Would much rather see the Giant Pig Movie by BetaRayBill07	Aug 12th, 2007 11:30:31 AM
Croc movie? Hasn't this been done a time or twelve?
"Arnie Bragg?! Again!?" by rickiaeger	Aug 12th, 2007 11:32:06 AM
giant pig movie would be cool
Love Wolf Creek by DirkD13"	Aug 12th, 2007 11:32:35 AM
Hope I love this too. Rhada Mitchell is welcome to lovingly stroke my balls, she can even name them if she so pleases.
I'd rather see a movie about giant, man eating, by Yeti	Aug 12th, 2007 11:41:40 AM
Dust Bunnies. Think of the horror!And they're eventually stopped by a giant swifter....does anybody know the number of a good agent?
There's actually a book about man-killing dust bunnies. by JackPumpkinhead	Aug 12th, 2007 11:59:06 AM
It's called, originally enough, "Dust". And it makes Matt Reilly's "books" seem almost readable.
Geez, two of my faves: Radha Mitchell, and Pigs by Bronx Cheer	Aug 12th, 2007 12:16:48 PM
I have had a massive crush on Radha Mitchell ever since I saw "High Art" and I love pigs. (Not in that way!) By the way, just a quick mention about what a great film "High Art" is.

we need a giant snapping turtle movie by Magic Rat	Aug 12th, 2007 01:51:28 PM
c'mon Hollywood, make it happen.

um...is he talking about a didgeridoo instrument? If so, how strange he didn't just say that. Movie sounds good though. Crocs rule, mate!
RAZORBACK!!! by TheBloop	Aug 12th, 2007 03:46:54 PM
Without question, the best movie about a giant man eating pig ever made. Who want to argue that point with me? Come on, I will take you all on! And the upcoming Hogzilla film will pale, that's right, pale in comparsion.
Screw crocs -- I want THEM! Giant Ants! by Big Dumb Ape	Aug 12th, 2007 04:52:41 PM
If I was truly bored one weekend and IF the reviews for this are ok, I might check it out. But to be honest, I don't need another giant croc movie. For crying out loud, we just had PRIMEVAL and the Sci Fi Channel seems to make a bad, new freakin' giant croc movie every other week. That's more than enough to give me my fix. But mutated GIANT ANTS storming out of the desert and eating people in their mandibles while fighting the military? THAT would be cool. Give me my damn THEM! remake that's been stalled for ages already!
oversized critters anytime by prunkhaft	Aug 12th, 2007 05:25:53 PM
I'll take what I can get.
scew ants, I want giant pill bugs by TheBloop	Aug 12th, 2007 05:34:07 PM
Just image the scene were the giant pill bugs roll up into huge balls, roll down a cliff, and flatten the whole town. Get Tim Story to direct. Instant classic folks.
Who cares? by Sappers Forward	Aug 12th, 2007 05:42:39 PM
There were two great evil/giant/insane killer animal movies: Jaws and Cujo. Did I spell that dogs name right? Whatever. Anyway, everything after that is just boring. So out played that it's painful.
Remakes by Prefect Maximus	Aug 12th, 2007 05:57:03 PM
We need a remake of "Attack Of The Killer Tomatos" Wacka Wacka Wacka
Likely better than Primeval by Forsakyn	Aug 12th, 2007 06:11:51 PM
Being a sucker for giant killer croc/alligator movies, I watched Primeval (rented it - knew it was going to suck, so there's no way I'd see it in a theater). Not surprisingly, it sucked hard (the crocodile was hardly in the film - hey, it's a killer croc movie - it should be the focus!)- I'd take Dinocroc over Primeval. I didn't really care for Wolf Creek, but Rogue sounds more like a decent-production value killer croc movie, plus it has Radha Mitchell.
Sappers Forward by jfp2007	Aug 12th, 2007 06:38:27 PM
My mom out played you, last night. Got it straight from the horny bitche, so you can't deny it you fucked my mommy motherfucker.
more great evil/giant/insane killer animal movies by TheBloop	Aug 12th, 2007 07:22:09 PM
GRIZZLY, Snakehead Terror, Sabertooth, Rattled, Boa, Python, Boa vs Python, King Cobra, Komodo, Komodo vs. Cobra, Venom (1981), the Swarm, BUG (1975), Giant Spider Invasion, see there are lots of good ones out there.
