i'd take out house of 1000 corpses (watched it again and it gets worse with every viewing) not a hellraiser fan either. wishmaster the last wishmasters aren't that great. children of the corn isn't all that great. some people on the board liked this movie but i hated jason x. definetly add phantasm to the list.

SIlent Night Deadly Night 5. Worth it just to see Mickey Rourke as an evil toy maker

Unit 03

American Psycho and The last house on the Left, and don't forget the Fog.

Okay... Psycho and the exorcist. but if you get exorcist... get "The Version You've Never Seen" version. ALL the cut stuff intagrated back into it. even more disturbing
