Midnight Meat Train - What the fuck?

I've been looking forward to seeing this movie all year, it was supposed to be released in theaters originally sometime around now. Just found out they have, for some reason I've not been able to yet find, scrapped that plan and released it on Fearnet (which plays a lot of shit I like but is so advertisement heavy that watching it pisses me off); I ( Read more... )

I actually want to see the first Saw, haven't yet because its not high on my list of priorities. I was told I might like the parts of the movie with the two guys chained up in the room, maybe not the rest. But still, how many fucking sequels does a movie need, especially when the killer is dead! You had a good run, let's fucking end it and come up with something else!!! Slasher movies as a general rule just suck.

And yes, they always do this with slasher movies, but its so much more irritating now because none of it is original anymore, just sequels and remakes and series blending. Soon we'll see AvPvFvJ - Alien verses Predator verses Freddy verses Jason, and the next year the sequel where they all team up to destroy Micheal Myers. :-P

I despair the lack of adult horror movies; when I was a teenager I had to wait until my parents stopped caring what I watched I was an adult; why are we suddenly bending that now? Why are we trying to make horror appeal to the masses? Its not something that is supposed to have wide appeal, and to try and make it that way you rob it of everything that makes it good. Who gives a shit how many people go to see it in the theaters if the movie then rots on the back shelf somewhere for the rest of eternity? The masses are fickle, they like something one minute (when the media tells them to) and then they move on; cult fans are a smaller base but they are intensely loyal as long as you remain loyal to them. Why you would pick the one over the other I don't even know.

Seen any other decent B horror lately? I'm taking suggestions, I hate having nothing to watch.
