Well the town is creepy.......2007-07-05

Just like House of Wax, good set but not so great of a movie. I rented this movie instead of buying it and im glad I did. I have a habit of buying movies before viewiing them. Dvds can be purchased for the price of seeing one in theaters or a rental at the video store. On to the movie, story is pretty weak. I dont see how people enjoyed this been there, done that story that had alright speical effects. Overall, its a renter and not buyer.

Dead on arrival.......2007-07-05

Dead Silence is from director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannel; the same duo who crafted the first Saw film and oversaw their sequels. Dead Silence also marks a departure in terms of changing the pace from the torture horror sub-genre to a more typical slasher fare which we get here. The change isn't necessarily for the better either, even though Dead Silence has more going for it than you may think it does. For starters, it's pretty safe to say that many people think of ventriloquist dolls as being creepy by themselves, and here the film doesn't disappoint. Besides the overly creepy atmosphere though, Dead Silence doesn't do much else right in the horror department, and isn't scary or remotely suspenseful one bit. The gore effects aren't much to write home about either, and the film as a whole just feels lazily put together. In the end, you've just got to feel sorry for Donnie Wahlberg (Saw II and III, Band of Brothers) who gets no help as a detective here. All in all, Dead Silence isn't a total turkey, but there's nothing overly redeeming about it either.

A scary horror film for the first time in forever.......2007-07-03

I'm a big fan of horror movies.cheap ones that make you laugh,gory ones that gross you out,and suspencefull ones that make you jump.I like them all!But I love this one.For the first time since In years I was actually scared.There were some funny parts but unlike most of the time I did not need to pick apart this movie and laugh.The plot was beautiful not to simple or to complicated.Some of the dolls were scary and the lady villan was very scary.Not to mention the scenes were absolutely beautiful.This movie was top notch

Dead Silence.......2007-07-02

I just bought the movie and I also went to see it at the movies. I have to be honest with you. This is the SCARIEST FRIGGIN MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN in theatres! and yes I do watch alot of scary movies, but none of them have ever scared me like Dead Silence. all the scary movies I've ever seen only scared me when something pops out out of nowhere or something happens really fast but in this movie they had like every scary element to keep you scared the whole way. Especially when the dead silence starts and every noise goes quiet, it that feels like when you are about to drop down a rollercoaster really fast, it's like they warn you that something really scary is gonna happen and it does. I still haven't seen it at home but I don't think it's going to be as scary anymore cause I'll just watch it on normal TV with no surround sound

This Movie Sucks BIG WOOD .......2007-07-02

Wow I couldn't believe how crappy this movie turned out to be. They should have shown more of that old creepy looking lady when she was doing her little vaudeville act with her dummy. She was the scariest looking thing in this movie. Forget the dummy. Very boring story. We were laughing and clowning this movie while we sat in the near empty theater. I was more dissapointed from the aspect of I love horror movies and this was a waste of what cold have been pretty cool. When I can't appreciate the movie and when the movie turns its back on me I start the jokes and the comedy. Making fun of this crappy movie was the only thing that got us through this flick.

All I know is Puppet Master would wear his little wooden a#% out.

I gave this one star only because O is not a given choice. Thank you for pointing out that this DVD is only playable on an HD DVD. I would run right out a buy one if only you had included a synopsis of the movie. An HD DVD would cost a lot more than my ordinary DVD, but not as much as spending money on a DVD of which one knows nothing.

A Classic Prine Performance On DVD For The First Time!

For 35 years, John Prine has been writing, singing and recording amazing music. From his self-titled debut album in 1971 to his recent Grammy Award-winning Fair And Square, he is a true songwriting hero to his fans and peers. Discovered by Kris Kristofferson and covered by everyone from the Everly Brothers and Dwight Yoakam, to Bette Midler and 10,000 Maniacs, his original sound and affecting lyrics have given him a kind of stature and longevity uncommon in the music world.