But...Primeval was just out... by Arnold Shitzembigger	Aug 12th, 2007 08:48:15 PM
...in the theaters and on DVD. They did blow it with that one. Orlando whatever-his-last-name-is sucked. He was the Will Smith of that movie. I did think the opening scene where the lady steps on the dirt mound as pretty impressive and scary. The rest was stupid. But, will anyone care about this croc movie on the heels of the other. I think there will mostly be ambivalence...
Black Water is out too by voxmortis	Aug 13th, 2007 02:06:02 AM
Set in the Aussie outback with a rogue croc (showing at London's Frightfest)... just maybe Mclean should've kept quiet about this project and not tell everyone in the world what he was gonna make next!
there are too many croc films out there so.... by GavinVanDraven	Aug 13th, 2007 04:17:28 AM
it would be better to advertise it as a serial killer flick eh? eh? wouldnt want anybody to think it was a remake of Lake Placid would they? speaking of remakes... remake SLUGS, somebody, anybody? i'd take a CGI enhanced JAWS over another damn giant croc movie.
Sounds like... by Vamp-AICNchat	Aug 13th, 2007 04:19:47 AM
A croc of shit.
Monster2Bpitied, FROGS was cool... by Big Dumb Ape	Aug 13th, 2007 05:44:16 AM
I remember seeing that as a little kid and being completely freaked by it, to the point that at night, when I could hear some frogs coaking in our wooded backyard, it seriously kept me awake wide-eyed. Ah, the innocence of youth and simpler times for the way a horror movie could scare the shit out of a kid!
...But what about NIGHT OF THE LEPUS? by Big Dumb Ape	Aug 13th, 2007 05:55:53 AM
I mean, come on, if we're talking big critters, what a true cinema classic THAT was. Stuart Whitman fighting oversized mutant bunnies that were either real rabbits badly filmed on mock miniature sets to make them look big or were men dressed in truly, truly bad rabbit suits, so they could stand up and swat with their paws? It doesn't get any cheesier than that. And it had Deforrest Kelley. I mean, come on! What more do you want? Actually, a true anecdote involving the movie (SPOILER FOR THOSE WHO NEVER SAW IT)... The ending involves the town super-electrifying the local railroad yard and rail lines to fry the bunnies as they come charging across. When I was growing up, I saw LEPUS at a local drive-in that was built right next to a railroad yard. So when the rabbits started their attack, my Dad snuck out of the car and started pounding on the roof and sides saying "They're coming! They're here! Look out!". LOL Trust me, when you're a tiny little runt at the drive-in in your pajamas, that's enough to make you scream "WAAAHH!" at the top of your lungs. Ah, the innocence of youth yet again...
Giant Man Eating Vaginas!! by godoffireinhell	Aug 13th, 2007 06:10:40 AM
Make it happen, Hollywood!
I was with Wolf Creek until... by JackRabbitSlim	Aug 13th, 2007 06:13:03 AM
bad guy crashes his car, miraculously is seemingly completely unhurt or unfazed, finds his high-precision rifle is equally completely undamaged, aims at car thats been zooming away at minimum 40 mph for a full 40 seconds, hits world class shot. Crap - utter crap. And seriously - the "I shot roos in the bush from helicopters" bit - i'll give him that for the old guy killshot - not twice

Hannibal and Snatch both had the sinister porcine threat looming.
John Sayles by CuervoJones	Aug 13th, 2007 06:17:58 AM
He wrote a good killer croc movie.
SQUIRM!!! by TheBloop	Aug 13th, 2007 06:22:20 AM
Remake that one. Flesh eating worms!! what could be better?
I came across Primeval in extravision by emeraldboy	Aug 13th, 2007 07:26:43 AM
where i live in south dublin. The Videocover looked like crap, real bargain bucket rubbish. The vibe off the cover suggested deliverance meets a giant croc movie. Saw lake placid again the other night brilliant. I love that film. Betty white was great.
