The Terror
I wasn't really expecting much from this so I was really disappointed. It's old, fairly slow moving and absent of any real violence. That being said, I still thought it was somewhat entertaining, if for no other reason than to see Jack Nicholson at such a young age! (This has to be one of his first movies.) Boris Karloff was good too, but the plot was kinda lame. I'm sure this movie was great when it came out but it doesn't hold up to the test of time the way Night of the Living Dead or House of Wax do.

Amelie
This is a very strange, yet stylish French film of a very unique girl and her rather crappy life. It's subtitled so if that's a problem for you, you may wanna skip this one. I don't know that it was as great as everyone I talked to had been saying it was, but it was entertaining. Some parts are kinda funny.

Shredder
Mid-budget slasher film that finds a group of snowbarders straded on a mountain with a fairly creative homicidal maniac. The acting is not great, but not so horrible it detracts from the film, the plot's kinda weak, but the gore is decent. (There is one kill scene towards the end that makes it worth renting on it's own.) All in all, I was expecting very low budget, shitty horror and I got mid-budget & decent gore so I was actually pleasently surprised. I'd say it's worth a rent for cheesy slasher fans.
