If you havent seen it, I believe Angel Heart may still be on demand. Its one I definately recommend, especially if you have an appreciation for both horror and film noir.



Yes, I saw it when it came out and I did watch it again on demand.  I like it a lot.  I even liked it knowing the ending.

I watched ADAPTATION last night and liked it quite a bit.  People point ouit Cooper's AA winning performance, but I really was impressed by Cage's dual role.  All 3 main actors did top notch work.

Yes, Rev, check out LAST HOUSE and decide for yourself.  Consider it an education.  Anyone who can claim a film featuring humiliation, sexual assault, and murder as a "favorite" has developed a thick skin.  Thumbdown  Bluesad

Big  Thumbdown on LAST HOUSE.

It was an R-rated, 82 min cut, so some of the "disturbing" material was cut out.  Not that it would have helped.  The overwhelming impression I got was that it was just a bad film, which of course can be a good thing, but in this case it was just bad and unpleasant instead of bad and fun.  I give Craven a bit of a break because it was his first film and he's improved, but this showed almost no directorial talent, in my view.  There was very little sense of suspense; the movie never really gave us the false hope that the girls might escape.  The chase through the woods was actually rather boring and predictable. 

The awful attempts at comic relief with the bungling country cops were even more painful than the humiliation scenes. 

Just really awful. On the level of LOVE CAMP 7.  I wouldn't recommend this even for it's "historical value", whatever that might be.

The only one I have seen is Serpent and the Rainbow and I enjoyed it very much.
Funny you should mention Last House on the Left.My mom turned that on the other night.After clicking the info button on the remote and reading to find out what the film was about,I said,"You're going to watch that?!".My mom replied,"yeah".
Later,my Dad came in,sat down and watched the rest(he missed at least the first 30 minutes).
Later(don't ask me what scene),I overheard him say,"This is the kind of sh*t you watch??".

My vote would go for Serpert and The Rainbow. However, this is largely due to the fact that it is also one of my favorite books. Wade Davis is a great writer, not only in novel form but also for his articles and papers he has written.

Last House is very mean spirited film. It's the same problem I have with some of the Troma films...

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
