"Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1978) 9/10
One of the best remakes ever. |

I think I like posting reviews more in the overall last seen movie area. I had to think and search for the year of this one before posting -
The Sentinel - I don't know where I heard about this one. If it was here or another movie. Perhaps The Burbs? I'm not sure. But I saw this a few days ago. It reminded me of Rosemary's Baby in how normal, for the most part, everything seems and then you get shocked or surprised by something. I like it. It's slow but when stuff happens it hooks you. I couldn't believe the first or second reveal. I was surprised by the nudity and raunchy scenes too. Maybe this was a hippie influenced time? Because I didn't expect the scenes in the movie. Definitely a movie to check out. |
Dr. Caligari (1989) -- 7.5/10; A fine example of psychosexual art-house horror.

----------------------------------------------- Thanks for the info. Well, at least two good reads. |
 Semi-decent disaster flick set in an intercontinental train, with an all-star cast. * * * |
 I'm so glad I finally have this on Blu Ray now. =) |

[Not going to include short movies, but they were Treevenge (2008) and Le Queloune (2008).]
Xtro (1983) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...tro-Poster.jpg Oh, E.T was relevant a year ago? Let's make a weird horror rip-off out of it (not REALLY a rip-off, it had a lot to same feel to it, but it was completely different.) It had stiff acting and horribly lifeless child actor. I cringed every time, this kid was on the screen. Relationship with his dad, was okay I guess? Trust me, it get's really out of touch at the end. Don't want to tell any details. So... So bad is, semi-good? Barracuda (1978) http://horrornews.net/wp-content/upl...vie-poster.jpg Oh, man... Somebody. I was going to fall a sleep, so many times while watching this movie. Actors were not great, their characters were uninteresting. Special effects were bad as i expected (rubber fish and limbs). And plot was stupid. Also, this VHS-cover told me that it was more "the extreme limits of tolerance" (than Jaws). Kids, never truly trust covers? 'mmmkay? Maniac (1980) http://horrorhomework.com/blog/wp-co.../05/maniac.jpg "Sweet! This is a classic, right?" Well, it had some great splatter scenes. Mind of the killer and his room was... Claustrophobic? But I think this movie, stretched some scenes way off. It was not that great, but I saw it. I Drink Your Blood (1970) http://www.cheese-magnet.com/wp-cont...nkbloodbig.jpg This was... I had NO expectations about this grindhouse-flick. But it was fantastic. Actors weren't the best, but the characters were there. It knew that, it was bad. So the movie acted like it and was excellent while doing it. Sadly it couldn't made to the end. Ending act seemed, confusing and didn't really build the already made expectations. Also, there was not that much splatter. Still, this was best movie of the marathon. Would watch again! |
The Evil (1978) -- 5/10; A haunted house flick with an underutilized setting and a ridiculous ending. A scene of supernatural near-rape reminded me of THE ENTITY.
