Pet Cemetary was a good film, maybe 7 / 10 for its time.

My problem is that they are all being remade now, the Nightmare remake was awful. Fright Night is being given the modern touch which is a real shame and they are inevitably going to ruin an entire genre instead of leaving things as they were.

Just a shot in the dark, but does anyone remember "Monster Squad"?! Not exactly a horror by definition but an 80's monster film that oozed quality. There was also another called 976 evil, wasnt too bad for its time either. And there was one i recall where 2 kids inavertently open a portal to Hell in their back garden - any idea on the name???

2 exceptions I think are the Halloween remakes and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

cannibal holocaust had that very hot rape scene where the man punished a girl for doing adultry.... I had to rewind the scene few times so I could ejaculate right before the climax... awesome movie..

Just watched I spit on your grave the new release - and fucking hell.
I would say I am pretty desensitized but I had a hard time watching the 15 min of rape - its heartbreaking.
Chick looks amazing too.

The torture at the end was fucking badass as well - the guy with the water and lime or what ever she put in that water :D
And the cop getting raped by his shotgun :D

she loved it I bet... where do you find these films, god damn... nothing beats a nice detailed uncut rape scene.... hottest thing there is

watched the trailer and it seems the rape scene wouldn't be too hot anyways.... personally the movie would have had a perfect ending to the rape scene with some nice "candle light" dinner backround music.

i was just going to mention fright night, easily a top 3 horror movie for me, i love the music it was done by the same guy that did the terminator music

i'm surprised they would remake it, i always thought it was one of the more unknown and underrated horror movies, even though tv guide gave it 3 out of 4 stars

monster squad is excellent, i probably watched it 20 times back in the 80's, probably the only "scary" movie people of all ages would enjoy
