I didn't like the latter at all. Not seen MUTANTS or THE PACK but will look out for them. They sound interesting!<br /><br />Bava's BLACK SUNDAY and BLACK SABBATH are reviewed here if you're curious, Harry. I have reviews done for KILL BABY KILL and BARON BLOOD but never got around to posting them yet.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-45890495634768054442012-03-04T10:07:40.085-08:002012-03-04T10:07:40.085-08:00The Pack is a must-see.

Oh, and the killer from High Tension makes an appearance.<br /><br />Mutants is a cool zombie apocalypse flick.<br />Frontier(s) is a bathsit insane backwoods horror about a batshit insane nazi family.<br />The Horde is a kick-ass zombie/action-movie.<br /><br />I try to do dome Bava this year. I'm ashamed that I still haven't seen classics like Shock or Black Sunday.Maynard Morrisseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00484689288762406307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-42911367561595190502012-03-03T10:10:58.071-08:002012-03-03T10:10:58.071-08:00Oh, you simply must see some Bava at your earliest...Oh, you simply must see some Bava at your earliest convenience, Harry! I prefer his 60s works to his 70s output, personally.<br /><br />I've not seen some of the Euro flicks you mentioned yet, like THE PACK.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-61766104921196191692012-03-03T04:06:58.591-08:002012-03-03T04:06:58.591-08:00The Dracula 3D teasers all look terrible. Seems li...The Dracula 3D teasers all look terrible. Seems like this will be even worse than his latest turd GIALLO. My goodness, what happened to this horror-god?<br /><br />Michele Soavi is undoubtedly one of the greatest horror directors of all time. All 4 of his horror movies are excellent, especially The Church, one of my favorite horror movies of all time.<br /><br />I love me some Tarantino. Apart from Death Proof which just wasn't as great as I expected, I enjoyed all of his movies.<br /><br />Eli Roth is an annoying douchebag :)<br /><br />I admit, I have only seen one Bava movie: the stylish Blood And Black Lace which is just awesome.<br />I really need to check out more of his movies in the future.<br /><br />Seen countless Hammer movies and love most of them. Very excited about The Woman In Black which will arrive in Austria in April<br />- though the last Hammer movie I've seen, The Resident (with Hilary Horseface), was a huuuge suckfest.<br /><br />High Tension, Martyrs and Inside are 3 of the greatest horror movies of all time IMO.<br />Stuff like The Horde, The Pack, Mutants or Frontier(s) are also great but just can#t hold a candle to the above-mentioned uber-masterpieces.Maynard Morrisseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00484689288762406307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-14710437420635623762012-02-27T21:48:49.873-08:002012-02-27T21:48:49.873-08:00@ Erik: Maybe Aja will get back to doing original ...@ Erik: Maybe Aja will get back to doing original works once the remake train has finally left the station indefinitely. I did think his HILLS was dynamite, but would love to see him do something shockingly fresh along the lines of HIGH TENSION.<br /><br />@ Kaijinu: Not really a QT fan. He's yet to do much in the way of an original work. His crime pictures come really close, though. Probably RESERVOIR DOGS is his best work in terms of originality. Lately everything is taken from something else and presented in a juvenile fashion.<br /><br />Aja is one of my favorites of the Euro directors over here now.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-77092584807004486652012-02-19T01:47:03.586-08:002012-02-19T01:47:03.586-08:00Aww, really?

Well, if you feel that way, then I guess there's nothing I can do.<br /><br />On the other hand, glad you think Aja needed more work outside remake territory! Seriously, I want to see what this guy can do!Kaijinuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11481843593274086819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-81772289194544744072012-02-18T04:41:11.153-08:002012-02-18T04:41:11.153-08:00Yeah, I too wish Aja had remained doing his own st...Yeah, I too wish Aja had remained doing his own stuff instead of remakes.

It's seems to a shame to waste talent on remakes, but Aja did knock one out of the park with HILLS and PIRANHA was entertaining as hell.<br /><br />I saw your review for FROZEN. Glad you enjoyed it. My ex girlfriend liked it, and felt the way you did about it, lol. <br /><br />For whatever reason, your blog doesn't show in my blogroll, yet I am following it.

Let's hope that fate does not befall Pascal Laugier as "Martyrs" was the greatest horror film I've seen in a VERY long time. Perhaps Aja or Eli Roth will return once again to making original films - one can only hope.<br /><br />BTW, "Frozen" was not too bad. Thanks for the recommendation.Alex Jowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737798466816750685noreply@blogger.com
