[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Acting is, let's say, uneven, but not the worst at all tbh. As a film, it just works like.

Extraction - Thin on plot (predictable twists and all) but the action is fantastic at times. Ubiquitous sequel on the way, of course.

I agree, it's grand and I loved it as a chap.

Had it on with the young lad last year as well but he couldn't make head nor tail of it on account of the accents.

Original hellraiser, hard to beat

Also watched, freaked. Dumbest movie I've seen in a while, good craic tho

I love the first few Hellraiser movies. The series was recommended to me by a workmate this morning. I'll definitely check that out.

Watched the new Hellraiser. It's getting slated but it's not that bad. A reboot rather than a sequel, the cenobites are redesigned (instead of wearing leather their skin is peeled and stretched into their costumes) but have no real character, even Pinhead is pretty bland. Some generic gore, no real jump scares to speak of. About a half hour too long but it passed the time harmlessly enough.

First 2 Hellraisers are all time favourites for me, but I can absolutely see how and why they seem tame and dated to a younger audience. I'd agree with Carnage on the remake.  Its ok. It speaks volumes  on how poor the series has been since HR3 that this unremarkable film is the best one since the original 2.

Watched a shit tonne recently including a couple of reccomended found footage horrors.

Hell House - meh
Be My Cat - Actually very good for what it is. All made by one guy in the same light as a film like Creep. Worth a watch on youtube.
Gonjiam Asylum - Enjoyed this one, had its moments. Standard found footage but done well imo.

Other than that, threw on the first Terrifier to coincide with the sequel that came out, was shite but also fun. I liked the  clown fella but rest is amateur.

I agree there. It was decent, not amazing like. The first 3 are where its at even if they have dated. I watched them all in order a few years ago and you can really see the decline in budget and ideas as they go on. There are still cool moments in the 4th 5th and 6th movies. After that they really are just B movies you'd only want to watch at 4 in the morning or something ha ha

Thought the new Hellraiser was pretty shite, to be honest.

Halloween Ends was a total letdown as well.

[hellfire]

I stopped watching modern reinterpretations of classic films a while ago. Remaking the A-Team without Mr T genuinely hurt my feelings.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

One I'd never seen before tonight, Quills. A story about, rather than the story of (one of the many good things about it as a film), the Marquis de Sade. Starring Geoffrey Rush, Kate Winslet, Joaquin Phoenix, and Michael Caine. Couple of elements not as strong as others, but when it's good it's really good.

New Jeepers Creepers... absolute muck!
Had to turn it off it was so shite.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

The first one wasn't exactly great either.

[jobrok1]

True! But it was watchable, at least.

I like monster and slasher flicks in the run up to Halloween. This year's pickings have been terrible so far.

Any recommendations are welcome

I tend to just rewatch a lot of the classics or stuff I've seen before, haven't been keeping up with the new stuff the last few years. Last few weeks I've gone through Them (Romanian one), Dog Soldiers, Outpost, Eden Lake, The Descent, Exorcist 3, Event Horizon, Tokyo Gore Police, Machine Girl, Hardware. All worth a watch if you haven't seen any of them
