apparently it did poorly in the box office... sadly i doubt it will ever get a sequel
Here is Subspecies #1 "The Awakenning" (along with it's progeny of sequels). IMO, Subspecies #1 is a horror classic that I would consider to be one of the materpieces of the vampire film genre...As in most vampire movies, there is nothing particularly original about the plot , however, it is simple and well-told without alot of gaping holes in the story-line.
Further, The cinematography is outstanding !...The scenery and architecture are wonderful, and give the movie an "Old World" feel, which I find to be particularly appealing.
Finally, Anders Hove gives an excellent performance as the evil vampire Radu, and shows what a truly great actor can do without the use of excessive stunts and special effects.
* Also notice the cameo performance of the great Angus Scrimm (of the classic "Phantasm" franchise) as King Vladislav *
Enjoy !

A few of the rarities I enjoyed have been Shatter Dead, though it is very arty so a lot of people may not like it. But honestly it is about the only zombie movie I've seen that does not feel like the same old same old. And I love zombie movies. Hell my favorite movie of all time is Night of the Living Dead. No movie has even come close.
Though it calls itself a zombie movie it is not in any way. I suggest Pontypool. But if you have not seen it, don't look anything up about it. Knowing anything before going in will hurt the experience.

wow, i havent seen the original since 93 i think... itll be nice to rewatch and see what its like now
and angus is awesome. when the x files movie came out, there was a rumor that he turned down the role of dr. kurtzweil so he could do another phantasm sequel... this was before the popularity of the internet...
i havent seen shatter dead. any time the movie gets brought up at a get together, an argument usually breaks out... it seems either the people that saw it either love it or hate it.
ive heard it compared to "night of the demons" as far as its sexual tones though
and i got about 35 min into pontypool the other night, i should be finishing it probably tonight. im not sure what to make of it just yet
whoops, sorry about that... :uohs:
as far as house of the devil, i enjoyed it. within the first 5 minutes i knew exactly what type of movie i was watching. the director did a good job to give it a "retro" feel...
i wont say too much, but if you like the suspense/thriller type movies of the late 70s and early 80s, youll like it.
House of the Devil is amazing!! I LOVE that movie!! the last 20 min are fuckin killer!!!!
Just saw a trailer for a new film "The Pact" that looks interesting but nothing on wikipedia about it.
heres a "review"... not much, but aside from imdb its all i found.
sounds worth a watch though
I watched the trailer forThe Possession tonight. Looks pretty bad

House of the Devil is downloading too slow, so I am gonna watch The Devil Inside instead, even though I haven't heard great things.

^yeah, "the possession" and "the devil inside" werent my cup of tea...
ill wait for you to see house of the devil for your opinion, but even considering its shortcomings its still my favorite of the 3

The Devil Inside wasn't that bad. But I didn't really take it as a horror movie. It actually felt like a documentary, as it's filmed in mockumentary style. So I think they accomplished what they wanted. I think it got a lot of unnecessary hate (because of the ending I won't reveal). Not great by any means, but not horrible either. 5 out of 10 maybe...I wouldn't watch it again, but not disappointed I did either.
That is common with Shatter Dead. It is very strange and you either like that or you hate it (It's kinda like Tool Videos. You either think they are brilliant or you think they are pretentious trash. Virtually no in between) It does have a lot of sexual overtones. There is a scene where our Heroine actually has sex with a gun.
Pontypool I really like because it knows how to build the action. It starts slow and picks up slowly and surely. A rare movie that knows how to pace.
Just got finished watching "The Perfect Host" earlier today. It was not as good as I hoped it was, and went into that same trap so many "suspense" movies go down. I wish this place had spoiler tags I could find so I could hide it if anyone did not want to know. But it is revealed about half way so it isn't much of one. Still I like David Hyde Peirce and I just wish everything else about the movie was better.
I am watching a movie right now called "Bubble" that was suggested by a friend. And let me tell you, it is not very good so far. It is suppose to be a suspense thriller, but the fact the dialogue was almost all improved shows, and sadly these people seem to be on auto-pilot for this movie. So far nothing has happened. I mean nothing at all. We don't even really know a lot about these characters. They are hoping the minimalist score drive this movie. It does not. Hopfully it picks up soon. but half way though I don't see it happening.
