No problem. Glad to be of help. In some countries I've been in, yes, they do ban some movies so I can totally relate. On a somewhat different note, if you like this film, may I also recommend Day of the Woman (better known by its re-release title, I Spit on Your Grave), a controversial rape revenge film. The film was produced in 1978 and received a limited release, with a wider release in 1980. Another film recommendation is Night Train Murders, which is an Italian movie that is very much like the Last House on the Left. It's a dark tale from Italian cult horror director Aldo Lado. Vacationing friends Margaret (Irene Miracle) and Lisa are forced to change trains due to a bomb threat. But their second train is just as dangerous: They get stuck in a section with cold hearted thugs Blacky (Flavio Bucci) and Curly (Gianfranco de Grassi), who begin to terrorize the girls.

The Thing (Dir: Matthijs van Heijningen Jr.) October 14, 2011 Synopsis: At an Antarctica research site, the discovery of an alien craft leads to a confrontation between graduate student Kate Lloyd and scientist Dr. Sander Halvorson. While Dr. Halvorson keeps to his research, Kate partners with Sam Carter, a helicopter pilot, to pursue the alien life form.

Thoughts: A remake in spirit, but prequel by definition exists to tell the story of the poor Norwegian camp that appears in the beginning of John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982) with their guns a-blazing. Early word from screenings and on set visits all point to this film being a crazy mix of gore and violence from the alien life form. This movie has been delayed a few times and was originally slated to come out in the summer of 2010.

I'm glad it's not just a remake but a prequel. The video game The Thing I also liked, it played out as a sequel to Carpenter's movie and you're there to investigate what happened.

Paranormal Activity 3 (Dir: Tod Williams) October 21, 2011 Synopsis: None as of yet

Let me guess...stuff moves around and they video tape it.....am I right? Am I right?

No, they put talcum powder on the floor and they get rabbit footprints.

And then there's Paranormal Entity '09, which was made to cash in on the success of PA, it blends the mockumentary style of PA, and the paranormal rape from The Entity 1982. It's written and directed by Dick Van Dyke's grandson Shane.

hiya red, thanks for the recommendation. i have seen i spit on your grave, my brother has it in his collection. The burning and the howling are two other old horrors that i find intresting, dont know if you have seen them or not

thansk for the advice hun, torgos's recommendations are also worth a look. i have them saved for when i get some free time to have a look

two other oldies that i like are the creeping flesh with christopher lee and peter cushings and also deathsport with david carradine.
i wasnt too sure about the second one but then all horros are good in their own way in my eyes

i have seen An American Werewolf in London, but sadly its not one in my collection as of yet. i think ill have to have a look for that one aswell


p.s. the cats named eddie

well hun here is a description of the film for you to get an idea of what its about

One thousand years from tomorrow after the great Neutron wars, the world is divided into a barbaric collection of city states, surrounded by wastelands where only mutant cannibals and fiercely independent warriors known as Range Guides live. One of these city states, Helix, is planning war on another city state, Tritan, and to prove the superiority of their newest weapon, the "Death Machines" (essentially laser equipped Dirt bikes) they plan a special Death Sport. In the future, the death penalty was replaced by the Death Sport, where criminals battle each other to the bloody death for their freedom. But this time the mad Lord Zirpola (David McLean) is using the "Death Machines" and pitting them against some Range Guides he managed to capture. Foolishly, one of these guides, Kaz Oshay (Carradine), is the son of the greatest Range guide that ever lived. He forges a bond with a female guide Deneer (Jennings) and vows to escape with her to find a child guide who was captured by the mutants before her capture. After being tortured by the sadist Zirpola, and facing off against the killer of his mother, Ankar Moor (Richard Lynch), Oshay and Deneer are forced into the Death Sport (a motocross field mined with explosives). They defeat the riders of the Death Machines easily and escape the city of Helix with two other prisoners, Doctor Karl (William Smithers) and his son Marcus (Will Walker). During the escape, Dr Karl is killed. Eventually they rescue the child from a cave of mutant cannibals, and battle the other Death Machine riders following them (destroying a fuel plant in the process). Finally they are safe, Deneer delivering Marcus to Tritan, while Kaz Oshay faces off with his nemesis Ankar Moor in "honorable" combat, using Whistlers (plastic swords that sound like music). After a bloody battle Kaz decapitates Ankar, becoming the greatest guide alive. The film ends with him and Deneer riding off into the sunset on horses.


