Re: Why do you like these movies?

I've seen all of this shit as it came out and thought it all to be horrid then. It amazes me to see actual anticipation over the DVD release of Dead Heat. Now I've enjoyed some lame shit in my day (Deadly Friend, Night of The Comet), but I would really like to understand why anyone likes these flicks listed above. Is it just nostalgia? |
Deep Rising: What's not to love?
Sleepy Hollow: Not a HUGE fan of this flick, but it's decent, imo. Decent performances and it looks GORGEOUS. And ever since I saw the cartoon of the headless horseman, I have been fascinated with that creature. And it has Chris Walken. Well he's actually on a horse
Brian Yuzna: my hate for the reanimator movies is legendary. I have never, ever ever been able to decipher the love for them. Yet I LOVE the original mini series by Lovecraft. I thought that it was pretty creepy and had potential to be a scary movie, but they go for all out comedy and gore effects, with no atmosphere.
The other two are just as bad (but I will say Jeff Combs is the ONE thing I loved about these movies, even if the rest sucked).
However, he did Return of the Living Dead 3, which makes up for ALL the rest of his sucky movies. I love that movie to death....and a trioxin induced reanimation
Lost Boys I LOVE. I love Near Dark too, but it's no where near as much dumb fun as Lost Boys. I loved the whole metaphore of the teen guys who appear to be just trouble makers as vampires. It's all about fun for me, and that's probably why I love this movie
