I'm almost just as excited about seeing the bonus feature, THE LIVING IDOL, which was co-directed (uncredited) by René Cardona (SANTA CLAUS and a lot of Mexican wrestling movies).
I'm still waiting (2 months now) for my DVD of Nor The Moon By Night (1958) which I bought for Mom and my Blurays of Ronin and The Recruit.
2 months?! I start to get tetchy if orders take longer than 1 week!
just ordered:
FINAL EXAM (1981)
NIGHT SCHOOL aka TERROR EYES (1981)
I'm a total early 80s slasher nerd so not sure how I've missed these 2...they're not on youtube and I don't stream movies anywhere else, so I've gotta have them!

I don't buy many movies anymore because I have a ton and already have most of the ones I would want, but this is my most recent addition. A 1971 spaghetti western.
Today's haul:

Today's arrival:
i see someone bought (1981)'s Final Exam,i watched that oh it i think was a couple weeks ago and it was one of the worst films i've ever seen.
WOW was it bad, as for ones i bought i bought The Omen films on blu-ray though the case is bent i just didn't feel like going back to wall mart when i think that was the last copy that they had i think? the set is all 4 films including the remake which i have not seen, i've only seen the first 2 films.
Final Conflict i actually have the book of and i think i have the book for the others too but i just have never gotten around to actually read them.
how bad is the remake anyways?
Knives Out bluray
The Rise of Skywalker bluray
Jurassic World bluray
![](https://images.arrowfilms.com/Images/b558cd00-d39f-4104-a029-a7053e5426a1.jpg)
Also, I actually bought a digital copy of this on YouTube, since it was only about a dollar more than the rental price and a Blu-ray is not out yet:
I hadn't seen Candyman (1992) in about 25 years, so I ordered it off of Amazon and watched it again the other night. It was scarier in the '90s but it is still a very well done movie. The acting is what really drives this movie and I love the whole urban folklore angle that it takes. Tony Todd is at his best in this movie, second only to his best performance in Night Of The Living Dead (1990). I didn't know until the other day that Virginia Madsen is Michael Madsen's little sister. :cheers:
I bought "Night Owl" (1990) with John Leguizamo. While he's not the main character, he has a major part. Apparently it took 2 years to film. The sad part is, it's ALMOST a great movie. The script needed one more draft before they started shooting IMHO. It's a vampire movie... theoretically. However, the rules of the vampire are inconsistent. This makes the movie confusing. It almost could be taken that the main character is just a psychopathic killer using vampirism as an excuse...but that doesn't come across either since the script has minor inconsistencies in regards to what exactly is going on.
HABIT (1995) explores the theme weather the killer is actually killing.. or an actual vampire without too much confusion.
However, NIGHT OWL (1990) is still worth watching.
i watched all the candy man movies years ago and i think the only one that was at least decent was the last one but Tony Todd wasn't in that one and as much as i love Tony Todd and he is damn good in those films that's not even a question, but those are terrible movies i had such high hopes for the 1st film but i thought it was terrible but it was better than the sequels i can't remember which one was worse the 2nd or the 3rd but maybe it's cause i've seen it all before cause it's the same thing as Bloody Mary the old tale and Supernatural did it better in season 1 than Candyman did i think but again to each their own i suppose,
let's see last week i think it was? i bought Captain America: Civil wars and it was one of the weaker films i thought not a terrible film but i think it was 7/10 i gave it. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (2017) is one i bought awhile back, 'Thor' (2011) and it's sequel Dark World (2013) i've been trying to get all the Marvel films on 4K and i've got 9 more to get before i have them all. the last Spider-man film i bought as well but i'm not watching that until i see the 1st one and i don't have that one yet.

i missed that i see someone bought "The Devil's Nightmare (1971) i thought that was a decent movie actually. i have not seen that Lugosi film though, i hope it's better than "The Devil Bat' (1941) that one is WOW painfully bad.

