 9/10 - This is a film that gets better with each re-watch. A great and very creepy film. Looking at both theatrical and uncut, its one of the few films I prefer the theatrical cut.

 2/10 - At Redbox I noticed this is the only movie in the horror section I have not rented. Its hardly a horror film. The only horror element is that there is a gremlin that shows up from time to time. This film is just stupid. Half of the film is Chloë Grace Moretz in a bottom gunner section of a plane. It feels like an Asylum film. |

 2/10 - Yikes. This was 116 minutes but felt like 6 hours. I seen Zack Snyders Justice League not too long ago and this film seemed far longer. Plus its really just boring. May be better if a half hour was taken out. |

 3/10 - Pretty dull film thats an odd mix of a bigfoot and a serial killer film. May serve better as like a Tales from the Crypt episode. One great thing is that the two lead girls are super hot and have a love scene. |

 3/10 - Very simple film with no likable characters. People are trapped in a elevator and one may have Corona! |

 Cry of the Banshee(1970) A 1500s English magistrate enjoys torturing and executing witches, until he meets a real one. The direction is kind of choppy, and the fight and kill scenes often look fake, but the story is OK and it does have Vincent Price. 5.5/10. |

 Never Take Sweets from a Stranger 1960 especially not from this man. A British Hammer film, but takes place in Canada. It's not a horror movie in the general sense though it's subject is horrific enough, since it's Pedophilia. It all comes forward when a newly-appointed school principal and his wife talks to their 9-year old daughter when she tells her parents about an old man who gave her and a friend sweets, and the old man wanted them to take of their clothes. The parent takes action and even goes to court to get the old man locked up, but the old man's son shows his muscles and shows who actually decides in this town. The old man is set free with tragic results... It's a well-made thriller drama and we are spared from any graphic violence, since it's after all little kids.

Oh yeah, I saw I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997, dir. Jim Gillespie) on Saturday.  It’s not offensively bad, it’s not even a bad way to pass an hour and change, but it’s just bland and unscary. I’m not exactly sure how this became so famous. I was really hoping there’d be a decent mystery because screenwriter Kevin Williamson’s Scream script is such a nice Agatha Christie-style mystery disguised as a slasher, but nope, the killer’s identity comes out of nowhere and makes no sense. The directing’s dull; the cast, male and female, just look pretty and scream. Funnily enough, my favorite parts were all in the beginning, when Gillespie and Williamson set up setting and characters. I love small towns, and I love old theaters, and I love ghost stories told around a fire, and the opening has all of those. Too bad about the rest of it. |

 2/10 - This is easily one of the grossest most disturbing movies I have ever seen. I had to look away a few times its that nasty. And if it grosses me out then there is something really messed up here! Cant say I liked it though. Just one point I give it for turning the gruesome level up so high. |

Annabelle: Creation (2017, dir. David F. Sanburg).  That’s such a great poster, but unfortunately the movie doesn’t quite live up to it. (The movie doesn’t even have the gothic mood that poster suggests. Sigh.) It isn’t bad, it’s just…paint-by-numbers, somehow? Worse, the plot is a mess. It’s not exactly confusing, but it emphasizes all the wrong things. The most interesting element is the “Monkey’s Paw” situation in which the parents pray to the devil to get their daughter back, and she comes back as a demon. But that’s relegated to a brief flashback in the third act. And the demon itself is baffling: It possesses the doll, but it also possesses people (living and dead), the house, the scarecrow, the barn… But it simultaneously has its own physical form as it possesses those things (vide doll turning its head as girl hears demon’s footsteps)? While we’re at it, what was the point of the opening with Simon Moon making the doll? We didn’t see him give it to his daughter or anything! Gah. Yeah, this movie makes no sense. To be fair, it has one or two decent scares (though even those seem just standard blockbuster horror fare), and after the first 20 mins. or so I was never bored. But the screenplay really hurts proceedings. (Also, the Marvel-style tag was inexplicable to me, but I’m sure it’s all the shared-universe thing.) masterofallgoons, I’m seeing your point on Gary Dauberman!

That makes sense. And according to IMDb, "Actors didn't get a single penny for this film." Imagine acting in a movie like this, what was probably a very unpleasant experience, and not even getting paid for it.

Although I wouldnt want to do this film. Especially the guy who rubs feces all over his body.

Man oh man, have I been on a streak of watching bad horror movies lately. Here’s another one that isn’t good:  Tales of Halloween (2015, lots of directors) is basically Trick ’r Treat with double the stories and half the fun. I’m not the world’s biggest Trick ’r Treat fan, but it’s consistently entertaining (the school bus segment is an excellent old-fashioned ghost story) and has some cohesion. This is just random events stuffed into random stories with no wraparound or anything. Story after story after story starts—and, just as the viewer gets interested, ends. The movie beats the viewer into boredom. The movie, amazingly enough, doesn’t even feel Halloweeny. A majority of the tales have little to nothing to do with the holiday, are just generic horror stories. It also commits the common horror movie error of substituting gore for spookiness. I hate gore, but if it’s well done or creative or the plot is interesting I’ll look past that hatred. Here we just have gore for the sake of gore. Gah. Yes, some of the segments are decent: I at least moderately liked “Grim Grinning Ghost,” “Sweet Tooth,” “The Weak and the Wicked,” and “Bad Seed.” But even the best of them is too short to make much of an impression. “Bad Seed” has the most potential, but its blink-and-you-miss-it runtime ruins it. Most of the other segments, though, are dreadful. Even the good segments aren’t worth seeking this movie out. Just rewatch Trick ’r Treat instead. |

 1/10 This movie sucks! Michael Madsen, Tom Sizemore and Bai Ling for some reason star in this beyond terrible film that has very little plot, awful CGI, lousy sound, cruddy picture and is also very boring. Probably the worst film of '20. |
