Thankyou so much for returning! As for Film Club, I'd like to throw 'ClownHouse' into the ring if I may, not quite as 'hardcore' as some of the previous suggestions, but not a total cheesefest either (though they do make for my favourite of your reviews.)Nik Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14188561553887305065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-15243987496448917142012-08-16T07:15:34.835-04:002012-08-16T07:15:34.835-04:00This is not on Instant Watch, so maybe it's no...This is not on Instant Watch, so maybe it's not a suggestion for Film Club, but have you ever reviewed The Toolbox Murders(1978)?<br />Woo, TCM!Darcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04956586312474552617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-69039895160485080722012-08-15T22:46:12.563-04:002012-08-15T22:46:12.563-04:00Actually, TCM isn't a bad idea.

As is posting in general around here at FG. As a long time reader I'm assuming this has to do with your LA induced horror fatigue diminishing.<br /><br />Hurry up Shocktober 2012!

So they wouldn't pop up amongst the regular posts or something? As to why I chose 1992 as the "publication date" or what the significance may be, I have no idea. Probably random.Stacie Ponderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784074536271206501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-40915914743962017782012-08-14T15:31:50.766-04:002012-08-14T15:31:50.766-04:00What about Mulholland Drive?

He said it was all fake, except for the scenes in morgues and slaughterhouses (he mentions that these particular scenes made his movie actually popular with animal rights activists as images of how your hamburger was made were not commonly available back then). <br /><br />Btw i hate it when movies exploit animals and usually watch versions with these images deleted...(the UK version usually cuts these). So hardcore, not really:)<br /><br />Agreed on the depression inducing qualities of Henry, though it doesnt deter me from revisiting it once in a while. A very powerful movie with a stellar performance by Rooker.<br /><br />Ok, another suggestion:) <br /><br />Santa Sangre by Jodorowsky.

Simon (<i>Pieces</i>) directs this gory adaptation of the infamous Shaun Hutson novel<br /><i>C.H.U.D.</i> - More New York horror, this time featuring mutants in the sewers!<br /><i>The Living Dead Girl</i> - Jean Rollin's bloody yet mournful French zombie filmMichael Groverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415848614028804767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-49411091552251391662012-08-14T11:12:16.383-04:002012-08-14T11:12:16.383-04:00Oh, but I do appreciate the suggestions, make no m...Oh, but I do appreciate the suggestions, make no mistake. :)Stacie Ponderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784074536271206501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-65995895238719357722012-08-14T11:11:50.069-04:002012-08-14T11:11:50.069-04:00To be honest, the more hardcore stuff like that is...To be honest, the more hardcore stuff like that isn't really my bag. Martyrs is kind of the exception to the rule for me.<br /><br />I have seen Nightmare in a Damaged Brain, though, and I reviewed it! I liked it fairly well, if you can call it "like" :D And I've seen Henry, too, a while ago. I can sort of appreciate it, but it's depressing in a way that's not enjoyable/thought-provoking for me, or anything I want to revisit.<br /><br />And Faces of Death, I saw parts of it when I was a teenager...and though I know much of it is fake, I am not AT ALL into snuff-esque horror-as-reality, be it animals or humans.<br /><br />I'm not disparaging anyone who likes any of it- like what you like, for sure. Just saying it's not to my tastes.Stacie Ponderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784074536271206501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-39963013804090992192012-08-14T11:03:56.353-04:002012-08-14T11:03:56.353-04:00some suggestions for part 50: Henry, Portrait of a...some suggestions for part 50: Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer[chilling and depressing on a level never surpassed imo, besides that a masterclass in movie making on a budget], one of the early Mondo's [the original Mondo Cane was released 50 years ago, but may not be the ideal example of the genre] or Faces of Death [part 1, influential, ahead of its time as a precursor of the "reality" genre or better yet, the over the top simulation thereof...] or something really oddball like Last House on Dead End Street, Nightmare in a Damaged Brain or Emmanuelle and the Last Cannibals...[all 3 pretty bad but interesting in a 'wtf were they thinking' way]Phantasmagoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10257705991764629866noreply@blogger.com