For one whole United States Dollar, I got "Mr. Moto Takes a Vacation" with Peter Lorre.
There is a cool bonus feature "The return of Mr. Moto" with Henry Silva reprising the role 20 years later. I was pleasantly surprised by this bonus movie. While it did try to cash in on the Spy craze after the 007 franchise took the world by storm, this film didn't catch anyone's attention to make more sadly (IMHO)
Henry Silva did not need to have his eyes taped back to give an Asian slant. Since it was filmed in Black and white, he did not need makeup either. The best bit is, Mr. Silva did not resort to a cheap Asian accent for his performance. In fact, only once does "Mr. Moto's " Japanese" ancestry rise up; when he has to pass off as a Japanese ambassador. Otherwise, he's just another Interpol agent who happens to look Japanese.
For an action film, there is not a whole lot of action, There are fight scenes, but they are stagnant visually speaking. The script is okay. There are parts where it shines...like the villain: Drago; a former Nazi agent who is rather brutal for a 1965 Hollywood type villain goes.

That's a movie?
no, that's a jerk.
my recent buy was a new copy of tank girl, sine mine never came back from a loan. :hatred:
Got the complete Violent s**t collection on DVD. Should have my grubby little hands on it by Friday :smile:
you like those films? to use the title those titles are well s**t lol. check out The Cinema Snob episodes of those man those are worth a watch i think.
anyways i bought some Doctor Who on blu-ray. i'm gonna call them what they are and not what the states for some stupid ass reason calls them Season 18 and Season 26 Season 18 in fact has the K-9 pilot as well
My roommate got a copy of a Dr. Who set with episodes written by Douglas (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy fame) Adams. He was the show runner for a few seasons. The ones he wrote (at least on this set) were terrible.
My roommate is the Dr Who fan..and he admits its unwatchable.
Douglass Adams wasn't the show Runner he was one of the writers. Shada was one the stories he wrote that they never finished cause of a strike at the time but it's a damn good story. but i wonder which one you are talking about? but you are right there are ones he wrote that are good and than there are ones that are just plain awful.

Adams wrote THE PIRATE PLANET for Season 16(and it IS awful), for Season 17 he was the Script Editor for the whole season as well as contributing scripts CITY OF DEATH and SHADA.

The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) and The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone (1990) on blu ray. The new version of The Godfather III (1990) technically came out last year to commemorate the final film's 30th anniversary, but I'm calling it (1990) because that's when we were first introduced to that hot mess. I bought it because I really want to like that movie because I love the first two films and I really want to like the trilogy as a whole, but before the new Star Wars sequel trilogy, The Godfather trilogy had been the worst trilogy I had seen because of the final film, and I'm really hoping that Coppola's remix can pull it off. I haven't seen it yet and I'm saving it for this weekend.
Maximum Overdrive DVD at Goodwill for a buck 99
damn i love that movie i have it on blur-ray. the last thing i bought was NCIS Seasons 4 and 5 for total of $14 bucks
THE MALTESE FALCON on DVD..but it has two other versions as well. Just watched the first attempt from 1931. Not much changed.. even the script is nearly identical...just the casting is not quite as strong.
there is actually 3 different versions the (1931) is a decent version i do not remember a thing about it than there's one that Bette Davis did in (1936) The 2nd one is Satan Met a lady (1936) that one is my favorite the (1941) version is a decent one but i love the Bette Davis one but many find that the weakest one i don't but to each their own i suppose.
Last month, I broke down and bought THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT on DVD from Amazon.
Amazing movie. It's so good, the Beatles stopped right in the middle of recording an album to go over to Paul's house to watch its TV premiere.
funny enough i've never seen that one there's a lot of famous movies that people have loved for many years that i haven't seen and it's not because i refuse to see them it's just i haven't gotten a chance to watch them that's all.
Recently bought Rumble Fish because I couldn't find any any YouTube videos where they talk about The Pied Piper...
The Glory Stompers because I couldn't find any jpgs of Bono In A Tree.................

