Well said, I agree! Did you ever see the Skeleton Key? Its a lot like The Others with being so psychologically thrilling and also has a brilliant twist. Those are probably my 2 all time favorite movies, intellectually. I know they must seem so boring to a lot of horror movie lovers (they did to me setting wise), but , just, wait, for it. :icon_eek:

Now see, I loved the setting of The Others. I thought the bleak, almost black and white feel of the movie and the stark nature of the location was perfect for the story.

I was about to respond with "I love that movie and the book it's based on" and then realized you were talking about The Others (plural) and not The Other (singular). I find the latter movie (and book) from 1972 and 1971 respectively, brilliant. I remember reading the book sometime in the late 70s and being horrified by many of the passages and imagery. I still get an eerie feeling when I think about it. Thomas Tryon was a wonderful writer. He left this world much too soon.

27. End of the Line (FTV)
Subway riders find themselves stuck underground with radical Christian cult members who are sacrificing people for the impending apocalypse on a worldwide scale, led by a zealous televangelist. Strange little movie that definitely took some unexpected turns. Starts out as more of a standard urban paranoia/Jacob's Ladder type story in the sleazy subway system, with demonic sightings and crazed passengers. Turns into more of a seige film, where instead of zombies we have crazed cult members stabbing people with blades hidden in the crucifixes they carry. The filmmakers have an axe to grind here and are making a statement about how religion sometimes can be radicalized to be used for nefarious purposes, but it's not too heavy-handed. Low budget and sometimes awkward in tone, but pretty entertaining stuff and the blood flows freely.

3 out of 5 stars.

Doggone it, gonna have to wait for the weekend to catch up with these Hammer Dracula flicks. Work this week has been full-on, heavy duty, and by the time I get all stretched out in front of the boob tube I can't keep my eyes open. So I guess this is gonna be a super-duper Hammer Halloween Movie Marathon Weekend for Muskie and Son (my kid will roll his eyes, but he SHALL watch). I'll have to stock up on candy, pizza, and all sorts of cinematic munchies. Burritos. Nachos. Popcorn. Sardines. Coca Cola. Cocktail weinies in BBQ sauce. Chili fries...stuff like that.

Yep, that's the plan.

No, no heads on the kind I eat. Never even seen such sardines. Blech.

Mine's the big red canned Chicken of the Sea sardines in either tomato or hot sauce. On crackers. Maybe smoked oysters, too.

It's the only way I've ever seen them. Packed in mustard sometimes, right on a cracker, eyeballs and all. I've seen people put it on there and eat whole. aaah. no
Someone should make a sardine horror movie. (Or add it to a book)

26. The Legend Of The 7 Golden Vampires (1974) Peter Cushing

The 9th and final film in the Hammer Dracula series. Here’s the synopsis from IDB:

While lecturing in China, Van Helsing agrees to help seven kung fu trained siblings reclaim their ancestral mountain village, now the domain of seven powerful vampires and their army of undead slaves.

It sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? A Kung Fu / Dracula movie. Well, it is ridiculous but it’s also enjoyable as hell and a lot of fun. The army of undead is pretty awesome. 7/10
