Quoted from Tony Hughes FISH TANK with Michael Fassbender. Check it out.

Yo!  Second!

This film has the most peculiar distinction of having had a theatre release in 4:3, also known as the AWESOMEST FORMAT EVER.  So cool!  And the film's a great one; the perfect followup to director Arnold's Oscar-winning short Wasp.  Fassbender dependable and newcomer Jarvis a winning casting choice.

Quoted from Baltis. The Baby (1973)  watch it... shower afterwards.

Good recommendation, Balt.  Just watched it.  Creepo 70s schlock at its finest.  I have to admit, that ending caught me off guard.

I watched Pontypool the other night, as it came up in my recommended section.  

It had a pretty interesting thing going on, certainly different than the norm for the genre, or at least what it most closely resembles in terms of genre.

If nothing else, it's a good illustration of turning out something decent with limited characters/locations.

DOGHOUSE - brit indy horror film... 6 guys go on a getaway from their wives to have a racous time and find all their women in their retreat are man-eating zombie like cannibals.... gorey, campy, and pretty freakin funny

I don't have Netflix, can't get it in Australia but I have to say this was a horrible movie! I liked Severance so went into this with some hope but came away do so disappointed. What happened to Danny Dyer? Those glory days of The Football Factory forgotten.

Yeah, Doghouse was strictly for the dogs.  I couldn't get more than 15 minutes into it before I said, "Fuck this".

Quoted from Dreamscale Yeah, Doghouse was strictly for the dogs.  I couldn't get more than 15 minutes into it before I said, "Fuck this".

Actually think you're being a bit harsh on dogs. I think they've even got better taste in movies than this!

oh come on that movies hilarious!

and dreamscale doesnt count -  hates every movie,

Yeah, don't count me.  Penny is the movie expert.

Quoted from CoopBazinga I don't have Netflix, can't get it in Australia ...

Coop, hot tip:

Quickflix - Oz's version of Netflix. Most of the movies these guys are mentioning are available on it.

im hardly one to judge..... i love way too many b-movies..

plus ive noticed most of these "best picture" noms the last few years - ive either never heard of before..or they bored me to tears when i saw them.


so if i say a movie is good or it sucked... you should probably figure the opposite.

Agreed, I thought 'Dog House' was one of the worst films I've ever seen. It was ridiculous throughout and made no sense by the end.

Coop, I also liked 'Severance' and 'The Cottage', in fact it was these movies that inspired me to write 'Pub Lunch'. I actually wrote the 'Mozza' character with Danny Dyer in mind lol.

Quoted from Penoyer79 oh come on that movies hilarious!

Maybe we're thinking of different movies then!

Thanks for the tip, Libby. I'll check it out.

Have to say that I pictured Danny Dyer in one of the roles in Pub Lunch.

Some people have been starting new threads for these films as they watch them, and that is cool if you are going for a full-on review.  I prefer the bite-size batches, listed alphabetically here:

Dark Side of the Moon:  It says this was made in 1990, but this is pure 1980's cheese all the way -- from the "futuristic" computers that would find themselves in a dumpster today, to the MacGyver hair, to the ridiculously huge set that allegedly represents the Space Shuttle Discovery.  The plot is loopy nonsense somehow linked to the Bermuda Triangle (?), and I was surprised to learn that the guy who plays Tyrell in "Blade Runner" was actually a pretty crappy actor. Who knew?  I kind of dug this film for the throw-back factor -- so this is good for the I-love-the-80's crowd -- but apart from that, it is not a very good film.

Hellraiser:  Revelations:  Make no mistake, this film is dreadful -- apparently this was cobbled together to meet some kind of contractual obligations.  PinHead is played by another guy.  Having said all that, however, I admit that I did not really despise it.  I always watch these Hellraiser films for some reason, and you know, the last few seemed to have nothing to do with much of anything.  At least this one tried to adhere to the mythos set up in the first couple of films.  I think maybe the writer was a fan (looking at his IMDB) who was really trying --  but he just got undermined by a team that really did not care all that much. This one is for the completist fans of the series, but is obviously far from the film fans of the franchise have been waiting for.

Heartless:  This is one of the good ones you have never heard of.  A bit of a "Jacob's Ladder" vibe to it -- maybe a bit of "Donnie Darko" -- but different enough that making these comparisons is not really much of a spoiler.  It is a Brit film, so sometimes the dialogue was a bit tough for my Western ears to catch all of it, but the visuals were strong enough that I had no problem getting the gist of things.  A really twisty plot that keeps shooting off in unexpected directions keeps you going to the end.  Good acting with oddly unique characters.  I rank this one a solid 8 out of 10.

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil: This has been reviewed elsewhere, but I see it is on streaming now.  There are simply no excuses for slasher fans not to see this upending of the genre.  Could have been funnier, I think, but still pretty funny.  Check it out, for sure.

The Shrine: This might have been a Dreamscale pick, and it is a pretty solid genre piece.  It takes a little time to get going, but good pace once it does, with some nice, late reveals that help to pull the story together in a very satisfying fashion.  A good, demonic ghost story, worth the watch.

Undocumented:  I know this one is a Dreamscale pick -- and the man gushed.  At the risk of incurring his wrath, I was less impressed.  This film is making a statement -- make no mistake -- but there is so little subtlety here that outrage is replaced with eye-rolling.  At least from my couch it was.  It had its intriguing moments, and is not a poor film by any means, but I felt spoon-fed when all was said and done.  A half-baked "Hostel" that loses its way in over-the-top rhetoric.

Hey Bert, here's my quick assessment of the ones I've seen that you just listed.

Hellraiser:  Revelations - terrible, but as you said, not as bad as many made it out to be.  Pinhead looks hilarious, and the "plot", if you want to call it that, is awful.

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil - Damn, I tried...I honestly did...on several occasions.  Couldn't get through it.  Definitely not my cup of tea.  I hated it and the more whacky it got, the more I hated it.

The Shrine - Nope, didn't like it at all.  It looked like it was going to rock, but it didn't do anything for me at all.  I was quite disappointed.

Undocumented - Loved it!  Absolutely thought it was kickass in every way.
