Wrong Turn 5 '12 :thumbsdow (About the only good thing was Doug Bradley's performance. The make up effects were so bad it was distracting. They tried, and failed miserably at recreating the 3 inbred villains from the original.
Not sure why they couldn't just come up with new characters. Especially Saw-Tooth who in the original was played by 7' 5" Garry Robbins where in this it was played by someone who was probably about 6' if that, it just looked ridiculous. )

The Elephant Man (1980) on VHS :thumbsup:

The film depicts the true story of Joseph (aka John) Merrick and Dr. Frederick Treves.

In 19th century London, Merrick was a severely deformed young man earning his living by appearing in a carnival freak show. Dr. Treves of London Hospital hears of "The Elephant Man" and wishes to examine him after seeing him at one of the shows.

Treves gets Merrick out of the freak show and allows him to stay in his own room at the hospital. They eventually develop a close bond as Treves was one of the first to treat Merrick "like a normal person."



* The Academy Award for Best Make-up was a result of this film. At the time there were no Academy Awards given for make-up effects and many were outraged that the film wasn't going to get recognized for its make-up.

The make-up award was officially announced the following year.



Also, 'Silence of the Lambs' director Jonathan Demme says he wanted to cast Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Lector after seeing his performance as Dr. Treves.

Hopkins didn't understand it and told Demme that Treves was a very good man. Demme responded that he saw Dr. Lector "being a good man locked in an insane mind."

On Golden PondI love that movie!!

I think I have the first release on VHS! (CBS/FOX - 1984)

I think I have the first release on VHS! (CBS/FOX - 1984)

Actually, it was Magnetic Video in 1981. It was also on Magnetic Video laserdisc in 1982.

Magnetic Video (1977-1982) is easily the most important home video company, as they were the first. They began by releasing 50 films from Fox in 1977. Without it, Home Video would not be where it is today. May God forever bless Andre Blay for creating it. The company was folded into 20th Century Fox Video, and today, it is known as 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.

Speaking of Magnetic Video, since there are some Horror fans here, I thought I'd mention this: The very first Horror film ever to be released on a home video format (Magnetic Video to be exact) was 1958's Blood of the Vampire. The VHS release was in 1978, under license from Viacom.

Another Thin Man

The VHS I have of On Golden Pond is the ITC release from 1988.

In Broad Daylight (1991) on VHS :thumbsup:

This is a true crime tv-movie that depicts the events surrounding the unsolved murder of small-town Missouri resident Ken McElroy during the early 1980s.

McElroy had a reputation for being the town bully as he was accused of harassment, burglary, cattle rustling..., but was able to escape his various charges. He was finally arrested and charged with the attempted murder of the elderly general store owner after a petty dispute.

McElroy remained free on bond while appealing his conviction as the small-town residents finally had enough of his antics. He was gunned down inside his pick-up truck in front of his wife when they left the local tavern. The murder happened in broad daylight in front of about 50 people and nobody claimed to have seen anything.



* The film is not released on DVD.

I've seen that Doc. before a few weeks ago. Good doc.

In the doc. they mention cable channels like HBO and USA Network that would often showcases these kinds of movies late at night. Torgo, did you ever stay up late to see them on those channels? When USA Network would show them, they would often edit out the explicit stuff, or replace them with alternate footage.

A side-note, I've seen Sorority Babes (one of two movies the three girls starred in, Nightmare Sisters being the other). Also a good film.

The Runner (1999) on VHS :thumbsup:

A young man w/ a gambling problem loses all of his money and his uncle gets him a job working for a gangster to place bets with various bookies.

I watched Commander USA's Groovie Movies on the weekends, and did record horror movies off the movie channels, but by the time Up All Night was on the air I was renting the films. I do remember watching Satan's Cheerleaders which I think aired on Up All Night and the nude scenes were blurred.

I've seen most their films from the 80's and early 90's. Have many on DVD, and VHS. I've always been a big fan of the cheesy 80's horror flicks. I have Sorority Babes, and Nightmare Sisters on DVD. The commentary with the director, and Brinke and Michelle on Nightmare Sisters is entertaining, too bad Linnea wasn't a part of it though.