John Prine's appearance on the prestigious PBS concert series Soundstage, offers his fans a real treasure. Included in his set list are the early classics "Angel From Montgomery" and "Hello In There," as well as songs from his signature album, Bruised Orange. We also get a rare and intimate look at John in his hometown of Maywood, Illinois, where he takes us to the actual scene of "The Accident," and then, to the back porch of his childhood home, where he performs "Paradise" and "How Lucky." All of this, plus performances with special guest Billy Lee Riley, document the authentic and natural genius of this singer-songwriter.

Performances:

Automobile
Spanish Pipedream
Fish And Whistle
Angel From Montgomery
The Accident (Things Could Be Worse)
Ubangi Stomp
Hello In There
Paradise
No Name Girl (featuring Billy Lee Riley)
Red Hot (featuring Billy Lee Riley)

Customer Reviews:

FINALLY!!.......2007-04-12

I saw this soundstage show when it first aired in 1980 and loved it. His backup band with John Burns is fantastic. My only disappointment with this dvd is that the sound quality is good but not great, so it might not get played as much as I'd like. i recognize that it's 27 years old, but as a comparison, Neil Young's Live at Massey Hall is 36 years old and that sound quality is fantastic. Go figure. Still a thumbs up and all true Prine fans should have it in their library.

Great performance - poor quality disc.......2007-04-04

This is vintage Prine and I was definitely excited when I saw the announcement of the DVD release. However the video quality of the copy I bought is extremely poor with excessive dropout and lots of video noise. I've had a copy of this program which was recorded off the air on VHS 25 years ago and the quality is as good as this official DVD release.

A must have for fans of great late70s/early80s American musicianship.......2007-03-27

A great sounding show and excellent performance from all involved, heart-wrenching at times and belly-laugh inducing at others.

The DVD authoring isn't fancy but it all works.

Salem's Lot.......2007-05-17

This is one of the best movies made from one of Steven King's novels. It is so full of suspense!

One of the best creepiest films out there.......2007-05-09

This is everything a horror film should be, great combo of Stephan King & Tobi Hooper, doesen't get any better than this. All the true aspects of horror and natural fear are here, very well done one of the best.

Not as good as the book!.......2007-03-15

For me, I loved the book Salem's Lots. In fact it is one of my favorite books of all time. The movie on the other hand just didn't do it for me. It is close to the book as far as the storyline, but the acting and the cheep looking vampire ...not so good.
So I give this movie a 3 at best.

Salems Lot still Holds up as a Top notch Vampire film!.......2007-01-26

ok King had definately outdone himself with this movie about a writer that returns to his hometown only to find something is wrong, Terribly wrong. and worse yet townspeople are fleeing and have already vanished.
come along on stephan kings thrill ride of the Supernatural and immerse your self in this world of Vampires an Absolute Must Own for Vampire Fans!
188 Minutes long too so not a cheap short film either.

Vampires galore.......2007-01-10

Vampires, vampires, vampires, that pretty much includes the movie. A nicely written and performed flashback style movie. Those who are intriqued with David Soul will enjoy it all the more. A few intense moments are the best it offers, if you are looking for slasher type movie you will be disapointed. Over all a good film.

The vampiric Stephen King tale returns to the small screen, 25 years after the first made-for-TV Salem's Lot, a Tobe Hooper-directed ratings hit. This time it's Rob Lowe as a successful writer who returns to his haunted hometown. As a kid, something awful happened to him in the spooky mansion on the hill; now that he's back, the mansion is once again buzzing with evil portents. The physical production (shot in Australia) is convincing, and it's fun to see old pros such as Donald Sutherland, Rutger Hauer, and James Cromwell cutting up in juicy roles. The storytelling, however, feels oddly disjointed, as though King's sprawl had been arbitrarily hacked away rather than adapted (a few big moments are bewilderingly left offscreen). The approach misses the basic assets of a vampire story: the disbelief, the lore, the sex appeal. Instead, it feels like a random collection of bits for short attention spans. --Robert Horton

Customer Reviews:

What's the fuzz about? This is the one true version!.......2007-06-22

Most of the critics here compare this mini-series to the first movie adaption of 1979 and not to the book. And I guess most of them knew the 1979 before they read the book (if at all), and they did it as boys or girls, being scared and thrilled and loving it ever since. If it was the other way round - reading the book first and then watching the two movies (without the fond memories of thirty years inbetween) - the contest wouldn't even be close: This is by far the more faithful adaption of the original story.

