Finished off the Nighmare On Elm St movies, then watched Phantom Of The Opera with Robert Englund as The Phantom.

Two very bad horror movies:
Night Train to Terror Lousy special effects, annoying music video scenes (you know what the 1980s were like - and they did the same song again and again), weird mix of several plots, I'm still trying to figure out what the hell was going on. At least there was a funny moment when a guy who looked like a Jimi Hendrix impersonator released an extraordinarily ugly insect from a preservation jar. I think it was supposed to be a giant wasp. It looked as if it had been made out of clay and had light bulbs for eyes. Maniac Now this is probably one of the worst movies ever made. The acting of the cats was better than that of the humans. But nutty scientists are always entertaining, no matter how bad the movie is and it was interesting to see bare boobs in a film from 1934. |

Very good, though I'm not particularly a fan of that typical Oliver Stone moviemaking-style. Anthony Hopkins was brilliant though! |

Thought Fred was a funny nod to Elm St, but never knew it was Wes Craven.

I seem to remember that being a pretty rubbish film. I haven't seen it in years though.

The Ninth Gate is not a fave of mine but for me Johnny Depp would make a film about paint drying interesting ... ... the subject matter did make me curious enough to go to IMDB.com and ask what the heck the film was about... one poster sent me a zip of information i print out and started to read... a bit deep ... but you know what ? ... i'm reminded now... and perhaps i'll delve back into it... ta !

Yeah?
I've mixed feelings on that. Anything past three is overkill, but it was a good series of movies, so fingers crossed. Just hope they don't change the nature of the killers(s) too much like they did with Freddy |

Well apparently Wes Craven is directing and Kevin Williamson is writing the script (same guys as the first 3 movies), so I have hopes this one actually has a point...
watched Hannibal tonight. Hadnt seen this one in ages, actually a lot better than I remembered. Very stylish and gracefully shot, even the infamous brain scene fitted in there in a weird way... |

Well, in my memory it was just disgusting. Think I watched it at 12 or 13 years old, and I would have never expected something like that brain scene. Now being older, and seeing the context, I dont know if it is the best of the series, but it's definitely up there with SOTL.
Only one in the series I thought was bad was Hannibal Rising. Have yet to see Manhunter, the original Red Dragon, starring Brian Cox as Hannibal. |

SOTL is absolutely amazing. I really liked Hannibal while he was in Italy, but it went a bit downhill when he got to USA imho. Stupid killer pigs. Manhunter is for me closer to the spirit of SOTL, Red Dragon is closer to Hannibal, but actually I think both are very good. Hannibal Rising I thought was appalling. A blatant cash in, predictable, with few original ideas, that doesn't cover the bit I find fascinating - who Lecter kills while practising as a psychiatrist, and how he gets caught. Of course - leave that out, you can make another cash in film and book!

Oh, and looking forward to Scream 4. If it's like 1 or 2, should be a cracker. Funny and scary - the perfect horror spoofs. I just hope it doesn't lead to Scary Movie 5. One of them was definitely enough.
