Body Double 1982. Soooo bad. I don't know what this film was... i don't know if it was supposed to be stupid or not. But it definately was that. Didn't work.

Friday the 13th Part III (1982), which was my first Friday movie all those years ago. I actually watched the first two first last night and then this. Watching the entire series in chronological order, something I've wanted to do for awhile now. I'm watching with someone who has only ever seen parts 6 & 8, so it's great seeing it with a sort of Friday virgin! July is summer camp season, or it would have been any other year, so it's the perfect time to watch this legendary horror series.

Annabelle 2014 I'm not very familiar with modern horror movies. It had a few chills, and wasn't too bloody. What I couldn't understand is why anyone would buy such a hideous doll in the first place.

The Sorcerers 1967 one of my old horror books had a pic of this movie so offcourse I was interested. plus an old Boris Karloff starred. An old old sorcery couple tries mind control electronically, trying to find a victim in what was called Swinging London era. The fantastic equipment looks like something a bored 14 year old would put together nowdays. While Karloff character hopes the equipment can help elders, his wife suddenly get's a thrill when the mind controlled commits crimes. It's so-so, not scary, a bit interesting, could be seen at least once. This image didn't appear in the version I watched

Body Bags (1993) by John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper I have been wanting see this tv-produced anthology movie for quite a while now, and got around to watch it a couple of nights ago. I really enjoyed the segment known as Hair with Stacey Keach, who plays a middle aged guy who seems to have a pretty good life, except that he constantly worries about his hair, which is a bit thin on the top, but somehow it will soon end up as an obsessession and he will do whatever it takes to get a piece of good and thick hair on his head. The comedy in this episode is really well made, and it helps having such a likeable guy as Keach playing the part, and it is both a bit fascinating and scary when it comes to becomming obsessed on a body part, so much that all you can think of is how much "better" everything would be if you could just have that one "little" thing changed, and all would be fine, until the next time and you end up obsessing over something completely new. As with many of these 80s and early 90s horror anthologies, there is always that one episode or segment that hits so much harder or better than the rest, and while the first part with a lonely young girl, working at night in a filling station comes with some great tension and interesting characters, it was Hair that really captured my interest. The last one, with Mark Hamill, I thought opened up very good, but somehow "lost me" towards the end. Not a bad episode, just one I kind of did not get too much out of. I guess it has been used several times over, but yeah, Body Bags really is (as with so many others of its kind) a very mixed bag of entertainment, and I wish I could have gotten something more out of it, but it did not go down that way, this time: 5,5/10
Of Unknown Origin (1983) by George P. Cosmatos A tidy and friendly family man (Peter Weller) decides to stay at home in his recently renovated apartment, while his beautiful wife (Shannon Tweed) and their young son travels away for a while. But instead of a nice and quiet time out, he is suddenly put under a lot of stress, both from his workplace and yet even more at home, as a seemingly "little" furry and four legged creature has taken a liking to his apartment, and have absolutely no plans of moving out, anytime soon. This means war, and there can only be one winner at the end of the day!I really enjoyed this well acted and directed horror-thriller, which maybe a bit of a psychological thriller as well, where you have this absolute nasty piece of a giant and very intelligent rat, who terrorizes a poor guy into almost becoming a complete "lunatic", and Peter Weller delivers one hell of a performance in this one. I guess the very thought of having your private and safe home, suddenly invaded by something or someone, specially those you can not see but known so damn well, is there, and it knows exactly where you are, makes it even more of a stressfull and unpleasant experience. There was something quite fascinating about having this quiet and friendly guy, suddenly over the next hour, turn into everything but a calm and relaxed human being, but who just not will let this thing win the battle of wits, and is willing to sacrifice almost everything in his life to gain the upper hand. Gotta admit, after having seen the movie, I was thinking of now always shutting down the toilet seat when I go to sleep, maybe with a bit of few heavy concrete bricks to be completely sure that no uninvited "guest" will suddenly burst out of the bathroom in the middle of the night. Anyway, I am very glad I finally picked it up on DVD (a new, more or less Video On Demand DVD copy) and a must see for fans of Peter Weller, or those rather dark and moody "creature features" of the 70s and the 80s. 7,5/10

SHOCK WAVES 1977 The Deep End of Horror. I think this is one of the better examples of low budget filmmaking --the Blue Underground dvd is from a 16mm print of the film--to think something as low res as 16mm could be used for a 35mm theatrical presentation--Evil Dead looked a lot better as a 35mm blow up by comparison. Nevertheless, this film makes excellent use of a Florida hotel and jungle, as well as splitting the appearances of Carradine and Cushing. There are some clumsy bits like when they get the boat and dumbly let it sail off. I think they could have made that a little less dumb. I noticed how Cushing has a room full of mirrors to give him the appearance of company. One other thing I realized in this viewing, we hear "Chuck, Norman, and Beverly" spoken a few times but only hear the character names of Brooke Adams and Luke Halpin once (Rose and Keith).