Most critics keep coming up with totally irrelevant details: So Straker isn't bold anymore. Who cares? So Matt Burke is an African American and gay. What's the problem there? I find it pretty annoying that most of the detractors here are complaining about this. It's the 21st century, for christ's sake! True, King didn't put any minorities in the book, but this was the 70s, and I'm quite sure he would today.

King had a whole book to develop characters and relationships. This movie only has three hours. So to speed up character development they gave them back stories that weren't originally there: Ben was in Afghanistan, Burke is gay, the doctor had a crush on Sandy, etc. etc. It is all in sinc with the feel of the mood of the original story. This is movie making 101, actually.

And then Barlow. What an improvement on the first version! I mean, James Mason was a fine Straker in 1979, and Donald Sutherland is slightly overacting here. But coming from the book's Barlow I was sorely disappointed to find that Tobe Hooper had turned him into a blue skinned caricature of Max Schreck. Here we have Rutger Hauer - who was born to play King's seductive and charming villain. Again, the choice isn't even close.

So, if you don't mind having black and gay characters in your story and if you love the book, especially its non-horror aspects, this is the movie for you. Of course, you can always turn to a wooden 70s monster flick, if you like. But don't pretend it has anything to do with Stephen King.

Good But not Great.......2007-05-12

Good movie, but not nearly as good as the origional. Barlow is a jolk in this film compared to the amazing Barlow from the Tobe Hooper film, plus the Toby Hooper Salem's Lot is so much more scarier and has so many more horror elements contained within it, even the skull in the moon at the end with the burning house is so spooky. This film however did have good parts to it and was explained in more detail but it is not nearly as spooky as it should have been, too much explaining and not enough development. Over all 3/10 worth watching but not nearly as amazing as the origional which is a 10/10 spook fest.

SUCKS.......2007-04-26

Garbage. They tweaked it in every place that didn't need tweaking. Straker is no longer bald, Matt Burke is no longer caucasion, and now he's gay. The bus driver is now a vietnam vet instead of korea. In this adaptation, Ben Mears was the kid who found the bodies of Hubie Marsten and his wife. The story begins in winter instead of late summer. Ralphie Glick doesn't just go missing, he's drowned in an icey pond. Instead of Ben Mears coming to town and finding the Marsten house already sold, Crockett has already promised it to Mears, but now he's renegged and sold it out from under him. I don't see the point. They didn't just change the story, they didn't leave anything intact. It's bad. It's unwatchable, especially if you loved the book. None of the characters have Maine accents... Hmm. Could it have been filmed in... oh I dunno... AUSTRALIA PERHAPS??

Not great, but not totally bad, either!!!!!.......2007-03-23

I remember trying to watch the newer television version of Salem's Lot when it was first on TNT a few years ago, but it just didn't grab me at the time. I hate watching a mini-series on television that has a ton of commercials. Also, the little bit that I saw of the show didn't appear to be any more chilling or scary than the original version had been. For some strange reason, television and Stephen King simply don't mix very well. Almost everything by King that's been done for television has turned out to be rather mediocre at best. Some of it has been downright awful. That's not to say that I don't own the DVDs of The Stand and The Shining and Nightmares & Dreamscapes. I do. It's just that I seldom watch them, except for maybe "Battleground" in the Nightmares & Dreamscapes series. That was an EXCELLENT adaptation of a Stephen King story. The best that's ever been done for television. I wish the rest of King's stuff that's been done for television was just as good as "Battleground," but it isn't. Which brings me back to Salem's Lot. I found a good price on the DVD and decided to give the movie another chance, but without the commercials. I'm glad I did. Though the mini-series still had its share of problems, I certainly enjoyed it more this time around. Rob Lowe takes over the role of Ben Mears from David Soul, playing a writer who returns to his small hometown to write a book about evil and ends up having to fight it tooth and nail. Rutger Hauer plays the vampire, Barlow, and Donald Sutherland plays his assistant, Straker. Both of them take over the evil Marsten House that overlooks the town of Jerusalem's Lot, and it isn't long before people start disappearing. Andre Braugher and Samantha Mathis play Ben's friends and accomplices in fighting the vampires. James Cromwell plays Father Callahan, the priest who lacks the faith to destroy the evil that's taking over his town. It's been so long since I read the novel that I unable to tell just how well the newer television version actually holds up. I will say that it's difficult to find someone to root for. None of the characters appear to be very likable. Still, the special effects are well done, and both Sutherland and Hauer steal the show with their over the top performances. It's easy to see that both men were enjoying themselves and hamming it up to a certain degree. Rob Lowe does a good job with his character, but David Soul was infinitely a more likable actor in the original series. I liked it that one of the search dogs in the movie was named Cujo, though he wasn't a St. Bernard. The movie runs three hours in length, and the last third is by far the best part, though there is one scene in the middle where a vampire in a jail cell squeezes into a tiny air vent in an attempt to get to Lowe, who's in a cell that's further down the corridor. That was a cool effect! While not a 5-star film, Salem's Lot is definitely not a 1-star movie, either. I am happy that I now have it for my "Stephen King" film library. Last, the DVD doesn't have any extras on it. It would've been nice if there had been an interview with Stephen King and maybe some of the cast and crew, explaining why Salem's Lot was being remade and what they hoped to accomplish with the newer version. No such luck. It's like everyone took the money and ran!!!

