Everything I Watched in June 2024 RANKED | Horror, Blu-rays, Retro Movies 

Cape Fear is one of my favorites. Here’s some random trivia: Cady’s first assault victim is Barrie Chase, who is still around in her 90s. She is also the ONLY living cast member of It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

You stating that Death Wish 2 was better than the first film made me realize something: one cannot judge a film completely and fairly unless they come from the time when the film was released in theaters or shown on TV. Of course, this isn't possible in all instances. I say this because Death Wish was a movie of its time and unique in that no other movie before really captured the anger, fear and confusion of revenge. He had to buy a gun and then use it on another human being without getting caught. It shows a gritty 70s New York setting which was accurate, even right down to the local D'Agostino supermarket. So, what I'm saying here is, your modern lens can't fully appreciate Death Wish for what it is. You're not able to peel all the layers because you're not a product of that time. And I get it. That's not possible. However, because of it, you're introducing a "bias" I hadn't noticed before in reviewers. You're tainted by all the great horror and drama movies since. I can say Death Wish is the strongest of the bunch because of the raw psychology behind loss and fear. Thank you for making me aware of that. Of course this weakens all your reviews from the past, present, and future but that's understandable. But in the end, it's what we think that matters.

Hi Daniel! You know you're a horror fan when you recognize every name on the shirt Daniel's wearing. Also puppets can be super creepy.

The first Death Wish isn’t primarily a revenge film, it’s more like a follow up to the themes from Dirty Harry, but with a civilian. Crime was at an all time high in New York in the 70s and much like Peter Finch in Network, many people were “mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore!” People were sick of corrupt ineffective cops and wished SOMEBODY would do something about it. The reason why I think the first is the best is because it is the most realistic. It feels pretty close to what somebody in a gritty dystopian crime overrun 1970s New York would do when they take vigilante justice in their own hands (a reaction to the overall crime in the area, not just ones that affected him personally). The sequels take the idea of the innocent people in the city getting screwed over by the criminals celebrating Bronson to the extreme, and they basically turn Bronson into a powerless super hero. Which, if you try to view the later Death Wish sequels from the same semi-realistic lens as the first two… you’re bound to hate them. They are completely over the top in the best ways that Cannon could be completely over the top, and just keep getting more and more ridiculous in the same way the Rambo, Friday the 13th or Saw movies just got more and more over the top violent and ridiculous as the series went on. They were never meant to be taken seriously (this is the same studio that hired Jean Claude Van Damme as an ACTOR after only seeing him almost roundhouse kick their main producer in the face, Cannon didn’t usually care about realism, quality or substance 😅). Also If you haven’t seen the Cannon doc Electric Boogaloo yet they cover this all pretty well and it’s an AMAZINGLY entertaining doc as well chronicling the insanity that was Cannon films 😊.

I don't know what it says about me, but I liked the Death Wish movies. Maybe me being older and having lived in the 70s allow me to relate more with them. They did get more silly as Cannon took over, but I still found them entertaining. Invasion USA and Razorback are excellent.

Robert Mitcham is even scarier in Night of The Hunter. Dont skip that one. Thanks for the video man! 10/10 fricheks

Some people just don't understand great films. It's just sad. Death Wish is a freaking masterpiece!

Robert Mitchum was great in Cape Fear, my favorite with him is Night of the Hunter

Robert Mitchum played in a TV movie called “A Killer in the Family” in 1983. His character here made his character in “Cape Fear” look like Mr. Rogers. It has stayed with me for decades.

DeepStar Six is a CLASSIC and very underrated horror film :) Glad you liked it!

Recently saw the 1930’s serial killer classic M starting Peter Lorre for the first time. Absolutely loved it. I didn’t even complain about it having subtitles. 🍿

Thank You for the List and Video 😀

As a new subscriber, I love that you are able to compare generational movies as they were "new" in the day. Your insight is great. Addition to the original post... I love DEEP STAR SIX!