Film House Fever '86 :thumbsup: (Another 80's clip/trailer compilation. Pretty much the same clips and trailers you see in other compilations, but, what made this one entertaining was Steve Buscemi and Mark Boone Junior. They play two bored friends who decide to go to an all night b-movie marathon. Usually the wraparounds on some of these compilations are bad, like in Mad Ron's Prevues From Hell which has an extremely annoying ventriloquist zombie-dummy.)

An FBI agent goes on a downward spiral after his girlfriend is killed by a serial killer targeting law enforcement officers. He decides to go to an isolated rehab clinic that specializes in treating law enforcement officers.

* The film was completed in 1999, but wasn't released until 2002. Universal sold the distribution rights to DEJ Productions after sitting on it for a few years.

The original title of the film was D-Tox, but DEJ renamed it Eye See You for its limited theatrical release.

It's A Great Life '43 :thumbsup: (13th film in the Blondie franchise. One of the weaker entries, though still enjoyable. It basically copies the plot from the previous Blondie film Blondie In Society. Though instead of Dagwood bringing home a Great Dane, he brings home a horse.)

A crime boss uses an ex-surgeon as his personal doctor to help "fix up" his associates since they cannot go to hospitals.



* The film was completed in 1995, but wasn't released until '97 due to poor reactions from test audiences. The film still flopped despite the edits and changes done to it during that time.


Angelina Jolie says she filmed two sex scenes w/ David Duchovny that wound up being scrapped from the final cut. The footage was never released.


The film was also Duchovny's first starring vehicle since The X-Files.

Don't Go Near The Park '81 :thumbsup: (The thumbs up is not because it's good, but because it's such a hilariously weird mess of a movie. It's part gory cannibal flick, then when Meeno Peluce shows up it becomes a kid's film. Then there's a big show down in the cannibal's cave, and the cannibal's shoot lazers from their eyes.

Barbara Bain appears under the name Barbara Monker. An early role for Linnea Quigley.
The exterior, and interior of the cave was filmed at Bronson Cave aka The Bat Cave.

The DVD commentary with the director and Linnea Quigley is great. The director shares some great stories about Aldo Ray. And Linnea talks about her early experience in film. )

Linnea Quigley is awesome. She's one of the best scream queens, and also a very sweet woman.

I agree, it's one of the more underrated slashers from the 80's.

Definitely! The scene where Anne goes to Kevin's house and discovers that he's been keeping Laura's body in his bed room dressed in the cap and gown always scares me! Its a great tribute to Psycho.

A Christmas Carol (1984)-George C. Scott, Frank Finlay, Angela Pleasence, Edward Woodward.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

^ Many say that that version is the best film adaptation of A Christmas Carol.

I loved Frank Finlay's performance as Marley's Ghost.

^ Many say that that version is the best film adaptation of A Christmas Carol.

I loved Frank Finlay's performance as Marley's Ghost.

I agree that this is the best version. George C Scott is excellent but I am very partial to the musical "Scrooge" (1970) starring Albert Finney. It's funny, sad and heartwarming all rolled into one. And I love the music! Especially the end of the movie singing "Thank you Very Much" It's so happy! :)Love it!:happyface

A terrifying black car - its driver invisible - carries the victims into the heart of the night. Every road sign points to a destination they never reach. The survivors succumb to panic, to madness; deeply buried secrets burst to the surface, and Christmas turns into a living hell. )

Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th '13 :thumbsup: (7 hours long so I didn't watch it in one sitting. They go into great detail about all the films in the franchise including Freddy VS Jason, and the remake, and I liked that they even included the TV series.

Cory Feldman narrates, but there are moments where you could tell he was trying to do a narration voice.
Some of the interviews were carried over from His Name Is Jason, not complaining though, there was still a lot more new material used than old so it wasn't bad.
It would have been cool if they had a separate section for all the out- takes/deleted footage that was shown during the docu.)
