What's the last movie you've seen?

On Friday I watched the 2014 movie Late Phases by Adri?n Garc?a Bogliano. Not the best movie out there, but not the worst either. I liked it overall, but there were some things about it that just don't really work and/or make sense plotwise. The werewolf's face design doesn't seem sufficiently canine enough and some people have compared it more to a bat's face, but the overall body design works well enough. While I came out of it more positive than negative, it seems like it's a close split between which won out in the end. With some tweaks here and there it could probably be an overall good film though.

On Saturday night, I watched the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead that Tom Savini directed. I thought it was pretty good. The original from 1968 is a classic and is superior to me for a number of reasons, but I'd say this was a decent remake.

On Sunday, after hearing it mentioned in the Are You Afraid of the Dark? reboot that was brought to my attention in this other thread, I decided to revisit the film 1980 film The Changeling by Peter Medak since it had been a few years since I last watched it. I'm glad I revisited it and refreshed my memory, it's a great movie and was a fantastic choice for them to reference in the show since it's not too extreme for younger viewers but is still entertaining for all ages.

Tonight, I decided to watch the 1987 movie Creepshow 2 by Michael Gornick. While the original Creepshow from 1982 is significantly better in my opinion, I did enjoy Creepshow 2 for what it was and am glad to have finally sated my curiosity.

On Tuesday I decided to watch Rob Zombie's newest movie, 3 From Hell. It has seemed quite polarizing among his fans, because the ending of The Devil's Rejects was great and had a sense of finality to it such that a sequel would be both nonsensical and unnecessary. By all logic, the characters should be dead. So I wanted to see for myself where I would fall, whether it be on the side that enjoyed it or the side that disliked it.

After seeing it, I am solidly in the middle. I enjoyed 3 From Hell for what it was, but it does come across as unnecessary. It probably would have still came across as unnecessary even if the original plans were possible and Sid Haig (rest in peace) was in good enough health that he could've performed his intended more major role, but unfortunately we'll never know what the movie could have been. The movie we ended up getting feels a bit aimless, and I can totally understand why some people hate it, but I also understand that that sort of thing can happen when a script has to be rewritten a couple weeks before filming is scheduled to start. It feels like there has to be another sequel in the series in the future, this doesn't seem like a suitable end now that the characters have been brought back and a new main one was introduced. Even so, The Devil's Rejects will be hard to top, so here's hoping for the best if another sequel does end up happening.

On Wednesday, I rewatched the 2003 film House of 1000 Corpses for the first time in a number of years. I had intended to watch House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects before watching 3 From Hell on Tuesday, but I couldn't locate my copy at the time. It's definitely not the best movie out there, but it's not entirely terrible and it's worth watching at the very least to have context for the fantastic The Devil's Rejects afterward.

I also watched the 1972 Italian giallo movie Tutti I Colori del Buio (the English title being All the Colors of the Dark) by Sergio Martino. Another movie I found browsing Shudder. Not the greatest, but fun and interesting.

Yesterday, I rewatched the 1987 giallo movie Opera by Dario Argento. Seen it a few times in the past few years and consider it one of his better films.

I also rewatched the 2005 movie The Devil's Rejects, continuing the now obvious trend of the past few days. Still great, definitely Zombie's best movie to this day. Wish I could've found my copies before watching 3 From Hell back on Tuesday so my series revisit wasn't so scattered, but eh. Glad to revisit it anyhow.
 
Supersize Me on youtube. There was a really funny segment where he was having kids identify brands mascots along with important figures, and one child guessed incorrecly JESUS was George W. Bush LOL
 
Last movie I saw was How to Train Your Dragon (The one with the White Fury in it!) I was watching it with my boyfriend on the flight back home! It was such a cute movie hahaha! It was like a 5-6 hour flight back home, so I ended up watching like 3 movies during that flight. I cried during one of the movie because it was so touching ; __ ; It was a Japanese movie, but I forgot the name of it ahhhh
 
Maleficent 2.

It was okay :3 I wasn't too intrigued, but then again I haven't watched the first movie, so I missed out on some stuff.

Promare from Trigger

I watched it 4 times in theaters with friends, and now I'm waiting for the Blu-ray/DVD to come out :D
 
My bf and I watched Not Another Teen Movie and it was actually funnier than I expected.
 
The Perfection on Netflix. It has like four plot twists and they all work very well.
 
Something on Foxtel last night.

Incident in Ghostland.

I couldn't watch it all. It made me feel totally creeped out. Not in a scary sense, more of a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Never had a movie really do that.

At various points throughout the weekend, I watched:

The 1928 silent movie The Man Who Laughs by Paul Leni. Not horror and doesn't really fit my October horror movie marathon, but eh. It was my first time watching it, and I enjoyed it.

The 1984 movie A Nightmare on Elm Street by Wes Craven. Seen it a number of times over the years. Definitely the best one in the series, even with that weird ending. Great, memorable lines and scenes. I'm not sure whether I prefer this or the original Halloween when it comes to the big three classic slashers, but I definitely find Freddy Krueger the best when compared to Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees. The concept is really interesting, has some basis in actual events that Wes read about, and Freddy's powers allow for a lot of creativity. It's a shame that most of the sequels aren't so great and that it got a bad remake, but their flaws and foibles don't mar the original's legacy for me.

The 1987 movie A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors by Chuck Russell. One of if not the only sequels in the Nightmare on Elm Street series worth watching, due probably in no small part to Wes Craven being involved again with the screenplay. Entertaining, nice end credit theme song.

The 1994 movie Wes Craven's New Nightmare. It was my first time watching this one, never gave it a chance up to this point. It's a neat concept and there are things to like about it, enough that I'd probably say I lean more toward having had a positive experience than a negative one, but it's got its faults. The Freddy death near the end looks especially terrible, but I guess it's sort of to be expected because he had very few actually good death scenes throughout the series.

The 1983 movie The Dead Zone by David Cronenberg, based off the novel of the same name by Stephen King. Never read the novel as of yet, and apparently it strays a bit from it from what I've heard, but for what it's worth this is one of the better movies based on a Stephen King story. This was another rewatch, I'd seen it a number of years ago but wanted to revisit it. Still stands up as a good movie, and that one scene with the scissors is especially memorable.

On Monday I watched:

The Fly, both the 1958 original by Kurt Neumann and the 1985 remake by David Cronenberg. Had seen them both before in the past but felt like revisiting them. They're both great movies in their own ways and I find them both very entertaining.

On Tuesday I watched :


The 1981 movies The Howling by Joe Dante, and An American Werewolf in London by John Landis. Figured since I sort of got into following themes in the past few days, I might as well continue it. Again, they're some more movies I felt like revisiting, and a pair of some of the best werewolf movies out there.

I recently bought A Nightmare on Elm Street 7 movie collection, and the triple feature that has Freddy vs Jason, Friday the 13th Killer Cut, and A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010, plus Friday the 13th 8 movie collection, and to complete it, Jason Goes to Hell and Jason X (from Brazil blu ray).

I watched them all. :D
 
Igor. For some reason, the whole thing popped up on YouTube, and we didn't bother changing it, so we ended up watching it all.
 
Not sure I already posted here.. however,
I watched "Joker" and it's one of my favorite movies now.
It's just sooooo gooooood and the actor did perfect!! <3
 
The last movie that I watched was The Phantom of the Opera on Netflix.
 
Pet Semetary. The original version. I enjoyed it, but I feel like I need to read the book because I’m sure it’s better.

Also watched Frankenweenie which was cute!