Curse of the Undead is one of my favorite "diamonds in the rough". It's actually closer to folkloric vampire beliefs than almost all Hollywood efforts. The performances in the first half are wooden and unconvincing, but b-movie veteran Michael Pate (who makes a dark, convincing vampire) and RAWHIDE star Eric Fleming take over in the second half, bringing the movie home. The Blu-ray commentary points out some obvious low-budget shortcomings, but the quality of the script and lead performances fights through these limitations.

One of the most informative nicest channels out there showing things I’m to scared to watch Greatjob as usual…. Gotta say I don’t see any cobwebs in your channel it’s still seems fresh an new to me

I saw Razorback with my parents and brother, i was on my back laughing and I was only around 8 yr old 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Deathwish 3 = California Now

Great video as always 😊💜🐾👍👋

DWish 4 is my personal favorite. More of a standard 80s secret agent romp type setup. Really works for me.

Robert Mitchum was an amazing actor. He is just as terrifying, if not more so, in "Night of the Hunter". "Razorback" is gorgeous to look at. Well directed, acted and written. I have some suggestions for review. "Vice Squad" with Wings Hauser and Season Hubley. and "Pyro....The Thing Without a Face" Both worth checking out.

Wow. someone else who likes "Runaway Train"! I haven't seen it since the Eighties, but I liked it a lot. The director, Konchalovsky, was a good Soviet director. "Siberiade" was his top Soviet film in the Seventies.

One of the hardest things I've ever had to decide in life is: Which one is more hilarious...Death Wish 3 or Death Wish 4? It may never be decided. I can't wait for your Cannon video!!! I had an idea for a Cannon T-Shirt...it would read: Cannon (Can't see the line, can you, Russ?)

I really enjoy Curse of the Undead too. And like so many “B” movies of the ‘50’s has an awesome 1 sheet poster! Always happy to see you’ve posted a new video." One of my very favorite channels!

A+ video! LOVE IT! Movies look awesome!

Been watching Seamonster movies this past week so: Creature From The Black Lagoon, Revenge Of The Creature, Attack Of The Crab Monsters, Godzilla(1954 Version), Godzilla vs The Sea Monster(1966: also known as Ilbira: Terror Of The Deep) and the She Creature(1956)

That’s an awesome stack, I haven’t seen a couple of them so they’re definitely going on my buy list

I just watched 1984 (1984), The Medusa Touch, The Nanny (1965), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), Don't Look Now, Magic and a British TV show Hammer House Of Horror.

I'd seen Cemetery Man in the late 90s. What a weird movie 😁

I spent the whole video waiting for you to move so I could read the bottom names on the shirt.

Death Wish was the best out of all 3, Invasion USA was a serious kick butt film with Chuck Norris especially at the end rumor has it when the bad guy got it he really did and ended with stitches so cool, thanks for sharing loved it and you.

Hey Daniel. Love the content and the fun way you present them ! Go get um killer. I am a new sub. And I fully count on your fun

1:50 they killed the Giggler, they shouldn't have done that...

Another Deep Star Six fan here. I totally agree with you about this film. Very entertaining.

Cemetery Man is the unofficial adaptation of the Dylan Dog comic.

Death Wish 3 is so much cheesy fun, I love it. You sir have lost credibility! JK... to each their own, but I do love it.

60s Cape Fear is great. Others from that era I really dig are Experiment in Terror, Bunny Lake is Missing, and Evil Eye. Man, I haven't seen Deep Star Six in decades. I may have to revisit. My most recent new watch was kino's release of P.J, starring George Peppard - cool flick. Bronson films are that I only seen the last year I really enjoyed were 10 to Midnight, Telephone and White Buffalo

I need to get that Razorback 4k Limited Edition from Umbrella Entertainment, and you gotta see Highlander. It's a classic!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Frankenstein's Bloody Terror. I've been curious about that one fer a while. The werewolf scenes in the trailer look viscous for Naschy.

The original "Cape Fear" is terrific. Mitchum is wonderful (and repulsive) in it. I like the Scorsese one too.

