On the other Sergio tonight. Thank the Gods for @snipsmovies.bsky.social

Revisited this seminal bit of spaghetti superbness tonight. Probably one of the few trilogies in history where the sequels improve on each other…

Deadly Friend: Krueger & the Near-Demise of Wes Craven Wes Craven was never one to rest on his laurels. A creative force who twice redefined the slasher genre, he would earn a reputation as one of horror’s most innovative directors thanks to a se…

#WesCraven's first major studio #movie #DeadlyFriend, released #OTD, bombed thanks to studio interference that changed it from a serious #scifi drama into a Krueger aping #horror

Here's the fascinating story behind a fascinating #film 👇

For those intrigued by Terror Vision’s recent Blu-ray announcement, @snipsmovies.bsky.social gave BLOOD SYMBOL (1992) a pretty thorough going over a few years ago at The Schlock Pit:

Didn’t expect to encounter my favourite vampire themed short story in ages in a Pedro Almodovar short story collection, but there you go…

Dammit look what you made me put on.

Well if you’re in for the full show the very best of luck to you…

Plus his shirt and tie combo tucked into jeans. Mate.

It hurt my eyes a bit.

Love this movie! Saw it on TV when I was 10 with my family when it originally aired. Agree that it still holds up, and I prefer it over the remakes. Tim Curry’s performance still sends chills down my spine.

The newer versions don’t really improve on it all that much and I guess whether you prefer Bill or Tim as the dancing clown is really a matter of personal taste. The final big reveal still makes me wince a bit though. As it did in the newer one…

Richard Thomas' ponytail though.

First thing I noticed and chuckled and I was like, must have been a thing back in 1990, but then I thought nah, that was never a thing. Ever.

My wife & I did the first half this morning and I agree it holds up – Cohen did a strong job making the structure work and Wallace got strong performances out of a strong cast

Yes I agree. It all hangs together very well and given I hadn’t watched it in full for years I was fully expecting it to be way creakier than it turned out to be. Great fun.

Enjoyed revisiting all three hours of this tonight. Holds up remarkably well. Was a personal VHS fave when I was a young lad. Tim Curry is a delight.

Peter Yates directs Robert Redford, in this fine and funny heist movie. William Goldman wrote the script. Quincy Jones composed the ridiculously good score. Quite the difficult film to get your mitts on these days… Thanks to @snipsmovies.bsky.social though, no fuss…

For the Love of the Con: Fast Eddie & The Color of Money The Color of Money doesn’t really feel like a Scorsese movie; his thumbprint is visible, but it doesn’t seem to carry his DNA. Here we have characters that you invest in, that you remem…

A calculated business move by director #MartinScorsese to get the studios back onside after a run of brilliant but unsuccessful #movies, pool shark drama #TheColorofMoney, released #OTD, still hits all the right notes

Here's a look at an #80s classic 👇

Murder by Phone (1982) The horror-through appliances sub-genre was all the rage back in the early 1980s. Once again Steven Spielberg was at the heart of it with Poltergeist, a wildly successful supernatural horror direct…

#Horror through appliances thriller #MurderbyPhone was released #OTD

As ludicrous as it sounds but well worth your time, some of the #movie's murders are pricelessly OTT

I like this but Cult is better imo. I love the setting of Cult.

Probably the best of the rest after the first three…

Easily the worst film I’ve seen this year so far… And yet, despite it’s unapologetic terribleness, I didn’t actually dislike it. I suspect there will be a mainstream film release that gets my back up more than this at some point…

Have to say I do have a bit of a soft spot for Lou Diamond Phillips. Crap aliens, buckets of blood, flip phones and dialogue to make your ears bleed… A fine Monday night in…
