B-Movie HoF II: The Sequel!

Alright, phew. Cuz i was about to quit the world wide web for good.

Honestly though, concerning quality, i wish everyone in these hofs had access to 4k scans of every title. Ive hated movies until i’d seen them in hd. I know that may sound superficial but its like night and day sometimes, the experience. Im not saying hunters blood would make people insta fans on blu ray. Silly is silly. But, in relation to something like The Child, im almost sure i would have dug that more had i access to a better print of it. Something aesthetically significant deserves presentation unfettered by unsightly digital artifacting.

I guess reading your review, it seems you didnt think highly of the films.

I, myself, enjoy any gore film involving sacfices to a God.

The Wicker Man (1973) is one of my #1 films. Two films hold my #1 spot within the English Speaking films.

Yeah, I guess it's just my tendency to focus on the negative. Still, both of those reviews explicitly say that the films are close to being good (really good in the case of November). I totally get that my write-ups can seem more negative than they actually are which is a reason I've been adding those "close to being good" things in some of them lately. I just find it easier to complain than praise

Also I have to emphasize that "close to good" doesn't mean it's bad. It's bad - OK - good scale I'm referring to with OK ranging from 2 to 3 popcorn.

blah blah blah it's pretty hard to respect someone who only seems to enjoy a fairly myopic and limited view of cinema. I don't know if this is attention seeking or your part that you need to stand out from a crowd by being the negative guy. It would be one thing if you had great recommendations but you don't, often times your noms come in at the bottom of the class so my issue with you is why are you wasting our time?


So thank you for sucking the joy out of the B-Movie hall of fame.

Looks like im better than siddon. Phew!!

Its part II: The Sequel.

Lol

Siddon, you're the only person fussing here in this HoF. So what's this all about anyway? Is it that PahaK didn't like one of your movies? So what...I seem to recall you hating movies that were great in my book. And I've hated movies that other people loved. The only thing we're required to do is to give an honest opinion on the movies and be civil about it.

Funny how the guy who gives negative reviews to everyone has given positive reviews to your last two noms.



I just listed my reasons I mean I have more, but shock of shockers you didn't read it.


Also I don't have an issue with people disliking movies, I have an issue with someone complaining about 80-90% of the noms(which I've never done). I'm giving my time and energy to this site I expect at the very least honest reviews, but if someone is posting as a gimmick or a sock puppet for another poster than you are wasting my time and I have an issue with that.

Good grief What you wrote smacks of sour grapes. Pahak is consistent in what he likes and what he dislikes. I trust him that he's fair, he has often not liked my movies. But now I suppose I have to prove how silly a claim of favoritism is.

This is PahaK's voting results for the 3 HoFs that he has finished, quoted from his own post. I typed our names next to our movie noms.

1930s HoF Part 2

@pahaK, I will say that I did not agree with your opinion that Hunter's Blood had horrible acting and writing. I think the acting is what made the movie stand head and shoulders above another movie of this kind (we know how those go - they're incomprehensible). So at least HB laid it out comfortably with dialog that drove the story and built the characters, which is another rarity. I think the script was a Deliverance knock-off but aside from that, it is its own universe completely and takes it further in some ways, namely the gore and suspense (thank God not the sodomy!).

This is a case where I feel that quality of presentation plays a part. If I'm watching something (of course I can only speak from experience , which could come off snobby), it has to be looking good so I can invest in it. If it looks ****e then I kind of tune out and become labored and annoyed.

I'm not saying this is what happened to you, I may only be lightly suggesting it played a part. Then again, you say you like VHS dupes so that probably isn't it.

But yeah, man. Totally disagree on Hunter's Blood with you. I think it's a classic in every sense and very funny, mostly unintentional.

I had to get that off of my chest.

I'm all for some healthy debate. Actually, that's been missing from this Hof. But other stuff like personal stuff, not at all. That's never missing. I mean, it's usually there, but no one is missing it. Though I do feed into a few members' antics here and there, and create my own. Not too sorry for that, though.

I'm not bothered by bad A/V quality as long as the dialogue is clearly audible (even that doesn't matter if there are subs).

Unintentional comedy is really hit & miss with me (and as you might expect with some leaning towards the miss). There were some funny lines in Hunter's Blood but it just kept hammering the same message over and over (arrogant city boys, stupid rednecks, rinse and repeat) becoming really awkward.

But hey, it's fine to have different tastes. All my reviews are completely In My Honest Opinion so no one else has to agree with them. And just to make it absolutely clear I review every single film based solely on its subjective entertainment value - I don't care whether others like a film or not and I'm definitely not going to adjust my scores to better fit in or pamper someone (not you, btw) who can't handle differing opinions.

I'm just fooling around haha! I couldn't resist!

Meanwhile. . .


Watched Night of the Creeps, and enjoyed it, and will get a review up sometime this weekend.

I'll force myself to get to that this weekend.

Night of the Creeps

This is one of those B flicks I really should have seen back in the day and pretty sure I would have fully enjoyed it at the time.
Not to say I didn't at this late stage, I really did. The sarcasm, the pithy side remarks, especially by the real star of the show, the burnt out detective still broken up from seeing his slaughtered girlfriend with some of the best lines of the film. "Thrill me." Classic.
There was a lot of funny scenes and spoofing of 50s horror films as well as horror films in general. Hell, even the alien ship in the beginning looked pretty snazzy.
I think my one and only complaint in this movie is Chris. To be honest, Cynthia would have done better with JC in my opinion, but that's a very minor nitpick for a very fun and enjoyable flick.

Annnnd BUMP

I need to finish this one up soon.
