Hi, I'm Eli. I started this channel originally to talk about metal, but as my tastes have expanded, so has this channel, so you can find plenty of prog, horror movies, and the occasional comic book. Some people might think its a bit all over the place, and I get that. Come hang out anytime, and you can find me on instagram as well.

"No Wake" is my favorite of this one!!
Yeah it was cool. Like a unique zombie story.
This is exactly what I needed I've been dancing around this movie for like the past two days. You convinced me, I'm watching it. Thank you!
Well I hope you like it! Let me know what you think.
Sounds like this is better to watch on dvd than vhs as it'll be easier to skip past the middle stories ⏭️ 😆
Haha. But then you would miss some of the wraparound scenes, which are cool.
Yes, along with Argento's Jennifer are the best!! I love movies about lost movies. This, The Hills Run Red, and Antrum have all covered this subject.
@@infernusrex796 I have both of those! Good point, it’s a really cool topic, I might have to look around to see if there are others out there. I guess there is Scream, with the “Stab” movies, but you never get to see those, and I doubt you’re a fan anyways.
Yes. Yes it is.
Agreed!
@@darkhymnsfromthecoldnorth this and the Boondock Saints are my favorite Norman Reedus things ever he’s done in his career.
@jamesgwarrior1981 Boondock Saints is definitely going to be what he is known for, even long after he is gone. He seems like a cool dude, just in general.
I can tell by the average view duration that the bird sqwaking is a problem, haha. He’s cute at least!
I didn't get that far 😂 I burnt onto dvd the first couple of series of masters of horror when they came out as I really liked alot of episodes, but I don't really remember them not even the 2 I bought on dvd a while back 🤦♂️ so I'm going to see if YT has your top 3 and give them a watch.
It’s only a minute in! Haha, I’d say it’s a terrible video in that case 😂
@@darkhymnsfromthecoldnorth Hahaha 😅 I've just ordered the first series
That’s awesome!
👍
Definitely a good one. The Takeshi Miike one is also great, but this was a great comeback from carpenter! Cheers
It was cool seeing him give a shit again! He was kind of over it at that point I think. Cheers, Ed!
Cool shirt. Nice HALLOWEEN III edition. I like it too a lot. Very special.
Glad you like it too, some people don’t!
The Sadness is crazy, it does live up to the hype with the hyper violence. It does have mean spirited torture parts but it’s very watchable.
It’s a hard balance to find sometimes!
Good horrors released this year that I’ve seen are Longlegs, The Watchers and I just saw Oddity which was great. Haven’t seen the new Alien film yet. Nosferatu, Heretic and The Devils Bath are three I’m looking forward to that are coming out.
I’ve heard very good things about the devils bath, so I’m interested in that. I’m also looking forward to Nosferatu, I’m an. Eggers and I think it’s going to be great. Longlegs and Oddity are two of my favorites from this year.
Have you seen The Woman in Black from 1989? It’s my favourite horror film of all time.
I actually have not! I wasn’t familiar with it either, so I looked it up. I have seen the remake from some years back, which I liked ok. I need to see this one!
I wish I would have enjoyed this. I just left the movie feeling kinda meh with it. It wasn’t terrible but, i doubt I’d watch it again.
They just announced the bluray for Nov 5th. I will be preordering . Excellent film.
That’s a fast turnaround! I’m glad because I want to buy it as well. I’m excited to watch it again, even though it’s one of those movies that won’t be quite the same on the second watch.
We resent them killing Newt and Hicks because A: It was done half-a**ed with the cheapest and most improbable excuse. One face hugger magically got on board with the Queen and impregnated Ripley??? WTF? How did that egg get on board?? Did the Queen carry it on board under her arm?? The only way for her to produce eggs properly is through her egg sack, which was detached by the time she got on board the Sulaco. Then B: The filmmakers replaced these good, wholesome characters who we love with the most violent, vile criminals in the galaxy, some of whom actually try to assault Ripley and then, they want us to care about these offenders?? No f***ing way! By the way, its also very stupid that this maximum security prison with the most vile criminals in the universe has no weapons of any kind. And the Assembly Cut isn't any better. The Alien born from the Ox should at least have horns. So the horrible CGI xenomorph wasn't even creative in any way.
Yeah man, I really can’t argue with you on any of those points. You might not like my Prometheus review…haha.
@LukeLovesRose There are inconsistencies, continuity errors, and lazy, bullcrap writing in A LOT of movies. So what? Look at "Jason X," for a great example here. They never ever explain how Jason escaped from hell after he had been pulled down there at the end of "Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday." At the beginning of "Jason X," we are shown Jason back on Earth running around killing a bunch of folks, but there's absolutely no mention, no explanation of how he escaped from hell in the first place. Also, in several of the "Nightmare on Elm Street" films, they never ever explain how Freddy came back after being killed off in many of the installments in the series. The dog pissing fire in part 4 was nothing but lazy, bullcrap writing right there. Are we supposed to believe that a dog pissing fire somehow cancels holy water or something? It's STUPID!!! And in "Freddy vs. Jason," they never ever explain how Freddy was alive after he had been officially killed off in "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare." The same thing with Jason in that movie, too. They never explain how Jason was alive after he had been incinerated to death at the end of "Jason X." And I could go on and on and on and on with a lot of other movies, too. Like I said, there are inconsistencies, continuity errors, and lazy, bullcrap writing in A LOT of movies. So what? Are you gonna hate on those movies, as well?
