In my opinion, what ruins most movies is there lack of taste for their gore, they splash it on as much of they can as opposed to using the idea of something horrific, or slight use of blood and violence, because when people think about something that is about to happen, half the time they can build themselves up to an idea that can be more scary than what they show.  Although in some movies, like slashers, zombie movies etc the use of ultra violence...Oh, also Miike movies lol...becomes needed on occasion.  But lets be realistic, it takes a rare special movie to make a "stupendous" breakthrough in those genres, although it does happen - 28 Days Later for example.

Also, I think the writting is the movie, not just the most important part.  Without a solid story it changes horror movies.  Definate writting quality difference between Seven and I know What You Did Last Summer.

I am in the midst of listening to this PodCast - needless to say I am a little behind the times, eh?  You are doing, did, or however a great job.  Funny stuff, and some new info!  Good discussion points also.

Podcast 2 is next!

I had to admit I agree a little with some fans online that it looked like the Pred was about to make out with her.   Thankfully didn't last that long and the Queen was up outta the ice and za battle started up again.

I should also mention that the AVP ending with the girl becoming friends with the Pred...as I recall that is straight out of Dark Horse's graphic novels of a lone human battling alongside a Predator.

But it does prove one thing, if you wish to defeat or have a chance at battling a horror titan...use their weapon.  Jason-machete...Freddy, Pinhead, Tall Man- psychic powers, Michael Myers- Kitchen knife

I must agree it does have some comedy in it and I really like it as the over the top '80s horror splatter fun fest that it is.  And great to see Hooper in a cameo

I did like the movie, but not as a horror film, as a slapstick comedy.

We already have ideas for Episode 2 worked out
