wireman I've wanted to re-watch The Fly (1986) for so long! Need to order the DVD online I guess since it's never streaming on Netflix or Hulu.
Dead Ringers (1988) is such a good movie! Haven't seen it in many years. Need to get that one on DVD too.

#4. ELVIRA! She has such enormous talents. Expect plenty titillation in this one. A really perky performance. So many jokes it's hard to keep abreast of them. Favorite scene: when she fell accidentally spelling out something naughty on the marquee. Favorite line: "I was just an innocent onlicker". I love Elvira. I wish she had made more of these. h050 |

15.) Copycat (1995). This was more of a "thriller," but it was a pretty decent movie. I don't think I've seen it before, but it's from so long ago that I might've forgotten. Not the biggest Sigourney Weaver fan, but she did a good job with this role IMO.

16.) The Blair Witch Project (1999). Re-watch. I'm ashamed to admit that I got a little sucked into the hype of this movie when it was first released. You have to admit, it did popularize the fake documentary horror movie movement. Ha!
I'd forgotten how many times they dropped the F bomb.

It's on Hulu. Here's a list I got from Paste magazine that will help. Hulu's menu is horrible to try and find things randomly.

I saw this movie the best way possible when it was released. There was a rainy Sunday and I was bored so I went to the theater closest to me with no idea of what I wanted to see. I stood outside the theater and looked at the posters and thought the Blair Witch movie looked like it might be good. I had not heard anything about it (so it had probably just been released) and it just happened that the starting time of the movie was close to when I was standing outside trying to decide what to see. I remember for the first part of the movie wondering if I was watching a documentary. There had not been any of the "found footage" movies before this so I didn't know what to make of this. |

17.) The Others (2001). Re-watch. Started it yesterday and finished today (while I was at work - tee hee). Such a good movie. One that hinges on the last half hour. I always think of Dana Jean when I watch this film because it's one she really likes. Nicole Kidman isn't a favorite of mine, but she does a great job in this role IMO.

#5. Messiah of Evil. A seventies movie that's a bit of a hodgpodge stitched together into a strange story. Honestly I think it was done just to showcase the scenes somebody had imagined should be in a horror movie. They were right. They should. The movie might not make a great deal of sense but it conveys a weird foreboding and those scenes are pretty darned good. The meat market? The theater? Creepy as hell.

18.) Dark Places (2015). I really liked this movie. It was more of a murder mystery. Charlize Theron was incredible. No matter what they do to try to make her look average or unattractive, it usually is an epic fail. She is stunning!

19.) The Eye (2008). Re-watch. This has such a great storyline, but it drags terribly. Jessica Alba actually does a somewhat decent job in this movie.

#6. Satans Bride. It stars Christopher Lee and who cares who else? It's about a man simply trying to practice his religion and do gooders keep interfering. In the end they even ruin his Satan party.

Decided I would finally join this, even though it is already the 11th
1. American Werewolf in London
Still good to see again (I had it saved in my PVR thingy)
2. Lake Placid - watched this morning - Bill Pullman and Bridget Fonda - about a giant crocodile
3. Repulsion (1965) with Catherine Deneuve - more like a psychological drama but has some horror moments in it.

20.) Pay the Ghost (2015). Okay, this further proves that I do not agree with the masses. IMDb rated this 5.2/10 and it was one of the best first-time-view movies I've watched this October! A very unique ghost story IMO. Granted, it wasn't Nick Cage's best performance, but it was still decent. Sarah Wayne Callies (Lori Grimes from TWD) plays his wife.

#2 Delirium - This one was a lot of fun trying to figure out what was real and what wasn't and it even managed to drum up a few scares for me. I really thought Topher Grace did a good job playing something a bit different too. 31 in 31 update: 3. The Final Girls - I was holed up at an airport motel in Buffalo and was desperate to meet my quota so I watched this. Wow, it was so much worse than I thought was possible. I have no idea why anyone would have even made this movie. It's technically a horror parody, I guess, but it's not remotely funny OR scary so it fails epically on all counts. I hope you never have to see this one. 4. The Nun (2004) - Having already seen the latest movie of this title (from the Conjuring franchise) back in September before the 31 in 31 challenge started, I decided it would be appropriate to sub this one in for the official event. Much like the recent movie of the same name (and, let's face it, most of the movies I'll watch this month), this film has an interesting premise and terrible execution. The CG is absolutely laughable. The twist at the end doesn't really make any sense at all. You can tell they really thought they were making something special here but failed to deliver on the actual mind-fuckery. 5. All I See is You - It is really a stretch to include this one since it definitely isn't horror but I was on vacation and this was available on the plane. It's technically a thriller but you'd be hard-pressed to find a single thrill in this movie. It was slow and boring. Every time I thought, "Oh boy, it's about to get good!" it totally let me down. So many missed opportunities in the writing and directing. 6. The Cloverfield Paradox - Again, not truly a horror movie but this one is close enough to count without guilt, I'd say, since thereâs so much crossover in this franchise. This was not great but it had a few fun/ creepy moments and I'll basically watch anything Chris O'Dowd is in. 7. Stir of Echos - I had seen this one before but couldn't remember it well enough to be certain when I was reading the synopsis so I decided to give it a go. I was quickly reminded that I loved this movie when it came out a million years ago and it actually holds up pretty well but damn if I didn't want punch Kevin Bacon's character right in the face for being such an awful husband through the entire f*****n thing. The combo of the ghost with an agenda and unraveling sanity story really does it for me though. 8. Jacob's Ladder - This is a classic that I had somehow never seen (I guess I always thought I had seen it and skipped over it) and now I know where the writers of Star Trek: TNG got the ideas for several of my favorite episodes (and clearly many filmmakers found inspiration here as well, as well). I love a good puzzle movie and this definitely is one. 9. Breaking In - This is basically a retelling of that Bruce Willis Hostage movie from the 90s except it's a mother rescuing her kids from the bad guys this time. I love a movie where a woman gets to kick some a§§ and make smart choices. I do wish that she got to be bad a§§ just for the sake of being bad a§§ rather than having to be in mama bear mode (women aren't only strong when they're protecting their kids, dontcha know) but this was pretty well done. It was pretty light on the gore though. |

10. Identity (2003) John Cusack Ray Liotta You need to stick with this one all the way through. At first, the movie seems like a compilation of slasher movie clichés but you need to stay with it. And that’s all I can say. 6/10
11. Frogs (1972) Ray Milland Sam Elliott One of those bad movies that’s kind of fun to watch. Nature gets pissed off about what we are doing and strikes back. This movie has Sam Elliott in an early role of his. I didn’t realize that Sam Elliott was young once.  5/10 |

I forgot how absolutely terrible this is. Just...nothing about it is believable and the acting is SO BAD (sorry, Jamie Lee). I'm not sure at this point that we're actually going to make it through all of them. We'll see. |
