I haven't seen an awful lot of Jean Rollin but I do really enjoy the almost dreamlike quality to his movies. I only have seen The Grapes of Death (1978) and The Iron Rose (1973). I rated those both an eight.

I want to watch more of his movies.

This is a list of what I think may be his best movies to watch:

Two Orphan Vampires (1997)
The Living Dead Girl (1982)
A Virgin Among the Living Dead (1973)
The Night of the Hunted (1980)
Fascination (1979)
Lips of Blood (1975)
Requiem for... Continue »

Watched this last night for the first time in years. I didn't remember much about it other than the fact that it takes place during Christmastime - despite being the most un-Christmassy Christmas movie ever - and that it's completely and totally bonkers.

For those who don't know what it's about, I'll try and summarize: a brother and sister, along with brother's new girlfriend, are in town to spend the holidays with their mom and mom's boyfriend. Mom's boyfriend is "a good old boy" who wants... Continue »

Okay, this is a really good movie. A serial killer who makes his victims into art recounts several of his killings. It's all shown in very classy and sophisticated way, and Matt Dillion gives an awesome performance. In the last half hour, things take a very strange and unexpected turn, becoming much more of an arthouse film.

But I think I may have been duped, and actually ended up with the R-rated version. If it was truly the director's cut that I watched, it's not anywhere near as brutal as... Continue »

I've always been an avid reader. I don't recall many times in my life where I didn't have a book in my hand. Back in high school, I recall the public library in my town was having a book sale. I noticed The Exorcist novel right away. I had already seen the movie. My dad was and still is a Sunday school teacher, so I had to sneak and rent the movie. The movie really freaked me out and still doe... Continue »

Yup... that's another one for the fire. The older you get, the more people you like are dying off. Sondra Locke was known mostly for her roles in a handful of Clint Eastwood movies, whom she was romantically involved with at the time. Granted, the two broke up and have been somewhat hostile with ever since. Not sure of the details, but I will say that I enjoyed her roles in those movies that I've seen. I love Every Which Way but Loose and Any Which Way You Can, but she was also in... Continue »

Long-time Turkey Challenge participants my remember I would write a Notes from the Turkeyground every year in early December. The point was the reminisce over the whole experience of the previous month. It was just a month ago, how much reminiscing could one do? If you’re asking that question, you haven’t been turkeying right! The Turkey Challenge is a time-bending ordeal, a gauntlet of cinematic atrocities, out of which you emerge… pretty much the same, except you’ve seen a lot more shi... Continue »

Of the 225 draft picks, there were 35 I had not seen. Now there are only two, both from Zed. I have not been able to find Heavy Metal Massacre or Reflections anywhere to stream or download.

13. The Head (1959)
15. The Conjuring 2 (2016)

I have to admit, it is often hard for me to get into pre-Exorcist horror movies. The Head is not one of the exceptions. It was kind of rough going for me.
The Conjuring 2 is a movie I never thought I was going to watch, considering my thoughts... Continue »

This is for anyone who wants to keep a log of their viewings/ratings every month please feel free to add yours!

What's everyone's thoughts on John Rambo, and the Sylvester Stallone series based on a novel character who originally wasn't supposed to survive the first movie? I hardly think that's a spoiler, considering we're getting Rambo V, tentatively subtitled "Last Blood" as an homage to the original title, which in nowhere had the word "Rambo" in it. Hell, the whole series has a funny way of naming things:


First Blood (1982) - They drew first blood. Okay.

Liverleaf (2018) (Japanese Horror)

This is about a relatively small group of students in a school that will be closed after they graduate in a few months. There is rampant bullying on premises. As a viewer, you just know something bad is going to happen . . . and it does. After that pivotal event, there are violent repercussions. This film has certain similarities to Japanese exploitation films from the 1990s, but it distinguishes itself by playing with its tone. This creates acts of vi... Continue »

I thought about making this thread a sticky , but I don't know..and thought about limiting it to Horror, but that would exclude some great trashy exploitation B and Z grade gems. I'll start off with two of my favorites.

The Video Dead (1987)

Everyone knows the best type of bad movie is a weird one, right? Well, it is. Every decade has that really, really weird one that stands out and refuses to leave your brain, even if you'd prefer it had never entered to begin with. More recently, the new millennium has given us the gift that quite literally keeps on giving. That's right, The Room. However, most recently, as of 2016, The Room finally has to move on over for the new weird kid in town.... Continue »

Onyx informs me that she hasn't got a challenge lined up for this December, and whilst it also used to be the month for some extreme horror viewing, I thought it might be a good idea to try something different this time (and subsequently host my first challenge). The idea came from Troma's "disliking" of watching movies with subtitles. What could be more of a challenge for someone like Troma than a month of.. viewing movies with subtitles - you could say that, it's the ULTIMATE challenge... Continue »

First off, there was the Netflix original "The Package" (2018), from the Workaholics team. It's about a camping trip gone horribly and hilarious wrong when some dumbass cuts off his own dick, and then his friends go on a misadventure to get it back to him. It's one mishap after the other, and things are looking really bad for our dickless chump. It's pretty amusing.

Then, I watched the Groundhogs Day of dick movies. "Premature" (2014) is about a teen who is forced to relive the same day every... Continue »

There's a 1987 Wil Wheaton movie on... some cable network, this month. It's not a good movie, it's only worth your time if you're REALLY hardcore about seeing every adaptation of any H.P. Lovecraft story. The movie is called The Curse, and it also has John Schneider, and some less famous actors. It's interesting to see Wil Wheaton as he looked just shortly after Stand By Me, I guess. It's also sort of interesting because it was directed by David Keith. (NOT Keith David from They Live, The T... Continue »

kind of in the mood to shop myself into fucked up scenes from movies, anyone have any suggestions?

Right cunts, this is the OFFICIAL 2018 Trash Epics Horror Draft. This is where you post your picks. This ISN'T where you ask silly questions about how the draft works.

Johan Wanking on Whitemen or whatever his fucking name is is now on the clock and has 24 hours to select a horror film. It goes down in ascending order until we reach Jim who posts 2 films and...

You guys, I just wanted to post about Kelly's amazing moment in Season One, Episode Six, (called Killer of Killers). Yeah, I have a crush on her, just deal with it.

She has a scene where she rams a Deadite's head face first into a deli meat slicing machine, and forces it through the slicer over and over and over and over, while shouting "Thin sliced! Just how I like it!" It's at about 22:10 in the episode, on On Demand.
