Personal statement:

                                         I Love the Dead.

 Zombie movies are my all-time favorite type of horor film. There is just something way beyond unsettling about being eaten alive by dead people. Zombies Rock!!!!

I watch movies to be entertained, not for aesthetics or technical merit. If I can escape the hell which is mine for at least an hour or two, then mission accomplished.

 "Man, I was so hoping that the anticipation I had built up waiting for this film to be released on dvd would somehow make me like the film more than I knew I would. "I Am Legend" is one of my all time favorite books, and knowing the general rule that the book is almost always better than the film, I was still hoping this remake would really do the book justice. So much for hoping. I really enjoyed the Vincent Price version of the "Last Man on Earth", and thought that it was fairly close to the book in all regards. Too bad someone thought it would be a great idea to stray so far from the already magnificent book and previous remakes. Some things are just better left alone. The cgi zombies were a huge disappointment as was the ending (I haven't seen the alternate ending). I knew the ending already and it was such a shocker that it made the book so memorable and an instant favorite. So tragic and desperate. Too bad Hollywood got ahold of this story and made it n ...

"My first response is "Lydia" from "Beetlejuice". I tend to be brooding and a bit on the dramatic side. I love black and all things dark and gloomy. I wish I could see ghosts though. " [More]

 "This film was not what I had expected, and I guess I should have read the book first. My eight year old suggested we put this one on our queue after seeing the trailer when it was realeased to dvd. I wish someone would have warned us not to watch this film so close to my "womanly time" and also not until my son was a bit older so he could understand the need for the tragedy in the film. I had to spend the better part of bedtime explaining why things played out as they did so my son could stop crying and get to sleep. I did enjoy the film though I spent the last half sniffling and putting on a brave face for my son. " [More]

 "Okay, I bought into all the hoopla that this film has generated over the years and finally decided to see it in it's original "glory" as it was intended back in the 80's (Netflix states that it came out in 1985). Very interesting on many levels. Brutal to say the least. My first impression was the whole Blair Witch comparison, and then on to the live animal killings. Not really my cup of tea (thankful for fast forward), but I can understand the neccesity of it. The whole documentary feel was okay, but not really great. I did like the film, but not love it simply because it wasn't really a horror film in my opinion. Truely horrorific, but not scary enough in a fictionalized sort of way. Glad I saw it for the experience, but not one I'd care to watch over and over again for the sheer pleasure of it. " [More]

 "I love this film! Hilarious and gorey. Well put together and even a bit unique in it's choice of "zombies". I enjoyed the subtle humor and the story was strong enough to carry the silly premise of crazed, mutant sheep. Very gorey and the effects were nicely done without the help of cgi. I wasn't a fan of mutton before this film, but I love it now! " [More]

 "Wow. I'm really in the minority here, but I loved Hostel part deux. I was so completely let down by the first film that I decided to not expect anything spectacular with this one. I found myself loving the comedic interludes and the cameos were also refreshing. I couldn't wait for that horrendously fugly Heather Matarazzo to get killed. She was difficult to watch because she is so damn peculiar looking! And her character was just too whiny and lame. She begged to be killed! I liked the fact that the previous hero was also in this film and involved in a bit of an unforseeable twist. It was also nice to be a bit surprised by the ending. I expected it to be predictable with the reluctant torturer saving the heroine, but alas, I was wrong. Nice. I actually watched all the extras and enjoyed the tour of the real torture museum. Very informative and interesting to watch. " [More]

 "Okay, maybe it's just me and I'm too expectant of a good film, start to finish. I had a decent feeling about this one. It started a bit slow, but I had faith in Tobe to bring it around. Well, Tobe let me down big time! The story had potential and hey, maybe it was a political comment on society and it's dependence on crude oil, I'm not really sure, but what a waste of an hour. I could have been ironing or vacuuming, or doing something far less painful than watching this dribble! There have been very few of these episodes that were actually worth one's time to view them. I may as well be watching the Scifi Channel's "original films". At least I don't expect much from those films, so therefore I'm not as disappointed by their shortfalls. " [More]

 "I really enjoyed this film. Pretty inventive and I liked the fact that I didn't figure it out in the first 20 minutes. Not very gorey or creepy, but smartly played to the end. I thought the littlest girl was adorable and pretty funny. It was a nice departure from the c-rap I've been watching lately. " [More]

 "Here we go again. "Penny Dreadful" wasn't a complete waste of time and maybe that had something to do with the competent cast. The acting was some of the best coming out of this "Horrorfest" series so far, and I've actually seen almost all of them from 2006's festival. There were some genuinely creepy scenes, but throughout most of the film I just kept thinking, "How smart is it to keep popping downers when you are being tormented by a raw-meat-kabob eating psycho?" What would happen if the heroine actually used some common sense and didn't act like such a ninny? I guess it would be a pretty short film. This was one that I actually enjoyed for the most part.

 "This film was much better than most of the "8 Films to Die For" horrorfest series. The story (save for the lame ending) was pretty good and the thought of getting into a tank of formaldehyde and cadavers gave me a good heebie-jeebie feeling that no other film from this fest has delivered so far. It had some great effects and shock moments, and I heard that they actually used some real dead bodies in this film. You really can't tell which are real or not, but creepy just the same. A pretty good effort overall. " [More]

 "Okay, let me just say that I was a teenager when this movie came out and I was also an avid collector of the trading cards and stickers ( I still have all of them) so it seemed like a natural progression to see the film. I actually enjoyed it back in 1987, and now my very own little spawn has formed an odd penchant for the Garbage Pails himself (he's 8). He has rented the cartoon version (never actually released according to Netflix) and again with the "natural progression", he LOVES this movie. Must be the horrendous fashions and hairstylings of the 80's. He doesn't seem to mind the poor acting or the off-sync voices. He just enjoys being entertained by these gross little versions of Cabbage Patch dolls. I actually enjoyed the jog down memory lane myself. Don't tell anyone. " [More]