Better than Squirm? by CuervoJones	Aug 13th, 2007 07:45:53 AM
Try Slugs, classic 80´s spanish crap
THEM! remake by CuervoJones	Aug 13th, 2007 07:52:07 AM
It was called Aliens.
But let's admit, Sssssss was way ahead of its time.. by 2for2true	Aug 13th, 2007 07:56:35 AM
What other movie offered you men changing nto snakes? That last scene of the guy on the table in the freak show still creeps me out....
Never saw Conan the Barbarian, 2for2true??? by Nice Marmot	Aug 13th, 2007 08:12:58 AM
And Magic Rat, there is a some good source material for a giant snapping turtle flick out of Indiana, in the "Beast of Busco." Look it up. Native Americans and whiteys both claimed they saw a giant, 500 pound snapping turtle between the 1890s & 1940s.
Squirm > Slugs by TheBloop	Aug 13th, 2007 08:45:10 AM
though SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS was the shit.

Every aussie horror movie by BigFo	Aug 13th, 2007 11:15:16 AM
gets compared to early Peter Jackson movies. I think the accents are fooling people.
Every few years... by Kid Z	Aug 13th, 2007 11:25:52 AM
... there's a giant, killer alligator/crocodile movie. Every few years, that movie sucks. Every few years, that movie bombs at the box office. Every few years, that movie is run endlessly on basic cable and... every few years we rip on that movie. WTF? Does H/wood just churn 'em out to antagonize us?!!?
zbobroberts by half vader	Aug 13th, 2007 11:42:15 AM
Vinegar tits - who do you mean, Arkie Whiteley or Judy Morris (who co-wrote Happy Feet!)? Or are you mistakenly thinking of someone else?
Didn't the sorta, kinda remake Squirm? by Kid Z	Aug 13th, 2007 12:42:34 PM
Creepy, inbred southern town invaded by nasty li'l slimey critters... Slither! They just cribbed the "mind-controlling alien parasite" thing from a million other movies, and the "aliens impregnate human causing them to bloat up to immense proportions" from a Garth Ennis comic. Bad CGI and creature FX, box-office kis-O-death Nathan Fillion, loads of fake southern accents... all redeemed somewhat by the unbelievably lovely Elizabeth Banks!
Day of the Triffids remake by chi3fhog	Aug 13th, 2007 12:47:34 PM
Killer plants= next Titanic
I thought Slither was more like by TheBloop	Aug 13th, 2007 01:16:02 PM
Night of the Creeps myself. Any one recall the tv movie from the 70's with these creeepy little dudes who lived the basement? What the hell was that called?
Wolf Creek.... by Johnny Ahab	Aug 13th, 2007 01:54:51 PM
...was uneven and disappointing. It takes 45 minutes of boring Character Development (yaaaawn - the three leads are friends, we get it, MOVE THE STORY ALONG), and it jacks up in terror when the Keira Knightley clone wakes up tied up. Some exciting moments as she and her cute friend Kestie Morassi (the Aussie Jennifer Aniston who I'm in love with now) escape from John Jarratt's terrific Outback Psycho -- but then... they drive their escape vehicle off a cliff to psych him out! Oh yeah, that's a good plan! And they then have to go back to his creepy lair to try to find another car, and McLean has Keira-clone casually moseying around, going DOWN A MINESHAFT (because we know we'll find a car down there) only because he needs the audience to see the pit of human remains of other victims. Then, when she finds a car and should be hightailing it out of there, instead she picks up her friend's camcorder -- and sees that Jarratt has been tracking them all along. Well DUH, I got that -- and then of course Jarratt catches her, and what he does to her is pretty freaking horrifying. That's the problem with this film -- some truly great moments, an awesome villain, but just lots of meandering writing. McLean needed a good producer to shape this thing. The ending is also disturbing and disappointing, and I got mad that the guy character escapes with nothing happening to him, while we watch the sympathetic females get tortured and killed. A main title said "based on true events", so I searched the web for this account - turns out it's veeeeery loosely based on an amalgam of events, which only pissed me off more. I really wanted to like "WOLF CREEK" but it was an exercise in frustration. I'll pass on "ROGUE"...
