Last post by chainsaw midget - Today at 07:19:13 AMMurder by Death (1976)
A hilarious parody of classic fictional detectives and old mystery films, featuring Peter Sellers, Peter Falk, Elsa Lanchester, and Alec Guinness, among others.
Five of the worlds greatest detectives (parodies of Charlie Chan, the couple from The Thin Man, Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, and a wonderful Sam Spade style detective played by Peter Falk) are all invited to a mysterious mansion filled with death trap to solve a murder that hasn't happened yet.
His goal is to prove HE'S the better criminologist by presenting them with a crime they can't solve. His own murder.
Also along for the adventure is a blind butler and a deaf/mute maid/cook.
While some people may be offended by the over-the-top Chinese detective played by Peter Sellers, it's done in so an outlandish way, it's hard to be mad at it.
On top of that, the ending comes with a parade of twists that don't really make sense, but that's all part of the joke. Worth seeing if you haven't.

Last post by Alex - Today at 02:18:45 AMI enjoyed it a lot and can't help thinking that those who are complaining about Homelander's death have really missed the point of the whole show.

Last post by indianasmith - May 26, 2026, 09:49:13 PMAnd I must admit, I enjoyed the entire blood-soaked, parody-heavy, biting social satire series all the way through! And, without spoilers, Homelander's comeuppance was the most viscerally satisfying thing since watching Ramsey Bolton get eaten by his own hounds in GAME OF THRONES.
What did you guys think?

Last post by chainsaw midget - May 26, 2026, 04:24:34 PMApparently they've rediscovered the missing scenes from Hammer Horror's Dracula and are restoring them for a big screen re-release in October.

Over 3 minutes of cut footage from the original 1958 release has been recovered from a Warner Bros. storage facility near LAX.
• The footage was only ever screened during Horror of Dracula's original Japanese theatrical run – never released in the UK, US, or on any home entertainment format in any territory
• Gore confirms the restored cut is primarily about Dracula's fate: "The world will get to see the bits they weren't seeing, which is mostly to do with how Dracula dies at the end. All the crucial points that were axed are now back in."
• Also restored: an extended scene of Dracula descending on a woman before biting her, cut for being too sexual. As Gore describes it, "It's so sexual and they had to trim that because it just looked like it was nothing to do with vampires."
