Favorite Euro Horror film?

[RyanPC]

I just wanted to know what everyone's favorite Euro Horror film was. Mine is Fulci's Zombie... that film, in my opinion, has everything and is his best work. Of course, my other faves are Deep Red, Suspiria, City of the Living Dead, The Beyond, Blood and Black Lace, and Twitch of the Death Nerve. Even though I cannot yet say it is my favorite, I have a deep interest in Franco's Virgin Among the Living Dead and am curious about his other work.

[DefJeff]

my overall favorite is Beyond the Darkness

honorable mention goes to:

Female Vampire
House on the Edge of the Park
Nekromantik
Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals

[mcchrist]

Viy or Zombie (at the moment)

[RyanPC]

I never saw any of the ones you mentioned, Jeff. I do really want to see Female Vampire and House on the Edge of the park, though! :lol:

What is Viy?

[Andrew]

I'd have to say THE BEYOND. And I think it's the first time I've definitively said it. Oh well, I'm sure it'll change. And there are way too many runner ups to even list.

[mcchrist]

Viy is a freaky Russian flick from the late 60's. I'll post a review about it this week. I am so glad they put this on DVD, that was one bootleg I never thought I'd get rid of.

Shit, That'd be Asian wouldn't it?

OK, I've changed my mind. My favorite eurohorror is:

Day of the Beast
Zombie
Tombs of the Blind Dead

[Grim]

Yeah, me too. But there are others that probably tie with it like:

Demons
Opera
Suspiria
and probably some more

[hell ya!]

DEEP RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! followed by Suspiria , Tenebre, City of The Living Dead and HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD:evil: :evil:

[RyanPC]

I really love Opera, for got to list it as one of my faves. I also love Demons, but it isn't one of my faves. Hell of the Living Dead is cool but I only like it based on camp value. I've never seen Tenebre, but desperately want to... I KNOW I will LOVE it!

Giallos and zombie films are probably my favorite kind of film, as you might have noticed. That is funny because my all-time favorite movie Carrie, which is totally American.

There are a lot of Euro horror films that I really want to see but haven't had the chance. I could name a million of them, but for the sake of space, I won't! :D :D :D

DEEP RED RULES! :fire: :fire: :fire:

[Nemesis]

hmmm i havent seen that many euro flicks so i cant really say, but one thing i will say is that i am yet to see a single euro flick that ill love straight away... they almost always need a good few hours/day to sink in for me to truely appreciate it... maybe a second viewing or a review or something..

suspiria was pretty cool, got lost a bit during it coz i couldnt hear what people were saying over the loud music.... zombie was ok too but it took a while to kick in... start was a bit slow

would lair of the white worm be classified as a euro flick? britain is in europe after all! :) if it is then thats probably one of my faves

[newt]

House by the Cemetery!:eek1:

[legnadibrom]

i agree with defjeff, "beyond the darkness," but it probably switches with "zombie" "phenomena" and "dellmorte dellmore" every couple of months

[zombi3]

City of the Living Dead
Hell of the Living Dead
Beyond the Darkness
Zombie
The Beyond
Cannibal Apocalypse
Cannibal Ferox
Rats
Burial Ground

...there's a lot more - way too many to mention.:evil:

[Mortis]

Not that I've given it much thought, but I'll say Phenomena. I've spun that flick quite a few times. I mean, hell, Iron Maiden *and* Pleasence?

:banana:

[dvdasia62]

Profondo Rosso

[Atmims]

Cannibal Holocaust is at the top for me. Runner ups are:

House on the Edge of the Park
Cannibal Ferox

[Cydeous]

In no particular order:

Suspiria
Inferno
Deep Red
Dellamorte Dellamore
House with the Laughing Windows
La Visione del Sabba
....

[RyanPC]

I forgot the cannibal films! I love Cannibal Ferox and Cannibal Apocalypse, Jungle Holocaust was alright but maybe not one of my faves. I did enjoy Zombie Holocaust, which is I guess a zombie/cannibal/slasher film. :glasses:

And yes, I would consider Lair of the White Worm as a Euro flick if it was made in Britain.

Speaking of Britain, does anyone here like the film Frightmare (1974)? I enjoyed it very much, although I can't say it is one of my faves.

I also really want to see Beyond the Darkness, I keep hearing all of these great things about it. Do you really think I should buy it?

[RyanPC]

Oh yeah, and I really want to see Cannibal Holocaust although I can't find it anywhere around here. I heard Image might be releasing it on DVD, although it's been delayed countless times... is there any hope????? :confused:

:lol:

[DVD Connoisseur]

My faves:

Deep Red
Tenebre
Opera
The Beyond
City of the Living Dead
Don't Torture A Duckling

Hmmm. I posted a review on this ages back - my opinion varied from the majority. Here's the link::D

[RyanPC]

Thanks for the review... maybe I'll see it after all... there is no place around here to rent it (I don't think) so maybe I will buy it.

