Gonna watch Robert DeNiro movies all week for no particular reason. #robertdeniro #robertdeniroweek #taxidriver #onceuponatimeinamerica #heat #casino #goodfellas #meettheparents #meetthefockers #comedy #action #drama #movies #moviecollection #moviecollector #dvd #dvdcollection #dvdcollector

As much as it pains me to say it, this was kind of a boring flick and extremely predictable from the first moment. It's like he wanted to remake Duel with a supernatural angle, but forgot to add suspense. Seriously, the whole movie is John Savage (you know, the other guy from The Deer Hunter that wasn't Robert DeNiro or Christopher Walken) driving around, looking pouty and sweaty. I think this was Fulci's last horror film, or one of them, and it feels like he's burnt out and just throwing twists in for the sake of mistaking a twist for a scare. Nothing about it really worked for me, and I kept finding myself reaching for the fast forward button. I mean, it wasn't a terrible movie, like the performances were good and well done, but essentially the movie is a about a guy who keeps having car trouble. That's what's moving the plot along and the rest is pretty much just padding. So why watch it? well, there are fleeting moments that remind you it is a Fulci movie, but not enough to enjoy it. The only time tension really rears its head, is it during the Duel-esque scenes. Recommended only for Fulci completionists. #Nowwatching #nowplaying #doorintosilence #luciofulci #johnsavage #sandischultz #richardcastleman #jenniferloeb #severinfilms #filmirage #mystery #thriller #dvd #dvdcollection #movie #moviereview #moviecollection #filmreview #cinephile #1991 #reviewerocelotdoorintosilence #fulcilives

Finally got around to framing my Cyborg one-sheet. #cyborg #jeanclaudevandamme #cannonfilms #albertpyun #poster #onesheet #postapocalyptic

During production, Lucio Fulci fell ill while making this movie and apparently the producers were unhappy with some of what he shot, so they hired Bruno Mattei to finish it. So what we have here is possibly the greatest direction mashup of all time. One is a bit artsy, known for heavy atmosphere and Gore, the other for ripping off popular films and having a trashy, exploitable feel. This movie is absolutely a combination of the two. The plot follows a group of soldiers who are trying to fuck these girls who want to fuck these other dudes, plus some other brother and sister duo get stuck in a zombie outbreak. With all that horniness, nobody actually fucks. The military is blindly not following the advice of the scientist when Death One, the subtle name of the virus, gets loose. So, it very much feels like it's own movie while being a rip off of every Zombie movie. There's actually some decent stunt work, too, like a zombie being lot on fire and people jumping from roofs. Some scenes are thick in atmosphere with heavy fog and great lighting, intense Gore with good effects and other scenes not so much. Some scenes have ridiculous dialogue and characters making very stupid decisions. It's pretty easy to tell who directed what scenes and given the two very different directing styles, it's surprising this film isn't a incoherent mess. It's actually well edited together and shot decently and the story isn't half bad, even though it's essentially the same idea as Zombie 2, but on a bigger scale. Oddly enough, the music sounds like it would be better placed in an Umberto Lenzi movie and could have benefited if it were by long time Fulci collaborator Fabio Frizzi. This movie perfectly represents what both art and exploitative trashy Italian cinema is all about. #nowwatching #nowplaying #zombie3 #luciofulci #brunomattei #claudiofragasso #massimovanni #deransarafian #beatricering #severinfilms #florafilm #horror #zombies #bluray #bluraycollection #moviecollection #movie #moviereview #filmreview #cinephile #1988 #reviewerocelotzombie3
