horror film month for horror films. I've tried to watch at least 1 a night but I'm not sure if I have? Who knows.
Nightmare on elm street 1 - I hadn't seen any of these before so thought, why THE FUCK not. The first one was actually pretty good, I always thought of freddy krueger as a shitty slasher with a few more gimmicks but this one was pretty good. Better than hellraiser in fact, gosh.
NOES 2 - This one was also good. Probably as close to a direct sequel to the first, natural wise. Some good body morphing and killings.
NOES 3 - Starts to turn shit. The killungs are a little more creative in that the dreamscape concept is explored a little more deeper but its a bit gimmicky. Stop here if you liked 1 and 2, duh.
NOES 4 - cant remember this one too wel. similar to 3 but a bit boring. still as surreal as 3 but didnt really go too deep though the bit with the insect is fun enough. starts to have the villain as a comedic shit head which isnt good. horror films can either take themsevles seriously and end up in space or take the piss out of themselves and end up a big fat box of shit, as seen in the nightmare franchise, whatever
NOES 5 - the dream child! bit of backstory, bit of bullshit. went a bit beyond the plot of the first four films but still. its bullshit.
NOES 6 - real dogshit. if it wasnt tied at all to krueger itd be the type of film you watch early morning and wonder if it was some shitty dream. whic isnt really a good thing as this one has a shitty computer game sequence then the end is p. terrible. no real scares or spooks at all, jeez
NOES 7 - instead of space maybe the real world lol. this one was alright. a bit like curb your enthusiasm with krueger instead of cheryl or whatever. you could watch the first 3 and skip to this and thats fine : )
Nightmare on Elm Street remake - shitty slasher with 'micronaps' to make it more exciting or something. no englund.
friday the 13th - I quite like the original. its slow as shit and not as intense as texas chainsaw or as creepo crawlo as halloween but it put out the idea and thats alright
friday the 13th remake - I thought this wasn't too bad either. It had the concept of Jason down alright, all the teenagers were dicks and it had a decent general atmospere. cherry pciked some of the good ideas from texas chainsaw or whatever, but it turned out alright in the end. gets a bit of a bad rap but, its a friday the 13th film.
Freddy vs. Jason - most horror films from 95 are going to have cgi in, which i think spoils the rawness and visceraallnesss of a lot of the 70s and 80s shit, which sort of spoils this film a bit. I'd have liked to have seen this filmed in the early 90s to tie up both franchises but people only seem to want to sell out when the horse is dead and fucked to death or whatever. the plot isnt too bad and the film in general is fun but theres some dumb as shit bits of course. i like the idea of ;vs films but id like them more if there wasnt a fan base and therfore fan wankery like if they did district 9 vs oldboy or whaever probably not that but use your imagination because thats the awy you get freed from nightmares oprib lol
saw 7 or 8 - the last saw film they made. I watched them all last year and they werre pretty good except 5. this one was retreading usual shit but it tied up most loose ends and had good killongs which is wehat horror is about probably. danger, release, danger, release, so on
the fly - good
the hills have eyes remake - still would like to watch the original but ive read enough about it to think ive seen it so i wont. i think the reamkes alright, escpecally that fuck in the wheelchair. sometimes i thought it was a little soullesss and i didnt give a shit who lived or died but thats ok sometimes : )
the last exorcism - its a video camera horror film, sort of. the first halfs more like a comedy and the last half is a bit like rec, but thats fine. good stuff for the most part so, whatever. if you like exorcism watch this lolol
isolation - a film set in ireland on a farm about mutant cows. its pretty good if you accept the antagonist is a cow.
critters - i watched this a while back and liked it. rewatching it it felt a bit shit as the main driving force in the film are the alien bounty hunters with the critters just being gremlin ripoffs but its still fun enough. hillbilly fucks getting eaten by porcupine pugs.
amityville horror - when i was a baba mama used to say this film would give me nightmares for the rest of my life, but it hasnt the idea of having nightmares for the rest of my life was p. scary. the film itself is alright, though I think shit like the exorcist and poltergeist sort of trumps it it builds up tension and shit so whatveer!!!
the grudge - pah
pumpkinhead - one of ym favourite horror films because its about a demon called pumpkinhead killing people really brutally duh.
the shining - yeah
wicker man - yeahhhhhhh
inferno - 1980s film about a haunted house or something by argento? I always get him mixed up with fulci, but i liked this better than suspriai anyway. same bold colours, stupid plot, general menace. give it a raz if. u. dare. no, do.
ive watched more i cant remember them all now whatveer this posts probably long as fuck.