There is some romance between Quill and Gamara in the Guardians movies, and a little in the Ant Man movies. But I actually didn't mind the lack of romance...I didn't even really notice. As for latest watches, I watched The Last Voyage of the Demeter last night. It was really good, and I found it almost more heartbreaking than frightening.

Robert Mitchum was someone born to play the antagonist in thrillers, The Night of the Hunter, Cape Fear, he was the perfect silent, brooding, menacing leading man.

A good mix of Genres. ! The last few movies I watched were. Howl I really liked it. 2. A Company of Wolves and I re-watched The Lair of the White Worm.

And if you like Deepstar Six and haven’t seen Leviathan (1989), I recommend that highly as well. It’s another deep sea monster movie released around the same time with a similar plot (I think that’s why people don’t like Deepstar Six as much, because there are several similar films from the same 1-2 year time period, and some of those are better known or received. But it has an all star cast, great creature effects and performances, and some great 80s action one liners that make a good entry in this late 80s deep sea horror sub-genre 😆.

I won't defend the Death Wish movies, but people today cannot relate to how dangerous inner cities were 40-50 years ago. It was a different world.

I watched the 3rd Deathwish film when I was 10 with my dad. Its epically bad, but kinda in a good way. I think it was filmed in Europe. The gang is like cartoonish central casting. Amazing.

Cannon films was the equivilant of the poverty row studios in the 30s and 40s. I'm un my 70s and you wouldn't believe some of the schlooky movie I sat thru as a kid at the local theaters. I saw a fair number of Italian horror movies some of which made no sense to me but at the ages between 12 and 16 a fair number of things made no sense. Sat thru some really bad movies a fair number directed by William Bodein,Roger Corman,William Castle man them were the good Olde days

Curse of the Undead is great just as a Western movie let alone as a vampire film. It's also based off of Folkloric vampires just like The Vordalak.

I ❤ both versions of ,Cape Fear', but the 1962 is better. Great film! But you should watch the remake I promise you will like it, Daniel!

Love Gregory Peck -- I need to watch Cape Fear. On a side note, his grandson, Ethan Peck, plays the newest incarnation of Spock and he's fantastic in the role.

Cannon actually made a couple movies that were really good - Barfly and 52 Pick-Up - but I think it must have been an accident

I agree! My dad knew Charles Bronson growing up. A real nice guy. The movies however my dad and i aren't fond of. I personally don't like them at all. Thank you sir I love your content!

Greatings from my wife Ines, she loves your enthusiasm about films. But there is one question: we have a family, we have a job-When will we have the time to watch all these movies? 😮 That's a problem you know as a film fan, right😂?

Also have you seen Night of The Hunter (1955)? Cannot recommend that high enough. Especially if you like gothic films and atmosphere, the film’s cinematography is based on German expressionistic films like Nosferatu and Cabinet of Caligari. It’s often considered Robert Mitchum’s best role and he plays one of the most terrifying villains in all of cinema: a corrupt preacher serial killer/child murderer. Much of his performance in Cape Fear came from his role in that. It’s also one of the most dream like films I’ve ever seen, it’s incredibly influential, and it’s the only film ever directed acting legend Charles Laughton.

Deep Star Six gives good screen time to Miguel Ferrer ---who is in quite a few awesome genre films (The Stand, The Night Flier, Robo Cop). Sean S. Cunningham directed a 80's sex comedy Spring Break that has some cool scenes of an woman new wave band. Also produced House (1986) that's worth watching The villian prison warden in Runaway Train is played by John Ryan. He's very good in the Larry Cohen baby horror film It's Alive (1974) in case this channel needs future top ten films seen this month

Not much horror or sci- fi lately, But do you like Super black comedy ? I'll give you Two, Carl Reiners Where's Poppa ? 1970 ( you will think of Anber Heard) And the British comedy "Loot" 1970 with Richard Attenborough

Please get a better Camera. Great content! Keep it up!