Misterious and scary.......2007-01-04

IT is a misterious and scary movie that can scare anyone.
One of Stephen King's best!
The only bad thing about this movie is that it last's too long
but it is one of my favorite and scariest movies.

Awesome concert.......2007-04-08

It's great to have these classic concerts on DVD. This was shot in Buffalo on or near the 4th of July. About half way through the DVD it started to rain and it must have been warm b/c as far as you can see on the DVD it was pouring and no one left.

Great DVD for background music at a party or just a relaxing night at home.

The music was great and we absolutely love the Goo Goo Dolls, but the camera work and the footage was not very well done.

i loved this concert footage, and watching give it their all in the pouring rain was awesome! the extra footage to prep for the concert was interesting too. i highly recommend it.

excellent.......2005-12-09

as a musician myself who has performed on stage, this band has my respect for being able to play in the downpour and to sound great while doing it. I liked a few of their songs and have only their "a boy named..." album, but when I saw this DVD I realized how great they are. I didn't care for the segment where the drummer buys the Clinton book (why that was in there, I don't know). Otherwise, this is one of the best concerts I have ever seen- absolutely amazing performance. You'll be amazed at how motivational the band is by continuing to play.

I was really surpised on how this movie was so different-To go back in time & change your life, was really unpredictable. It was just great!!!

For anyone who has ever longed for a second chance with the one they "gave away".....for anyone who has ever wished they could go back and do something over in a different way...have that second chance to say things that went unsaid or maybe to try and say them better...or even just the urge to re-experience a special point in time when "feeling" was what life was all about, this movie should be right up your alley.

It is a sweet and charming little love story that i have actually watched a few times.......and still like it!

Unwrap The Christmas Joy.......2007-02-12

I must say I enjoyed this movie very much. It is a retrospective of Eve's
choices. Sometimes an individual looks back on a situation wishing that they could reexamine a decision. This movie is a fine example that Christmas is a magical time. That a person can get what they wish for.
Eve looks for happiness in New York, but she has to go home to Oregon and the road lest traveled. She finds happiness with Scott by making her Christmas wish.

Humanity's fear of the dark provides Darkness Falls with some anxiety and fuels some jolts of fear from things popping out of nowhere. A kindly woman, who used to give children gold coins in exchange for their lost baby teeth, was hanged for a murder she didn't commit; in her last moments she laid a curse on the town (which has the unlikely name of Darkness Falls). So over the years the ghost of this woman has murdered various children because they saw her when she came to collect their teeth. In the present day, a boy who evaded her clutches returns to town as an adult in order to help the young brother of his childhood sweetheart--and from there this incoherent, inane movie is one long chase sequence without a glimmer of imagination or intelligence. --Bret Fetzer

Description

Kyle Walsh (Chaney Kley) must return home to confront his troubled past and save his childhood sweetheart Caitlin (Emma Caulfied), and her younger brother (Lee Cormie), from an unrelenting evil that has plagued the town of Darkness Falls for more than one hundred and fifty years.

