wasn't that an Artisan movie? Those are usually hit or miss. I've seen like one or two from Artisan that were good.

hey guys what about getting an avatar ? :rolleyes:

Plot:
Made 1973
John and Laura Baxter are living in Venice when they meet a pair of elderly sisters, one of whom claims to be psychic. She insists that she sees the spirit of the Baxters' daughter, who recently drowned. Laura is intrigued, but John resists the idea. He, however, seems to have his own psychic flashes, seeing their daughter walk the streets in her red cloak, as well as Laura and the sisters on a funeral gondola.

I have this on DVD. I think it was ruined for me because my friend told me the end of the movie before I had the opportunity to see it, the end, to me, is what gives a movie that edge of being really bad or really great. Everyone has their opinion, you may like it. I didnt, thought it was boring and took too long for anything to really happen. Im a big fan of slasher type movies with a lot of gore, this is more of a psychological thriller in my opinion.

thanks for the plot summary...i enjoy phy. thrillers so i think i might have to check it out.

Squirm, The Incredible Melting Man, Birds of Prey, Oasis of the Zombies and Daddy's Deadly Darling are films to avoid at all costs.

Oh and Psychic Killer.

that movie has nothing to do on the avoid list....if you think someone can enjoy it....dont mention it...try to focus on those realy bad movies...

Irrelevent.

Like I said before "Dont Look Now", I didnt like it. It's a movie I would avoid and its on my list. :)

yw i got it from IMDb.com, its a great site to check out reviews and movie info :)

I know this has nothing to do with the thread but was just giving some info...

Wes Craven's Chiller.

Oh God oh God oh God. What an awful movie. Guy got put in a bodycast by a car goig like 2 mph. It'd be a tough choice for me between this and Jigsaw for worst movie ever.

LOL!!! Good times!

lol@"Chiller". That was made-for-TV crap.

Totally agree with these two, I havent seen the English Patient and will never see it, not my kinda movie. Matrix, dont care either way.

The Village, I did NOT consider this a horror movie. And the assholes on the tv and radio that entire summer were saying "Scariest movie of the year", which I think they say that about every horror movie that comes out. I wanted my money back when that movie was over.

Ninth Gate- when it ended the only thing I said was "what the hell just happened???"

They always say "scariest movie of the year" no matter what it is. It's all about marketing and making money off of main stream crap. And what is the deal with using popular music for movies? I'd rather watch a movie with "horror music", it adds creepiness to the scene.

I'm seeing no sport in disagreeing with you but.....this is not great but watchable...

Yeah, it's watchable, but the movie is as boring as hell.

Anything from Dark Castle. Despize the stuff


p.s. I thought the gate was alright (3/5)

Usually Artisan has a good share of bad movies. Look at "Children Of The Living Dead". York Entertainment is worse than that. But "Dark Castle".... I dunno.... I'll have to look for that name and see what movies are under that name.

what movie did you watch and then question why you watched it.
 

the village made absolutley no sense, but joaquin
phoenix, and bryce howard(ron howard's daughter) were
great in this movie, but it was silly. and halloween 3 season
of the witch, it made no sense cause it wasn't even in the
halloween series. shaun of the dead seems silly, but
haven't watched it yet though.

Re: Movies to avoid...whats your list?
 

I've had a change of heart. In view of the fact of having made a conscious decision to stop watching a film within the first 10 minutes because I knew for a fact it wouldn't have -anything- worthwhile, I basically now think that there is no film that you could possibly be wasting 2 hours of your time for.

Maybe the likes of Van Helsing (a worthwhile educational experience on the lengths a film's distastefulness can go when a filmmaker is given CGI to play with -- hey, that reminds me of Star Wars Episodes 1 thru 3) and Brothers Grimm.

My point is, no matter how bad a film seems to be, something can make me hesitate about pressing Stop, though it may not necessarily have anything to do with the film's merits, no matter how little there may be. For instance, I sat through Undead once...because it was April Fools Day.

Distilled further...any film is worth watching once.

