House of 1000 Corpses (2003)
In the words of Tobe Hooper... "One Hell of a Great Horror Movie"!
Since tons of you supposed horror experts keep mentioning how terrible this movie is and how it was a complete rip off of "Texas Chainsaw", (Did anybody see a chainsaw within 50 miles of this movie???) I thought you would like to read a direct quote from the director of Chainsaw, Tobe Hooper.
"At last an honest horror movie that relentlessly delivers the goods! Rob Zombie has created a phantasmic, triple e-ticket ride that takes us on a creepy journey into a Hellishly scary nightmare. Zombie's stylish, dreamlike film is an outrageous, go-for-the-throat thrill that grabs you from the first frame and won't let go."
"One Hell of a great horror movie!"
End quote...
Now my opinion... It was fresh, it was original, it was a ton of fun to watch! It reminded me of the classic exploitation of the 60's and 70's that has long been missing from theaters. The fact that anybody could get a movie made that stars Sid Haig, Bill Moseley, and Karen Black in this day and age is amazing. Maybe it wasn't "Silence of the Lambs", but it was pure fun from start to finish. Now, if we could just get this to play at one of the few drive-ins left in this world... Ahhhhh, Heaven!
Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural (1973)
You need to see this movie!!!
This movie has more atmosphere than any modern vampire flick you've ever seen. I saw this once as a child, and it scared the hell out of me. I finally found a copy about a year ago, and it still had an effect on me. You rarely see this film mentioned in any of the cult / horror film books or reference guides, and I'm baffeled as to why... This is quite possibly the best unknown movie you will ever see. Cheryl Smith gives a great performance as Lila, and Richard Blackburn should be commended. Especially since this was his first film behind the camera. The bus ride scene works very well, and once you meet Lemora, you will never forget her. Do yourself a favor, and track this one down!!!
Help Me... I'm Possessed (1974)
I tried to be as kind as possible...
This is what Manos, The Hands of Fate would have looked like if they had an extra $100 for set construction. Don't get me wrong, I really like bad movies.... But I didn't like this one. This is one of those films that makes you wonder how the cast kept from laughing long enough to get any scenes shot at all...
