is coming back, and Indy is still fighting Nazis. What more do you need? He's still got it.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 looks all right. Trying to take on a dramatic angle with the hint that it'll be a downer ending, which I'm all for. Plus, it was great to hear that Rainbo... Continue »

I have seen thousands of people in movies catch on fire. But you know what I've never seen? One of these flaming motherfuckers stop, drop, and roll! Holy shit! This is basic stuff, people! I remember this information being pounded into my skull practically every day all throughout grade school. If you ever catch on fire, what do you do? STOP, DROP, AND FUCKING ROLL! They said it so much that I believed it was an inevitable part of life that I would one day catch on fire.

And here I am, totally... Continue »

Holy cow. Is this well known? I don't think I had ever heard about this before. That would have been incredibly cool. He was killed when the script was still at an early stage of development. It's mentioned here, just a little above the Filming section.

OK, this is a hard post to classify. I'm gonna post it in the Television forum because I saw a story about it on television. Why not.

I posted something about this once before, either here or on IMDB. It made me sit up and pay attention, partly because of how insane it is, and partly because it has a local connection for me. One of the people in the story grew up in the town next door to where I grew up, and I'm pretty sure we knew some of the same people. So, yikes.

ANYWAY, here's th... Continue »

You know, that spin-off from TCM2 about Chop-Top in prison? It was an on-again/off-again project by Tobe Hooper's son featuring the triumphant return of Bill Moseley, featuring Buckethead as Leatherface, and scoring the movie.

Want to know more about it? Tough luck. Consider yourself as informed as you'll ever get. Info on this is rare, so this doc will give you the most intel you'll ever have about this lost film.
Basically no relevant cast or crew members are willing to be interviewed for thi... Continue »
