Re-Animator (1985) starring Jeffrey Combs. With Bruce Abbott, David Gale and Barbara Crampton. It was a very good film.

Pet Sematary 2019 Remake

It was OK, but the original is miles better.

Re-Animator (1985) starring Jeffrey Combs. With Bruce Abbott, David Gale and Barbara Crampton was a very good film.

Bride of Re-Animator was excellent too. Same director also did a horror film called Society, which is awesome.

The original is a good one too, but the special effects are a lot better in the remake and story is still pretty cool.
I don't understand people who always says that original films are better when you know the restriction of the 80's effects. But is ok, everyone is own.

PS. Don't take it personally, but to me Shining is so overrated!

^ I love The Silence Of The Lambs but to me is more a thriller movie than an horror one.
As for Hannibal I was so upset than Jodie Foster didn't play Clarice Starling again.
Another thriller series of film that can maybe suggest like horror movies due to the sadistic and gore scene is SAW.

My contribution from today will be...

Insidious

That old man in chapter 3 was so creepy!

The Fly .. which one is the better one?

The Fly (1958) with David Hedison, Vincent Price, Patricia Owens and Herbert Marshall ..

The Fly (1986) with Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis and John Getz ..

You decide.

The Sentinel novel by Jeffrey Konvitz was very good. Chilling and suspenseful. John Carradine played the blind Father Francis Mathew Halliran in the film. He was the Sentinel.

From The Exorcist (1973), here's Jason Miller as Father Damien Karras, and Linda Blair as Regan MacNeil ..

... with Jason Miller as Father Damien and Ellen Burstyn as Chris MacNeil

... later with Max Von Sydow as Father Lankester Merrin

Here's a very good documentary with William Peter Blatty, William Friedkin and others from the film ..

The Exorcist is a classic, did you also seen The Exorcism Of Emily Rose?
Is also a good one.

The second movie Hannibal (2001) had The Silence of the Lambs director, Jonathan Demme leave. He wasn't happy with both producer Dino De Laurentiis (who both he and his wife Martha De Laurentiis owned the rights to the Hannibal Lecter character) or with Thomas Harris the author. Demme wanted a quick follow-up. However, Harris took his time in writing Hannibal. Seven or eight years. So he did not want to take part in its sequel and adaption. It also had the The Silence of the Lambs screenwriter Ted Lally not want to be associated with it either. And then Jodie Foster, who had won the Academy Award as Best Actress from it, did not want to be in as well.

Jodie Foster didn't feel comfortable with the David Mamet / Stephen Zallian screenplay. She read the entire script. She also read the novel. She objected to Ridley Scott about Giancarlo Giannini's (as Chief Inspector Rinaldo Pazzi) disembowelment/hanging/death scene in the Piazza Veccio in Florence. Then she complained to Ridley Scott about the three scenes in Ray Liotta's (Deputy Attorney General Paul Krendler) house that she would do with Anthony Hopkins. She thought that they were disturbing. And especially the way Krendler would be killed. She said from the outset that if the script was too violet or gory that she would decline. She also said that the Mamet /Zallian screenplay was quite different than the Thomas Harris novel. But Ridley Scott wasn't about to have any changes made to the script or to the scenes. So she called CAA, her representatives, and said no to the offer.
