Now Screening - What Are You Watching Right Now?

Today's retro late-afternoon creepy movie....

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/921/lDYV42.jpg

Description:

"In a building in Amsterdam, an elevator inexplicably begins to function alone. After a lightning storm causes a power failure and traps four people in the elevator, the elevator fails to open even after a subsequent power restore, and the passengers almost suffocate. Soon, subsequent malfunctions prove fatal as an elderly blind man falls to his death when the elevator doors open to an empty shaft, the building night watchman is decapitated, and a janitor is seemingly burned alive...."

Good film Grant.

Just started watching this about Carlos Monzon on Netflix.

He was an Argentinian world champion boxer in the 60s who's wife was found dead on the patio under a first floor balcony at their home.

Its a subtitled dramatisation.. Good so far on episode 4 I'll be sticking this one out. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...52db14236b.jpg

Bit better now.

This oldie now lol

The Horses Mouth. 1958. Alec Guinness stars

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...71dc157a07.jpg

Has anyone been watching the BBC WW2 drama "World on Fire"? We have, it's brilliant, well worth a watch on catch up if you've missed it. (Although it's not finished yet, so you'll have to wait to watch the last episodes, or wait a few more weeks and binge watch the box set!)

Talking of binge watching, we did that with "The Capture" - really loved it but wasn't happy with the ending... But would still recommend.

Good film, although a bit of a Casablanca remake tbh. At least Hoagy Carmichael was playing a few numbers.

Now some Red Dwarf to see out night

Haha... Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the quality of the acting, etc, but those sorts of films aren't my thing, and for me are now simply too old-fashioned.

Get Dr Sleep, when it comes out on Blu-ray. That'll blow your mind;)

Last Samurai ..2003

I heard that this is a sequel to The Shining, if so it has a lot to live up to (one of the best ever horrors imo). Looking forward to release date :)

Some light Dracula now with the 2012 Hotel Transylvania
. First of 3 excellent cartoon films.
Work across many age groups etc
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a24e40252f.jpg

A bit more sinister now with the 1945 classic horror Dead of Night.

Often called the best horror film ever. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ae66ca93a4.jpg

This is my favorite Bogart film. Prefer it to 'Casablanca' - well it was Lauren Bacall's debut. :)

Another oddity from yeah olden days.
The Old Dark House 1932.


https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...dd5c3248b2.jpg

Looks interesting! What's it about?:)

For me, right now, I'm going back to the 90s... I remember renting this out on VHS, when Blockbuster existed!

Description: A woman goes to desperate measures to meet a successful radio psychologist, even if it means killing in order to do so.

In Which We Serve. 1942.

Class act of a film this. Quite a few future sirs in it too.

It's a weird film. James Whale did it. It got destroyed then a lone copy was found.
One of those creepy, yet slightly amusing British oddities, although made in Hollywood.

Would u like it.. Maybe if it were remade. The shadow filming is great, and considering its about 90 years old it's still good, but be prepared to watch it numerous times

My favourite of that time is the Black Cat (the 30s Karloff/Lugosi film not the silly film made about 10 years later about some people trapped in a haunted house or something). In my opinion it's the best horror film of that time, although Nosferatu and Freaks are on a par and possibly technically more impressive.

See night out with the superb original The Lady Vanishes 1938, stars Margaret Lockwood and Michael Redgrave, and with the original Charters and Caldicot, Naunton Wayne and Basil Radford who along with May Witty, kinda stole the film.

Right now, before bed....

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/921/uuz77I.jpg

Description: Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) has a loving boyfriend (Justin Long) and a great job at a Los Angeles bank. But her heavenly life becomes hellish when, in an effort to impress her boss, she denies an old woman's request for an extension on her home loan. In retaliation, the crone places a curse on Christine, threatening her soul with eternal damnation. Christine seeks a psychic's help to break the curse, but the price to save her soul may be more than she can pay.
