OOOoo, Salem's Lot!I still have a soft spot for Halloween II as far as the sequels go. Although you're probably right in saying that 4 is the superior film.Halloween 4 is an example of that. I hear people slag on it just for being a Halloween sequel, even though, when you watch it, it surpasses all of the other sequels, and on many levels, is right up there with the original.
Yeah, the DVD is weak. It's a shame too because the film deserves better. Not only is it intelligent and thoughtful, but it has one of the scariest scenes ever committed to film. You know the one I'm talking about.Exorcist III has a somewhat soft positive rating of 62% on Rotten Tomatoes, but it fares much better in Amazon reviews. Several of the negative reviews are complaining about the DVD, not the film. (And rightly so.)![]()
Does it involve a white sheet and a pair of clippers by chance?
My favourite scary film of all time is The Haunting (1963 version) followed by, in no particular order...
Night/Curse of the Demon
The Fog (Carpenter version)
Halloween (ditto)
The Thing (ditto)
The Descent
Blair Witch
Salems Lot (ok technically a mini series)
Ringu
I've probably forgot something obvious so I may come back...
Frankly, I'm sick of all these remakes, especially since almost none of them are any improvement over the original.Pretty much all of those Japanese horror movies are better than their American counterparts.
That reminds me that they're remaking Let the Right One In, which is a bad idea. I guess one upside is that it might make people seek out the original. I'm torn, because I believe Hammer Studios is handling the remake, and I really want them to come back in a big way, but I don't want this movie made.
I suppose there's always the chance it'll turn out well. I doubt it, though, since the setting is pretty important to the movie's tone.
Yeah, that's a really good one. I watched it a couple of weeks ago. I hadn't seen it in years and had forgotten how good it was.
A fellow Exorcist III fan. We are few and far between.The Exorcist III
I saw the movie at the theater twice and both times people literally screamed and/or jumped out of their seats during that scene.Can't beat the extreme zoom in with shears poo inducing scene in III.
That's another one I watched earlier in the month. It was even better than I remembered.I might have to put The Haunting on my list.
