Fulci is more my personal favorite out of the main trio of famous Italian horror directors since I love gore and zombies these days. Bava and Argento are pretty awesome-I think it was Buffosaurus or Raiders who got me into Bava. Or someone else from the Axis.

One Cut of the Dead is freaking wonderful stuff and everyone should see it.
Nevermind I figured it out.
UNLOCKED!

This horror thread seems to be working fine.
Disregard.
Watched the original Pet Sematary for the first time last night.
It's pretty awful.
Sad that Gwynne is a supporting character, but carries the whole movie on his back.
Also sad that a horror film about things coming back from the dead gets its only decent scare from a flashback to a sick girl.

I hate that movie. It just pisses me off.
Oh man you guys bum me out.
I have a huge soft spot for that movie because of Fred Gwynne.
I remember the trailer on TV so fucking clearly. Somebody says to him, "Anyone ever bury a person out there?" and Gwynne responds, "No! But who ever would?"
There was something so over the top and perfect about his delivery that as a kid I'd occasionally and for no reason say that line out loud doing my best impression of him.
It's entirely possible I still do this as an adult, but I'd probably never admit it.
Gwynne does carry the movie, though, so I can see why you'd remember that fondly.
There's one part where Gwynne invites the dad to have a beer with him on his porch.
I told Jen my review of the movie should have just been "I'd totally have a beer with Fred Gwynne on his porch."
Fred is great. I hate the whole idea of the movie. And as a parent now, with boys that age, and surrounded by roads on all four sides of my house, I cannot deal with that movie anymore.
^ 3 minutes of pure, uncut Gwynne
eta: includes beer on the porch!
That part is fantastic. And yes Gwynne is great in Pet Sematary. I love the book although both it and the movies overuse the dead invalid sister for scares way too much.
Not exactly film, but relevant.

Saw Dawn of the Dead from 2004 and man that's a great movie!
Yes it is. That's how you do a remake.

And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
And sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well, I guess this is growing up
Overlord was pretty darn good.
Man, that opening is intense.

Paging Duke, Scar, Skitch & possibly Meg: Thai horror. 2 people. 1 empty pool. 1 beast. (and he's not CGI.)
So glad I saw it in theaters. One hell of a thrill ride.

THIS. LOOKS. AWESOME.
That looks pretty freaking cool.
I don’t think I’ve watched a Thai horror since Shutter.
Firing up the Pool right now.
