Sinister (2012)
- I find this to be one of the best horror movies of the decade. It’s a film that successfully uses suspense and tension over gore, which seems to be a lost art. The performances are well done, there are some cool twists, Mr. Boogie is frightening, and the use of super 8 film is fantastic. What truly makes this film so atmospherically haunting is the tremendous score/sound design, which gives me goose bumps every time I watch it.
Sinister 2* (2015)
- While this was not as good as the first installment, it also doesn’t deserve the abundance of hate it’s received. The film is very flawed, most notably in making the comedic side character from the last film the lead, as well as making the ghost children less scary and more relatable. However, the stuff that did well really worked for me, like the twist between the two brothers and the super 8 movies. I had hoped that this one was going to make Buguul more of a threat, but all in all, I found it to be an enjoyable flick.
The Haunted World of El Superbeasto (2009)
- This is such a zany and over the top movie, but I always have a good time watching it. Of course, it’s much more enjoyable when you can pick up on the abundance of horror references. It does drag a bit during the middle, but the end makes up for it. Granted, I think this movie could’ve been a lot funnier and stronger, but for what it is, I like it.
Mountain of the Cannibal God* (1979)
- I pretty much got what I expected with this one: tits and gore, and that was enough for me. The acting may be subpar, but it delivered on the exploitative goods and was quite disturbing, although not as horrific as Cannibal Holocaust.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre II (1986)
- While this sequel is a far cry from its groundbreaking predecessor, it manages to deliver enough campy entertainment to make it an enjoyable viewing. The first half of the film suffers from pacing issues, but the over-the-top mania keeps interest held until the conclusion. Tom Savini’s effects are also very effective.
The Bat* (1959)
- This Vincent Price flick was fun, although it’s certainly not one of his best. It certainly has that 50’s horror charm, which over powered the slow pace and campy aesthetics. I also enjoyed how it played with the audience about who the killer is, rather then making it the obvious choices.
American Psycho (2000)
- Although it feels a bit dated, and a little slow at times, Christian Bale’s performance is mesmerizing. It’s definitely worth a watch just to see the scenes when he goes off the deep end. Not a great movie, but one that is always fun to see.
A Clockwork Orange (1971)
- There’s really nothing I can say about this film that hasn’t been said before. Incredible visuals, disturbing characters, and a zany plot. As most of you know, it’s a Kubrick classic!
Horror of Dracula (1958)
- Christopher Lee is top notch as the Count, and Peter Cushing makes for an excellent Van Helsing. I do love the vibe of the old Hammer horror films, although I don’t think it matches the atmosphere of the Lugosi version. My only complaint is that it moves very slow, but when it picks up, it’s great stuff.

'half skull" Smilies
I feel like I have seen enough with just the mask that they use. Looks like I need to get my 31 horror movie set aside to next month.