Police Story 1 & 2: Criterion Collection on blu ray. I'm really stoked about this one, even more than I was about the
Bruce Lee Criterion Collection that I bought on blu ray last summer. :cheers:
I bought my dad the following for his birthday:
Airplane & Airplane 2 DVD 2 in 1 pack
Hereditary
King Kong (1933)
DVDs for a buck from a local record store:
1408

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Dean Koontz's Phantoms
I pre-ordered this recently:
I was tempted, Burgo, but resisted.
Instead I went for
awhile back i bought The Ten Commandments (1956) 4K recently it was Stargate SG-1 (1997-2007)
Mission Impossible: Fallout.
Once I watched it, I realized what an idiot I was for not seeing it in the theatre.

Police Story Criterion Collection? And Bruce Lee Criterion Collection?? I need to go to the shops more often. How is the video and audio quality?
My recent purchases are TENET blu ray and the Hobbs and Shaw blu ray. Nothing like a little balance.
Repo Man (1984) on The Criterion Collection two disc set...
Then, for the life of me, I don't know why, I bought the Anchor Bay limited edition collectors' tin, even though I already have the soundtrack on 4track/cassette & CD ripped to my PC.......
Neither of which mention deleted scenes...........
But both were at the price I was looking to spend..........
A few more dollar DVDs from the local used music/book/movie emporium:
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Face/Off
Previously-viewed movie score at Dollar General:
Star Wars: The Force Awakens (DVD/Blu Ray combo)

I've only ever owned the VHS version of
Police Story (1985) before, so I know that the blu ray has excellent quality. I love that it includes the original Cantonese audio along with the English dub, so you can appreciate the emotion in the original voice acting. Criterion does their usual excellent quality in restoring these films to their remastered original audio before dubbing and international distribution ruined them for purists. The Bruce Lee collection is a definite must-buy; even though it is 1080p blu ray, they must have remastered them in 4K or something because they can easily pass for 4K movies if you are watching them on a 4K TV.
last week i bought Evita (1996) a favorite film of mine and i haven't seen it in years! i love the music i think it's a matter of taste i suppose i don't think i've seen it since i was in my 20's or maybe even in my 30's so it's been a long time

i don't think i've ever seen a movie as bad as the one i mentioned recently Delta Delta Die (2003) that one is i think the worst movie i've ever seen in my life. i'm not naming Troll 2 cause i've never seen the whole thing i watched about 5 minutes of it and shut it off cause it was that bad

s**t man, if you're looking for some real bottom of the barrel stuff check out some of the other Full Moon movies from around that period. Basically up to 1996 they are either old enough to have a charm to them or benefitted from big studio financing via Paramount. In the late 2000s they had new investors from China which at least gave them enough money to make the movies look like...well movies.
But that in between period is filled with some of the most horrible crap you can imagine. Seriously, a high school video production class could have made some better looking things than some of those movies.
yeah for a long time a lot of his stuff was pretty bad, i am thinking of the Howling film that they did in (1995) i think that was made after Paramount said F... to them but yeah that one is pretty bad. stiches (2000) yeah that one is just plain awful

Haha I've had the DVD of Stiches sitting on my nightstand for a few months now. I've seen a truncated version of it in one of Full Moon's clip show movies that puts a few truncated versions of movies together with very little rhyme or reason. From what I've seen I'd rank Stiches above some of the crap Full Moon has put out, but I haven't had the urge to watch the full thing either.
Band has done some great movies Re-Animator (1985) and From Beyond (1986) come to Dolls (1987) comes to mind 'Castle Freak (1995) and so many more the Trancer series etc.. but he's also done movies so bad that i dunno what he was even thinking on putting them out and the films he put out last year during the shut down are a good example of not only out of ideas but a man of desperation even though he no doubt was making some pretty good money on streaming and prolly ordering movies online from him too and merchandise as well. but all that is just guess work of course
but Stiches (2000) was also Dr. see i forget the name of that film from around that time on how bad it it was!

I've read that one and the follow-up. I can't remember if it was in the first novel or second, but I reached a passage in the book where something happens to a guy sitting on the toilet. I read that section and passed it to the guy sitting beside me and told him to read it. The book was then passed from person to person until everyone in the room had read this particular passage. You could tell by the squirming look on everyone's face when they reached this one particular sentence.
Suddenly I'm finding cheap previously viewed DVDs of the recent Star Wars movies in every store I go to... last night I scored The Last Jedi for $8.99, and I wanna go back for Solo next chance I get (unless someone beats me to it).