Oh, and another thing about Wolf Creek... by Johnny Ahab	Aug 13th, 2007 02:08:45 PM
A better, more crackling version of this similar premise (city dwellers stranded out in the middle of nowhere, kidnapped by desert psychopath) was done better by Hollywood -- see Jonathan Mostow's breakout suspenser "BREAKDOWN" with Kurt Russell, and pass on "Wolf Creek".
Giant whatzit by skimn	Aug 13th, 2007 02:10:19 PM
how about the giant bear thing in Prophecy? Looked like a bear with a plate of linguini plastered on the side of its face. Not one of John Frankenheimer's better efforts.
Prophecy ruled! by Nice Marmot	Aug 13th, 2007 02:24:49 PM
I believe the die hard fans refer to it as "Inside Out Bear." Scared me to death as a kid, later made me say WTF??? as an adult. And there's been lots of love for Squirm. I swear, anyone who hasn't seen it needs to check it out. There are 2 scenes that my sister and I grew up laughing out loud at, the dude throwing the door down on the other dude and the timing and sound effects of the worms causing the tree to fall on the house during dinner. HILARIOUS!!!
Nice Marmot, my man... by TheBloop	Aug 13th, 2007 02:29:28 PM
Prophecy did indeed rule. Love the scene were the giant, mutated trout eats the duck. The "big bear" looks really cheesy today, but that little cub in the movie still works if you ask me.
Why no love for SciFi's Snakehead terror? by TheBloop	Aug 13th, 2007 02:31:17 PM
As count floyd would say "that gave me shivers on my goosebumps"...aaaaahoooooo
TheBloop, I'm always down w/ a Prophecy discussion..... by Nice Marmot	Aug 13th, 2007 02:42:29 PM
. . . the cub scared the crap out of me as a kid. I couldn't stand the sound it was making when they found it in the creek. I also freaked out when that raccoon having seizures attacked the cabin. The trout was hilarious but not as funny as the bear swatting that kid who tried to escape by jumping away while still in his damn sleeping bag. Right into a tree. Ouch! If I'm lucky someone else here has seen Deadly Eyes as well. Dachsunds in rat costumes. 'Nuff said . . .
More weird giant shit by skimn	Aug 13th, 2007 03:23:57 PM
Anyone remember a movie from the '50s called the Monolith Monsters. It was a "giant monster" that was actually a quartz crystal that grew when exposed to water. It would grow to the size of a large building then fall. The debris would grow during rainfall, and eventually it threatened a small town, by falling on it. Talk about running of of ideas for giant monsters.
As I sit here trying to remember giant animal movies... by chi3fhog	Aug 13th, 2007 04:27:45 PM
I was reminded of The Giant Claw. I saw it once as a child, probably 25 years ago, but it left an indelible mark. It is always a good one to pull out for the ultimate in obscure 50's monster films. I just Googled it because I literally hadn't seen the creature in decades. Check it out for a good laugh.
To skimn: by chi3fhog	Aug 13th, 2007 04:30:11 PM
You got me with Monolith Monsters. I can't believe I missed that one. Thanks for giving me something to read up on and a good question to stump my Dad with!
Deadly Eyes, without a doubt is... by TheBloop	Aug 13th, 2007 05:06:39 PM
the best move about giant man eating rats, ever. Food of the Gods, dog shit compare to it. Why use CGI when you can just dress dogs up as rats? Save your budget for big name actors like Scatman Crothers and Lisa Langlois.
chi3fhog by skimn	Aug 13th, 2007 06:02:57 PM
Thanks for reminding me of The Giant Claw. I remember the monster puppet looking like a meth addicted vulture on crack. And the mention of Bert I Gordon's Food Of The Gods, has to include his earlier "adaptation" of HG Wells...Village Of The Giants. Nothing scarier than a 30 foot tall Beau Bridges...
