First Time Viewings:Halloween (2018) - Theatres
I really enjoyed it. Jamie Lee Curtis is excellent as the badass grandmother Laurie and it has a great balance of violent deaths and suspense. It’s got some problems for sure, but it doesn’t take much away.
8/10The Burning (1981) - YouTube
Pretty solid slasher movie overall. Kills are fantastic and it has a good atmosphere. The first half is lacklustre
7.5/10Sinister 2 (2015) - Netflix
Average sequel. Much more gorier than the suspenseful first movie.
6/10Repeat Viewings:Sinister (2012) - Netflix
Good horror film. I guess I was a bit hard on the ending when I first saw it, but I can see it’s a film that makes you question which makes it creepy. Ethan Hawke was a great lead.
7/10Scream (1996) - Netflix
Of course, a modern classic.
8/10Trick ‘r Treat (2007) - Blu-ray
Probably the best anthology ever. It’s got some of the best Halloween atmosphere in any movie and the stories tie in very well. A must-watch for the season.
8/10Scary Movie (2000) - Netflix
Funny parody of its time. Definitely better than it seems.
7/10Scary Movie 2 (2001) - Netflix
Not as good as the first one, because it doesn’t know exactly what it’s trying to parody, instead has multiple aspects from other movies. I will admit I got some laughs from it, though it’s clear it’s a crazy movie.
