Now this was more like it. Far better than those mediocre 70s efforts. Although laughable, the whole atmosphere here is much more enticing. I enjoy the style.
First Lee Dracula film I saw on television as a kid. I still love it!
I'm a huge horror fan, but there's not a single horror classic such as these Dracula movies/those old 30's monster movies that I've gotten to see, sans the original Nosferatu, which I adore. I need to change that eventually.
Definitely watch the Hammer: Draculas same with the Hammer: Frankensteins, if you haven't seen those either.
A film i always tend to watch near or at Christmas.
Roman Polanskis horror spoof is great entertainment. He stars himself and the unique Jack MacGowan as the vampire hunters chasing Ferdy Mayne and his cohorts in Transylvania.
Great production values (Douglas Slocome on lensing duties) and good score , full of memorable set pieces and a chillingly funny final scene. Always a good watch!
I think it was titled "The Fearless Vampire Killers" here in the States. Yeah, fun watch for sure.
Good point. Standard DVD is the way to go for these films. I'd even go as far to say the special effects, particularly in SCARS OF DRACULA looked better on VHS.
The color timing on the DVD's is excellent as well.
There are a few moments of levity in WAR though it is dark and brutal, after finishing the third film today I immediately thought I need to watch all three films back to back. WAR certainly was full of strong religious themes and allegory, I think it's a film I will enjoy more with repeat viewing. Reeves visuals are impressive and I have high hopes for his take on Batman, though WAR needed a tighter edit in some area's, I wish Reeves good luck with how DC Warner operate.
That's why I never trust IMDB scores. The movie's not even close to being out so why voting is available on it is beyond me.
As for Brawl in Cell Block 99, I'd say it made my Top 5 of the year. Just under three weeks until this bad boy is on 4K and I can rewatch it endlessly.
Also, Brawl in Cell Block 99 is in my Top 5 for this year, too.
That's IMDB for you. Say, for example, a new DC movie is releasing: the die-hard DC camp will immediately give the film a 10-star rating as soon as voting goes live, and those who loathe DC immediately drop it a 1-star without seeing it. They should just scrub the rating system in general, it's skewed across the board.
Glad it made your Top 5, too! I'll be enjoying the hell out of it as I await Zahler's Dragged Across Concrete. I need to rewatch Bone Tomahawk too, because I recall so very little from it.
I like the man primarily for how well he made Let Me In, a more than serviceable remake of a great film.
I've only seen Cloverfield (enjoyed the marketing and hype more than the finished product) and that one you mentioned, and I really enjoyed it. I've still yet to see the original so I can't compare them both, but I went in knowing it was a remake and thought it was very solid and moody overall.
Had to check out his filmography on IMDB, and I never knew until now he wrote Under Siege II back in the 90's!
My film of the year. Wow, I wish I'd seen this on the big screen. Incredible filmmaking from one the best director's around.
Loved the way the 3 narratives combine near the end and I found this a profoundly emotional experience. I couldn't talk after I saw it I was so choked up.
Nice to see a British film that celebrates it's countries heroism in war. Nolan celebrates the heroism of ordinary people in all its forms.
Stunning achievement.
The second-newest one was the last installment I saw - went with my buddy to see it in theaters for his sister's birthday, nearly fell asleep several times throughout. I'll assume the new one is just as bad.
It's appalling even though I have spent money I refuse to watch part 5, no effort has been made by the film makers. I am glad the box office numbers are dropping. I am watching DAF instead
That bad ehh? The fourth one's sole highlight for me was Ian McShane appearing, but this new one just looks bad. Nice to see Bardem hamming it up, looks like he's having fun in this one, but the one trailer I saw looked like it had nothing on offer.
DAF is an infinitely better choice.
"Speak up, darling, I can't hear you."
I own the first four films I like McShane though his film was shocking, look for Lovejoy online great series with McShane
Diamonds... script is underrated
I smirk anytime I hear of that show - it's my last name, never in a million years would I have assumed it'd be a TV title until I saw it. He seems pretty dapper in it.
