I haven't seen it since it first came out on video though, so another screening may be in order.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-69066513799036835782007-11-16T12:31:00.000-08:002007-11-16T12:31:00.000-08:00I think they should have ended it with the monkey ...I think they should have ended it with the monkey coming out of his back in surgery. That would have been priceless. <BR/><BR/>The monkey was cute....I thought it was the saddest thing when he coaxed her over with the music and she was hugging him, when he killed her doggie style(shaking her around with her teeth).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-68185185607360277042007-11-15T19:56:00.000-08:002007-11-15T19:56:00.000-08:00i have season of the witch and i find most people ...i have season of the witch and i find most people hate it, but i do not mind it so much. also the dark half is just great.<BR/><BR/>i don't recall monkey shines as much as i thought i did, i may have to re-watch it; though i remember being young, and the cover was a monkey with cymbal-- much like the stephen king book with the mist-- and i was really scared of it :(Kolleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738326294612142773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-13241189586850592192007-11-15T00:58:00.000-08:002007-11-15T00:58:00.000-08:00Two Evil Eyes is great, and would definitely quali...Two Evil Eyes is great, and would definitely qualify for HMAD. Both stories are really nicely told, with solid actors and good production values. I frist saw it in a plush cinema in Madrid, just after I'd moved there. It was dubbed into Spanish, which I couldn't speak at the time, but I still thought it was great!<BR/><BR/>I agree maybe Knightriders isn't really a horror movie though....pot head pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04043225264662244387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-48084325022518339702007-11-14T10:50:00.000-08:002007-11-14T10:50:00.000-08:00This is worth seeing just for the line, "You're a ...This is worth seeing just for the line, "You're a clinical cunt."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-86080611188396079092007-11-14T10:24:00.000-08:002007-11-14T10:24:00.000-08:00I like Monkey Shines too.

They stand up with Romero's best.<BR/><BR/>Don't know if Knightriders would qualify for HMAD, but I can't recommend this one enough. It's one of my favorites from any genre.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-61624625049660115362007-11-14T08:27:00.000-08:002007-11-14T08:27:00.000-08:00I've seen the first 20 or so min of Martin... fell...I've seen the first 20 or so min of Martin... fell asleep watching it when I was like 17 and never finished it, lol.