@@fromtexas2734 You're using one horrible movie to defend another horrible movie in Alien 3???
@@LukeLovesRose What the hell are you talking about? I said, "There are inconsistencies, continuity errors, and lazy, bullcrap writing in A LOT of movies." And then I go on to mention several movies that also have inconsistencies, continuity errors, and lazy, bullcrap writing in them, not just one film. So, what are you talking about exactly?
@@LukeLovesRose And it is true, too. It is 100% absolutely true. So many movies have been made that have inconsistencies, continuity errors, and lazy, bullcrap writing in them. Are you gonna hate on all of those movies, as well? 😃
cool review. I caught this one in the theater (as I did with Aliens) and didn't love it, but didn't hate it either. I didn't revisit it until I got the 4 movie DVD box set in the late 90s and liked it much more then. I've only watched it a few more times over the past 20 years though, at this point, I'd say that it's my second favorite of the franchise (with Aliens still holding the number one slot).
That’s awesome, have you seen the assembly cut? Because if you haven’t, I think you would love it. I definitely think it’s an underrated movie though, and I think people write it off immediately at the beginning because of Hicks and Newt dying. It was a ballsy move…
I always liked the movie I can understand that some people find the CGI outdated, but I find the plot fantastic, especially the ending when Ripley throws herself into the molten metal. By the way, I still haven't seen your review of Romulus because I haven't seen the movie yet Cheers !!!
I’d be curious to see what you think about Romulus. I’m still deciding which ending I like better with this one. The assembly cut doesn’t have the alien coming out of Ripleys chest, she just jumps to her death because I think she’s tired of everything. I suppose that is a little darker.
I totally like Alien3, of course nothing tops Aliens, the characters were great and the storyline is simple but really solid. I forgot the dog was a rottweiler 😢 I always thought it looked good but I'm wondering how the special effects hold up now for me 😅. Michelle Pfeiffers lips 😮💋😂
I mean it mostly is a really good looking movie. If you already like it, definitely check out the assembly cut because it’s so much better. I think once you’ve seen it, you can’t go back to the theatrical version. I also think it would be cool if someone used that alien design that Giger came up with.
AI Chucky 😮 looks weirdly fake 😅 I imagine Mark Hamill is a great fit. Who doesn't lift the seat?! 🤣
Shane doesn’t, that fucking savage! Oh well, Chucky punished him good 😂
Child's Play is my least favorite franchis, but here to support!!
I can’t claim that it’s great, but I have a soft spot for Chucky
I am so pumped for this one....can't wait to see it!!
I have a feeling you might dig it
Never heard of this one, I will give it a watch!!
It seems to be going under everyone’s radar. It’s always nice to go in thinking you’ll hate something, and end up having a good time.
Amazing film. If you’re into this sort of darkness you should check out “the counselor” from 2013. It was panned by critics when it came out but it’s really really good. Also, check out “the production booth” podcast if you’re a film buff. Thanks for posting this.
I don't mind a good mystery and this sounds like a decent watch plus there's a Columbo where the killer's in the skincare industry and I was always a sucker for watching those 😅
Columbo was great! I loved that show. I’d definitely watch this again, and not only because Elizabeth Banks is a smokeshow.
Hahaha people should just watch the trailer and avoid any video reviews if they intend to watch the film. Oh my God what a spoiler on the back of the Alien VHS 🤣. I was the same rooting for the aliens at the start at least 😅. I really liked watching it but I was confused about how it fits into the whole alien franchise. I was laughing balls when they squashed the rat 🤣. I'd probably rate it around 7/10 myself. Andy was an android? 😜
In retrospect, I actually really enjoyed Andy and should have given his performance more credit. I actually went back and watched it again and I wouldn’t say I liked it more the second time, but I had way less issues with it.
Oh yes this looked like a good one! "here kitty kitty" 😂
It was quite the ride! I went from liking it, to not liking it, to liking it a lot by the time it was over.
Thats cool looking AF mate! Nice one.
I thought so too
I just watched this and I thought it was terrific. Your review was interesting and on point. I'm now going to watch The eyes of my mother which I confess I had not heard of so thanks for the heads up. New subscriber here.
@@12-FILMS I’m happy to have you! The eyes of my mother is very good. It’s bleak as hell though but well worth watching.
@@darkhymnsfromthecoldnorth I watched it. Hard going but the black and white imagery seemed to make it more bearable and involve me more in the story. But yes very bleak.
For me, it was one of those movies that just left me feeling devastated. Not a great way to feel, but it was worth the watch.
