This is my list from imdb of all the shit (mostly horror) that I've been meaning to watch for a while now. Thoughts on any of these titles?

Taken straight from my imdb watchlist:

I last watched two horror classics, both of which are unique and interesting takes on the genre

Vampyr (1932) - 10/10

Could be considered a fairly inaccessible film for the modern viewer, but if you sit down and give this movie it's due then it's very haunting and creepy.

Night of The Demon (1957) - 10/10

I love that demon in Night of The Demon, but it's very true that the movie's strength lies on the power of suggestion, belief and superstition. And seeing the demon ap... Continue »

I made it a point to finish the Wishmaster series for this challenge, seeing as how they're both rated low enough to qualify. Not parts 1 and 2 though... those movies are too good, apparently, rated 5 and up. So what's so great about Wishmaster anyway? And how great is it as a franchise?

Wishmaster (1997) - This is what I would call a Fangoria film. You have all these 80s horror icons bundled into a story about supernatural evil,... Continue »

I just recently watched Bad Moon (1996). Despite the inclusion of name actors Mariel Hemingway and Michael Paré, the true star of the film is Thor, the German Shepherd. His undying devotion to protecting his beloved family is what really made me emotionally involved.

Sleepwalkers (1992) had Clovis the cat. Where the human characters were practically useless, Clovis spent the whole movie kicking ass.

I'm sure there are plenty more I could list that aren't immediately coming to mind. Which... Continue »

You want to know how to piss someone off?

Talk politics.

There's a stigma around the subject for a reason. Differing opinions lead to hostile reactions, and people get heated over the dumbest shit.

Is Trash Epics the place to talk politics? Hmm... probably not, because ideologies clash, and we really only want to talk about movies here, but it doesn't change the fact that stupid shit is happening in the world every day, and a lot of these things are becoming increasingly harder to ignore. So, sorry if my drunken rants offend your delicate fucking sensibilities, but I'm not going to apologize for having an opinion. Continue »

Just finished watching Get Out (2017). I did not like this movie at all. I felt it spent the entire runtime making the statement that all white people are racist. Wasn’t even subtle about it.

I am looking for some good artsy-fartsy vampire films, please. I'm looking to broaden my horizons a bit and explore some other vampire films, vampire films which aren't particularly concerned with action scenes or plot twists. Mostly looking for character studies, I guess. Here are some that I have seen that would fall into that category:

The Addiction (1995)
Martin (1977)
Nadja (1994)
The Hunger (1983)
The Wisdom of Crocodiles (1998)
Habit (1995)
Ganja & Hess (1973)


Movies like... Continue »

An easy way to catch up on this turkey challenge is to turn to our trusted Troma Entertainment. I'd forgotten until now that they have a huge selection of shitty full-length movies on youtube.

Any recommendations from this list? I just watched Nightmare Weekend and Buttcrack. Trying to shoot for some of the... Continue »

I started watching Batman vs. Superman last night, and it was so bad, I turned it off barely 10 minutes in. Then I got to thinking how much I fucking HATE Zack Snyder.

Fuck that guy!

Troma has done a nice job at living off the reputation it got from putting out movies like The Toxic Avenger, Redneck Zombies and Cannibal The Musical. Although, there are quite a few more great ones and definitely quite a few good ones, too, but considering how few and far between the good/great ones are in a sea of garbage, I'm not so sure Troma is qute as deserving of whatever reputation it may have left. Because, really, wh... Continue »

I always thought he was a creepy guy.... Guess I know why now.

https://people.com/movies/kevin-spacey-accused-of-sexual-misconduct-by-eight-house-of-cards-employees-report/

By the looks of it, his career is now over. He's even being killed off from his House of Cards show.

Corey Feldman has been trying to warn people for years about pedophiles in Hollywood. They keep trying to shut him up. I wonder if Kevin... Continue »

Truth be told - I really hadn't seen many of his movies prior to the October Challenge, except for a couple. I really do like his movies - the thick atmosphere that is present in many of his movies. I only really have skimmed the surface of his filmography. I enjoyed all of his movies that I seen - none disappointed (I didn't rate anything less than a six)

My favorite in order:

Baron Blood (1972)
Schock (1977)
Kill, Baby... Kill! (1966)
Planet of the Vampires (1965)
Lisa and the Devil... Continue »

Any fans of this? It sounds really interesting, I'm gonna try to watch it this weekend. It's set in an alternate reality 1940's Los Angeles, where magic is real, and it sounds like it has a lot of humor. I have heard of it, of course, but I don't think it has ever really clicked in my brain, what the movie is. Any fans here??