I found the first book amongst my shelf this morning so I will look out for that passage (if it's featured in book one) when I find the time to give it a read. Picturing the book being passed around and people being revolted, almost reminds me of crime scene evidence being passed around members of a jury for examination.

Having had a think about it, I think the passage in question is in the follow up (which I believe is called Breeding Ground). I would have been about 16 or 17 when I read it.
Justice League: Snyder Cut.
A nearly four-hour-long sprawling epic. Is it better than the Whedon version? Well, that comes down to your own taste. I would say it is an exercise in storytelling bearing all the hallmarks of Snyder's established aesthetic. It is less entertaining as a tent pole movie in the Marvel tradition so I guess it comes down to appreciating movies as an art or just wanting to be entertained. Me, I like both versions for different reasons.

You are correct.
Mission: Impossible (1996), the 25th Anniversary edition on blu ray. I'm not sure what makes this the "25th anniversary edition"; maybe it's the special features that I haven't looked at yet; probably just some commentary track that they added on to commend the 25th anniversary of the movie or something. The blu ray transfer is terrible in some areas; particularly in the night time scenes where Tom Cruise's team is initially getting killed off; where some of the colors appear over-saturated and pixely, while other parts of the film look very well done.
If you have at least a 5.1 surround sound system, the movie sounds very loud now because it looks like they redid the audio in Dolby DTS which really packs a punch for a lot of home theater movies nowadays. But Tom Cruise and Jon Voight are still as cheesy as ever in this movie. I haven't actually sat down to watch this movie since 1999 ever since it went into syndication on everything from AMC to TNT throughout the 2000s, so I had forgotten how enjoyably bad that this movie is. I haven't watched any of the other movies in this franchise yet because I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise at all, but this is probably worth picking up on sale.
why would it be a bad thing if someone bought Lassie Come Home (1943)? it's a decent movie but it's not one i like enough to buy.

I actually don't know what's on the DVD yet, but I assume it's just trailers.
I recently bought a copy of Warriors Of The Wasteland, aka, New Barbarians (1983) from DigiView Entertainment for $4.50 on eBay, which I had previously picked up at the Dollar Tree, but lost it in the move about ten years ago....
Not sure if I should look for one in higher res, or if I should just stick with this low-res VHS rip....
i bought "John Wick (2014) on blu-ray for $5.00 at wallmart i've actually never seen it and i haven't watched it yet either but i'm sure i will soon enough
Minari (2020) starring Glenn from
The Walking Dead (2010).

The dialogue is mostly in the Korean language. I started watching it earlier tonight, but my wife wanted to watch it with me and didn't want to watch it tonight. I have to do what the boss says, so I'll watch it on another night.

Church rummage sale today; as usual I was looking for music CDs, but what few they had were mostly crap.
I snagged these DVDs for fifty cents apiece though, so it wasn't a total waste of a trip.

The Saw 8-Film Collection on blu ray. I saw the first one the year that it came out in 2004, but never gave the other ones a chance because they looked silly. I saw the first one on sale for $14.99 recently, then saw this entire box set on sale for the same price at Walmart the other day and figured "why the hell not?" I'm a sucker for good deals, even if it's something that I'm not that interested in. I might like it though.

Slugs (1988) based on the Huston book. A largely unheard of cast, the majority of whom did nothing other than this film in the industry. Some good kills though.
I've read that one and the follow-up. I can't remember if it was in the first novel or second, but I reached a passage in the book where something happens to a guy sitting on the toilet. I read that section and passed it to the guy sitting beside me and told him to read it. The book was then passed from person to person until everyone in the room had read this particular passage. You could tell by the squirming look on everyone's face when they reached this one particular sentence.
That reminds me of when I was in high school and a friend gave me James Herbert's
The Fog to read: there's one chapter where I went OMG, closed it and gave it back. Hint: something to do with a pair of garden shears :buggedout: :buggedout:

Ah, the school scene. Random story, I'd taken this book to the hospital with me to read when Kristi went in to give birth to Ash. This ended up being the first story I ever read to him.
My local Dollar Tree store has been something of a honey hole for cheap horror DVD's of late... two weekends ago I stopped in there and picked up: The Amityville Murders and Trick.
Last weekend I picked up Satanic Panic (aka Panic according to the cardboard slip cover over the DVD) and You Might Be The Killer.
Today, well, I went a little nuts and hauled in all of these:
Sanitarium (Malcolm McDowell, Robert "Freddy Krueger" Englund, and Lacey "Party of Five" Chabert? Sold!)
Spree (my son saw this and recommended it, back cover sez it's an "American Psycho for the digital age")
3 Lives
Flight From Hell: Dead on Arrival
The Shed (saw the trailer for this in front of "Trick" a few nights back, looks like a hoot)
Z (Shudder Original)
Plus these non-horrors:
The Island (Ewan McGregor/Scarlet Johanssen)
Epicenter - Earthquake disaster flick starring Traci Lords, packaged with 7 more (!) "bonus" movies! Woohoo!
... I think that oughta keep me busy for a little while... :D
Joker bluray
Ford v Ferrari bluray
Dragon Knight
A man with only one emotion tries to find a dragon to save the world from a handful of guys wearing the mask from "V for Vendetta."
They find a dragon at the end of the movie, so it only gets a few minutes of screen time. A mix of decent fantasy elements used poorly, with a soundtrack of stick music which occasionally drowns out the dialog.
(Note: that "only one emotion" quip is a joke about the acting, not a plot point.)
Dragon Heart 5-Movie collection
Why is Dragon Heart getting sequels 20+ years later? I kinda get the first sequal, since it came out just a few years after the original, but the others? Ah well, at least on film in this pack should be good. :smile:
![](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/517MqP2wHlL.jpg)
Seems somewhat interesting so far - VERY low budget Space 1999 type thing but my standards are pretty low.
![](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TVKo4wFNL._SY679_.jpg)
Low budget British mystery/thriller type thing. Forty-three of them! Watched the first two...a bit of a chore.
Jack's back!
Got some new DVD's from Dollar Tree.
Specifically, I got a copy of the 1995 comedy Canadian Bacon (a personal favorite of mine) and some mockbuster called Alien Predator that I haven't even heard of. So this should be good.
Sonic the Hedgehog, which I still need to see.

Hey Burgo 😊😊😊
I bought the first 20 James Bong movies: a box set of all the titles from Dr No to Die Another Day. Each title is a double DVD with extra features: not bad for under $20. 😊
Nice bargain. I bought them all individually over a period of years and paid more than $20 . . .
finally, finally, FINALLY found a legit dvd of quatermass and the pit-aka-5 million miles to earth, yay! and it's yet another reason i love my all region PAL/NTSC player!

Shame you didn't tell me you were after this one. I believe I have a spare copy of it.
I bought a total of 4 new blurays this month :teddyr:
1. Switchblade Sisters
2. Rabid
3. Dead Ringers
4. The Godfather 2
Danza Macabre Vol.1: The Italian Gothic Collection(Monster Of the Opera, The Seventh Grave, Scream Of the Demon Lover, Lady Frankenstein)
Thrillers From the Vault
The Magician(1926)
Hands Of Orlac(1924)
The Cat Creeps(1946)
Flesh and Fantasy(1943)
Dead Of Night(1945)
A Dragonfly For Each Corpse(1975)
Nightmare Castle(1965)
Dark Night Of the Scarecrow(1979)
Some cheap DVD scores from a local church's annual Rummage Sale - as it's the last day of the sale everything is half off, so they only cost me a quarter each:
Kill Cruise (1990) Elizabeth Hurley and Patsy Kensit in a murderous love triangle on a boat. Nuff said. Still brand new & sealed!
Evel Knievel (1971) George Hamilton as the stuntman supreme! I vaguely remember seeing this on TV when I was a kid.
Both movies are on the infamous "Digiview" budget line label, who supplied dollar stores and Wal-Marts with tons of forgotten public-domain junk like this back in the early 00s. Whatever happened to those guys? I miss them. :(

Well, I watched it last night and I must say the subject matter and the sleaze are so far beyond the limits of good taste that I can't recommend it to anyone. I was surprised at the production quality, though. I was expecting a grainy, poorly edited movie that looked like it was made by a bunch of amateurs. But the blu-ray has sharp, clear video and audio and the acting (while not great) is better than you would expect. I thought it would be along the lines of "Last House on Dead End Street," but the production values are head and shoulders above that movie. It's like a train wreck in that I should have looked away . . . but my morbid curiosity would not allow it. It takes a while to get going . . . they spoon feed you bits and pieces and hints of what is to come, but they eventually unleash the sickness. At the end, just when you think the madness is over, they slap you across the face with a final shot indicating more sickness to come.

I'm no RC, but WHITE ZOMBIE is the classic there, one of Lugosi's best performances.
thanks Rev. (yes it was an open question of course!)
I'd agree w/ WHITE ZOMBIE as the stand-out in all regards. I've seen at least one of the other two yet recall neither clearly, but suspect that Bela is support, not the lead, possibly in both. He's definitely the main attraction in WZ.
But we're burying the lead... I presume you are an adult and you've been an active member of a website called BadMovies.org for many years... and you've never seen a Bela Lugosi movie? :bouncegiggle: Does Not Compute!!!

- wasn't until I checked his imdb earlier that I see he was in PLAN 9... well I've seen that, if it counts as a 'Bela Lugosi' movie?
I've mentioned before on here that I have a hard time with b/w movies in general. I start my personal badmovie journey around 1967. it is what it is.
Hey that's cool, no shame. I used to have some issue getting into B+W movies, too, but later films like ERASERHEAD that used B+W as a stylistic choice instead of a necessity helped me get over that. Obviously stuff like VAMPYR also helped.
And PLAN 9 totally counts! It really is Bela in... several shots of that movie!

I like Lynch but ERASERHEAD was kind of harrowing to me. only saw it recently, not sure I'll rewatch, but the b/w definitely feels 'right'... ditto PSYCHO, not sure I'd be happy if they 'colourized' that. CLERKS kinda worked in b/w
exceptions to me though... don't know what it is. I'm the least snobby person when it comes to 'picture quality'. got the most basic tv set ever. I've watched entire films on youtube at 240fps, on my phone! something about no colour grates on me though :question:
in other news a couple of days ago I got the Arrow bluray release of THE CAR (1977)
![](https://horrorcultfilms.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/THE_CAR_bluray.jpg)
love 70s horror / disaster type stuff, but this was soooo corny and cheesy. still enjoyed it, but yeah this being mentioned in the same sentence as JAWS and DUEL (which the blurb on the inlay does) is a reach into infinity. I thought it might be a little darker (especially considering Anton LaVey was a consultant (...erm what?))
there's a scene where some random character shouts, for no reason, "CAT POOOO"! I rewound that bit and stuck subtitles on to see if I'd heard it right... on subtitles it came up as "TADPOLE"...which makes an equal lack of sense? but she clearly doesn't say "Tadpole", it's "Cat Pooo". no idea
Was she about to clean a litter box? That's a commonly heard rallying cry around my three-feline house...
I watched a B+W film from 1956 yesterday and indeed, it took me a while to get into it. Part of that was the leisurely pacing and part of it was that it was just a more or less pedestrian-looking movie in B+W for a while but then after the plot got going the DP clearly got more inspired and the texture of certain shots, the large spooky close-ups, the dilapidated setting... it all started registering as "ERASERHEAD-like" to me and suddenly I was in love. The film has very little in common w/ ERASERHEAD (except maybe mental illness and living in squalor) yet my pivotal early experience w/ ERASERHEAD runs so deep in me that it just becomes a reference point for many B+W films w/ moody cinematography. I had the same experience w/ the Korean film THE HOUSEKEEPER last summer. (That one did have a little more in common w/ a David Lynch film, though.)
I think the reason it took me so long to see ERASERHEAD is because of the b/w...

she was shouting it at 'the car'... maybe it was some kind of obscure protest against catalytic converters. radical!
