cheesy horrors

KlodaX

I just watched from dusk till dawn 3 ... and walked away thinkin it was a classic .... yeh I know it was cheese.... but why did I love it so much???? what is it about cheesy horrors we love so much??

Tusky

The Evil Dead Trilogy , The Lost Boys , Braindead , Bad Taste , Battle Royal ( kinda )

Fysh

??? Battle Royale cheese???

One of the best original horror-type films I've seen, that was.

As for cheesy horror flicks...I have a soft spot for Friday the 13th which allows me to overlook its many and varied flaws, and some of the Nightmare on Elm Street or Halloween flicks were very influential...but on the whole most of them are pretty dire.
It may be because I've watched a lot of cheesy horror, but I'd rather see something original than something that goes for the same old clichés.

(then again, this can apply to many types of film; rom-coms, action, courtroom drama, etc...It's possible to have such films done well, in which case we get what I call "popcorn movies" like Pirates Of The Carribean, but it's also possible to get Legally Blonde 2.)

i know tusky mentioned it but Evil Dead II is the best "horror" ever, God it's so hilarious. I just love the part when

he goes mad at the sink and started smashing dishes on his head!!

Klassic film!:cool:

Anyone remember Fright Night? Great film.

Fright Night was good alright.

The best cheesy horror I've seen recently is Freddy Vs. Jason - enjoyed it immensely.

I didn't like the film, but the commentary on the DVD is amazing.

Jason X & Freddy Vs. Jason had some funny, cheesy moments in them.

It's not the cheesy horrors I have a problem with, it's the totally unoriginal movies with NO sense of humour and a totally crap plot, recent examples being feardot.com, & dreamcatcher. Blewgh. I didn't like Cabin Fever either, despite it's 'humour'.

Gimme cheesy Friday the 13th/Nightmare on Elm St. anyday

I remember Waxworks being great crack. It's sequel Lost In Time was pretty good too.
Has anybody seen them?

Freddy Vs. Jason

I was in my local vide store today when I saw a film called Trevor Vs. Jason.

Yeah, I've seen Waxworks years ago.
Mad stuff! I remember enjoying it at the time.

same here, easily the best "horror" movie i've seen in recent years.

Brian Houlihan

Agree. Freddy vs Jason just had some thing about it that i enjoyed

Quatre Mains

some of the best/worst thatspring to mind are

i) Leprechaun 4: In Space. At the end the giant Leprechaun gets blown into pieces via the ships airlock. As his hand floats past the window the middle finger comes up to flip the bird at the 'hero'

ii)Halloween 3; again this is Paddytastic, with the Silver Shamrock factory making masks designed to kill kids left right and centre. "3 more days to Halloween, Halloween, Halloween..."
