The Temple of Dagon

I just watched "Skeleton Key"
Does anyone else detect a resemblance to "The Mephisto Waltz"?
Doesn't really matter, it's a very good spookaroo, and the 'twist' ending isn't telegraphed a'tall.
Good acting, good writing, good production values, and the ghoulish thrill or realizing that many of the locations may have been destroyed in the Great Storm.
They don't make them like they used to-sometimes, they make them better.

That movie blew the hole! I was drunk at the time and I still thought it sucked balls...I wanted to vomit in disguest, or because I had too much cheap liquor in me

Have you ever seen a movie you liked?

Sure, not to be so negitive, but you gotta admit that the newage horror scene is just a bunch of overpriced B movies, most of which are produced by Stan Rainny...poor bastard

Has there ever been a horror scene not dominated by B-movies?

Big budget horror flicks are rare-the genre lends itself to the smaller budget, and the larger budget is usually spent on talent-which is a good thing, as a rule.
However, not every movie and piece of music can "suck major monkey balls".
You have achieved some degree of expertise in a field when you can honestly say,"It's very good, but I don't like it, personally."
Think about it?

"Overpriced B movies" is an oxymoron.

OK, overpriced pieces of crap then

But yah, I suppose horror movie genre has always been domiated by lame ass plots and bad story telling...so this is nothing new I guess

Watch Primer. I'm not sure I can call it a horror movie but I'm going to keep saying it until everyone complies. Resistance is futile.

I have to do that, it sounds like a good story.

Sounds good.

From classic scifi-the spindizzy.
A device that allows you to get more energy out than you put in(in the first story, a small spaceship travels to Mars on a dry-cell battery).
This enables whole cities to fly into space and travel arouind the galaxy.
They were still good stories.

The premise of Primer is somewhat similar to that, but the handling is very noir and verges on horror. It's a very difficult movie to describe--a simple presentation combined with a complex ongong background that doesn't need to be unraveled to be followed.

Scifi is returning to it's roots.
About damn time!

Not really, since very few of them are worth even the tiny amounts put into them.
