Recommendations - horror genre

Link 1: The Keep (1983) - IMDb

 

I'd say that the book is far, far, superior to the film, which seems to be a very "Marmite" one (I hated it). I saw and disliked the film, then read and loved the book and went back to the film for a re-evaluation, but my mind hadn't changed!

Link 1: Outpost: Black Sun (2012) - IMDb

 

The year is 1945, the closing stages of WW2, and a German scientist by the name of Klausener is working on a frightening new technology that has the power to create an immortal Nazi army. Flash forward to present day, and a NATO task force is hurriedly deployed to Eastern Europe, where a sinister enemy appears to be mercilessly killing everything in its path. But this is no ordinary foe. Only Helena, a gutsy investigator on the trail of the notorious war-criminal Klausener, accepts the reality of that they are facing a battalion of Nazi Storm-Troopers, a veritable zombie army on the march. With the help of Wallace, a man who's been chasing Nazi secrets for years, the two of them team up with a Special Forces Unit to venture deep behind enemy lines. Their mission to fight their way back to the source of this evil army and prevent the seemingly inevitable rise of the 4th Reich.

 

Link 2: Deep Rising (1998) - IMDb

 

A group of heavily armed hijackers board a luxury ocean liner in the South Pacific Ocean to loot it, only to do battle with a series of large-sized, tentacled, man-eating sea creatures who have taken over the ship first.

Ahh! Deep Rising... you know I have been trying to remember the name of that movie for ages now. But beyond calling it that horror film with a boat and tentacles (brings up a few unsavoury Japanese manga films if you search along those lines) I couldn't remember much about it or even the actors in it. So thanks.

 

On other horror films, it is a bit more recent but Pitch Black was a good film, also kicked off the Riddick series. But IMO this film was the best of the bunch.

A commercial transport ship and its crew are marooned on a planet full of bloodthirsty creatures that only come out to feast at night. But then, they learn that a month-long eclipse is about to occur.

I have just been reminded of another:

 

Link: Identity (2003) - IMDb

 

Malcolm Rivers has been convicted as the perpetrator of several murders and is sentenced to death. An eleventh hour defense by his lawyers and psychiatrist that Malcolm is insane based on new evidence has resulted in them meeting with the prosecutors and the judge to discuss if the verdict should be overturned. Meanwhile, on a dark night during a torrential rainstorm in the Nevada desert, a series of chain reaction events results in several people needing to stay at an out of the way motel managed by Larry. They are: ex-cop now limo driver Ed, and his client Caroline, a diva of a once famous actress; quiet adolescent Timmy, his stepfather George, and his mother Alice, who was seriously injured when Ed accidentally ran over her as she watched George change their flat tire; prostitute Paris, who was the unwitting cause of George's flat tire; newlyweds Lou and Ginny, whose marriage is based on a lie; and Police Officer Rhodes, who was en route escorting prisoner Robert to his new institution. They all can't leave the area because of washed out roads, all the other businesses around the motel are closed because of the storm, and all communication in and out is not functioning also because of the storm. One by one, they are murdered, the murderer leaving a calling card of a motel room key, starting with the room 10 key and working his way presumably to the room 1 key when the last person will be dead. Those still alive band somewhat together under Officer Rhodes and Ed's direction to find out which of the eleven is the murderer, and if, based on one of their theories, that they were brought to the motel by some force by the murderer as his intended targets. Whether those still alive can discover who the murderer is, discover why he has chosen to kill them, and be able to subdue him may well determine Malcolm's fate.

'Silver Bullet' nice chopper ridin' retro classic

Demons and Demons 2 for pure gib/gore

The Blob (I prefer the 80's remake)

Phantoms - this film is EXCELLENT -

The Crazies was decent

Dreamcatcher - Damien Lewis/Morgan Freeman/ Jason Lee and Tim Olyphant -
