I didn't know we had a rule that it had to be released in the same month. I therefore need to change my film to TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA. Perhaps this explains my fascination with the idea of hellfire clubs. I don't believe that the alignment of stars has any effect on your personality, but I certainly believe that the release dates of Christopher Lee films does.

I don't like that prices have ballooned up just to gouge the collector's market, some maniac paid a few thousand dollars for a VHS bootleg of Black Devil Doll From Hell recently. As much as I love that movie (I own a VHS copy of it myself, but I only paid 2 bucks for it when my local mom and pop went out of business), there's honestly no reason for someone to be dropping that kind of cash on an old piece of obsolete media, especially if it's been remastered and resold on DVD/Bluray.

e: just looked it up, and it was Chester Turner's other movie, Tales From the Quadead Zone, that sold for a thousand.

Awwww yeah

quote:

Here are the synopses I was able to find for some of the stories.

By the Silvery Waters of Lake Champlain

Little Gail London and her friend Joel Quarrel are out on a cold and lonely morning at the end of summer, when they make the find of the century: a dead plesiosaur, the size of a two-ton truck, washed up on the sand. With the fog swirling about them, they make their plans, fight to defend their discovery, and face for the first time the enormity of mortality itself… all unaware of what else might be out there in the silver water of Lake Champlain.

House of the Head

Young Elvie May witnesses a murder/haunting in the elaborate doll house in her bedroom. She worries greatly for the figurines within. And while the haunting never spills out into her house, never touches her actual family, the macabre drama her toys are involved in will scar her for life.

The Companion

13-year-old Harold decides to explore the long-abandoned farm of the late Raymond Brenner, and finds that he’s got a new Companion: a murderous, indestructible scarecrow.

The Man in the Suitcase

19-year-old Justin brings home the wrong suitcase from the airport, and inside the suitcase is a Man with a terrible problem.

Bad Wolf Down

A group of World War II American soldiers, pinned down by a Nazi unit, resort to unholy and supernatural means to avoid capture, torture and death.

One of the benefits of going back to my dead, hole in the wall hometown over the holidays is that there aren't enough people there to give a poo poo about things like tapes or retro gaming, so I picked up a Halloween III tape for a dollar and a refurb SNES with Tetris Attack for 35 bucks.

Watched Big Legend, and disappointed to say that still no movie has really delivered what I've always wanted from Bigfoot. I guess the budgets are never big enough to do anything but hire a somewhat large man and put him in a suit. It needs a director who can command a decent budget, and yea I'm talking about CG here. Give me a fully CGI Bigfoot but of the quality of the Planet of the Apes films, and make it scary and intimidating as hell.

Anyway, I guess I didn't realistically hope for that from Big Legend and it wasn't bad, just not enough of an upgrade from stuff like Exists and Cold Ground to be noteworthy.

It's not horror but I kind of feel it falls in that category of exploitation homage but I watched The Man Who Killed Hitler and then Bigfoot last night , it stars Sam Elliot. Its got a lot of horror movie and scifi call backs in it. It fits in as a "redone" version of exploitation films of the 1970s where they had these amazing titles but with no delivery. This is the opposite the title is very literal but its more about the story of the man who does this. It's very good.

I think people here will like it , but don't go in expecting a exploitation title. Its more a character study on the man who does these things. It's very well acted, has some fantastic scenes , and has Sam Elliot pontificating on the actions of what it means to be a hero. Its also got a amazing soundtrack that feels like it was made 30 years ago.

It's a slow moving film though. It' not about the actions he took which you do see, but more about how this man in his late life has come to deal with those action and what it ultimately cost him.


It also has a matte painting.
