10/2 - Hostel (2005)-

"Of course, my horse!" A solid and memorable horror film. The tone is excellent and it's done really well. It's not perfect but it holds up and still entertains. The Oli character was incredible and it's a shame he's only in the first 30 minutes of the film; I could watch a franchise worth of movies with him doing nothing but traveling across Europe and picking up hot chicks.

10/2 - Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings (2011) -

Look, I'm giving this 3 skulls because I knew exactly what I was in for heading into this flick. It's not great by any means; dumb characters, poor dialogue, horrific CGI gore in spots. But the story is entertaining and in places it can be pretty decent if you let all that bad stuff slide. And that's what I did.

10/2 - *The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb (1964) -

A fun Hammer mummy film. The story was really good and it was a nice twist on the stereotypical "Archaeologists plunder tomb, mummy wakes up because of a curse to take revenge" story a lot of these films have.

2015 So Far:

watching the Hammer flick after your previous 2 would be the cinematic equivalent of taking a shower!

My horror marathon is not going well early on. Missed watching one on Wednesday, then I decided to do a Stage Fright double feature on Thursday, but 20 minutes into the second movie it started freezing and I didn't feel like watching another movie, and now today I have relatives over and they do not like horror movies. Guess I have to make up for it next week with some Scream Factory double features.

October 2nd:

Tusk =

Kevin Smith's second horror film (I'll be doing the first soon), and...(sigh) I'm really sad to give this just a 3, The acting is fantastic (besides one, I'll get to that in a little bit), the writing is amazing, there are some amazing monologues in this film that are truly enthralling and I love (or love to hate) most of the characters (there's that one I flat out don't like that I'll mention soon), it was also kind of brilliant, a parody of films like The Human Centipede, but done in such a tongue-in-cheek way that's still very creepy and disturbing, with the genius technique of implied violence (most of the surgery isn't shown), but it's also funny. Plus it has an ending the wouldn't be too out of place in something like Tales from the Crypt, although it's bit more dramatic then Crypt, which I liked, and it's with another great monologue from a surprise performance from Genesis Rodriguez. So, what brought this down to a 3...the second half. So there's a "surprise" cameo during around the end of act 2, and it's Johnny Depp (it's not really a surprise if you're familiar with Depp) and to put it simply of how out of place this character is, well, it's like putting 20 minutes of The Pink Panther into The Human Centipede, he is that out of place, and there's another thing that makes this character hard to sit through, this is a BAD Depp performance, hands down. Of course that's not the only problem with this second half, when Depp comes in, the whole movie goes way too over the top at that point and it pisses me off because there is an amazing Horror-Comedy-Drama in all these rough points. But because of those rough points I can only give it a 3, but I find myself still liking it because of how much good it has. I recommend a rental for the curious and a buy for the brave. I think Smith has shown to be a good horror director, he just needs to tighten his scripts a bit better for his future horror films. Sorry for this long review, but I needed to really get my thoughts on this film out.

10/2

- 1st time watching. I enjoyed it enough, but I was expecting more. Not very scary. I still have a hard time understanding why Craig Scheffer never made it bigger. He is a good enough actor, and there he had some good roles. Back on topic, I am glad to finally see this and that I was not one of the fans waiting for this for 20+ years.

- 1st time watching. I really liked this one. Funny and macabre. Gore generally doesn't bother me, but the scene with the soup at the first of the movie was gross.

10/2

Forbidden Planet(1956)

A 50's Sci-Fi classic. What more to say? Love the creepy electronic score and set designs.

*The Bat(1959)

After a bank president steals and embezzles one million dollars, he hides his loot in a mansion --that happened to be where a violent killer known as , "The Bat" committed some murders --is killed by his doctor, played by Vincent Price, before he can retrieve the money. What's interesting is that, "The Bat" killer reminded me a bit of Freddy Krueger. . .

[Show spoiler]

*Dead-Alive(1992)

This was such a quirky little splatter-fest! I didn't know you could do that! lol.

I love that movie, and that franchise!

(October 2nd, 2015)

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (Theatrical Cut) (Re-Watch)

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (Producer's Cut) (Re-Watch)

So yeah, I watched this back to back. The Producer's Cut is certainly the better version. I watched the theatrical cut first. Then the Producers. It's little things through out. Like extended scenes or more dialogue. But the major change is the ending really. Also the man known as Paul Rudd really does not age. Looks the same as he does today, as he did 20 years ago when it first came out.

I had a nice little double feature at my friends house. We watched both of these out back on his projector. It made for a fun change of pace.

(4) 30 Days Of Night (2007) (DVD)

I am a fan of this movie and of the source material and I think they did a great job conveying the isolation, bleak circumstances and the nature of the vampires. I just wish the sequel had come to close to the original but then the situation did have a lot to do with how much I enjoyed the original.

(5) An American Werewolf in London (1981) (DVD)

A classic! just the right blend of horror and comedy.

(6) Burnt Offering (1976) (DVD)

.5
Burnt Offering is a mildly creepy but predictable haunted house movie. The acting and atmospheric score are very good but there's no surprises here. Which, might be a bit unfair to ask when watching a 39 year old movie for the first time. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the steady progression of the haunting. And for just a second there I really thought they were going to
