Great Special Effects in that one. Does it make any sense, yet?

I so hated Drag Me To Hell. Let us know your verdict.

I have to say I enjoyed it. It's derivative of L'ALDILA and -
especially - NIGHT OF THE DEMON, but as unpretentious fun horror flicks
go it's better than most we've been subjected to in recent years. I
rather wish I'd seen it at my local cinema with an audience.

No mention of whether it's the '33 or the '62 version. Figures. I knew that
you'd pretend to be all tony and stuff about your cinematic diet. I also knew
that you would step on your dick whilst doing so.
Nothing fails quite as completely as failed attempts to look clever ((tm)

So, all the copies of _Day of Wrath_ were rented out?

You mean it's derivative of all the good horror films from which Lucio Fulci
stole while he was making _The Beyond_?
Quite honestly, I like the title _Seven Doors of Death_ better, as it makes
it sound more like a lame grade-B horror picture that closes in three days.
Truth in advertising, and all that.
Ghoul
I'm very surprised you liked it. It's funny that the thing most people
thought was lame (The goat) was the only thing that I got a kick out
of.

... it was a hoot with an audience. I don't really see why people didn't
like this. I thought it was a lot of fun; like a 80's trashy horror flick
with a bigger budget.

Because when it came out the critics were calling it the best and
scariest and funniest horror film in years. Those of us who went to
the cinema with these expectations were thoroughly disappointed. If it
had been described as a bit of throw-away fun it might just have lived
up to it.

I got the "Masters of Cinema" Fritz Lang Mabuse box set for Christmas. It
contains DR MABUSE DER SPIELER, DAS TESTAMENT DES DR MABUSE and DIE 1000
AUGEN DES DR MABUSE.
I'm going to wait for the debilitating effects of the festive alcohol to
expire before I even attempt to tackle the epic DER SPIELER which runs for a
total of 270 minutes.
What's more - it's in black and white with no fucking sound! Some
restoration that is.
Dr Walpurgis
Sky Arts have been showing a lot of Lang in HD. That's where I got
TESTAMENT. The print is prefaced with a few notes about the print and
German museum resoration work, which drew on multiple sources. It may
well be the same version Criterion used for their old disc, which I no
longer have.
It was amusing to spot the same KRAUT COPPER from M, which I also
rewatched again recently, in it.

We have a loud but small plurality of people here who maintain that anything
made in the United States after 1982 or so is total shit.

I've got myself a shitload of old KRAUT classics to wade through due to a
pre-Christmas Eureka blowout. Speaking of old familiar faces, DIE 1000 AUGEN
DES DR MABUSE features Baron Bomburst himself - Gert Frobe.

Wuss. I saw all of Sergei Bondarchuk's _War and Peace_ when I had a cold.

Ingrate. Like I was just saying in another thread, the VHS release of that
picture was so awful that the best local vidpit wouldn't even carry it.
