The Guess a Movie Screenshot Thread Version 2.0

Guess I could throw some hints out.

  • we are in the horror realm
  • neither Italian nor American

A wild guess, The Vanishing (1988)?

Charlie’s Farm

This film is part of a well known exploitation genre though.

A Canadian film?

Hopefully one of these faces will be familiar enough to place, you’ve certainly seen it in a more recent western :wink:

Next of Kin (1982). I knew I’d seen the movie, oh well.

I’d never heard of it. What type of exploitation genre within horror is it? I can’t tell by Wikipedia’s description. I was thinking horror exploit genres like cannibal, slasher, splatter…

It’s called ozploitation, but I get your confusion, the label is kind of confusing and makes little sense to be quite honest, as it apparently refers to all Australian B-movies from the 1970s and 1980s. The movie is really fucking good by the way.

Thanks, Mickey. I forgot about Ozploitation. I’ll check it out as I trust your recommendations. I read Tarantino liked it and I assume Rutledal did as well.

Cheers.

I tracked the movie down primarily because of Klaus Schulze’s soundtrack and it turned out brilliant with lots of astonishingly atmospheric bits and assured direction, your mileage may obviously vary though.

It’s one of so-called proto-giallos. The same director who directed this would go on to make another fairly well-known genre example some time later down the road.

The Possessed 1965 ?

Spot on, @Lone_Gringo, over to you, sir. :+1:

Thanks Mickey,… it’s a good mystery/giallo film, seen it years ago.

Ok, here’s a Sci-Fi Horror flick.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Species?

Right Massimo, over to u.

Thanks, Lone Gringo. The equation was Sci-Fi/Horror + foxy blond. :fox_face:

I don’t have many quality stills for this one so the sooner the better. :wink

The lead actor has two separate well know lines from 2 movies(not this one) that he cries out at the end of those movies. Plus, the actor has other well known lines in one of those movies.

Charlton Heston in…uh, Counterpoint?