Alot better than people are saying it is here.......2007-05-23

I liked this movie and in my opinion, was presented the way the orginal fairy tale of the tooth fairy was written. Orginal fairy tales were written for adults with "adult subject matter" to them. Fairy tales were never written for children (Grimm Fairy Tales), hence that is why this was made into a horror film. The story was written well and also presented well on screen. It does have it's scares and "jumps" in this one just like all good horror movies have. See this movie for yourself and make up your own mind. I liked it "horror fairy tale" is what made it very different. I highly recommend this movie to anyone that loves "adult fairy tales" and horror movies combined.

Just another horror movie, not so bad !.......2007-01-04

Not the worst I have ever seen, but not the best. You don't have to wait half an hour to get into action. The movie itself last an hour and fifteen minutes ...On a good home cinema, I must say that the sound is pretty good, prepare yourself to jump a few times ! The filmmakers had succeed in creating a tension that is almost omni-present. Not that bad but not a masterpiece to add to your DVD collection eighter.

Way better than everyone thinks.......2006-09-17

I was very plesantly surprised by this movie. Very few horror movies in the last 15 years are well done or provide an interesting and scary antagonist as well as having an original, creative storyline. This is definitely one of the better horror movies to come out in the last 5-10 years. The opening montage [...] in right away and is superbly done, and the witch and darkness are enough to carry this through. It's an enjoyable horror movie that provides a great premise. The acting is slightly above average and certainly nothing insulting. 5 stars for what will provide me much entertainment well into the future upon repeated viewings. Also, listen to the director's commentary and deleted scenes. They always make you appreciate a movie more.

We should be safe here.......2006-09-13

How many times in this movie did a minor character say the words "We should be safe here" about 1 second before he or she is wisked away by the 'tooth fairy'? At least 6 times and it became so tiresome to hear that line and know what was coming before he or she finished speaking. This movie stunk. I gave it 2 stars because the 'tooth fairy' was something of a well done evil creature. None of the main characters had any redeeming value.

tooth fairy reeks havoc!.......2006-07-08

A phantom who takes the last baby tooth of every child in the town....and if you make the mistake of peeking at her, you're doomed!

There are only two good things about this movie:
1. Plot -A demented tooth fairy out for blood!
2. The mask worn by the demented tooth fairy.

I loved the idea of taking such a pleasant child hood tale and twisting it into a demented story, but the movie itself was bland. It might have been a bit better if they expanded to it cover more victims....and not had her only chasing a small group of boring people. It almost seemed beneath her to keep chasing the older guy. I kept thinking, "Just kill him and be done with it already! There are so many more people to terrorize."

Description

Twenty years ago, a demonic massacre in a sleepy Southern town left two young siblings as the lone survivors. But for adult Cole (Eric Mabius of RESIDENT EVIL) and his younger sister Heather (Charisma Carpenter of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and ANGEL), an obsession with their parents' satanic slaughter has lasted a lifetime. Now through Cole's psychic connection with a group that includes an outlaw biker (John Amos of THE WEST WING), a traumatized cop (Jeffrey Combs of RE- ANIMATOR) and a mysterious healer (Dee Wallace of CUJO and THE HOWLING), vengeance is about to take a very unholy turn. Tonight they will all be brought together in a place where depraved secrets are exposed, legions of the damned are unleashed, and the final battle between Good and Evil will be fought beneath the VOODOO MOON.

Too many unanswered questions..........2007-01-07

Having just spent the last 90 something minutes of my life watching Voodoo Moon, I have too many unanswered questions. The first and most important is "Did the movie creators loose interest or run out of budget?" This is very much an unfinished work, a diamond in the rough that was never honed.

After the first hour, I was ready to give Voodoo Moon a 4 or 5 star rating. The characters have potential, the plot was intricately woven, everyone had a role to play in this great fight against good and evil, and there were a hundred small subplot just waiting to be resolved. The villain even alluded to `making' the hero twenty years ago. Cool! How did that happen I wondered eagerly. I was almost bouncing up and down in my seat when I heard about a really cool underwater ghost town. YAY! This was going to be fun!

