Check out Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Extremely similar to Snatch but still classic Ritchie.

Also my favourite of the two, as hard as it is to compare high grade diamonds.

Agreed. Snatch is a bit too over the top at times. The convoluted plot of LSATSB is much more brilliant IMO.

Thanks; I will. We'll be watching RocknRolla this evening.

The scene that rocked me the most first time I saw it is when the dude is walking through the quiet house and then LF shows up and cracks him on the head with the sledgehammer. And then while the body is twitching on the floor he cracks him a couple more times to finish the job.

It just came out of nowhere and was so brutal and horrific. Again for 1974. TCM predated Halloween, Dawn of the Dead, and Friday the 13th by at least 4 years.

Apparently those four years were crucial to making non-mediocre violent horror movies. Which reminds me, I need to finally finish Dawn of the Dead. And rewatch Halloween. And then check out Halloween 2. Think I might actually do a journal entry about that franchise in the near future, cause I watched Rob Zombie's two remakes last night, and they were kind of awesome for the most part. Gave me the itch to explore the series further.

I don't mind them, but House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects are where it's at for Rob Zombie films.

^This, especially House of 1000 Corpses, that is a masterpiece. Still prefer the originals though.

Violent Horror Movie? TCM has that in spades.
Mediocre? A matter of opinion.

Ever seen this? Shawn Lane on stage with Buckethead rapping Chainsaw dialogue.

Totally. Even if Michael Myers as a kid was kind of unconvincing, and the whole "mother with the white horse" thing was just a tad cringe-worthy, I thought as two linked movies they did a good job exploring the family aspect of his story.

And once he was adult Michael Myers, he was just ****ing awesome. I love how Rob didn't try to come up with generic slasher movie, murder set pieces using whatever household objects nobody had used yet. Myers was portrayed with a visceral physicality I haven't seen in most slashers. Watching him just beat people to death with his bare hands made him 100 times more terrifying than he would have been otherwise.

I honestly can't remember if I've ever seen House of a 1000 Corpses, but I do want to watch The Devil's Rejects in the near future.