its basically an old version of death race with jason statham. it is a good film, not carradine best i dont think but worth a watch all the same.
i did have it on tape but it got damaged and rendered unusable, which was a shame and ended up having to throw it away. alot of the good old horrors i have on tape so i try not to over use them as they are slowly going obsolite.


he might be giving the evil eye, he does have some crazy tendancies lol

im off now for a bit, but i'll catch up later on hun. have an awesome day

Hi! The Burning (1981) is a good slasher film directed by Tony Maylam. If you can get your hands on the DVD they released last 2007, they have the uncut version there.

Tony Maylam made an effective, brutal, slasher film in the wake of "Friday the 13th". Although Bob and Harvey Weinstein claimed the script was written before "Friday the 13th". DVD has an interesting commentary track by director and film journalist, Alan Jones. There's a featurette entitled: "Blood N' Fire" memories with Special Make-Up Effects Artist, Tom Savini. Also included are the Photo Gallery and the original theatrical trailer. "The Burning" went on to have a massive cult following for nearly three decades, and had a bizarre music score by Rick Waveman. There's some memorable special effects gory moments by Savini. Watch for Oscar-Winner: Holly Hunter in a few scenes.

The Howling is a 1977 horror novel by Gary Brandner. It was the inspiration for the 1981 film The Howling, although the plot of the film was only vaguely similar to that of the book. Brandner wrote two sequels to the novel, The Howling II in 1979 (later republished as Return of the Howling) and The Howling III: Echoes in 1985. Neither sequel was used as the basis for any of the subsequent Howling films. The fourth film in the series, Howling IV: The Original Nightmare made in 1988 is the closest adaptation of Brandner's original 1977 Howling novel, though even this differs in parts.

Director Joe Dante's infamous cult horror movie was released just a matter of months before "An American Werewolf in London", and both are generally regarded as being the most memorable werewolf movies ever made.

Some have said that they actually prefer this film to "An American Werewolf", because it's a pure horror film as opposed to a horror-comedy, and thus they rank it as the greatest werewolf movie of all time. There are a few moments of subtle comedy here, but not as obvious as those in John Landis' own film. Also, you could argue that in some ways this is a more intelligent movie, which is really about "the beast in all of us", as Dr. George Waggner states at the beginning. It's a psychological thriller, and a well-structured one at that.

"The Howling" is one of Dante's best movies. It's certainly the one that got him noticed as a director, and just a few years after this he made "Gremlins" and became an even bigger cult horror icon. This is actually an early movie for him, which is impressive as it shows many signs of an experience and confident film-maker at the helm. The sets are fantastic, as is the lighting and the general atmosphere and pacing of the movie. The script is fairly tight and no longer than it needs to be, and the many references to werewolf movie history are subtly slided in to satisfy the film buffs. For example, there's a character named 'Jack Molina' -- a reference the average movie-goer won't get, but any werewolf movie fan is likely to. Various other characters are named similarly, but I'll let you get those yourself.

The acting is for the most part pretty decent. All of the leads handle their roles well, and watch out for John Carradine in a small but memorable performance. I was especially impressed with some of the special effects on show here. The transformation sequence is at least in some ways on the same level as "American Werewolf", and this was released several months earlier. It may have something to do with the fact that Rick Baker briefly worked on this project before moving over to the other, and so some of the same ideas may have been used.

For genre fans, this movie is pure gold.

Oh, don't forget Torgo's recommendations about other movies that are in line with The Last House on the Left. And feel free to share your thoughts about the movies after you watched them. :)

By the way, nice cat.
