Recommend a DTV horror film

[saintofscars]

I had a cool idea! We all know which major horror films are worth watching, but what about all the direct-to-video ones??? We should use this thread to highlight any obscure gems we come across down the video store.

Let's get searching!!!

THE NIGHT MOTHERFUCKING FLIER

[X-Nightcrawler]

HELLRAISER: MOTHERFUCKING INFERNO

[Cronos]

ATTIC MOTHERFUCKING EXPEDITIONS

:D

Ginger Snaps 2-3
Monster Man
Monster In The Closet
Strange Frequency 2
The Addiction
The Arrival

while not exactly horror (more of a black comedy/thriller) Dead Babies is one of the best films id never heard anything about before seeing it

[TheDeadWalk]

Motherfucking Lucky.

[Klownzilla]

BRIDE OF FUCKING RE-ANIMATOR
BEYOND FUCKING RE-ANIMATOR

That's all for now.

[TATU]

Shred-Fucking-er or in English Shredder. Brilliant DTV slasher flick. Rent if you can, but if you must.....:cool:

[countchocula]

There I go setting trends again.

[aerocrystallake]

Toolbox motherfucking Murders (the re-motherfucking-make)

[X-Nightcrawler]

THE NIGHT MOTHERFUCKING FLIER


You sure? Wasn't it a TV movie? Like The Stand, IT, all that? If that's a stv movie I need to rethink my opinion of stv movies. . .
But I'm almost positive it was a made for tv movie.

There I go dreaming about chocolate pudding and waking up with a spoon in my ass again.

Night Flier rules. I like Shredder too:) Anything by Stuart Gordon or Brian Yuzna (Dagon/King of the Ants/ Beyond Re-animator) kicks ass. Plus cool films Dimension doesn't bother to release properly like Below and Equilibrium.

I watched Vampires: Los Muertos last night. Cool scene where the vampires raid the bar:cool:

I dont know if this counts but
UZUMAKI

Also,

DEAD END
CUBE ZERO

just for the love of GOD DONT RENT DARK HEAVEN --- WORST. MOVIE. EVER.

If you want to get technical The Night Flier had a very limited theatrical release before hitting cable then video stores. A couple of other choices mentioned wouldn’t be categorized due to either being shown theatrically in other countries or festival releases. That would also rule out the movie I was going to mention Chasing Sleep, due to these restrictions. When I think direct to video I immediately think of the boom in the early nineties with Charles Band heading full moon pictures or the latest Debbie Rochon flick. I didn’t think Bleed was that bad. Those pictures had no chance to be shown in a movie theater.

It premiered on (motherfucking) HBO, but it wasn't made specifically for the tube. As Cabrini mentioned, most of the films listed in this thread were given a limited theatrical release. They can still be grouped with straight-to-video flicks, however, as the majority of Blockbuster patrons don't know the difference anyhow.

Good call on Chasing Sleep.

Dead Birds

Quite simply one of the best direct to video horror flicks in a long time. 7/10

[Rokyracoon68]

TREMORS, everyone loves TREMORS!!!!


right....?

[countchocula]

The original Tremors was a wide theatrical release.

[adamjohnson]

Yeah but the otehr 47 that followed were not.

[saintofscars]

Dunno if Monster Man ever got a theatrical release, but it kicks ass! The monster truck is amazing and there's loads of gore.
Anyone who liked Club Dread will love the humour, too. And if you didn't like Club Dread you're a meanie ;)

Word! Strange how there seem to be very few Club Dread fans out there. Anyway, don't watch Terminal Mothafuckin' Invasion. It may seem like fun 'cos it's got Bruce "The Man" Campbell in it, but it's a crap, really low-budget rip-off of The Thing.

[Jason13thh]

Shredder is a fun slasher movie and Ripper is good,too.

[Rokyracoon68]

whos that song by? .....

[countchocula]

Bob Seger, as covered by Metallica.

The Prophecy: Uprising

even though it didnt have Walken in it, and they casted Doug Bradley in a part that previously had Viggo Marteson in the role. it was still a cool movie, and very welcome in my collection.

fisting in the war for heaven

[*Escapade*]

DEAD BIRDS
EVIL REMAINS
CHERRY FALLS
FRANKENFISH (for sheer fun factor)
AMERICAN CRIME (not exactly horror, but pretty good "serial killer" flick)
KOLOBOS
MIMIC: SENTINEL
THE CONVENT
MADHOUSE
MALEVOLENCE

[Jason13thh]

Cherry Falls was a dtv ? sure ?

[countchocula]

Yeah, it was direct-to-video. I'm positive.

[LoomisFan]

Was "Urban Ghost Story" DTV?
Anyways, check out "The Crow: Wicked Prayer." (My review is in the horror reviews section)

[aerocrystallake]

You could always check out this masterpiece I saw last night called The Wickeds.

Oh wait, that movie blew monkey balls. What kinda movie stars Ron Jeremy and isn't a porn!??!

[wheresdonnie?]

Was The Prophecy DTV in the UK? I bought the DVD a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Also, Brain Dead starring Bill Pullman, Bill Paxton and Bud Cort was a really good fun, twighlight zone type of film. Not to be confused with Peter Jackson's Braindead, though. There's no zombie babies in this one, but it's entertaining stuff.

[saintofscars]

I saw Ghost Rig and Ghost Rig 2 this week...

Ghost Rig (also known as The Devils Tattoo) was funded by the Scottish lottery but don't let that put you off. Even though it's just a bunch of people stumbling around an old oil rig it has a good atmosphere and some nice twists at the end.

Ghost Rig 2 (AKA Sea Ghost) has absolutely nothing to do with Ghost Rig. It's trying to be Deep Rising, but has the silliest story, the stupidest characters and the worst CGI EVER!!! If you like bad movies then this one's for you, but make sure you have plenty of alcohol:)

Glad to see a positive rating on it. I didnt even know it was out yet until browsing netflix. While I cried bitter tears when knowing Walken wouldnt grace the sequels, I'm still curious on it and will give it a go. The premise is too cool to pass up