Prophecy remake announced!!! by TheBloop	Aug 13th, 2007 08:33:24 PM
SCIFI Channel originals pictures produces a Tim Story film, starring Jason Biggs and Tara Reid, and a CGI Mutant Bear! From the effects crew who brought us "BOA vs PYTHON"!!!
johnny ahab by half vader	Aug 13th, 2007 08:57:28 PM
The similar premise would be Texas Chainsaw, right down to the petrol station. They just swapped Southern/redneck hicks for Aussie hicks. I liked it except for the end (true or not the pacing there was lousy) and agree it was uneven, but geez man, it's really TCM again, like so many horror flicks. You're avoiding Rogue now? Based on your thinking if you went to see American Graffiti which had good bits with meandering writing, you would have boycotted Star Wars. Yep. Some filmmakers do get better after their first films. It's been known to happen
chiefhog by half vader	Aug 13th, 2007 08:59:42 PM
Was that 30 foot tall or 30 foot wide? Ha ha.

Well I haven't seen Razorback for about 6 months by half vader	Aug 14th, 2007 07:56:38 AM
(which was actually the first time I saw it) and I've worked with Judy (who is the one that gets mauled in the car) but I think the woman in Prisoner you're thinking of is Fiona Spence, who played Vera Bennet, "Vinnegar Tits" (what a great name, as was 'the freak') in Prisoner. A funny sidenote is that a friend of mine has the head of the Razorback. It's bloody huge!
Wolf Creek-Nastiest film I'd seen in ages by DannyOcean01	Aug 14th, 2007 08:10:50 AM
Bit where he severs that girls spine. Horrific. Total detachment. Amazing and chilling acting in that.
Since You guys are horror movie experts - Name these, by C.K. Lamoo	Aug 14th, 2007 03:53:34 PM
I remember them but I completely forget the titles. 1. Woman is squeezed to death and stabbed in a party dress during a rock concert while her friends hangs in the closet. A naked woman is also branded with a five pointed star and another woman is killed with a garden rake by a guy in a devil mask. 2. A woman has a pail with a rat in in it tied to her midsection. A blowtorch is applied to the pail, driving the rat crazy until it eats through the woman and comes out her back. 3. A woman is murdered in her back yard and falls on a sprinkler which sticks out of her back and sprays the yard with blood. Another woman is suffocated with a bottle of sun tan lotion. 4. A boy becomes a serial killer after his fraternity brothers sets him up in a fourposter bed with a cadaver whose arms fall off. 5. A woman in a bathrobe is stabbed in the back with a claw hammer. 6. A girl is pulled into an department escalator and strangled while her girlfriends watch in horror. 7. A woman has her foot bitten off by a tiny version of Godzilla. Any assistance would be appreciated and yes, I know I need help.
CK... by chi3fhog	Aug 14th, 2007 05:00:45 PM
The only one I can say for certain I've seen is #2, it certainly rings a bell. Now you have me curious!
C.K. Lamoo... by Big Dumb Ape	Aug 17th, 2007 05:45:08 AM
I have two of them... "4: A boy becomes a serial killer after his fraternity brothers set him up in a four poster bed with a cadaver whose arms fall off." That's the opening prologue of TERROR TRAIN. The boy thinks he's going to lose his virginity to Jamie Lee Curtis, who is whispering to him off to the side through some curtains. He then ends up with the cadaver and freaks out. The movie then jumps ahead several years to a college graduation Halloween train ride and murders start happening. Actually, that movie has a rather wacky ending in terms of revealing "who" the killer is at the end... "7. A woman has her foot bitten off by a tiny version of Godzilla." That's DRAGONSLAYER, and occurs when Princess Elspeth (of the local town) decides to offer herself up as a sacrifice to the dragon. In a good stoy twist, she doesn't actually survive. Galen (Peter MacNicol) -- the so-called Dragonslayer who has a crush on her -- arrives too late to save her. When he finally makes his way into the lair/cave of the Dragon, he finds a baby dragon feeding on the dead Princess...at which point you see the little critter tear off her foot and eat it.
Alligator Movies by jungle jim	Aug 26th, 2008 02:22:45 PM
What is the name of this giant killer Alligator movie? It can't be more than five years old and I forgot what cable channel(US) that I saw it on. It involves about six young people on a houseboat out in the middle of nowhere and they are being stalked by this gator. It was pretty low budget as I can remember.
K.C. Lamoo... by eddie11	Sep 22nd, 2009 10:17:46 AM
If you find the answer to #2 tell us! I have had that movie in my head since I was a kid and Ive been trying to find the name of it like forever!
