A Nightmare on Elm Street is quite fun and creative and is actually maybe the best of these. It's been years since I've seen The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, but I remember that one being decent too.

The Exorcist and Dawn of the Dead are the worst out of those classic horrors. The Exorcist has a really messy script and the demon voice is just silly. The latter film is overlong, with boring characters and stunningly un-threatening and lethargic zombies.

Escape from L.A. is a solid sequel.

And Lockout was a great follow up

People who don't like the Evil Dead shouldn't be allowed to watch movies.

I would say they're equal.

Psycho II is definitely one of the best sequels ever made. Great performances, great atmosphere and great direction. I love it!

So I don't like horror films because I think 9 certain horror films are overrated?

It's sad that you already have such a preconceived notion about it. I think it's just you that doesn't like other people having another opinion than you, that's what it sounds to me. I hope you will do better in the future!

Plus the word overrated bores me

Just saw "Escape From L.A." being at 5.7/10 on IMDB.com
It deserve more love and got my favorite ending for a movie so far.

dgoswald · 03-15-2019, 10:28 PM

Of all the great songs created for the animated features in Disney's gilded renaissance era of the early-to-mid 90s, Colours of the Wind is low-key the best. I think it gets overlooked when there's discussions of the wonderful songs from Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King, but the particular song I mentioned above has a depth and a beauty that is unmatched IMO.

Cold_Wolf · 03-15-2019, 10:34 PM

Triple Frontier would have been a decent movie if we remove the dialogue.

It isn't as bad as Vampires or Ghosts of Mars. Regarding the ending: think of all the passenger airplanes that crashed. Snake is a bad***, but this makes him a coldblooded killer!

Another up vote from me for Vampires

LMFAObros · 03-16-2019, 04:35 AM

Sicario is somewhat overrated. Was expecting fast paced action movie and got slow burning thriller instead, might enjoy more when i revisit and watch 2

Gizz · 03-16-2019, 09:00 AM

Vampires is great but Ghosts of Mars was terrible.

MJD64 · 03-16-2019, 09:32 AM

Pam Grier should've played Desolation Williams in GHOSTS OF MARS.
