The Hand (1981) -- 7.5/10; This film is the ultimate in cat jump scares. In one scene, a black cat provides not only the cliché jump scare but proceeds to jump through a closed window. Later, in a dream, the protag (played marvelously by Michael Caine) has a flashback of the same scene.

The Curse (1987) -- 6/10; Adapted from one of Lovecraft's stories, this film takes a good 30 minutes or so to flesh out simple characters and establish its main plot point (an alien substance insidiously destroying the Earth). I was about to abort this viewing when the horror element picked up and progressed nicely to the film's satisfactory conclusion, and not without some nice makeup and FX work.

I did find it a little lacking in that department..a bit sparse..but still enjoyed it.

'Return Of The Living Dead' (1985)

Plot:
Three medical supply house workers, A mortician and a group of teenagers band together against an army of zombies.

Phantoms Review: One of the all time great horror-comedy mash ups. Plenty of scares, good FX, some fine acting and overall sense of the absurd. Love this film.

The Uninvited (1988) -- 7/10; This is a great bad movie that sees a mutant cat terrorizing people on a yacht. I gut-laughed at least five times at this tenacious little bastard:

If you end up with a "WTF?!" expression on your face, or a "What the hell did I just watch?!" thought ringing in your mind, don't worry. It's normal.

The Exorcist: Director's Cut

This is the only movie (so far) that still makes my skin crawl. Out of all the types of horror movies that I have watched since I was a kid, the ones with creepy demonic voices are the only ones that give me the chills. Horror movies have never given me the "scare" factor except for The Exorcist. I wish there were horror movies out there that actually scared me now.
