What, don't you like Blacula and Blackenstein?

Never saw it in 3D.

Always wanted to start a collection of Creepy's but don't own a single issue. =[

Blaxplotaion is awesome but I don't like either one of those movies.

As far as that those go hmmmmmm... Sugar Hill is cool for a horror movie and Black Devil Doll From Hell.

BTW... They are remaking BDDFH and it looks like utter shit!

I'll have to check those out. I've only seen a handful of blaxploitation movies.

Changing gears for a moment . . . There was a horrendous sci-fi movie back in the mid-eighties about some sort of wormlike alien creature terrorizing a group of people. A scientist among them devised a way of killing the foul beast, which was to feed himself to the monster. He was an alcoholic, you see, and had a "bad" liver, which the monster would have a toxic reaction to and die. I can't recall the name of the movie . . . sound familiar to anyone?

Edit: I found the title. Forbidden World. Now I'm going to have to rent it. Wow, that was a bad one.

FYI... Black Devil Doll From Hell is pretty hard to find.

I always thought Saturn 3 was a good Sci-Fi/Horror movie when I was young.

Saturn 3 is a good movie in my book. For some reason, the scene that always stands out in my mind is when the robot removes the chip from the woman's eye.

Not much for Sci-Fi unless it is horror related like say, Event Horizon.

You'll probably like Sunshine, that newer one that reminded me of Event Horizon.
Saturn 3 was a mix of Horror and Sci-Fi.

Visitor Q · June 11, 2008, 04:05:10 PM

Saw a movie called "Blue Sunshine" but never saw just Sunshine. You guys should look up Blue Sunshine it's right up your alley...

I enjoyed Sunshine, and Solaris, too, for that matter, which had a similar feel.

Sir Real · June 11, 2008, 04:53:47 PM

I just could not get into Solaris. <shrug>

As far as old SciFi movies go, I really liked Silent Running.

50Cent #II (1st print) · June 11, 2008, 04:56:07 PM

Silent Running was great. But having watched it a couple years ago I noticed how dated it was. Still good though. An oldie Sci-Fi also is Dark Star that I loved as a kid, but haven't seen it in a long time.

I actually saw that the day it opened and never forgot it, as my pals and I were doing a lot of acid at the time, and even sat through it tripping our asses off because we thought it'd be more The Trip than an "acid leads to chromosome damage leads to psychotic reaction and rapid hairloss" exploitation classic. We howled all the way through and proceeded to see it again the following night! Seemed like a lost classic until it resurfaced on DVD, which even included it's original score on a separate cd. I think I even have a copy of the novelization somewhere! A classic indeed! Thanks for bringing it up as the UG board is a place where this film would be appreciated, to be sure!

Love Blue Sunshine! Have you seen Jeff's other movie Squirm?

Jason

ps. Figured I would get this over to the right section of the site.

I've always been kind of curious about it but have not seen it. Does it compare to novelty of Blue Sunshine? Not too many films like it out there, even with the hilarious cheese effects of the bald wigs and bad toupees, eh? Maybe I'll add Squirm to my Netflix cue and check it out in the future. Right now I'm going through the second season of The Fugitive which just got released this week, and some Alex Cox films I haven't seen from his post-Walker period when Hollywood pretty much banished him. Got "Three Businessmen" and "Death And The Compass" in the next batch along with William Friedkin's recently released on dvd for the first time, early film, "The Night They Raided Minsky's". Always been curious to see that as I'm a huge fan of French Connection, Exorcist and Sorcerer. Have you ever seen Alex Cox's Straight To Hell? An acquired taste, to be sure, but excellent if you are fan of Spaghetti Westerns and can handle chaos in your narrative. Thanks for the Squirm tip!
