Just saw Fulci's Zombie - very good stuff

The Zombies were friggin disgusting (no grey face paint here!!!)

While the acting was borderline terrible - I still felt for the characters and did not want them to die:
Spoiler:
I felt terrible for that one girl fighting with the zombie at the door, man that was a great scene


Oh one last thing:
Spoiler:
for the love of god.........a zombie fought a shark!!! a friggin shark!!! and it was awesome!!!


I also rented Opera but guess what? The damn disc wouldn't play - yeah I'm very pissed off.

These were initially defective and Anchor Bay has a replacement program. You might want to tell the rental place about this. There's probably an old thread(s) in the main forum regarding this.

This last weekend, I had a mini Lucio Fulchi filmfest:

Demonia
Don't Torture a Ducking
New York Ripper
The House by the Cemetary
The Beyond

How long ago was this? What are the chances the disc would be bad if I ordered one from Deep Discount DVD?

I must say that I was in shock at "The Duck" character. I'm still speechless

Hmmm for me, it was 2 years ago. I think it only affect the Limited Edition (but I could be wrong). I would imagine it'd be safe by now.

I saw the trailer for and it looked pretty annoying - were you speechless because it sucked or was it because it was freaky?

(I thought the easter egg on the Beyond was pretty cool to )

Freaky and VERY unexpected for a movie of this type. How many other horror movies have a killer that does a mean Donald Duck???

Only 1...

Just saw The Stendhal Syndrome. I loved the concept and the visuals in this film (just a killer idea) but I felt a little cheated after about the half way mark.............the movie just became a little to long and drawn out.

But I must say, that rapist was one disturbing dude and his gross fetish was something I've never seen before in a film. It had me freaked out and Argento did not let up on the tension and horror that he brought to the table - this is one of the reasons why he is now one of my fav. directors, He is so brilliant at punching your nerves and making you say "what the hell, this is some f***** up shit". He tells his stories through his visuals alone and I don't know how he does it...........but it works.

I remember when I bought Suspiria and didn't like it (except for the end, that has got to be some of the most disturbing material ever in a horror movie, very well done) well I gave it another viewing and now I love it, I guess I just wasn't ready for it the first time around and now that I know who all the characters are and what they are up to........it makes the film a hell of a lot scarier.

Asia Argento is one little hottie as well, couldn't get enough of her

All in all, I dug the Stendhal Syndrome and I was very pleased with the ride I was taken on - I highly reccommend this film to any new fans of Italian horror and I can't wait to watch Sleepless and Opera
