Detour

Favorite Noir I've seen. Infinitely rewatchable.

The Warriors

This movie spoke more to me as a lifelong Lakers fan than it did a lifelong crime flick fan. I really found it more goofy than anything, but I had a lot of fun with it.

The Devil's Rejects

Emotional, meanspirited, heartfelt, and brutal all at once. Great imagery, great soundtrack, great set pieces. The closing bridge shootout sequence set to free bird is some of the most kino shit I've seen in my entire life. Anytime someone says Rob Zombie is a bad filmmaker simply point them to this one picture.

The Big Boss

I quite liked this one. Not sure why it's taking so much slack here.

House of Wax

The opening scene is absolutely fantastic, so much so that the rest of the film doesn't quite live up to it. Still, a thoroughly enjoyable Vincent Price vehicle.

Blood Shack

Wow, this is a good one. And by "good" I mean "bad". I have a real love of these independent z-flicks shot out in the boonies, and damn does this one deliver. Best 70 minutes of nothing I ever saw.

Tales of Terror

Enjoyable anthology film. The Black Cat was quite humorous.

The Strange Door

Charles Laughton's performance was wonderful, certainly the highlight of the film. Just decent, otherwise.

Attack of the Killer Donuts

One of the most incompetent films I've ever seen. I loved it.

War for the Planet of the Apes

Kinda boring and long. Not a whole lot of action, and then it just sort of ended. Expected better, honestly.

First Blood

A perfect action film. Hardly an action movie, really. More of a drama. A perfect dramatic telling of the life and struggle of an American veteran who has returned home. Where the real war is.

If you ever want to explain modern America to somebody, show them this film. It's all you need to understand.

Halloween

THE classic October slasher flick. Kids nowadays don't get it, I guess.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

Possibly the greatest film ever made.

Scream

I can't help but think it's severely overrated, but it's still a solid slasher flick that helped revitalize the genre. For better, or for worse.

Knights of Badassdom

Maybe the worst movie I've ever seen.

Wind Chill

Boring. Confusing. Nothing happens. The main character is from Delaware. I hate Delaware.

Misery

There are few horror movies that actually scare me, but this one is legitimately unnerving.

2001: A Space Odyssey

Never been a fan of this one. Visually it's stunning, but that's all it has to offer. I'd say I just don't "get" it, but I'm not sure there's anything to "get".

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

This is the first and by far the best of the "MTV era" of the Elm Street movies. I enjoy this one a lot, but it set a bad precedent for the next several Freddy films to come.

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare

Most of the Elm Street flicks suck, but of the ones that aren't any good, I have the most patience for this one. The story is so bad it's almost nonexistent, but paradoxically, that works in this film's favor. It really just feels like a montage, and the various kills and set pieces are creative enough to keep me mildly engaged.

House of Dracula

Really just a strictly worse version of House of Frankenstein. Not bad, but certainly a weak link in the series.

loading replies
The Ghost of Frankenstein

A clear step down from the near-perfect Son of Frankenstein, but still a great 1940s monster flick. Lugosi is possibly even better as Ygor in this film than in Son, and he really carries the film as Lon Chaney Jr. makes for a rather poor Monster when compared to Karloff or even Glenn Strange.

The House That Jack Built

It was alright, I guess.

A Corner in Wheat

Possible influence on Carl Th. Dreyer's Vampyr? I've always thought so.

Gremlins 2: The New Batch

Genius self-parody. I think a lot of people missed the point of what Joe Dante did here.

Really exposed the emptiness of the art industry. Made me hate Jeff Koons. Made me hate everyone, really. The self-aware German-Jewish guy was the only person in the film I liked, I thought he was great. The retired artist was good too. The point of the film is not to make you like art, or anything. If that's what you want, look elsewhere.
