Title: Night of the Living Dead
Wikipedia |IMDb |Trailer |
Year: 1968
Director: George A. Romero
Writer: John A. Russo [John Russo] (Screenwriter), George A. Romero [George Romero] (Screenwriter)
Rating: 18
Length: 95 Min.
Video: Full Frame 1.33:1
Audio: English: PCM: 2-Channel Stereo
Subtitles:

Stars:
Duane Jones as Ben
Judith O'Dea as Barbra
Karl Hardman as Harry
Marilyn Eastman as Helen
Keith Wayne as Tom
Judith Ridley as Judy

Plot:
In director George Romero's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, seven people secluded in a Pennsylvania farmhouse face relentless attacks by reanimated corpses seeking to eat their flesh. The group, which includes a married couple and their daughter, a pair of young lovers, and an African American man, try to keep their sanity as the living dead try endlessly to enter the house until they are laid to rest by burning or a severe blow to the head. As they listen to news reports of the zombie plague taking over the eastern United States, the ever-decreasing band of survivors loses ground in their battle to both keep peace with one another and stay alive.

Romero's low-budget, homegrown classic went from being unable to find a distributor to becoming one of the most influential horror films of all time. Aside from its visceral impact years before realistic gore became the fashion, the film is also important for its portrayal of a black man as the protagonist during a time when race relations were an extremely sensitive issue in the United States. Romero's choice for the ending of his film also made a shocking and bold statement about the issue.

My Thoughts:

This is one that I enjoy very much. I have watched this film many, MANY times, but... and I may get flamed for this... but I for one prefer the remake to the original. Not because this one is a bad movie... I really do enjoy it a lot... but I just can not stand Barbara's character in this version! What a scared whining.... good for nothing character. I do realize this is just a sign of the times... but I just have such a hard time watching it. Sure I realize Romero says a lot when it comes to race in this movie making Ben such a good and strong character... but the way he did Barbara just takes away from what is otherwise a great movie. I mean even when she is safe in the house and not hysterical... she is still so sicared she can't even get herself to talk to Ben to answer his questions or anything else. It seems like forever before she actually starts to talk to him... and then she does little more then ramble on. With all that being said this is still a great film. Definitely a film every horror fan should see at least once.

My Thoughts:
A horror movie they said.. And even tho there are some moments in the movie, i have to disagree actually. I would say this is more a drama/thriller then a horror movie. But the movie wasnt bad at all. Had some great moments, a cast that plays really well together. A interesting story. But for me i have to say that its a minus that it wasnt a horror (since i watched it for my horror marathon) other than that. I decent flick, with some great extras wich i enjoyed in this blurayset.

My Thoughts:
I remember i watched this back when it first came out and i really enjoyed it then. And havent watched since actually. So i decided to revisit this and the sequal. And i have to admit that the movie was actually better then i remembered it to be. The movie is also based on a true story. A haunted house, nothing new there. But there was some great moments here and there, and the cast with Kyle Gallner in the lead did also a great job. And since its based on a true story (on the blurayset) there is a interview with the real family (the story/movie) is about. And in that interview some really interesting happens. Wich makes it that much better. Really enjoyed it, and its recommanded! Now on to the next one.

Plot:
It’s a new night for terror... and a new dawn in horror movie-making when special-effects genius Tom Savini (creator of the spectacularly gruesome make-up in FRIDAY THE 13TH and CREEPSHOW) brings modern technology to this colorful remake of George A. Romero's 1968 cult classic.

Seven strangers are trapped in an isolated farmhouse while cannibalistic zombies – awakened from death by the return of a radioactive space probe – wage a relentless attack, killing (and eating) everyone in their path. The classic for the 90's: graphic, gruesome and more terrifying than ever!

My Thoughts:

OK... for my tastes... this is much more like it! Yes... in the beginning Barbara is still all scared and crying... but she is also fighting back at the same time and is not depending on someone else to save her! This is the way I want to see Barbara! Not to mention that I am a huge fan of Tony Todd. Between those 2 things... it really feels like this remake was made catered to me. As much as I love the original... and I do love the original!.. I have to say in this case I definitely prefer the remake! How often can someone say that? I also think it is a plus that we have Tom Savani directing this one. He really does a good job showing homage to the original while updating it at the same time. Once again... in my opinion... he made all the right choices to make a wonderful remake from great source material.

My Thoughts:
Well, that was actually alot better then i remember it to be. This "sequel" also based on a true story they said. And me ofc, who really likes the movies based on a true story. This might be based on a true story, but i think they strechted the story a bit, but hey they made it work real nice IMHO. A fairly decent horror follow up with some great scare moments here and there. And this blurayset also delivers some great extras with the 'real and original' family the movie is based on. This is also highly recommanded.

Title: The Bad Seed
IMDb |Wikipedia |Trailer |

Writer: John Lee Mahin (Screenwriter), Maxwell Anderson (Original Material By), William March (Original Material By)
Rating: NR
Length: 129 Min.
Video: Widescreen 1.78:1
Audio: English: DTS-HD Master Audio: Mono, Commentary: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo
Subtitles: English, French, Spanish

Stars:

William Hopper [Mr. Bill Hopper] as Kenneth Penmark
Paul Fix [Mr. Paul Fix] as Richard Bravo
Henry Jones [Mr. Henry Jones] as LeRoy

Plot:
Rhoda (Patty McCormack) is a well-mannered 8-year-old little lady - and an efficient, unfeeling killer. And in this spellbinding chronicle of evil, whatever Rhoda wants, she ruthlessly gets. Her mother Christine (Nancy Kelly), reluctantly made to see her child's moral blindness at work, is heartrendingly torn between mother love and grief for Rhoda's victims. From Maxwell Anderson's stage hit, The Bad Seed ticks like a time bomb under the skilful direction of Mervyn LeRoy, who cast several Broadway production originals, including Kelly (re-creating the role that won her a Tony®), McCormack and Eileen Heckart. Their harrowing performances captured three of this suspenseful movie's four Academy Award® nominations*– and make this thriller one of the great ones.

