Okay, who has seen them? - Page 2

This thread is making me want to find out what happened after two of my favorite junior high, late-nite-on-pay-cable pics, in
Warlock: The Armageddon
Warlock III: The End of Innocence (although minus Julian Sands how good can it be?)

and

Witchboard 2: The Devil's Doorway (although minus Tawny Kitaen how good can it be?) and
Witchboard III: The Possession (apparently they switched to roman numerals for some reason?)

Anyone?

I actually liked The Prophecy for what it was. Are the others any good (in other words, is Walken in them for more than a scene)?

I'd take that bet in a heartbeat if I had the opportunity. I'd need two large Meat lover's pizzas, a Lazy-boy recliner, 3 cases of either Rolling Rock or Harp lager, smelling salts and a family sized bag of Fritos Scoops.

I could take breaks to nap, right? Damn, I hate missing out on an easy thirteen hundred.

I bow to the superior Herbie fan. How soon we forget...

Okay, maybe not $1,300... but $650, for sure.

Anybody seen ALL the Crow films?

The Crow (1994)
The Crow: City of Angels (1996)
The Crow: Salvation (2000)
The Crow: Wicked Prayer (2005)

Dennis Hopper is in that last one, which is kinda "huh?"

And, also, the "The Crow: Stairway to Heaven" series starring the one-and-only Mark Dacascos.

Dollman vs. demonic toys was a different animal all together. It tied together all of the loose non-series Full Moon Entertainment movies into a wired comedy \ action \ thriller (lets face it, not that scary) staring the then fantastic Tim Thomerson (Think Bruce Campbell's TV dad). It tied together Dollman (Thomerson); about an alien cop who chases a bad guy into a worm hole and arrives on Earth only to discover that they're much smaller than us Earthlings (but they look just like us and know most of our pop culture phrases!); Bad Channels, which featured an Alien taking over a radio station (or TV station, it's been a while) and shrinking humans into a jar presumably for transportation to another planet, of course, we win but the sexy nurse stays shrunk (thus, she's Thomersons girl in Dollman v Demonic Toys); and then of course you have the Demonic Toys, which was a pretty decent rip off of thier established Puppet Master series. Overall it was a good film for a B movie, Thomerson really sells it.

Aside from the entire Witchcraft series, which I kinda thought was more softcore porn than b-rate horror \ comedy films, I've seen every single movie and sequel mentioned on this list.

Edit --

Lets not forget the gold gem of the B-movie series Trancers!

Trancers II (1991)
Trancers III (1992) (V)
Trancers 4: Jack of Swords (1994) (V)
Trancers 5: Sudden Deth (1994) (V)
Pulse Pounders (2002)
Trancers 6

and I'll throw in this little gem of a moive that I watched a couple years back

Evil Bong

which also tied together several Full Moon characters in a dark comedy with a $1000 budget.

The original Curse was a cool little movie. It had Wil Wheaton from Star Trek: The Next Generation as the lead kid, a few recognizable faces (at the time) and a decent plot. The beginning of the movie doesn't really gel with the rest of the movie but overall it was a good experience as long as you're not on a diet and eating vegetables. I don't recommend eating vegetables before, during or after this movie.

Curse II was surmised, nothing like the first one other than there was a "curse" the whole driving over snakes thing was a little creepy, worth a laugh.

Curse III was a steaming pile of shit, no scares, no laughs, you just kinda stare at the screen and wonder what you're doing with your life. This movie killed the series.

It's no HOWLING 3.

Nothing really compares to Howling III: The Marsupials.

Is that the one where a giant werewolf head comes out of (or into) a tent?

My own little "reviews"........


