I'm fishing this boards opinion on two movies I was tempted to rent.
1) Beast of Bray Road
Interested because of the cover, i know a bad way to judge movies, especially these days.
2) Undead.
Interested becaues I like good zombie movies.And the cover said it was the most imagentive zombie movie since "Brain Dead"
3) Can't remember the title but I swear it was among the lines of "Something- Eaters" The cover showed a sharp toothed little head coming up from the bottom of the cover. Again the cover looked interesting.
Anyone seen these?
Oh yeah and sadly all the copies of Slither were already rented. So I was sad.
Hey Dave, I saw Beast of Bray Road a while back on SciFi band posted a short review.

I guess I won't be springing for that one then. Nice cover better than average I must say.
I have also been interested in "Undead," having run across the cover and description as well.
Was the third film also more modern? If not, could it have been "The Flesh Eaters" (1964)? If that was the film, I would definitely say to give it a try. In some ways it is your normal late 50's or early 60's b-movie, but there are some surprisingly gory parts.
No. The very vague movie I'm thinking about was in the new release section. It was like a worm with sharp needle teeth.
Maybe the title wasn't even flesh eaters at all.
I enjoyed Undead, but I'm biased since I'm not only a zombie fan, and love any zombie film no matter how crap it is [and there are a lot of crap ones to watch] and that I'm Australian, and all that.
It's low budget, has some terrible acting in parts, but it has a great sense of humour and despite the fact that it is low budget, some of the effects aren't half bad. It's worth a look, but it sure as hell isn't the best zombie film you'll ever see, so I'd steer you away from getting your expectations too high.
Still, watch it you must!
As for the otheres, not too sure about them, but I also went to rent Slither the other night and it was out, so had to settle for Nightwatch and the Da Vinci Code. Nightwatch is one I'm looking foward too, and will hopefully watch it tonight.
Oh yeah. I planned on renting Night Watch but I saw it was rated R.
I was worried that this was a cut R from an Unrated version. Since I heard of a few of the things that happened in the movie.
So it's always been rated R?
Nightwatch is rated MA15+ here which is a step below R18+ in Australia. R18+ was reserved for the likes of fairly full on films, either in language [like Clerks] themes [such as Mysterious Skin] or just plain violence, whereas MA15+ I think is the equivalent of R in the states, but don't quote me on that. I'm sure a quick search will find the differences.
Funnily enough, have a feeling that it was rated R18+ here when it came out at cinemas, just like Kill Bill Vol 1 and Three Kings, and then when it was released on DVD it was re-rated. I'm not sure if that's because things were cut out, or if there's different classifications/relaxed standards for DVDs/VIdeos here though.
Undead is a great movie. It has a nice double twist ending. Watch for the scene where the gun nut produces a pair of pistols from behind his back WHILE BARE ASS NAKED......
