D, the word is appreciatement.

[D_Davis]

I talk good.

[Spun Lepton]

Yes. Yes, you are.

[MadMan]

I want to watch Demon Knight again. William Saddler rules. As does Billy Zane.

Dead Zone, does it hold up? Yay or nay?

[Skitch]

Yay.

[Spun Lepton]

Dead Zone, does it hold up? Yay or nay?

Re-watched it a couple years ago and I'd go with Yay.

Watched You're Next again last night.

Such a great movie. Some of the cleverest horror writing in years, and survivor girl kicks all kinds of ass. She's a blast to watch.

FYI: 500 theaters across the U.S. will show Jaws on June 21 to celebrate the film's 40th anniversary.

It'll probably be a dvd stream...

I watched Would You Rather on Netflix just for the crazy cast, including Jeffery Combs, John Heard, Robb Wells, and Sasha Grey. Story's pretty much Saw in another package. Rich misanthropist lures a group desperate people to his mansion to hold them hostage and make them play a deadly game where the winner gets a whole shit ton of cash and other prizes. The winner is the one who survives.

Let's see. There's an OK story here if you're able to get past the torture porn-y-ness. Obviously very low budget, the majority of the film takes place in one room. Combs plays the misanthropist and does his best to chew the scenery. Sasha Grey plays a talking plank of wood. There's a whole subplot involving an outsider breaking in and attempting a rescue, only to be gunned down at the first opportunity. The script plays out pretty much how you expect it to, but with an unexpected and nihilistic twist at the end.

5/10

Watching Carpenter's Prince of Darkness last night, I thought how great it would be to have some horror themed boxing matches.

Space Jesus vs Satan in a Jar! Only on Pay Per View!

Can you spoiler the twist? I watched half an hour of the film, and I tapped out around the time the canings started.

[D_Davis]

It was all a bad dream!

[Dead & Messed Up]

Love stopped the villain.

Show Spoiler

Remember that the lead woman is roped into the "game" because she's looking for money and help for her brother who's dying of cancer. Near the end, after most of the cast is killed off and it's down to the lead woman and the handsome male character, she's given the option to set them both free sans her reward, or shoot him dead and claim her reward. She shoots him dead, (which is predictable, given that she started out pretty altruistic). The twist happens in the very last shot, when she comes home with a big bag of money, but it's revelaed that her brother has already committed suicide.

Be prepared to be scared: AMC Networks has begun an invite-only beta test of their horror-centric OTT video service Shudder. The service offers streaming access to full-length ad-free horror movies, and wants to eventually launch on a number of TV streaming devices. Its technology is being powered by and Softbank-owned online video platform Dramafever

Wtf? AMC? Didn't see that coming.

Anyway: $5/mo or $50/yr

[MadMan]

I will try and go see Jaws. You're Next rules. So does The Dead Zone.

[Irish]

Has anyone seen this Joe Dante thing, Burying the Ex? It's looking right on the fence for me, between interesting and awful.

But it's also Dante which has my curiosity piqued.

[Dukefrukem]

I just read about it in my Rue Morgue.

I think it's coming to VOD soon?
