[DancesWithWerewolves]

Now watching Ravenwolf Tower.

Apparently this was a series, and "The Feature" is the first 3 episodes? Whatever, it's 79 minutes so I'm counting it

After this is over I have to go look up the main actress in this and see if she did porn.

Doctor Sleep Director's Cut. Not sure if it is any different than the other.

It's extended, but it's so many little things you won't notice most of it.

Yeah, the FX are terrible, but I still dig its story. And soundtrack.

Me to Amber regarding the guy playing Billy- "He looks like a Great Value Colin Kaepernick".

Really digging it so far. The acting has been incredible. And the hat lady is giving me a boingy. Hope I get to finish it tonight. Amber started drinking beer and had to pee every 20 minutes. Lol

I re-watched that a few months back, because I hadn't seen it pretty much since it came out. Mom took me to the last showing of it on a School night back in '97.

I remember seeing this back in theatres too, a few times.

The puppet/animatronic heads of the werewolves in the quickie shots are actually pretty good. Shame it's got the notoriously awful CGI for the bulk of them.

Yeah, agreed on the puppet heads for the wolves.

Honestly, it's not too bad of a film compared to the Werewolf films being churned out now.

I do think I need to give some service for those wondering. The Robert films aren't good. Very slow and quite dull from beginning to end. I did think it could've picked up during The Toymaker continuing with Revenge and Reborn with the Puppet Master route, but very little was done. It just felt like there was no effort put into any of the films and the dolls weren't the main focus. I mean, Robert Reborn really felt cheap and uninspired. If you ever decide to run the gauntlet, I wouldn't really advice it and just watch The Toymaker as I thought it was the less shittiest one, but that's like saying you would rather have Diarrhea because it's quickest to clean up afterwards. It still shit and sucks.

Definitely. Most of the flack thrown its way is always about the bad CGI and hokey humor. Not that the complaints aren't valid, Waller was no Landis when it came to humor

D, have you seen Hard Rock Nightmare?

[Jmac Attack]

Man....this Doctor Sleep is some fantasy type bullshit. I'm very very disappointed. There is still like 54 minutes left. The acting is what is keeping me interested. I think it would have been better as a movie completely unrelated to The Shining.

Sounds familiar

It's definitely in the "Urban Fantasy" realm as far as books go (which most horror fall under anyway), but I don't see how it wouldn't be horror either. It's strength is its ties to The Shining as well, but you have 54 minutes left to see

I might've seen the title around at the video rental stores, but the plot doesn't ring a bell :/

[DancesWithWerewolves]

Youtube's got it up, so I've got that now on my watchlist lol. I see a werewolf is in it

Rock band goes to a cabin in the woods and soon start being killed by a clawed creature?

Its definitely horror. I'm just not digging the story. They just arrived in Colorado. I guess I'll see, lol.
