Topic: Gory Movies

[addicted2dvd]

Thanks Tom... that helped. Seeing that I didn't put the Jurassic Park movies as horror... I guess I won't for King Kong movies either. At least till I see them 

[Najemikon]

King Kong is fantasy, but with horror elements. It depends on the point of view of the main characters, so in fact, King King is more of a love story!

On the other hand, in Jurassic Park, the main characters are the humans, trapped on an island, trying not to get eaten, so it is more horror. If it were from the point of view of the T-Rex, it's a drama about food...

[Dragonfire]

I wouldn't consider King Kong horror either.  I don't really think of the Jurassic Park movies as horror either even though they have a few scary moments.

[Jimmy]

Is King Kong horror? should it be added to my horror list?

Not for me. It is in the same category than Godzilla, Mothra and all the others big Japanese characters.

@Achim
about Donnie Darko... If I remember right I put that there before seeing the movie... since I had heard it was horror. After watching it I found it to be little more then just confusing... somehow I must have forgotten to take it off the list after watching it. Thanks for the heads up.

I actually thought it was a list from DVD profiler filtered on the genre Horror and that the related profile was crap. But yes, Donnie Darko can be a tad confusing...

And I have the first Hellraisers... should be on that list.  Just looked at the list... it is under Hellraiser 3 for some reason. I do still need to get part 2 though.

Well, the list says Hellraisers and I assumed it was a sequel that I didn't know of (stopped caring after 4 but happened to see the one in space once). If you have the fist one then all is good. You may consider it added to my list.

Hellraiser : Hellseeker isn't too bad. The story is interesting with a little twist and Ashley Laurence is in it (she had age beautifully). The movie is low budget and this is really apparent in the bad GGI, but this isn't a lost of time like all the others after the first three.

Slither and Dog Soldiers are great films though

I never seen any version of King Kong. I have seen some people say it is horror and others say it is not. What is your opinion on the matter? Is King Kong horror? should it be added to my horror list?

Before I saw it, the idea of a remake of King Kong was truly horrific.

Go with your gut on this one, I mean, if I had Arlington Road or Deliverance in my collection - then they would be listed under horror and probably kept in the freezer.

I have all the tremor movies... not sure why they aren't in the list. will have to fix that.

@Achim
No... this list is not from profiler. back before I even heard of DVD Profiler I kept a list of all my horror movies in a txt file because I was on many horror lists/sites and the question of what horror do you own always came up. So it was easier to keep a list and copy and paste it whenever that question came up. And over the years I just kept that txt file (somewhat) up to date for when it does happen.

[addicted2dvd]

just looked... all 4 tremors are on the list.

[northbloke]

To add to Achim's list, a couple more I see in your list are:

My Bloody Valentine
Theatre of Blood (gory for it's time at least)

Ones I don't see on the list but you might like based on what you have are:

The Beyond
City of the Living Dead (both by the guy who made Zombie)
Mario Bava's Bay of Blood
Maniac
2001 Maniacs
Monster Man
Frontiers
Martyrs
Opera
New York Ripper

Didn't notice much Asian gore in your list, but these are some of the more popular ones:

Machine Girl
Tokyo Gore Police
Evil Dead Trap
The Untold Story
The Ebola Syndrome
The Last Supper

And for the more "extreme" films:

Nekromantik (2 is technically gorier)
The Guinea Pig films Devil's Experiment and Flowers of Flesh and Blood
Red Room
Aftermath
Ichi the Killer


Oh, and this maybe be common knowledge but I just found out that Richard Stanley's Hardware is finally getting a decent release and on blu-ray too. It's due out over here on the 22nd and sorry US guys but it's locked to region B. I don't know about the DVD but it's likely to be locked to 2 as well.

[lovemunkey187]

Just thought of another film to add to your list of possible future purchases,

Society.

Sorry about that, but I have the blu-ray on pre-order so I'll check it's regions when it arrives - just in case.

Thanks.

I followed a few Google links and they mostly seem to confirm that this will be region locked. But even if not entirely I'd wanna be careful. I previosuly ordered the Region A/B Son of Rambow just to find that the PAL trailers on the start of the disc prevent my PS3 to play it entirely. I think I'll go with the DVD version, then it matches format with my Dust Devil Collector's Edition (I can usually make up good excuses for myself...).

I've just found out that Severin Films are planning to release Hardware on blu-ray in the US at the end of September, so that should work find on your PS3. If they've used the same master it looks really good. Some noticable print damage early on, but that soon disappears.
