Bad Movies / Re: best 'interquels' (?)
Last post by Trevor - October 22, 2026, 11:54:02 PMHOWLING 4 THE ORIGINAL NIGHTMARE is cheesy but not too bad. It's also more faithful to the original book so there's that.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by M.10rda - October 22, 2026, 06:16:14 PMTHE BRAIN-EATERS (1958):
Great title for a schizophrenic 50s alien horror that is similar enough to "The Puppet Masters" that Robert Heinlein probably coulda' sued. Mathematically about half of this film is cheap-looking, dull, goofy schlock that would seem right at home on MST3K, while the other half is occasionally quite creepy, bleak, and surprisingly violent. If you just FF through and stop randomly at any point in BRAIN-EATERS, it's a toss-up which movie you'll get.
In small town "Riverdale" USA
shambling humanoids approach folks on the street and inexplicably attack and strangle them....... in order to plant a fresh Brain-Eater in their skull! These little aliens (which arrived on Earth in a spooky abandoned rocket) don't actually "eat" anyone's brain but they do control them and make them homicidal, though if you ask them directly they'll swear up and down that they only want peace and to help mankind! (Oh sure, I've heard that one before.) A handful of scientists are joined by the Mayor's wimpy adult fail-son, a fat Washington politician who never takes his hat off, and not one but two useless girlfriends (so that one of them can meet a nasty end). The main scientist is a cool greaser scientist who looks and acts like Oscar Isaac or Jake Johnson from "New Girl". He's probably the most compelling part of the movie and the actor does a decent job.
Also noteworthy: Leonard "Nemoy" (according to the opening credits) appears near the end as some kind of ancient space wizard. (Obv!) I think he may've also contributed the voice-over narration - it sounds like him but the narration isn't from the perspective of the space wizard but also isn't clearly from the perspective of any other major character, and generally it seems like it was written and recorded after the fact to tie together shaky continuity. BRAIN-EATERS is one of only three features directed by Bruno VeSota, a large actor who you've seen in multiple cheap drive-in films of the 50s and 60s. It's a hot mess, but it's more entertaining than many other similar flicks from the same era. 3/5 If during the first half hour you take a shot of bourbon every time one of the scientists stares into the middle distance and says "I don't know..." you'll never make it to the end of the movie!

Came out in 2023. Technically the 10th film in the series, it actually takes place between Saw 1 and Saw 2. Like, it's after the events of 1, but prior to 2. Something like that.
And, Saw 2 & 3...technically both sequels in the franchise, but I believe both are happening concurrently at the same time, but they're separate films in the series. If that makes sense.

Last post by Alex - October 22, 2026, 01:52:16 PMWe had hoped for Kristi to get out of the hospital today. Quite high hopes, but then her haemoglobin started to fall again, so that was cancelled. My mum, sister and little brother came up to see her yesterday and are here til Sunday; then next Friday her mother and little sister come over to visit her. She's looking better though and has been more mobile the past few days so I'll take that as a win.
Ash and me having been watching Halloween movies, one each night after we get back from the hospital. Tonight I put on Halloween and I felt so proud when he saw the mask and went "That's Michael Myers!"