[DefJeff]

check it out ryan, this is my review of Beyond the Darkness

Thanks for the review Jeff, now I'm pretty sure that I'll buy it! :D

Atmims, is your avatar from House on the Edge of the Park?

Here here, Mortis! Phenomena is my fav as well - even if I find myself popping in the truncated version *Creepers* a hell of a lot more - the 82 min. cut moves at a much swifter pace.

Others-

Tenebre
Opera
Cannibal Holocaust
Zombie
Demons
Cut & Run (horror, action-gore mish-mash, who cares)
House on the Edge of the Park
Buried Alive
Stage Fright
Burial Ground

And the inimitable PIECES!!!!

[NickyDoyle]

Tenebre
DellaMorte DellaMore
Buio Omega
Black Sunday
Tombs of the Blind Dead
Andy Warhol's Frankenstein (well, half Euro)
Don't Torture a Duckling

And more to follow as I rent/buy more movies

[RyanPC]

I forgot that on my Zombi 3 DVD there is a trailer for Beyond the Darkness. I watched it and it looks great! Now I know I'll have to pick it up!!! :D

yep, one of the many cool scenes from the movie! ;)

[RyanPC]

How did you put on a moving avatar?

[thrashard76]

My favorite without a doubt is my Beyond Tin. It is filled with extras and the movie itself is gorgeous! :eek1: I love ALL the extras on this release. A fine job from Grindhouse Releasing and AB. :D We're all still waiting on that Cannibal Holocaust SE Grindhouse...so how 'bout it?! :D

[R. I. P.]

I'm just beginning to appreciate Gialo and Euro-Horror in general. I haven't seen too many of these intriguing films just yet, but those I have seen are most memorable. They are:

"What Have You Done To Solange?"
"Seven Blood Stained Orchids"
"Suspiria"
"Torso"
"Beyond The Darkness"
"Tenebre"
"Bird With The Crystal Plumage"

All of the above are excellent and I would have a hard time choosing which one to be a favorite currently. :p

R. I. P. :glasses:

[Nemesis]

the only way i get to see ANY decent euro horror movies is to buy the dvds from region 1 or 2 because we dont get ANY of them in ANY form whatsoever in australia ;(

[Blue Holocaust]

Deep Red is my all-time favorite.
And here's my top 10:
1-Deep Red
2-Suspiria
3-Inferno
4-Blood and Black Lace
5-Zombie
6-Don't Torture a Duckling
7-The Beyond
8-Buio Omega
9-Dellamorte Dellamore
10-Cannibal Holocaust

[RyanPC]

Well, now I have to say I have two favorites and I don't like one more than the other. They are "Zombie" and "Deep Red"-- my two all-time favorite Euro horror films. They are both great and Deep Red, in my opinion, is so clever that it's ridiculous! Both excellent movies, and if you haven't seen them already you MUST SEE THEM ASAP!!! lol :D :lol: :banana:

[Mortis]

My buddy rented Creepers a long time ago from some old video rental place. I was so happy to find out it was released on DVD as Phenomena.

Viy or Zombie (at the moment) Dude, I'm really interested in VIY now. I found out there's a R1 DVD, and read some stuff on it today. Then later I mentioned it to my girlfriend (who's Russian) and she told me it was scary as fuck, but good. So yeah, I think it'll be one of my next purchases.

[mcchrist]

Dude, it rocks! The visuals are on par with Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages, and its just so damn unnerving. One of the best purchases I've ever made.

"Viy" is a great movie but "scary as fuck" doesn't really describe it. It has an unsetteling atmosphere and is also quite funny but it really isn't all that frightning. I only mention this so you don't get disappointed when you finally watch it. I'd like to hear your take on it, though.

[PELOQUIN]

Grapes of Death by jean rollin but i must says that it marked me, that movie push me to realise that euro dudes were quite weird and after that i felt for stuff by Bava and got finally cought into argento's fulcis and so on. but that french weirdos got me away from everything from our native ground and that alone was good enought for me. thx freako! (i must say that italien and portugese or so f$%@ing violent and macho)

[legnadibrom]

that blind bitch is quite the looker...

[rhett]

It is damn tough to pick just one, so I will pick my top five at the moment:

The Beyond
Cannibal Holocaust
Don't Torture A Duckling
Tenebre
Nosferatu, The Vampyre

[RyanPC]

I love the Beyond and Nosferatu The Vampire! :)

[KillSwitch]

Day of the Beast is my favourite. :) Followed by -
The Beyond
