High Tension
High Tension
New wave french horror??
By Macabre_FilmNut in HORROR MOVIES 101
"I remember that opening scene in the vehicle and the killer is proceeding to do something with a skull. Now for alll you that have seen Haute Tension, you know what I am talking about? From that point on after he is done and discards the head out the window, the movie proceeds to get better with plot and gore! After seeing that and not being disapointed. I have proceeded to watch most films from France. Since Malefique (2003) there has been a huge sucess in Movies over there. Problem with France is that only movies tthat are allowed on tv , are the only ones really allowed to be filmed over there. So movies like haute tension(High Tension (2003)), Sheitan (2006), Ils(Them (2006)), Calvaire (2004) and my favorite for this year À l'intérieur (2007). If it wasn't for StudioCanal releasing these, we may have never seen them this quick! Also Movies like Gasper Noe's Irreversible (2002) and I Stand Alone (1998) were really well done and not for the faint of heart. ... " [More]

"[quote user="digitalconquest"] It definitely has it's repulsive moments, but I'm not a big fan of SALO. I respect the movie, but it's more of a political and social commentary than actual cinema. Pasolini just isn't my kind of director. [quote user="mercurial"] I can't believe nobody has mentioned Pier Paolo Pasolini. Surprisingly the only Italian director that I own and whose movies I have watched and loved, Pasolini definitely belongs among the list of great Italian horror directors. Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom, remains the only film that has actually made me lose the contents of my stomach (not a lot, just a little in my mouth). The insane nature of the subject matter goes above and beyond pretty much anything I have ever seen. If you haven't seen it, you definitely have to check it out.

 "Watching this uncut version of Ceremonia Sangrienta a.k.a. Bloody Ceremony, with litalian beauty Lucia Bose, is like watching a great piece of gothic history. If you’re into local peasant superstition from the dark ages, then this is a perfect fit. The movie starts out with a local doctor dead and in his coffin, facing the local court. Dead and on trial, he is suspect of being a vampire. Then it takes your through the questioning and then later on Elizabeth Bathory, local countess. It’s interesting in a lot of aspects because this film focuses heavy on vampirism. In a lot of aspects it shows how Bathory, with that first drop of virgin blood starts to descend into madness, believing bathing in virginal blood, is the cue to agelessness and eternal beauty. As the film progresses and Elizabeth’s husband, the local Magistrate, supposedly dies and rises from the dead and the village people start suspecting something. It then takes you through a mock trial of the countes ... " [More]

"[quote user="digitalconquest"] Nick, Fulci, I don't know if I'd call them gory westerns. His were violent, but if someone goes in thinking gorehound dream, they may be disapointed. Of his westerns, I'd personally recommend MASSACRE TIME with Franco Nero and George Hamilton. One of my favorite Gialli is SO SWEET SO DEAD, which plays like a crime film, but is definitely a gialli all the way. As for Italian Crime films, my personal faves are: CONFESSIONS OF A POLICE CAPTAIN, LIVE LIKE A COP DIE LIKE A MAN, THE BOSS, SANGUE DI SBIRRO, MARK THE NARC (plus both sequels), VIOLENT CITY, BLAZING MAGNUM (a good place to start if you are already a gialli fan), BLOOD AND DIAMONDS and THE NEW GODFATHERS. [quote user="Macabre_FilmNut"] Just looked at a preview of "SO SWEET SO DEAD". Actually I believe, I just found another cool site foir movies, besides the point. Movie looks great. I am huge into "Giallos". I seen everything Argento has out and one movie I did enjoy that is not an Argento ... " [More]

"[quote user="Risselada"] Wow, Rizzo. I had never heard of that movie before but it looks pretty freaking cool! I have added it to my list of 'must-see' movies! Thank you very much! Is there any nudity?[/quote] Ooooh, I'm quite interested what you will think of it. Like I said, I'm not sure if I would even classify it as a horror movie. Then again I expect you probably would since you have a pretty broad definition. I simply love the dialogue in this movie. Hopefully you'll be fascinated by the monster as well. There is no nudity, but it does feature Sarah Polly in that bondage looking dress you see in the graphic there. Hartley's actresses also have a very distinctive kind of beauty to them. I do have to disagree with you there. I doubt anything in Cobb's career (or any actor's career ever) can rival his performance in 12 Angry Men. I always think of it as the greatest.

"[quote user="digitalconquest"] Definitely a Fulci fan. I got the opportunity to write up a magazine article on the director and his movies in ULTRA VIOLENT MAGAZINE. Lots of fun researching and revisiting his films. From ROME 2072 to THE BEYOND. Other Italian Faves...BAY OF BLOOD, ZOMBIE HOLOCAUST, NIGHTMARE CITY, SO SWEET SO DEAD, WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO SOLANGE?, TOO BEAUTIFUL TO DIE, DEMONS 1 &2, THE CHURCH, DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE, CRIES AND SHADOWS, DAMNED IN VENICE, THE LAST SHARK, FORMULA FOR A MURDER, TENEBRE, PROFONDO ROSSO, HOUSE OF THE YELLOW CARPET, IN THE EYE OF THE HURRICANE, BLOOD AND BLACK LACE, PANIC, RAIN OF FIRE, WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO OUR DAUGHERS and many more. Also, if you're a fan of Gialli films, I highly recommend Italian Crime films of which I am also a huge fan. Tons of violence, twists and turns and some powerful plots (although slightly off topic).

 "First time russian director Andrey Iskanov, attempt at making a movie. On such a limited budget about $300, he made a film with little dialoge and such great visuals. Watching this man descend into madness and plunge nails into his head, is like waking up in the morning and eating your fruit lopes only to find out later it was laced with PCP. If your into experimental films, things like "Peter Tscherkassky's", Outer Space then check this out! " [More]

Re:Dirty Harry
By Macabre_FilmNut in Serialicious
"[quote user="Dr_Gor"] While Clint Eastwood's "Inspector Harry Callahan" could be classified as a "serial killer" himself (He HAS racked up quite an impressive body count over the course of his films), it is a little known fact that the original Dirty Harry was actually based on the Zodiac Killer case. So now, having established relevence to this group, I just wanted to say that I just heard the news that Eastwood is making a new "Dirty Harry" movie and that the soon-to-be 78 year old (!) actor/director is intending to kill off the beloved character. I think this is a brilliant move by Eastwood that will neatly put an end to the franchise and forever secure his place in cinematic history. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Also, as I recently mentioned elsewhere, I heard the rumor that Sly Stallone is intending to step into the shoes of the late great Charles Bronson and take over the Death Wish franchise. Now HERE was a TRUE "serial Killer" who also happened to be ... " [More]

"[quote user="Dr_Gor"] OH! And I wish to apologize... my 'link a movie thingy' still isn't working... [/quote] That had to be a tripp, sitting in county jail watching 3-D! I can't imagine it. I remember I was out in Eugene Oregon and I saw House of 1000 Corpses (2002) and I was wasted, pretty much 3-D vision. I never realized how the actual visuals were or how the movie plays out until I ended up here and bought it, sat and watched it sober. It didnt make hell alot of sense, but I still enjoyed the flick. I remember Jaws 3 (1983), but I was real young! But back in those days movies stayed in the theaters alot longer! I can remember movies not even showing up in the rentals for like a year or so later. Then VCRS back in those days you had to put a 60 or 70 dollar deposit down to rent one. Also I remember Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991) in 3-D, which I liked alot.