The Howling - An absolute classic!
The Howling II: Your Sister Is A Werewolf - Schlocky, but entertaining at times from what I remember. Haven't seen it in a long time.
The Howling III: The Marsupials - An absolute cheesefest from start to finish with a weird sense of humor, but worth seeing for the sheer laughter it induces.
The Howling IV: The Original Nightmare - Awful retread of the original that follows the book a little more closely. Don't waste your time.
The Howling V - Don't remember too much about this one, other than that it was alright (at least compared to most of the others in the series). A group of people are stuck in a castle and one of them is a werewolf.
The Howling VI: The Freaks - An entertaining misfire that doesn't really tonally (or conceptually) fit with the rest of the series. Has more of a "Wolf Man"-esque design to the werewolf, who is actually the hero of the piece. Has a "Nosferatu"-esque vampire for a villain (played by C-grade fun baddie Bruce Payne).
The Howling VII: New Moon Rising - The absolute worst in the series. Horrible from start to finish and the actual werewolf at the end looks like a hand-puppet on a model set. Avoid!


Overall, none of them ever come close at all to touching the original. The second and sixth ones are interesting and worth checking out. Parts three and five aren't that bad either really. Just skip four and seven unless you really want to punish yourself. I'll still never understand how they made so many bad/lackluster sequels to Dante's classic. It just astounds me. Why is it so hard to make a decent werewolf movie? We get a good one every few years, but not nearly as many as we should. If they ever reboot this franchise, I just hope they put some effort into their new installments and make a good series for once.





Hellraiser - Classic!
Hellbound: Hellraiser II - Classic!
Hellraiser III: Hell On Earth - Solid sequel, but turns Pinhead into a pseudo-Freddy Krueger wannabe for half the picture.
Hellraiser: Bloodline - A mess, but an interesting one. If an actual director's cut is ever released, it would probably improve things.
Hellraiser: Inferno - Everyone rags on this one (including Clive Barker), but I think it fits in nicely with the tone of the original few films (as well as the original novella). Not as good as the first three, but certainly better than the other sequels. In fact, I think that the only reason this one receives so much hate is BECAUSE of Barker's comments, who was pissed because they made it without his input. Barker has bothered to comment on the ones beyond this one, which is why there is less hatred spewed about them, I guess.
Hellraiser: Hellseeker - A boring retread of the fifth film, with random Ashley Laurence scenes thrown in for the hell of it. Talk about a waste of her character's return to the series.
Hellraiser: Deader - Better than the previous one, but still not that good.
Hellraiser: Hellworld - Worst installment to date. Devoid of originality and no one seems to be trying, outside of Bradley and Henriksen. No wonder they're remaking the original, as the series really couldn't sink any lower at this point.

YES! He gets blasted with a bazooka!

Not to mention:

• An animated Lycanthropic-Aboriginal corpse
• Werewolf nuns
• A chestburster-homage fever dream
• A werewolf ballerina
• A suckling marsupial werewolf pup
• Etc

From the director of Walken's COMMUNION and the Troma-distributed PTERODACYL WOMAN OF BEVERLY HILLS, Philippe "he was just cutting his Werewolf Flick teeth on the inferior HOWLING 2" Mora.

It's like the Death Wish 3 of werewolf movies. I've also seen all the Death Wish movies.

Seen all the puppet master movies (yup, all 9)

Toulon's Revenge is actually a movie that I really liked. I was shocked when I watched it....shocked, I tell you...when it didn't bite the wang.

The others...well....mostly, they did. But what the hell, right?

Oh, yes, someone has. Even the series. I bought the DVD of Wicked Prayer. It's not good, but it's not that bad considering the rest of the sequels. It's actually a pretty decent take of the basic Crow plot, but you know, it's just not good. Hopper plays something like a Satanist pimp.

I'm also pretty sure I've seen all of the Children of the Corn. I liked III.

I've seen all of the Ghoulies. Ghoulies IV is an embarrassment, truly fucking shameful. Dwarfs dressed up as Ghoulies, and they talk, and they cut in scenes from previous movies....

I've seen all Warlocks. Just watch the first two.

You have got to see the first Watchers. If you've seen any of these other movies in this thread you need to check it out. It's just a crazy 80's type movie, it has Michael Ironside, and Corey Haim (that gets all MacGuyver at the end). And a cameo of Jason Priestly as 'boy on bike'.
