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.

'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. |
Taste the Blood of Dracula
Hands down my favorite Hammer 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. ::sad:: |
Okay, I just finished The Brood. Has anyone else seen this?
There are parts that are like wtf??!! |
