October fun: 31 days of Horror, Blood, Guts and Gore! (and zombies, too....) - Page 133

I've seen great films on streaming that I would have never seen elsewhere even with the quality.

I agree. I don't understand when people bash the Netflix HD streaming quality. Either they have a setting wrong, or they are not using a 1080p capable streaming device. Since I went to my Panasonic 220 Blu-ray player the quality on "most" HD Netflix streamed movies is excellent. And that's with my 106" diagonal screen. And I'm a fussy mo fo !!

Not all streaming is bad, and not all Blu-rays are good. I've seen Blu-rays that look no better than DVD, and I've seen HD streaming that looks better than some Blu-rays.

I'll give ya that but I'm also convinced NF applies DNR to ALL streaming titles. Of course I have no evidence to support my conspiracy theory but there you have it

Do not resuscitate?

Has anyone seen "Megan Is Missing"? This is another "found footage" film but brought to the digital age, with webcam feeds and other audiovisuals compiled together as a sort of after-the-crime-has-already-happened documentary. We are told that two girls disappeared and this shows the available footage leading up to (and during) their disappearances. It starts out pretty weak (I almost gave up on it due to a combination of bad acting and shakeycam) but the final third almost made up for it--it really ended on a disturbing note. Overall I'd probably rate it between 2.5--3.0 out of 5 stars. Just curious what others thought.

Here's a review on "Megan Is Missing" that sums up how I feel about it. Something about that ending got under my skin.

HOLY F__K!

When??????

Sweet! I hope it premiers on Epix or Hdnet like the first VHS!

VHS was bad enough, and this will be even worse.

Your opinion. Could be better.

Yeah, I'm thinking this one will be better. Looks like it already has more variety in concepts than the first one.

The "problem" with V/H/S has been expressed above by me and others.

The concept is excellent....
Unfortunately, it isn't followed thru in the manner it deserves.

+1

Just wait for "SDcard".

Ha! Mabe they will keep going backwards... we'll get "Betamax" followed by "eight track", which will be audio only

+1000000

How about the glass negative chronicle.

In the event anyone is looking to break into the Hollywood horror film business, I am sure there is at least one good screenplay waiting to be mined from this material:

First Oink you spend to much time on crack. 😉

second, that was just to horrific to be made into a movie, I rather being invited as diner to Hannibal Lector then watch that.

*fixed

Watched Perfect Sense last night... what a depressing ass movie! If it weren't for the great Mr. McGregor and very lovely Eva Green I'm nos sure if I could have made it through

I thought this thread could be the right place for this... Whether you're a Metallica fan or not doesn't matter, Kirk Hammett is a true horror fan, who has quite an impressive collection!! Halloween must be a real treat over at the Hammetts

Very cool!

Metallica has a bit of a macabre tone in their lyrics and wonder how much of that is Kirk?

Granted, a fair amount of metal bands embrace the horror theme like Iron Maiden etc. But how much is marketing and how much just a pure interest like his?
