I quit getting EW, so now I don't hear about the cool horror movies (usually indie) that are coming out. Anyone in the know?
I'm still waiting to see this.

I wonder if that house has quicksand in the basement?
Prolly no quicksand in that one.
Cool, I'll add them to my list.
Watched Wishmaster & some of Amityville Horror 2: The Possession during my insomnia last night.
Both terrible, but at least Amityville had Burt Young whooping his entire family with a belt.

There are lots of folks in the comments section of that link you posted kicking Rob Zombie in the nuts for Lords of Salem. That movie for it's budget is beautifully shot and has a certain dark lurking charm.
I have not seen that - gotta check it oot.
Not a huge fan of Devil's Rejects, but enjoyed the role reversal aspect.
House of 1000 Corpses has amazingly bad moments as well as sections of pure genius.
I just wish there was more of a consistency to it.
I have not seen it, though everyone I know who has says that The Babadook is really, really good and extremely scary too.
It's on my list. Watched The Guest tonight. It's been marketed as a horror movie, but it's not. Way more in line with late 80's early 90's scifi, action movies although it does have a good bit of The Hitcher in it. By the You're Next folks. Not nearly as good as that, but still very fun, fast paced with good dialog.
I'm looking forward to seeing The Green Inferno. Eli Roth's homage to the Italian Cannibal movies. I know a lot of people don't like the dude, but Cabin Fever and the Hostels 1 & 2 were my cup of tea.
I HATE that guy.
Him, his movies or both? He does seem like a super douche in interviews, but I like his movies.
Lords of Salem and Devil's Rejects do have great imagery.
And Amityville 2 has not only an irate Burt Young but that sultry sister's nudity.
Never seen Lords Of Salem....dug the Devil's Rejects and House of 1000 Corpses......Halloween was meh, curious about 31.
Also dig Eli Roth's directing and how he's not afraid to admit that he loves horror. The Babadook looks interesting, will have to remember to try and watch it.

"The Green Inferno" sounds intriguing. I'm a super big fan of "Cannibal Holocaust".
What about "Cannibal Ferox"? Also, contrary to what Racer might think, I much prefer the version of Holocaust without the animal killings. I did watch the unedited version once, which was enough.

I've seen Lords of Salem, thought it was so boring that Sherri Moon Zombie's nudity couldn't save it. Not sure if he's done anything since that, but the only movie of his that I liked was Devil's Rejects. I thought House of was OK and his Halloween movies were dogshit.

I'm with you on every count (in the recently watched thread I gave it a
meh, but rewatched Lords of Salem and it had a hook).
looks like that new ben wheatley movie will be coming out this year. stoked for that!
My man! What is up? Still need to watch Kill List and the ABC's of Death. Went to his IMDB page and see that he is in post production on High Rise. Just read that book a few months ago. Very dark.

I love JG Ballard, High Rise is easily one of his most filmable novels, and Kill List is awesome.... Great cast, too. I'm super fucking psyched for it.

Check out
A Field in England. It's a weird existential acid trip of a thing...I'm not really sure what it's "about", but it was definitely an interesting movie to watch.
Watched ABCs of Death. Wheatley's segment was good. There were a few letters that were really good, some were dumb. Overall, worth watching.
Watched Kill List. Really liked it.
[spoiler]Kind of like an updated Wicker Man. Hitman setup was really interesting, didn't quite stick the landing like Wicker Man though. [/spoiler]
RIP Sid Haig :(

It looks terrible. Plus, it's got Nicholas Cage, who is terrible.
I think Die Monster Die is probably better.
He was pretty good in "Mandy" last year, from the same producers... I know, it's hard to believe (I'm not a fan).
A friend of mine showed me this trailer last night, and he was pretty optimistic because of the director. I really don't follow modern horror movies, and I have no clue who the director is, or what he's done. My buddy shares a lot of the same interests in the European 60s-70s stuff that I do, but he's much more tuned into the newer stuff as well. I just think Cage is the worst, and by virtue, anything he's done in the last 25 years is awful. Plus the trailer seemed very cliched. I like the source material a lot, not surprised Hollywood is shitting all over it.
Nic Cage is one of a kind, what he does might not be your thing but nobody else can pull of his specific tyle of megaacting. When used correctly (Mandy, The Bad Lieutenant) he owns
He cried in Mandy (!!!). What B movie actor could have done that?
I do kind of hate him though...sick of seeing him, I guess.
I like him in GHOST RIDER. And Eva Mendes- that chick is adorable.
