Color Out of Space. Based on the Lovecraft story. Great film/adaption, very graphic as well. Hopefully they make more.

This is a prequel, takes place in the early 19,th century. The sisters, again very well played by Emily Perkins and Katherine Isabelle, still have that bond between them which carries the movie. Better than the sequel but not as good as the very good original. As long as you can accept that the sisters look the same as a couple of sisters 200 years later in the series you're gonna enjoy yourselfes.

24. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) (guest reviewer) Since Nightmare is an acknowledged classic I have reviewed here in prior years, I once again invited my 15-year-old daughter Jillian, who was seeing the film for the first time, to be the guest reviewer. Take it away, Jillian!
A dead murderer is terrorizing and murdering teens through their dreams.
I found this movie to be actually frightening, and it had a good balance of things that scared me immediately, and things that stuck with me after the movie that frightened me. I found that the move was perfectly suspenseful, maintaining fear in the right places for the right amounts of time so that my interest didn't drop off. The dream logic was absolutely on point. I could honestly believe that those were real dreams that a person could actually have, unlike in some other movies that handle dreams. I'm looking at you, Inception.
I also really enjoyed the kills in this movie. They were very creative in my opinion, and thoroughly disturbing as well. The effects were absolutely fascinating, and I love them with all my heart. The mother in this movie actually scared me more than the rest of the movie did, because I just felt really bad for her and I could see where she was coming from, but also seeing her so broken was just horrific.
Near the end, the logistics of what a person could get done in a very short period of time were definitely stretched, but that's forgivable. The ending was a bit odd, but as somebody who often struggles with having dreams in dreams, I can easily see that just being another layer to a nightmare. However, it definitely felt unsatisfying and clunky to me. I would've found perhaps an inclination that he was in the real world much more effective, because even though that could've been the real world, it definitely felt like a dream. Overall, this was just a really good movie that really spooked me. I don't think it really introduced many new concepts to me or anything, but it was very well done.
I want to rate it higher than Dead Alive, but I don't feel like it's quite at five stars, so I'll just say that it's four and half out of five stars.

46). The Wrong Stepmother (2019). Beyond bad. Laughable really. Was going to make a crack about Lifetime movies, then remembered Big Driver was one of them (I think). So there is hope for this channel. Unfortunately, this movie wasn't part of the redemption story.
47). Halloween Baking Championship (2015). Season 1/Episodes 3 & 4. Fun challenges and impressive creativity. How fun would it be to make spooky Halloween desserts all year? Bring on the goth goodies!

Rewatched a favourite of mine from when I was a kid, I Married A Monster From Outer Space, a woman's fiance is acting strangely.... is it wedding jitters... or something more sinister...
Also rewatched Ravenous, an extremely underrated movie. At a Fort in Nevada a bedraggled man turns up and tells a tale of how his wagon train got lost and how their guide resorted to murder and cannibalism, the Fort commander decides they should investigate..

25. The Hills Have Eyes part II (1985) (FTV) Eight years after the original 1977 film, a group of young friends are menaced by the clan of desert cannibals.
This Wes Craven film came right on the heels of his excellent first A Nightmare On Elm Street, and it is much maligned by critics and Wes Craven himself. It's often seen as a low-quality cash grab film capitalizing on the name recognition of the first Hills film, and the name of Wes Craven, and that's a fair assessment, but the film actually isn't nearly as bad as it's reputation.
Yes, this has none of the brutish subversive horror that made the original a classic, but does have many of the same elements and same characters, most notably the return of the egg-headed Michael Berryman, and Janus Blythe as Ruby, the reformed feral girl with a heart. New characters are introduced, most of them disposable except for a blind girl named Cass who has superior hearing and sense of smell, and who I found myself rooting for. There's the usual desert setting and nasty booby traps that the clan sets to maim and kill their unwitting human prey, and some fun chase sequences on motorcycles. Things sag a bit in the middle but pick up nicely at the end when the survivors left turn tables on the killers and make some booby traps of their own, leading to a satisfying ending.
Despite being a mid-80's film, the tone and music feel much more like a late 70's TV movie, blood and guts aside. Maybe Wes Craven was just phoning it in, but If you know nothing about the original film, this plays as an average, if dated, low budget action-horror film.

An anthology movie. Two are actually quite good, they are called The Wig and The Corpse Bride. The third and last, O.T., are just silly which lower the grade for the movie as a whole. And it is kind of refreshing to see that even if horrorstories are made in totally different cultures the basics are the same even if the details might be different. I saw a version of the The Others once, the Nicole Kidman movie, that was from Bollywood and it was an even better movie than The Others. Dont know which version was first. They can make scary movies too!!