So you've never seen shit like....
"The Day It Came To Earth"---- it started out great though. Mafia guy fucks up a job, gets rubbed out, metor crashes into the lake, revived, and violently kills two people within minutes. After that, it slowed down to 2 MPH and I fell asleep through half of it. The film used was such low quality that thing like a black n white cop car, you could not see any black, car's panels, tires, etc.... or any of the darker colors.
"Disembodied"---- still can't figure WTF the point of that movie was except it dealt with an alien chick and some professor trying to find her. They even had a scene where shit would appear and dissappear on a shelf or roll around using stop-motion? Reminded me of shit of something that you'd see on Sesame Street from the mid 70's.
"The Item"---- talking worm that will infiltrate/destroy the mind of whoever would attempt to keep it captive.... need I say more? :rolleyes:
"Axe em"---- really lame slasher and not wide screen.... a 1 inch black bar "box" around the TV sceen. 15 guys or so and one killer with a small knife. Ran back into the house almost "Scooby-Doo" style. Like they couldn't gang up and beat his ass. Really shitty acting and I shut it off when half of em were screaming directly into the camera.

Kill baby, Kill

what low qaulity boring shit.

Can't be any worse than the crap I've rented. Had I bought the shit movies I've rented, I probably couldn't give half of em away. lol

Re: what movie did you watch and then question why you watched it.
 

You can't put a movie on the "Movies to Avoid" list if you haven't even seen it.

No, I certainly haven't. But I can tell you with absolute certainty that even if my reactions might be undoubtedly similar to yours, I would not regret having seen it...once.

Watched Coffin Joe twice. Slept through the second viewing.
And happily survived two viewings of Beware of the 4D Witch.

lol Believe me, especially when it comes to a shitty movie like "The Item", you would regret watching it cause it'll waste a good 90 minutes of your life. :D Like I said, "a talking worm.... need I say more". :p

Ehhh, I suppose when I think about it I don't regret watching em too much considering how I'd be so compelled to jump into a pit of sharp spikes if I had purchased those movies instead. :D It sucks that the ratio of bad horror movies outweigh the good ones. :(

Off-Season and Chupacabra Terror Are my bottom picks. I can't believe I wasted money renting these.

I forgot about House of the Dead. Why do they have to put Sid Haig in the sequel? Now I have to watch that piece of shit too.

...to me this is underrated...only the 10 last minutes sucks...apart from that its an ok slasher....

Agreed, to some extent. There were quite a few parts that sucked, IMO, but overall it was OK.


I didnt think JC2 was that bad, either. Not nearly as good as the 1st one, but still an enjoyable, mindless hour and a half.

I loved Dreamcatcher, actually. Great movie, better book.

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer sucks, Jeeper Creepers 2 is also bad. Cabin Fever is very boring, except one scene, for which i didn't regret watching it :p

I found "Sleepwalkers" and "Feardotcom watchable...

..have you become more critical since you switched from Maerlyn to Xymphony :p ....anyway why mention "Sleepwalkers" and "Feardotcom" if you think they are watchable ?

...eehhh correction I thought you did the list....:o

Cabin Fever: The very last scene, in the general store, is gold!

I'm glad to hear that you don't regret having seen them. I agree that it is something of a bonus, if you will, that you hadn't bought them. :)

If I can put it in another way (for the last time), I could happily spend a month watching all the little movies in bijouflix than the same amount of time watching the garbage coming out of mainstream these days.

And I would still very much to see that talking worm...

Hmm, you are partially right(about Sleepwalkers&Feardotcom), i forgot what i do now: to quote :p

Fresh nick, fresh thoughts, a more critical eye :P

BTW, Dreamcatcher can be a really enjoyable film for those, who doesn't read the book. But otherwise you get very angry to especially to the ending of the story. But anyway watchable...

lol Okay, than just keep an eye out for "The Item" then. Just don't say you weren't warned. :)

I just watched two horrible movies called "Creature Unknown" and "Detour". Pure crap. I think they're under a movie production company called "The Asylum"?

The Grudge,any of the scream sequels, and Istill know what you did last summer!
