I'm insanely ahead of schedule (currently at 268 movies) but I just started then stopped about a dozen different movies because they were just too terrible to continue. Maybe I should give myself a brief hiatus.

Here's what I've watched so far listed roughly in order of favorite to least favorite.

https://letterboxd.com/brettmpeter/list/horror-films-watched-in-2019-im-a-masochist/

Some recent ones I've watched that I generally enjoyed that I didn't see on your list:

Return to Horror High
Cheerleader Camp *
Hide and Go Shriek *
Sweet Sixteen
New Year's Evil
Uncle Sam *
Next of Kin *
Murder by Phone *

I could upload the titles with * if you would like, the other ones I watched via streaming services

by **jalapeño ranch** » Sun Jul 14, 2019 4:29 pm

Any of Cheerleader Camp, Hide and Go Shriek, Uncle Sam, and Murder by Phone would be great!

I love Next of Kin, I've been meaning to rewatch it but I'm pretty sure it's on Shudder.

by **Peter Criss** » Sun Jul 14, 2019 6:01 pm

Awesome, and I just remembered that I actually grabbed Uncle Sam from the db, it's in the shitflix folder. I'll up the others tonight.

Next of Kin really is incredible, I'd been meaning to see it for ages and it totally delivered.

Oh wow, this movie is so ridiculous and entertaining.

blood rage is great. have to admit, when i watched it a few years ago, i kept getting confused between todd and terry and wasn't 100% sure what happened at the end. it was cool tho. enjoyed it a lot. i liked how even tho todd had the blood rage and was killing everyone he was actually a pretty fun lovin' and right-on guy

yeah i just watched this and this movie's tone is all over the place in the best way. like those extended scenes of louise lasser sobbing on the phone looking for her boyfriend are honestly affecting, plus *that* ending. wasn't even shocked to find out this is from the same guy who wrote jacob's ladder.

that certainly looks like what i'd expect.

i don't really like any of rob zombie's movies and i doubt i'll watch that

by **Ampersand** » Mon Jul 15, 2019 2:47 pm

I'd rather he do something else, but that looks good.

Looks like we won't be getting much Spaulding, though.

by **futurist** » Mon Jul 15, 2019 3:33 pm

hope it turns out to be more stylized than the trailer lets on

happy belated to sid haig

yeah, i'm looking forward to it. hope my comment didn't come off as dismissive. just that it looks very "rob zombie", which i like.

seriously incredible filmography

I haven't seen zapped again, didn't even know there was a sequel to zapped

by **futurist** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 4:48 am

been considering bugging everyone in this thread with my recent 80's muscle worship action and T&A sex comedy exploits, but wasn't sure if it would fly

by **aububs** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 4:49 am

please do

by **futurist** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 4:50 am

if anything it's made me rewatch NOES2 and realize that Freddy's Revenge is the only truly gay T&A sex comedy. and people wonder why i am the way i am....

recent (non-horror) trash watches

&

Zapped (1982) & Zapped Again (1990) - not as funny or nuanced as like, Weird Science, but decent 80s teen stuff. someone on letterboxd posted that if a gag where a map of florida has a ballsack scribbled onto it makes you laugh, then look no further

Deadly Prey (1987) - probably a classic on vhs action at this point. so many good aesthetics, mullets, waterbeds, denim short shorts, troy donahue emotionally eating worms in the woods... great to watch, but dialogue and story were meh

Venom - Seventh Date Of Hell (1984) - not the best Venom performance, but Venom is always a fucking blast

Deathsport (1987) - not nearly the best Mad Max riff, but lots of great homemade futurist almost sci-fi elements. needs more bang though.

Blood Debts (1985) - bizarre, nonsensical, rigid, strange, very cool

L.A. Crackdown (1988) - love me some joseph mehri action trash, but this turned into quite the "heartwarming" after school special. hope the second is better.

oops, i'll fix the photos when i post more later

by **Down n dirty rufus** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 3:21 pm

I know there was a thread for tracking down old movies but I can’t find it. Whenever I see old vhs covers I’m reminded of a movie I would see at the video store but never rent that looked reminiscent of early 80s Chuck Norris Cannon flicks, but the hero on the cover was illustrated wearing a glove with spikes on it(?). The back of the box had a screenshot of nasty gore, like you couldn’t even tell what you were looking at. I’m pretty sure it had a goofy name too. We would laugh at it every time, but now I can’t find it on the internet.

by **futurist** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 3:25 pm

by **Down n dirty rufus** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 3:32 pm

It was similar to that but trashier looking, like it could have been something from pre-full moon Charles Band. I might be messing up some of the details. But definitely something about a glove and nasty gore on the back.

by **futurist** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 3:40 pm

hmmm, maybe

by **Down n dirty rufus** » Tue Jul 16, 2019 3:53 pm

Warmer!

I’ll ask my friend if he can remember any other details

Edit - it may have been

the fifth cord (1971) dir. luigi bazzoni

is this the most overlooked/underrated giallo there is? franco nero plays an alcoholic reporter who is being framed by a serial killer. it's a classic premise, and the plotting isn't exactly stellar, but it's all about the style

vittorio storaro shot after the conformist, and his compositions are just utterly gorgeous. great use of color and long shots really emphasize the rad italian architecture. morricone did the score, it's okay... not one of his best, I'm afraid

this is currently playing in nyc as part of a series of recently restored gialli by arrow. the dcp print I saw yesterday was eccellente. it screens again on thursday!

by **futurist** » Mon Jul 22, 2019 4:27 pm

wow!! gotta see that. same director as footprints on the moon.

by **Poptone** » Mon Jul 22, 2019 4:45 pm

i'll second The Fifth Cord, really taught

Nero's a real drunken hunk in it, top ten giallo for sure

by **aububs** » Tue Jul 23, 2019 3:58 am

I've nearly pressed play on the fifth cord so many times, going to watch it asap

by **Down n dirty rufus** » Tue Jul 23, 2019 10:58 pm

Watching Psycho III for the first time since my early teens and it’s pretty fucking great

by **hiddenicon** » Sat Aug 03, 2019 5:04 pm

Any of you weirdos have Blood Hook, The Boogey Man (1980), Night Angel, or The Jitters lying around? Already planning for October and thought I might start stock piling.
