What Films Have You Seen Recently?

[Rik]

Watched Texas Chainsaw again today, I couldn't give a rats arse what everyone else thinks, I like it and thoroughly enjoyed watching it and the half dozen featurettes too, especially the one where they showed how they'd recreated the family home from Hoopers original, even making the front door look all Leatherfaced like it does at the original's climax!
It sits nicely in my collection alongside the much hated NOES remake :tongue:

Occasionally a films title really does sum it up. Suck, well, sucks.


Recommended only to Alice and Iggy completists.

Here's what I had to say about it, but before you look a word of warning... it's not worth it!:

I've always admired your candour and, to tell you the truth, I'll often agree with you. So I asked my daughter to read your post and she nodded sagely and said "that's almost what I said when I saw it!" So you're in good company and I will trust you and my little girl and pick it up when I see it cheap enough!

Not just me then!
I'm not so much a fan of the films, more a fan of Leatherface, I'd gladly watch that character in anything
I picked it up from CEX for £8, but I think you can get it for a fiver from Blockbuster

Goatman murders

If I reach old age, I fully expect to order a 50 film set off Amazon to wile away those cold winter nights and find this on it. I'd describe it as 'cheap as shit' but then my pal Jim the farmer would point out manure goes for a few bob these days. I'm sure fertilizing a field would cost a few quid more than the budget to this...

A bunch of assholes head into the woods to drink, smoke pot and screw. The budget of the damn film couldn't stretch to a country retreat, or even a shed for poor old Goatman so the plan seems to be just wandering aimlessly around the woods in a marijuana haze. I've done this, it isn't fun, you get real hungry and contemplate eating bark.

But enough about my mis-spent youth. What our bro's and byatches don't realise is the 'infamou' goatman is also wandering the woods. He don't like the chronic though so instead he gets his rocks off murdering as many people as he can find. Fortunately for him, these woods are almost as populated as 'dont go in the woods' (of which this film is of comparable quality) and there is plenty of fodder for the Goatman. Unfortunately the cool looking costume/monster prosthetic was unaffordable (seriously, even reveng of billy the kid could afford that!) so its just a bloke in a mask.


Theres a whole bunch of random junk in the film including a random shot of ginger prosthetic willy which is now famous on these forums. I had hoped for a night of the demon style dick-rip but I guess the director couldent be arsed and thought the old arrow through the skull was more creative. It isn't

I enjoyed this film in spite of myself. It has an 'unhinged meets just a small dose of anthropophagus' quality that I enjoyed. Its basically mean-spirited trashy nonsense with excessive gore. The 4:3 ratio gave it a vhs feel as well. Not bad for less than a quid.

I truly wish that I'd paid less than a quid for it!

We Bought A Zoo

What did you think of this MB?

I saw it at Christmas and rather enjoyed it. Sure it was a little schmaltzy in places but on the whole i thought it was good.

[Paul@TheOverlook]

I thought it was good too. The zoo where the original story unfolded is about half an hour from me here in Devon. The "Matt Damon" character, Benjamin Mee, is there most Sundays and is a nice guy.