Just for the fun of it. What are your Top 5 Zombie Movies?

Here is mine:

I Zombie: The Chronicles of Pain (1998)
Messiah of Evil (1973)
Flight of the Living Dead (2007)
Day of the Dead (1985)
City of the Living Dead (1980)

If you had to make a Top 5: what would make it?

I think it's usually fun to watch. A lot of that fun is thanks to Michael Gross' character, Burt Gummer. Burt's a man obsessed with weapons and survival. He started out as a side character in the original 1990 movie and was the main character by the third movie. Gross is the only actor to have appeared in every entry to the franchise.

Like many I'm sure, I thought the franchise was finished after 2004's Tremors 4:... Continue »

In Green Room, they discussed who they'd listen to forever if they were stuck on a desert island. Some of our protagonists picked punk stuff, but good old Anton Yelchin picked one that'll I'll agree with, 100%. I'm talking about Creedence Clearwater Revival. They have so many hits, and I never get bored with them.

What artists do you never tire of? I've been listening to The Rolling Stones, Creedence, Alice Cooper, Led Zeppelin, and so many other of the same bands I listened to... Continue »

Just one for me this week - Slaughter High (Blu-ray)

Now, Vampires is just something I cannot get tired of. Even today, after the most recent wave with the Twilight series, and the True Blood for us grown ups. I could still go for some sweet, Vampire action. However, the days of beautiful, atmospheric, and creepy Vampire epics are long gone. Movies like Vampyres (1974), and just about every Jean Rollin film of the 70's. That's what it's all about. Not necessarily lezbo-Vamps,... Continue »

We can all agree that the Jason costume and make up in this movie is probably the best or amongst the best in the series.

The final fight between Jason and Tina is fantastic. Whilst Kane Hodder's presence as Jason is also great.

The thing is, everything before Jason and Tina fighting is really bad, when I rewatch the movie I feel like i'm watching a true dud of the series. Apart from one or two kills like the sleeping bag or the nudey girl in the lake that copies the opening of Jaws, it's... Continue »

I have to work a lot this week, because Thor: Ragnarok is out. Like most Marvel movies, I'm sure it'll be plenty of fun, but I don't see why I have to come in early just so people can see this movie at 8-something in the morning.

I blame Disney! Yeah, they're pulling the strings these days! The same shit is going to be worse when Star Wars comes out. People will be camping out to see that one, because they're super nerds.

I honestly don't care enough for Star Wars to see it immediat... Continue »

I can't be the only one here who has been bugged by this, over the years.

I have always been struck by how Haddonfield changes back and forth between being a suburb and a rural community. Does anybody here have any cool thoughts on this? Like, in the first movie, the town is definitely a suburb. The sheriff even says "Do you know what Haddonfield is, doc? Families, children, lined up in rows up and down these streets." That, my friends, is a suburb. Jamie Lee, especially, comes across a... Continue »

Gareth Tunley's directorial debut, The Ghoul, is slow burning dark psychological thriller examining depression and mental illness. And occult black magic. And a detective hunting down a killer. Or maybe it's none of these things, having just seen the movie I'm not entirely sure.

A homicide detective (a fantastic turn by Tom Meten) goes undercover as a psychiatrist's patient to track a potential killer. Then, v... Continue »

It's pretty clear the series hit a stride with Parts 3 and 4, then 6 and 7. These feel like the films that set up and use the Jason archetype that the series is best known for.

So why is part 5 generally considered an odd one out in that run?

Is it merely the Jason copycat angle?

Personally I find it up to par with the other Friday sequels in that era, I may even prefer it to Part 4 and 7.

Ethel's son on the motorbike, what was going on in that scene? Freakin' hilarious.

Watching this movie again, it's all kinds of awesome. The acting, plot, and effects are just awful. They're always trying to homage great, classic old movies, yet the movie itself is atrocious. You can tell that everyone involved in this movie has a screw or two loose.

Gotta love it! Do you think the director honestly tried to make a legit film, or is he bullshitting with us? Tommy Wiseau with "The Room" is a similar situation. Was he for real, and did he put he best effort into that movie? D... Continue »

I'm watching some of Existenz this morning. I hope I don't sit here long enough to watch the whole thing, it would be better to go out and do something in the physical world. But, just to mention this... I have always been struck by how much Existenz (and some other Cronenberg films) feels/feel like a play. Not completely, but often, and certainly much more than many other movies.

The Ashley Judd/Michael Shannon movie Bug reminds me of a play at times, too.

I know I have thought this... Continue »