This movie sucked major cheeks
Without the monsters, I don’t think I would have been too into it. Which does say a lot about the story.
@darkhymnsfromthecoldnorth I found that the more they showed the creatures , the less interesting they were. It started decent and it was genuinely creepy at points (the hand at the door scene) but then went to 💩 in my opinion. The movie the darkest hour was a great movie that suffered the same fate , by the time you see the creatures ? Their design was trash and hurt the movie
It was ok but they totally ripped off A quiet Place. That said , the last AQP sucked and this one was way better
Agreed, the closeness to a quiet place is way too weird. I was let down by the last one too but I did like the human performances.
I like the movies from this era as well! A lot of the movies were rated R in those days, so I couldn't get in to see them.....until now!
I wasn’t alive yet unfortunately! I love the grittiness of the 70s stuff like this. You can totally see where people like Tarantino took inspiration from.
Since Sigourney has so much more character depth and motivation in Aliens id say she's a lot better in this movie than in Alien
I totally agree. Her personality is much more developed!
To me, Bishop and David are the best, most convincing androids in the franchise
David was a great character, especially in Prometheus. Fassbender just kills that role.
cool review of this 80s classic. Prob my favorite 80s sci-fi movie. Really love the Directors Cut edition.
The directors cut is definitely superior, same with the first movie. I can’t believe that some of those scenes were not used in the theatrical cut.
I actually saw aliens opening weekend when i was 6, it scared the living dogcrap out of me. I think i still slightly prefer it to the original. Cheers Eli!
Damn! That is quite the memory. I was 4, so, not quite ready haha.
I'm going to watch Romulus on Friday so I'll watch your review after I've seen it. UA-cam isn't giving me any comment notifications so I probably won't see if you reply. Totally agree Bishop is best in Aliens. I want to watch this again now 😅
I hate when comments don’t show up, or you don’t get notifications. I’ve had to make it a habit to just manually check every few days or so.
lol looks like youtube made my comment disappear!
Yeah I think it did
lol that's because the dog keeps it real! 😆
@@CinephileSanityTV Hey Sean, is there a way I can get a hold of you, like social media or email address? I have a few questions for ya
The creatures were interesting. My biggest thing was the lighting was dark as hell. I dunno if it was my theater or if you noticed it watching at home. Some of the camera work was very shaky too. He definitely found those boys I thought. This was ok I thought. I’d consider watching it again.
Oh it was for sure dark lol. Luckily I was watching from home and I could pause it and stuff.
I really like the franchise and I was one of the few that liked this one. Many really hated it lol
I wanted to like it more, but I’m still looking forward to rewatching parts 2-4
The bike scene was intense. I loved how it was shot and just its ambition overall
Me too. Can’t wait to see what that director does next!
I remember I watched it in the theater and didn’t like it. I haven’t watched it sense and it seems I’m still not missing much from your review.
I wouldn’t think your opinion would change, but it does happen sometimes
Castaway is very good. The hills have eyes is a classic. I mostly haven’t seen any of these movies.
There’s some obscure ones there. For Castaway, I’ll have to be in a rare mood to watch it, but when I am, I’m definitely interested in watching it.
Like we talked about, I'm not a fan of this franchise, but I am SHOCKED at how much hype this is getting! I can't recall any of the other films getting so blown up!!
Yeah, I totally get it. A lot of fans wanted a back to basics movie, and there hasn’t really been one until now.
good review Eli. I felt a lot of the same sentiments as you. After seeing the trailer, I pretty much got what I expected out of it, with a few surprises. Definitely not my favorite, but I enjoyed it more than Covenant and Resurrection.
Same here, although I have a soft spot for Resurrection, because it came out when I was in high school and I loved it at the time. Covenant I hated when I first saw it, but now I think it’s ok. Still far from great. How do you feel about Prometheus? I’m a fan, despite its many flaws.
I was so nervous about this that I forgot to mention the general plot. Yikes. It’s simple and it’s supposed to be pretty uninteresting, but still. Damnit, haha. Go easy on me please.
There's a plot? 😮😆 Hopefully I'll get to see the new one at the cinema
Well it’s a pretty damn simple plot, haha. But at the same time, pretty brilliant. And I’m gonna review Romulus pretty soon. Spoiler free, in case you haven’t seen it by then.
A timeless classic, my favorite of the franchise. It will be interesting to hear your opinion of the other films (I hope it includes Prometheus) Cheers !!!
There is definitely a lot to talk about with Prometheus!
Creepy mask wearing slasher 😮 I haven't seen one of those before 🤣 I watched 'Old' last night really enjoyed it, I'm guessing you would have more than likely already seen it 😅
I haven’t! It looks decent though
@@darkhymnsfromthecoldnorth well worth a watch I'd be very surprised if you didn't like it
@pieface8032 the concept is cool
Luz was cool, but too weird to be a fave, but I will def check this one out!
This one is weird, but not too weird, imo. And I like weird.
