Yeah, I'm not a fan of Shocker either.

It is one I want to re-appraise though as my mind is a little fuzzy, however I'm in no hurry to do so. I think the biggest draw for me when watching it was seeing Skinner from The X-Files playing a bad-ass.

Craven's worst film for me is probably Red Eye. Dire from start to finish - dull, predictable, with a terrible script and awful performances (especially from the usually reliable Cillian Murphy).

As for his writing, Freddy's Dead and the US remake of Pulse are certainly among his worst, at least for me.

How about Vampire in Brooklyn?

Probably my least favourite of his films as I just couldn't get to grips with its tone (it's a comedy-horror which is neither funny nor scary) or Eddie Murphy's performance.

HILLS 2?

SACRILEGE!

What other film has a 'flashback mutt'?

VAMPIRE IN BROOKLYN-Well said someone.

I don't know why Deadly Friend is always slated,it's a daft eighties potboiler and fun to watch!

[iank]

I can only agree about Shocker, it's absolutely bloody dreadful!

[Gold6082]

I Like Shocker! It's not a masterpiece but it's fun.... leave Assitant Director Skinner alone... The Truth is out there agents!


anyway.

After a couple of months of nothing for me (May & June) I've pre ordered some of July,August & Septembers slate.

Including

Slugs,Crimes of Passion,Satan's Blade,Matinee & Butterfly.


Slugs has always held a special place in my heart as I mentioned years ago on here it's one of the first Horror VHS I ever got age 8,and despite the atrocious acting and dialogue "Jesus christ they're BIG!" springs to mind the gore is impressive and the film is fun.


I am still debating on microwave massacre,it sounds dreadful and seems unpopular. I nearly got it off ebay on VHS back in 2003 but lost the auction,so still non the wiser!

Driller Killer seems like American Horror Project material to me. The Burning will surely get a multi disc fancy gatefold package like Videodrome or Deep Red?

I'd say so, yes. Driller Killer may even get the deluxe treatment since it did on DVD in the US by Cult Epics.

As for Blood Feast, I can see Arrow maybe releasing a HGL box set and then releasing titles individually later on.