*1956 Nominations: Best Actress (Kelly), Supporting Actress (Heckart and McCormack) and B&W Cinematography.

My Thoughts:

This one is a very good film. Though it is one that starts off a bit on the slow side... but it don't take long to pull you into the story. It has a good atmosphere and the entire cast does a wonderful job. My one complaint would have to be the way they ended it. I think if they would have cut it off a little earlier (while in the hospital) it would have been much better. But with that being said... this is definitely a classic that is worth watching.

This is one I used to watch with my daughter. And we decided to watch it again tonight for nostalgia. It remains a fun family film. Something to just to sit back and laugh at. Of course this is aimed to the younger children so nothing too creepy or scary here. Just a little Halloween fun for the entire family.

Extras:

My Thoughts:

I haven't watched this one is quite some time. While the movie does have a little bit of a slow start... it definitely makes up for it with a great story. I never been much of a fan of Craig T. Nelson... but I did like JoBeth Williams as the mother. The haunting starts pretty mild... moving things around and such much to the enjoyment and entertainment of the mother. But before you know it things takes a turn for the worse. It has been so long since I watched this one that I forgot how good it is. I enjoyed every minute of watching this one again. If by any chance you have not seen this movie before... I highly recommend it.

My Thoughts:

When I first heard they were making a remake of Poltergeist I was not very hopeful but curious. As the original has always been one of my favorites. I was even less hopeful when I read some bad reviews. But I must say I disagree with those bad reviews. I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I never really cared about the father in the original... but I think he was portrayed much better in this one. And lets face it we have better special effects now then we did back in the early '80s... and I feel they made this version more enjoyable. I also liked that this time we got to see the little girl in the other side and what the little girl had to go through. This doesn't take away from how much I love the original. It just gives me another option for the basic story. In my opinion this is a remake done right... I definitely feel it is worth the time put in to watch it.

Title: White Dog: The Masters of Cinema Series
Year: 1982
Director: Samuel Fuller
Rating: Rated 15 : Strong Language, Violence and Racist Theme
Length: 90 Min.
Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.78:1
Audio: English: PCM: Mono
Subtitles: English

Stars:
Kristy McNichol
Paul Winfield
Burl Ives
Jameson Parker
Lynne Moody
Marshall Thompson

Plot:
One of the most controversial American films of the 1980s, Samuel Fuller's White Dog was originally withheld from release in the USA and has been rarely seen since. This head-on examination of racism remains a riveting and startlingly powerful film experience, with superb performances and a brilliant score by the great Ennio Morricone.

When a young actress (Kristy McNichol) adopts a stray white Alsatian she hit with her car, she soon discovers that the dog has been conditioned to attack any black person on sight. Its only chance lies with Keys (Paul Winfield), an animal trainer focused on breaking the dog's behaviour and finding a way to eradicate its vicious instincts.

An acclaimed and daring late-career highlight for its director, White Dog amply demonstrates Fuller's clear-eyed intelligence, impassioned humanity and filmmaking dynamism. Unavailable in the UK for decades, The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present its premiere in a new Dual Format Blu-ray™ and DVD edition.

Extras:
Scene Access
48-page booklet with an essay by Jonathan Rosenbaum; the words of Samuel Fuller; the director's "interview" with the dog; and rare archival imagery.

My Thoughts:
Woah, i'm not 100% sure if i've seen this before, but i remember some of the scenes. This movie was recommanded to me by a good friend. And the movie didnt disappoint at all. The movie is actually a sad one, with a sad outcome. About a dog who got some real bad owners and because of that the dog wasnt always the nicest. Some great moments here and there, and some very realistic scenes in some places. All in all, a rather good horror flick with some good extras. If you are afraid of dogs, or thinking about getting one.. Dont watch this one!

And I found the entire cast to be great. This is one I would really like to add to my own collection.

Extras:

My Thoughts:

I have loved it since I first saw it when I was just a teen. I absolutely love the supped up wheel chair... The Silver Bullet! I really enjoyed the scene when he first got it... finding out just how fast it went. I believe Stephen King's take on the werewolf legend is just right on the spot. And I liked who the werewolf turned out to be. While it is not what I would call a gory movie... there is a scene or two that shows it's fair share of blood. There was nothing about this movie that was not just plain enjoyable. It is definitely one of my favorite werewolf movies.If by chance you never seen this film it is one I highly recommend!

Under Joel Schumacher's direction, a marvelous cast – Jason Patric, Jami Gertz, Kiefer Sutherland, Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, Barnard Hughes, Edward Herrmann and Dianne Wiest – stakes you to gleefully ghoulish entertainment.

My Thoughts:

I am sure it is partially nostalgia for me... but this is one of my favorite vampire films. It is one I have seen countless times...one that I never tire of. This movie is the first thing I ever seen Kiefer Sutherland in... and I think he did an awesome job in it. I also think Jason Patric did a great job as Michael. and I definitely couldn't help but to enjoy the Old Fart (Grandpa)... I just get such a kick out of him and all the stuffed animals he gave to Sam. Definitely one I would highly recommend to any horror fan... especially vampire fans. Though I do believe most all horror fans probably seen this one by now!

My Thoughts:

Probably my least favorite in the franchise.While it is still entertaining I found the story line to be less interesting what with it mostly taking place in the mortal world. These films are just more entertaining when they are in Halloweentown. That being said... this one is still worth the time put in to watch.... if you enjoyed the previous films in the franchise.