Then....

Nothing. No subplots were tied up. The main plot isn't resolved. It isn't like they tie up a few loose ends then prepare you for a sequel- that's not the feeling that you get here. No ones powers were explained, the big, build up fight took ten seconds, and the main `boss' villain was defeated in a silly, too easy way.

If the movie had been developed more, polished more, it would have been great. As it is now, watch it only if you want to have some cool character ideas to play around with in your mind, because nothing will be fixed on screen.

Bottom line, I can't recommend it in good conscience.

Actually not half bad.......2006-12-24

Lately, there's been a lot of direct to DVD horror movies released by Anchor Bay (It Waits, Room 6, Demon Hunter); just about all of which have been nothing worth seeing. I expected the same from Voodoo Moon, but surprisingly it's not a total crud-fest like I had expected it to be. Eric Mabius (Resident Evil) and Buffy and Angel's Charisma Carpenter star as siblings with tragic pasts, that soon find themselves holed up with a few other people as demonic forces threathen them. Predictable to the extreme, Voodoo Moon is surprisingly enjoyable for what it is, with Mabius being a surprisingly decent hero, and Carpenter looking as beautiful as ever, though her comedic talents which Buffy and Angel fans know by heart, don't get to be put on display. The action scenes are mostly decent, and the rest of the cast, including Re-Animator icon Jeffrey Combs and the Howling's Dee Wallace, are good as well. All in all, if you're looking for an enjoyable B-movie romp that doesn't take itself super seriously, check out Voodoo Moon.

A little voodoo to satisfy your appetite........2006-12-03

After viewing this little gem I can honestly say I don't care what other reviewers have to say. It's that good. High protein horror trip that provides some terrific fun in the old battle of Good vs. Evil.
One has to be a bit skeptical with a production that is written, directed, and edited by the same person. That person, in this case, is Kevin VanHook, who has done a commendable job of storytelling without getting his audience wrapped up in annoying theatrics. No bobbling cameras, filtered color, or gore for gore's sake. Straight forward action with some excellent special effects; so well done and very effective.
A truly professional cast with John Amos almost stealing the show.
Now for the best part. The ending. NO SPOILERS HERE. But what a great piece of cinematic genius. You'll sit back and say...wait a minute...oh my God...that's cool...real cool.
Viewing "VOODOO MOON" will cast a spell on you.
You'll want to see it again.

VOODOO LUNACY.......2006-10-19

Derivative and disjointed, VOODOO MOON nonetheless manages to be an entertaining little horror movie, with good performances and production values.
A demon has wiped out an entire village, resulting in its being flooded to make a lake for a new water supply. Two of its survivors, Corey and Heather, are gifted with varying psychic powers. He's like an exorcist and she can draw pictures that foretell the future. Corey has dedicated his life to fighting this nasty demon but now has one final showdown in which he enlists the help of people he has saved from this demon in the past. He also convinces his sister to join in his quest. It's all been done before and it's reminiscent of the tv series SUPERNATURAL and even the PROPHECY movie franchise. Eric Mabius is a buffed up, stolid hero; BUFFY'S Charisma Carpenter is his sister; Rik Craig is the demonic Daniel; the ageless John Amos looking pretty fit for a man in his sixties plays a biker; the ubiquitous Jeffrey Combs is the zombie-like cop; and Dee Wallace shows up as some kind of healer whom Corey rescued.
It's all pretty hokey but it's tale of good vs. evil is given some refreshing life.

Decent offering!.......2006-10-14

IDT/Anchor Bay is definitely making a name for themselves. I almost didn't buy this DVD for some crappy reviews I read. I'm so glad I got it now. It is a full featured DVD with animated screens, documentaries, and loads of extras. Its a B movie and it has everything I love about a good B movie. A solid B+ on that scale. Decent acting great storyline and a cool plot. Some of the effects were even a step up from the B movie bar. They put in a lot of detail work and extra effort on the effects and performances. It is definitely worth the look...I'm pleased to add it to my shelf.