Several years ago I read the Death Wish novel. It's pretty forgettable. All I remember is the ending where he's walking past a cop and they nod at each other because all the police know who he is and what he's doing but they don't care.

dont miss Saratoga (1937), final film of Jean Harlow The Big Trail (1930) John Wayne 1st as Headline star..people died during the filming, as some entered the river at the wrong place and got swept away. And going down the cliff with the covered wagons breaking free from the ropes.

You mention blue-ray movies. What is the difference between a regular dvd and a blu-ray?

Hello! I'm new here and I was wondering if you'd ever seen The Boneyard? It's free to watch on Tubi or on RU-vid showed on Creature Feature. I'm looking forward to seeing The Vourdalak. I love old versions of 'vampires'.

Best Wish 1 is the best.

If you haven't seen The Night Of The Hunter check it out. Robert Mitchum is really something in that. Keith H

You don't like the Deathwish movies? I have no words.

I like Death Wish 3 for exactly the same reasons. you don't. It is completely ridiculous, its like the Zucker brothers made a Death Wish movie. Despite disagreeing on this one, love the channel and appreciate the time and effort you take in producing content.

I didn't mind the Death Wish movies when I was a teenager but they haven't aged well. They always had the most pathetic uncool unscary villains in them.

You’re acting a bit surprised that there is vigilante violence in DEATH WISH III? You really don’t expect a Death Wish movie-or any Cannon movie for that matter-to deal with due process of law, right? I highly recommend the KINO Blu of CURSE OF THE UNDEAD. Don’t miss out on it! Keep the videos coming!

Check out the show Critters, Daniel!!

I don't mind the Death Wish films, I have all 5. Yes they're gritty but that's actually how life was portrayed in the 70's & 80"s from what I remember as a child back then in England. My Mam loved Charles Bronson and so do I. I love The Mechanic with him but do actually prefer the Jason Statham version. Don't watch Death Wish remake with Bruce Willis, it sent me to sleep 🤣🤣💜🐾👍

Do you watch sci-fi stuff sometimes?

Bro you haven't seen the original highlander . Put it on your watch list !

Man, Sloppy Seconds production quality is really disappointing. I wouldn't mind (what a problem, right?), if not for other bootlegs I've bought from a dude in the Netherlands that look incredible. (not necessarily the video quality - the physical items) He even makes slip covers for some of them, which is wild. Considering they're mostly abandoned/forgotten 90s/2000s TV movies, it's super impressive that he sometimes adds featurettes and interviews to the discs as well. I've also bought some bootlegs of Chinese dramas on bluray and slip covers are actually the standard for Chinese bootleggers, as well as pretty well printed discs. And then you look at SlopSecs and it's the lowest effort barebones BR menus, badly printed artwork and sharpied discs. Wow, amazing.

So for June i watched: Blood Simple (1984) Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) The Town that Dreaded Sundown (1976) Electric Dreams (1984) Rollercoaster (1977) Hardcore (1979) The Hourglass Sanatorium (1973) Targets (1968) Throne of Blood (1957) I Spit on your Grave (1978) World on a Wire (1973)

Uh watch Highlander

Disagree with Hitman I do not like that movie at all Attractive love interest That’s about it At first it started I’m really good This is a real person based on a true story what’s interesting in it in itself? But they had to change, then change everything to make it more exciting, I guess what I didn’t like at all I finish the real story is really interesting They change it for some reason First , I disagreed with you that Dan Keep up the good work Really enjoying the channel

They leaned too heavily on Bronsons badassness and burned him out. Mitchums Cady to me is better than De Niro. Mitchum and Palance can give you that glare and you know it's gonna hit the fan.

Death Wish 2 is awsome. Franchise not as dumb assss "Kong x Godzilla" , ...Fast n Furious, Star Wars, Marvel, Avengers, Netflix Cleopatra!!!😂.

death wish 3 awful??

Romance goes against certain agendas so isn't allowed, sorry 😔😮

😀😁