26. Orca: The Killer Whale (FTV)
A killer whale seeks vengeance on the fishing boat captain who killed its pregnant mate.
Produced by the legendary Dino de Laurentiis, this 1977 film was obviously meant to be the next Jaws, and although it had a fraction of that film's quality, it saw some success. I distinctly remember as a nine-year-old seeing commercials for Orca and being thrilled at the sight of that toothy killer whale mouth that seemed to jump right out of my family's 19-inch black-and-white TV screen. The film doesn't quite live up to the thrilling trailer, but it delivers most of the goods, but with a certain amount of cheese and incredulity. This is one smart and pissed-off whale!
Richard Harris, already looking something like a withered old man in 1977, plays the fishing captain with gravitas, and his character actually grows and transforms during the movie as he grows to respect the whale that bears a grudge against him. Charlotte Rampling, sixteen years younger than Harris, plays a whale expert and is ostensibly Harris' love interest, which I found to be more unbelievable than the idea of a whale bearing a grudge. Stunner Bo Derek makes her big screen debut here as the most unlikely fishing boat crew member in history, and somehow manages to not be in a swimsuit the whole movie despite being near the ocean the entire time. Also look for Will Samson (Chief from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest), character actor Keenan Wynn (Dr. Strangelove, among many other films), and a soundtrack by Ennio Morricone (The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly).
If you can get past (or perhaps celebrate) the more ridiculous elements of the film (like the Orca pushing an iceberg into the boat to damage it, or knowing enough to start a gasoline leak and a fire on land by head-butting a pier support), then you'll have a good time with Orca.

48). Green Room (2015). Gawd help me. The animal stuff was more than I could take. I am completely traumatized. The scene at the end that epitomized a dog's loyalty pretty much crushed my soul. I am not young or edgy enough to appreciate the beginning scenes before it became gory mayhem. This is rated fairly high on IMDb, but is a definite hard pass for a girl like me.

The Birds (1963) 5/5 (rewatch) The Hitchcock classic does not go out of style. Its a bit of a slow starter but when it starts it pushes all the right buttons at the exact right time. Hitchcock certainly know exactly what he was doing. I can never see a playground without thinking about this movie. I found it interesting to note that the author that had written the script was Evan Hunter (aka Ed McBain, the father of the police crime novel). Filled with talented female actors, Tippi Hedren, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette and a very young Veronica Cartwright. Not very true to Du Mauriers original but a great movie nevertheless.

Rewatched...Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde, definitely the best adaptation of the classic story, Frédéric March plays the title roles and he is superb, he received the Oscar for his performance and it's easy to see why.... superb.
So far,
01. Dracula's Daughter 02. Son Of Dracula 03. House Of Frankenstein 04. Rogue 05. Crawl 06. Count Dracula 07. Mrs Amworth 08. The Wolf Of Snow Hollow 09. The Vampire 10. Creature From The Black Lagoon 11. Alone In The Dark 12. Murder By Decree 13. Creature 14. From The Dark 15. I Married A Monster From Outer Space 16. Ravenous 17. Jack The Ripper 18. Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde

27. Green Room (FTV)
Punk rockers witness a murder in a remote white supremacist club, and must find a way to escape alive.
I'd heard a lot of good things about Green Room back in 2016 but at the time I was fatigued with the sheer amount of films that were dealing with a single claustrophobic location and torture, which is what I incorrectly perceived this film to be based on the marketing. Yes, a good deal of the film is spent in the titular green room and the band's attempts to figure a way out of their plight, but while the film is quite violent and gory, it's not at all a torture film--unless you count the audience being expertly tortured by a master director.
This film features not one but two Star Trek alums in Anton Yelchin (Chekov) and Patrick Stewart, both playing against type to great effect. Their cat-and-mouse game is the highlight and central conflict of the film, but there's a great supporting cast (including the apparently ubiquitous Imogen Poots) and the characters are complex and nuanced. Even the neo-Nazis aren't treated as caricatures but actual (if very flawed) human beings. Sometimes we get angry at the decisions these people make and it's hard to really root for anyone, but you always feel like you're watching real people, not cardboard cutouts being put through their paces.
The director does a great job of building tension, holding the audience by the throat and slowly tightening it until we can barely breathe, with intermittent explosions of brutality and gore that will make even seasoned gore hounds squirm. He also shines light on the brutal underbelly of an America that we at once can't recognize but know has always been there, lurking in plain sight. Great stuff, can't recommend enough.

25.) A Nightmare on Elm Street 3
It`s my favorite sequel. Decent 80s horror film sequel with some nice kills, a scary yet quite likable main villain played to perfection by the always brilliant robert englund who managed to make freddy both evil and a joy to watch at the same time.
