Wait. You're not going to watch Flight of the living dead? Urgh.... Remember when they didn't show SyFy channel type movies during fear fest.

I watched this today. It had a slow start but I thought it was a cheesy fun movie.

Phantom Stranger

"30 Days Of Night: Dark Days" (2010)
                                         -Kiele Sanchez

Plot: IMDB

It has been a year since the isolated Alaskan town of Barrow's population was decimated by vampires during its annual month long sunset. Riddled with grief over the death of her husband Eben, bound by nightmares and void of all emotions beyond hate and sorrow, Stella Oleson has spent the past months traveling the world, trying to convince others that vampires exist. Met with skepticism and laughter, she is ready to throw in the towel when a group of lost souls offers an incredible opportunity: the chance to exact revenge upon Lilith, the vampire queen responsible for the assault on her sleepy Alaskan town. With nothing remaining to live for, and nothing left to fear, Stella joins their mission and ventures into the uncharted underbelly of Los Angeles where she pushes herself to the most extreme limits to stop the evil from striking again.

Phantom's Review: For a straight to DVD sequel, this film was surprisingly good. Co-written by Steve Niles (creator of  the original comic book), this film has a gritty, almost documentary style to it. Kiele Sanchez ("The Glades") takes over from Melissa George as Stella and she does a fine job. The villain, the vampire queen Lilith, has an old fashioned look about her and I enjoyed that. Plenty of gore and very little CGI FX. I enjoyed this film quite a lot, far more than I thought I would.

Both are classics, which one do you like better?

Probably the Carpenter version just because I remember the fervor it created when released. You really can't go wrong either way.

Phantom Stranger

"After.Life" (2009)
                    -Christina Ricci, Liam Neeson

After a horrific car accident, Anna (Ricci) wakes up to find the local funeral director Eliot Deacon (Neeson) preparing her body for her funeral. Confused, terrified and feeling still very much alive, Anna doesn't believe she's dead, despite the funeral director's reassurances that she is merely in transition to the afterlife. Eliot convinces her he has the ability to communicate with the dead and is the only one who can help her. Trapped inside the funeral home, with nobody to turn to except Eliot, Anna is forced to face her deepest fears and accept her own death. But Anna's grief-stricken boyfriend Paul (Long) still can't shake the nagging suspicion that Eliot isn't what he appears to be. As the funeral nears, Paul gets closer to unlocking the disturbing truth, but it could be too late; Anna may have already begun to cross over the other side.

Phantom's Review: a true WTF kind of movie. Strange, bizarre and very weird  The actors all do great jobs and the story is interesting. The film has an almost Poe like quality  in it's plot line. And I'll be honest with you...I'm not quite sure what happens at the end, but the film held my interest. 

Phantom Stranger

"The Creeping Flesh" (1973)
                        -Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing

Plot: IMDB
A Victorian-age scientist returns to London with his paleontological bag-of-bones discovery from Papua New Guinea. Unfortunately, when exposed to water, flesh returns to the bones unleashing a malevolent being on the scientist's family and friends.

Phantom's Review: Strange, but interesting little movie. Lee gets top billing, but Cushing is the real main star and sadly these two icons share very little screen time together. The plot is a bit convoluted but it holds your interest and the final scenes with the "monster" are very creepy. Not one of the greats but very entertaining.

Masters of Horror: Dreams in the Witchhouse by Stuart Gordon.  Based on a Lovecraft short.  Loved the rat.

Always enjoy this movie. Caught this on TCM last night. Was that Karen Black hosting? I missed the first couple minutes, but she looked good!
