This remake is an absolute disaster.
Avoid it at all costs...

I’m a big fan of U2—really am—but ever since I caught that South Park episode, I can't help but crack up whenever I hear or see Bono...

A guy gets picked up at a red light, ends up stuck in the window—and the driver isn't exactly eager to help him out...
It’s a solid flick, based on a true story too—though the ending feels a bit over the top, I suppose...
Since James Wan directed it, you can definitely expect plenty of gore and violence. 😁

I was expecting some fun, low-budget trash, but even Boll couldn't manage to pull that off...
total waste of time.

I tend to deal with breakouts—even though my hair is a bit thinner on top...

Any recommendations for what to use on my scalp after using a clippers set? Thanks in advance...

Not great 👎

Stephen Dorff ends up behind bars after killing a burglar in his own home—a fantastic prison drama, plus you get Val Kilmer and Harold Perrineau (who, if you ask me, delivers a career-best performance here).

Charles Smith4 said:I only really started diving into Italian horror a few months ago—and I totally agree, they’re incredible!—so Wes Craven is my number one right now since I've seen most of his stuff.
My absolute favorite is 'Suspiria', followed closely by 'Deep Red'.
I'd also mention the solid 'Tenebrae' and 'Phenomena'. 'Inferno' (which follows 'Suspiria' as part of that witch trilogy) was great until that rushed ending... honestly, pretty jarring. Since the 90s, I've only really enjoyed 'Third Mother' and what I think is an underrated gem, 'Trauma'. Everything else is forgettable.

As for John Carpenter, I haven't checked out his work yet. I did see 'Wax Mask', which was co-written by Craven and John, but it didn't really do it for me.

I actually heard about Hitchcock through his son Lambert, who teamed up with Craven for those hilarious 'Demons 1 & 2' films.
From the elder Hitchcock, I've only seen 'Shock' and it was fantastic. Does anyone have recommendations for more good films by Maria Bava?

I should also mention Michele Soavi—he's a bit low-profile, but he directed some really strong pieces like 'Church', 'The Sect', and 'Cemetery Man'. Has anyone here seen any of those?

You've got to check out Carpenter's films... if only for the laughs. 🤣
And from Hitchcock, you definitely need to watch Black Sabbath:

Right, but where did Cannibal Holocaust go?

Carpenter's films lean pretty heavily into trash territory—honestly, he shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as those two. Though, if we're being real, Argento is wildly overrated too.

Hitchcock is a total legend... Black Sabbath is easily one of the best horror flicks I've ever seen, and I'd tell anyone to give it a watch.

Putting Carpenter and Hitchcock in the same sentence is like comparing Hitchcock to Bruce Lee. 😁

You honestly have no idea which one is worse.
Come on—the Universal Soldier action movie is actually the better pick...

Is Armageddon actually leading the way???
Seriously, is everyone okay?
The Rock is the best—and honestly the only good Bay film—though he probably needs to be banned from directing altogether, lol...

If he were actually big in the States, someone would have turned him into a movie ages ago.
But sadly, those Italian comics—you know, the stuff like The Phantom, Dick Tracy, or even those old noir types—only really caught on in Italy and parts of the North America...

Worth a look, I suppose—though I have to wonder why they’d hire that Australian-American auntie Luketica for a project like this.
It really could have been a masterpiece if they’d just brought in a decent director...

It’s actually a decent way to kill some time...
If you've got a DVD or a digital file playing, just hit pause and scroll through the killer's website chat 😁

Anyone seen this yet?

Not great...

Spider-Man 3 is easily the low point of the whole trilogy.
The Transformers movies are actually decent—which is saying something for a Michael Bay flick...
Juno is fine, I guess, but there are at least ten indie films released every year that outshine it...

Chris Richardson47 said:It’s frustrating. It feels like Jack Nicholson is just stuck in a loop—playing the exact same character over and over. He isn't even trying anymore; it’s just... lazy.

That's been his whole career—just one repetitive archetype. Even in The Departed, he's the only one without a Boston accent, just leaning into those signature mannerisms...
The undisputed king of over-acting.
