mixed genre movie search

[tecnowraith]

Hey all I am on a current search to find some odd mixed genre movies like medieval-horror and western-horror movies. For example Ravenous and Army of dakness, where horror or the supernatual is set it the old west or in medieval (or fantasy world, besides Lord of the Rings) times.

It's older but Curse of the Undead is an interesting Horror Western.

Versus: Samurai/Gangster/Zombie

Wild Zero: Rock'n'Roll Road Movie/Romantic Comedy/Zombie

Ginger Snaps I and II: Coming-of-age/Werewolf

Ginger Snaps III: Frontier/Werewolf

Dog Soldiers: Action/Werewolf

The Bunker: WWII/Horror (not super great, though)

Dude, you always got the movie lowdown, dontcha Barsoomcore

Also, just read your blog finally, and I have to say... you're my hero man . Love the reviews and whatnot, and I can never thank you enough for enlightening me on the subject of Flying Spaghetti Monsterism.

I watch a LOT of bad movies. And every now and then, you come across a gem like Dog Soldiers and it makes all the Komodos worthwhile.

All the films in my list are stomp-down great pictures, except for The Bunker which was a really really good idea but just didn't quite pull it off. I give props for trying, but not everyone will. But ANYONE will enjoy the other pictures on that list. They're prime. Highly recommended, every one.

I just saw Versus a couple days ago, and yeah, I thought it was pretty good. Weird, definitely Evil Dead-ish in how the tone occasionally got a bit silly, but enjoyable.

A movie I haven't seen, but is in my netflix queue, is "Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters". It got bad reviews, but is a Samurai/Horror movie.

If you watch a LOT of bad movies, I'm sure you've watched this one:

Full Eclipse (Cop/Werewolf) : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106980/

Something else to check out is Crazy Lips, comedic horror with sex, gore, kung-fu, zombies, black magic, and a musical number. Possibly a social/political allegory or maybe just a dirty (but fun!) exploitation film.

I gotta feeling you're going to get disappointed, tj.

Vampire Hunters sucked a lot.

If you want to see a better example of Hark's more recent output, check out Time and Tide, which is pretty good fun in a sort of Wong Kar-Wai meets Ringo Lam kind of way.

But Hong Kong is really really hurting from the loss of so many great performers and directors, and the general unease and economic blow of the takeover. I don't know if it will ever again hit the heights it did in the mid-80s to 90s.

Lots of good films coming out of Korea these days -- no genre-benders come to mind, though. Unless Volcano High's high school/kung fu split counts.

Klaus -- haven't seen Full Eclipse. But I will...

Hey all I am on a current search to find some odd mixed genre movies like medieval-horror and western-horror movies. For example Ravenous and Army of dakness. I wonder if ther are more? I have googling for to find very little, like the ones I listed. Think horror movies in the era of the wild west or medieval/fantasy setting.

Oblivion, a pretty fun sci-fi western written by comic writer Peter David. There's also a sequel, Backlash: Oblivion 2, but I haven't seen it. Speaking of sci-fi westerns, don't forget Westworld.

This is true.
