I actually remember enjoying it when I watched it, but heard both Mcconaughey & Zellweger tried to stop the film from being released on DVD once they became big stars.

I enjoyed that movie as well. I also liked part 3 with Viggo Mortensen. 1 and 2 are still the best though, and the 2003 remake was decent.

Watched the trailer recently for the upcoming Leatherface movie. Looks pretty average in my opinion. Personally I don't have much interest in an origin story at this point. As a character, Leatherface is much scarier when you don't know anything about him other than the fact that he's a deranged nutjob. Rob Zombie tried to do the same thing with Michael Myers in his 2007 remake, and although I enjoyed that movie, I felt it kind of removed the mystery surrounding the character. It was a more violent and bloody film, but it wasn't as frightening or disturbing as Carpenter's original.

I think they need to either put Texas Chainsaw to bed for good, or find a new and fresh take on the franchise. Origin stories are overdone these days.

Went to Sunrise Records this weekend and picked up some movies. They actually have some real good deals and are similarly priced to BestBuy or Walmart, or in some cases even cheaper. I really hope Sunrise does well, especially with big box stores cutting down/out their physical media sections.

I don't mean to be a jerk here, but what are you doing spending your money on some of this stuff? Like "The Mummy" has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 17%. It's by all counts a terrible movie. I don't understand why you'd want something like that. Bay Watch is 18%.

If you just want to watch these movies, you can rent them for a small price. Isn't the point of collecting something to have meaningful/rare/prestigious pieces? Just buying anything that comes out is a collection I don't understand. Won't you just end up with clutter? Are you discriminating at all in what you buy? Are you concerned at all about ending up just hoarding movies instead of having collectible items?

I would think if you want an interesting collection, you should put your money into fewer items of higher value/collectibility. This collection just makes me say WTF.

hehe I was thinking the same thing. No movie completest is completest enough to buy Baywatch. Especially in 4K. If it's just for Alexandra Daddario, might I suggest True Detective?

You should slow down buying movies and put that money into a sweet basement theatre.

LOL! Trust me you guys aren't the first ones to tell me this. I guess my answer is I dunno lol. I picked up King Arthur: Legend of the Sword on 4K and by all rights it should have sucked (28% on RT) but I ended up enjoying it. I don't have the ability to go out to theatres as much as I used to now so picking up a movie for $30 once a week evens out to what I would have spent at a theatre. The Mummy and Baywatch maybe I'll enjoy them maybe not but there movies I wanted to see in theatres but couldn't make it. The Mummy I picked up also because it's the start of the Dark Universe (who knows how long that will last) and I enjoyed the first 3 with Brendan Fraser. I also like supporting Sunrise Records who knows how long they will last. Plus I'm able to help subsidize my movie addiction by selling off the digital codes that come with movies for anything between $2-$5 so while I end up paying only $25/movie.

Society finally arrived from Zavi yesterday. Fans of 80s horror should give this movie a go, holds up pretty well. The best part was that because it took over a month to arrive I got it free

To be fair I did buy all those either used or on Black Friday/ Boxing day so I never spent more than $10/film probably closer to $5. It's why I didn't buy the new Transformers when it came out this week.

Because of Prince of Darkness
Spoiler!

That's probably a sign of a good horror movie.

That "not a dream" sequence still gives me chills. I'm a hard guy to please/ creep out when it comes to horror.

So what's the weirdest and/or most obscure cult movie in your collections? I own some pretty bizarre and downright silly titles:

Killer Klowns From Outer Space
Oversexed Rugsuckers From Mars
Zombeavers
Motel Hell
Turkey Shoot
Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death
Bone Tomahawk
Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter
The Beast Within
Final Exam
The Funhouse
Slumber Party Massacre
Sleepaway Camp
Troll & Troll 2
Pumpkinhead
Kentucky Fried Movie
Piranha (1978)
C.H.U.D.
The Stuff

...and countless others.

But the one that truly takes the cake is a 2010 horror-comedy called "Rubber", about a homicidal car tire that comes to life and goes on a killing spree using psychic powers. It's amazing. For all you fans of super weird, crazy-ass movies, I can't recommend it enough.

Rubber actually looks like a lot of fun I kinda want to see it now hahaha

I have some of the same weird movies like

Killer Klowns From Outer Space - This is actually a really fun horror movie
The Funhouse
Slumber Party Massacre
Sleepaway Camp
Piranha (1978)

I also own the complete Leprechaun film series including Leprechaun in Space, Leprachaun in the hood & Leprachaun Back 2 tha hood.

Some obscure 80s horror titles I own are: Sssssss, Night of the Comet, Prom Night, They Live, Rabid, Videodrome, & Scanners (huge Cronenberg fan).

But the worst movie I own is Sinister Squad.....its a cheap rip off of Suicide Squad. I bought it for $1 at HMV when it was closing and I overpaid, it makes Suicide Squad look like The Dark Knight by comparison.

These are my pick ups from yesterday I guess you could include House and House 2 into obscure horror titles:
