This was a little better than I expected it to be,

Pretty good soundtrack.
Can't be too bad with
White Zombie and St. Joan the Jet.

18. "Antlers" 2020
This is an EXCELLENT film in every way.
Great cast and performances!
Russell and Plemmons just keep getting better with time.
Would have liked to have seen more of Madigan and Cochrane.
Love Graham Green in everything, he NEVER disappoints.
And the children were outstanding!
Good for you little guys. 
The story was very good and a version quite true to legend.
(there are many variations and descriptions of the Wendigo
among the Native North American Indian peoples)

fushingfeef , the girl in "Orphan" was very good!
There's a couple of times in that film
she really makes you think she IS 30? 31?
I really want to see "Barbarian"! |

9. Baskin (4,5/5)
While taking a break, a unit of cops receive a distress call over the radio.
Directed to an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere, they soon find themselves trapped in a surreal and nightmarish world.
Dark, disturbing, psychological, gory movie
that will keep you engaged till the end.
Everything from the score, the cinematography,
the story which in depth is slightly difficult to put into words, is brilliant.
Although surreal and trippy, it still maintains something of a human connection.

10. Hellraiser (3,5/5)
A couple moves to an old house to find the man's brother and the wife's former lover who has turned into an ugly beast.
He now bids the woman to bring him human sacrifices to help him be whole again.
Absolute classic, one of the best horror film of the 80's.
Highlights of this movie were the otherworldly character design and the FX (damn good for 1987).
Wish Pinhead had more screentime.

11. I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) (FTV)
Teens who caused a hit-and-run death are menaced by a murderous hook-handed stalker.
Seems like the obvious winning formula: photogenic twenty-somethings playing teenagers getting picked off one by one, so maybe it’s not surprise that this movie was a hit. But IKWYDLS is strangely anachronistic: it’s based on a 1973 book, features covers of old songs, and was released in 1997 after standard slashers were all but dead. Fortunately, the genre had recently been revived by Scream, but it seems a step backward in the face of Wes Craven’s superior film, and lacks any sense of self-awareness.
For me the biggest problem is in the choice of lead character—while Jennifer Love Hewitt gives a competent performance, her character is poorly written, and easily the most dull of the lot. She’s the supposedly sensible moral center of the film that we’re supposed to be rooting for, but she is never elevated above being a scold and a spectator who screams a lot when things get rough. Her romantic interest, played by the blandly charming late Freddy Prinze Jr., isn’t much better—they seem to want us to like him, despite what he has been party to.
The more morally questionable but nuanced characters played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, who plays a washed up beauty pageant winner, and Ryan Phillipe, who is angry and swears a lot, would at least have made for more interesting leads. Better yet, why not give us more story about the victim’s sister, played with laconic menace by the late Anne Heche, or give us additional scenes with Johnny Galecki who plays against type as a sleazeball? It’s frustrating that we’re given so little of what works best, in service of sticking with the straightforward.
Aside from an effectively suspenseful chase scene with Sarah Michelle Gellar, IKNYDLS is largely lifeless and artless, ploddingly by-the-numbers, and not even particularly bloody despite the R-rating. Maybe I’m just asking too much of a slasher, but I think they could have done a lot more with this.

I saw the American version around 2013 I guess.
And the original earlier this year.
This was the first time I've watched them together in one night.
Lol, it was worth the little bit of lost sleep.
The actors who portrayed the main characters
were all excellent!
But I have lean more towards Richard Jenkins,
he's a favorite in all he does.
Comedy, drama...all of it.
I think both films are very similar,
(true to one another, and moving/affecting)
and they are equals in quality. 🙂 |

12. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (FTV)
Leatherface and his cannibal family are back making their special recipe of barbecue.
The original TCM is inarguably a horror classic, so how do you follow that up a dozen years later? Director Tobe Hooper’s answer was to take things in a darkly comedic direction, and add a lot more blood and gore. This choice must have angered a lot of fans of the original, which while occasionally satirical, was mostly viewed as a scary, atmospheric descent into the underbelly of rural Texas. Expectations aside, I found TCM2 to be a lot of fun, silly, downright bonkers, and loved the heapings of gore courtesy of make-up effects maestro Tom Savini.
Surprisingly, despite being far more bloody and violent than the original, the kill count is actually pretty low in this one. It’s not so much a “massacre” as an “occurrence”, but in watching the extras, a major scene of full-scale slaughter was inexplicably left on the cutting room floor. Dennis Hopper is firing on all cylinders, but I felt like a middle act was missing to his character arc—he goes from being an obsessive relative of one of the victims to a deranged chainsaw-wielding berserker in a matter of a few scenes. Lead female Caroline Williams establishes a strong character at the beginning but is reduced to a screaming cartoon of panic for much of the proceedings. Bill Moseley gives a great deranged performance as Chop Top, and even Leatherface shows some stirrings of human emotion behind his fleshy mask.
While not even coming close to being scary, TCM2 is nonetheless an entertaining and gory 101 minutes of lunacy.

I wonder - would the movie "What We Do in the Shadows" count as horror? I recorded it recently and Andy made the comment that it was crap but I thoroughly enjoyed it when I saw it in the past.
Another favourite is Dark Shadows with Johnny Depp and Michelle Pfeiffer

12. Die Monster Die (1965) Boris Karloff
A young man visits his fiancée's estate to discover that her wheelchair-bound scientist father has discovered a meteorite that emits mutating radiation rays that have turned the plants in his greenhouse to giants. When his own wife falls victim to this mysterious power, the old man takes it upon himself to destroy the glowing object with disastrous results.
Based on a Lovecraft tale. Not too bad but there are a few spots that drag and I have no idea where they got the title from. 5/10
