[Sculpt]

Had to take quite some time to review these remaining films...

Most Worthy for 21 & 22:

The Return of the Living Dead (1985) - Is a surprisingly excellent film. I expected the same-old tired plot, & cardboard characters to support gory scenes. Turns out Dan O'Bannon (writer of Alien) took old theme & made a top notch 'A' film, supporting Horror film making. It's successfully scary and funny. It's funny because it's 'so real', the humor is organic. The classic line is, Corpse: "Come in dispatch. Send more paramedics."

Near Dark (1987) - director Kathryn Bigelow artfully & skillfully shot film. Explores the seductiveness of evil.


I already backed The Return of the Living Dead, but Near Dark I'm newly supporting. So I may back another film.

Neg - Pumpkinhead - I was hoping to like this film. I've always liked the old style 'folk' horror tales. Although Pumpkinhead was interesting, & some nice cinematography, I decidedly think it just was not a good film. The story, script & especially the characters were shallow and disjointed, didn't care about the characters, acting was subpar. It just didn't work. It's just not good enough to be in the top 22. (I'm not the only who thought so; as it's universally poorly rated by critics and masses alike).
