Saturday the 14th now on Netflix.... why, exactly? :D

[LouCipherr]

So I was digging through Netflix the other day, looking for something to pass the time and I happened to stumble across Saturday the 14th. I haven't seen that movie since it first arrived on home video! I added it to my queue, got about 15 minutes into it and wondered aloud, "why the hell am I watching this? wtf?!" Anyone else see this, ummmm, "flick"? Weird to say the least.

Gotta be honest, I'll have to "MZ" this one and admit to having never seen it. It sounds like another one of those bad Scary parody films, am I wrong?

[rongravy]

What's amazing is there was a sequel.

I don't think it was a "parody" of a particular film, but was certainly a parody of horror films in general. At least it seemed to be. Honestly, as weird as this flick is, it's kinda hard to tell what they were shooting for! What's amazing is there was a sequel. WHAT!?!? There is actually a sequel to this thing?!?! *insert epic facepalm here*

[LouCipherr]

Cheeky bugger. So, MZ - have you seen Saturday the 14th?

[MinionZombie]

So, MZ - have you seen Saturday the 14th? Nope.

I've never heard of this either. After looking it up on imdb, I'm going to have to give it a shot. It already gave me a laugh that Jeffrey Tambor is in it! Now if only my wireless router wasn't a piece of sh*t and I could use netflix.....

Now if only my wireless router wasn't a piece of sh*t and I could use netflix..... wow. seriously never heard of this? it's a quirky, kinda goofy movie that for some reason i have fond memories of. i'm pretty sure it revolves around richard benjamin's family and the possession of an "evil book." the one thing i do remember is that the tv will only tune into "twilight zone" episodes.

I may have watched the movie in the early 80's. Does this movie have a gillman with a dorsal fin on its head?

I've seen the original, once.... And I've seen the sequel....once... when I was about 12 years old I think. I was a massive fan of Friday the 13th by that point, having spent summer holidays literally renting one after the other after the other.... We were lent Saturday the 14th by a neighbour...at the time I specifically remember it made me laugh about one time, and that was more of a snigger, a slight chuckle. Number 2 was even worse - although I do very specifically remember a guy trying to feed his girlfriend a bit of food after she'd been turned into a lifesized doll, which did make me chuckle. Awful movie.

A dreadful piece of shite, but it was in every video shop when I was a kid. Remember sort of seeing it, but couldn't tell you anything about it. Vaguely remember the cover of the video having a terribly drawn vampire on the front.

[AcesandEights]

Wait a second, hold the presses! Contrary to my early report, I have seen this movie! In fact, for years I tried to figure out the title of this film as I could only remember the tiniest bits and pieces of it from my childhood. Thanks, Lou...I was seriously trying to figure out the name of this movie for ages.

[SymphonicX]

A dreadful piece of shite. My new favourite phrase...next to "you terrible c*nt"

A dreadful piece of shite, but it was in every video shop when I was a kid. Remember sort of seeing it, but couldn't tell you anything about it. Vaguely remember the cover of the video having a terribly drawn vampire on the front. no doubt if i were to watch it today, i would also pronounce it a "dreadful piece of shite" (i'm stealing that phrase by the way). granted, i've not seen this since i was like 12 or 13 and now that i really think about it, i don't care to. i've already fucked up enough fond childhood memories by re-watching stuff as an adult. "land of the lost" being at the top of the list. -- -------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ---------- "you terrible c*nt" man, you guys throw that word around almost to the point where it has no force. that is the one word and i mean the one word that you do not use in public over here. it is so taboo that it borders on the ridiculous. it is also the easiest way to cause a woman to come literally unglued over here. if you do call a woman that, you'd better be quick at ducking because shit is going to start flying at your head.
