I suppose it's a little different when you stay home with a decent pile of horror films for halloween. I spent four hours in a bus to get to a Halloween Film Festival called Night Visions (in Finland) and the expectation kept me going throughout the evening. This all-night event had some highlights and not necessarily the best choices, I admit.


23.00 Exorcism of Emily Rose vs. From Beyond
01.15 Corpse Bride vs. Pervert!
03.00 The Descent vs. Linda Lovelace for President
04.45 The Devil's Rejects
06.45 Domino vs. I Spit on Your Grave
08.45 Demons
10.30 Supersonic Man

My Choices:
From Beyond - 4
Corpse Bride - 4
Linda Lovelace for President - uhm...
The Devil's Rejects - 1

Damn...I had to leave to catch the bus back home. Maybe next year will be...fuller.

I Spit on Your Grave
Demons
Supersonic Man

[Personal review points out of 5.]


One hell of an evening. Had time to catch some shuteye during...?

Of course. :)

You should have watched Demons. That's the best one out of your bunch there in my opinion...

This is one classic that deserves it's reputation. Twisted story, good acting, no real gore but there's a very creepy atmosphere throughout this film plus a few shots of Mia Farrow's hooters (So that's a plus). I really liked the very anti-happy Hollywood ending. Excellent film.

Next up: Haute Tension, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
No.... "Henry: Confessions Of A Serial Killer" is more twisted than "Portrait" was. :) I wasn't too into Rosemary's Baby, but the movie score when the devil was screwing her was just creepy as could be. :eek: :)

I watched Land of the Dead last night.Not as bad as i expected, what with all the negative feedback its got on here.
At least George kept them slow and lumbering, and the makeup effects were very good.As far as the zombie "learning", which seemed to piss off a lot of "critics", it was subtle....its not like they were sitting around reading books or driving cars.

Roshomon, not really horror but a great film. I can't believe the quality of camerawork and editing for a film from 1951. Amazing.

Haute (High) Tension

I absolutely LOVED the first 80% of this film! Straightforward plot, great gore, and it was quite a bit more "edge of your seat" than anything I've seen come out recently. But then, they threw in the twist (If you've seen it you know what I mean) and for me, it totally made a really good movie a whole lot shittier because the twist left gaping plot holes that were never explained.

This movie was cruising towards a solid A grade, but the stupid ending weighed it all the way down to a B-.

One of the greatest films of all time.

I had insomnia last night, and picked out a DVD at random. Alien, definitely a good way to spend a couple sleepless hours.
