If not, then Phantasm. I haven't seen that in ages....one of these days I have to watch it again. Today I'm gonna watch Spider Baby. My friend Veronica collects horror movies and has been telling me about this one for at least 5 years. Every year I forget to watch it....not gonna forget today! (I hope...  )  |

4.) The Village (2004). Re-watch. My second favorite M. Night (not going to try to spell his last name) film. Adrien Brody is excellent and this movie still holds up (for me) even after multiple viewings.
I think it was skimom who referred to him as shamma-lamma-ding-dong or something. Too funny. Gawd I miss that lady. Yes!! It was skimom! I always call him that now too. 😃 |

4. I Trapped the Devil (FTV)Picture this: you and your wife decide to pay your brother a surprise visit around Christmas time, but he's acting weird (well, weirder than usual) and tense. Eventually you find out why: he has a man held captive in his basement behind a locked door--a man he insists is the Devil himself, and should never be let out. If you've ever seen the old Twilight Zone episode "The Howling Man" (based on the story by Charles Beaumont), you're familiar with this setup, but it's a good one. The movie works best when posing the moral quandry that arises when a loved one commits a crime: do you become complicit, or turn them in and see them sent to jail? On top of this, what if it turns out that you're wrong, and you've just released the Devil to the world? Great performances from a small cast in tight quarters (the entirety of the film is shot on one property, mostly indoors), and good at keeping the tensions up, even if the story is a little thin and the characters might sometimes behave illogically, I Trapped the Devil kept me watching right up to the final frame. 4 out of 5 stars. Bob's October 2020 Horror Movie List*FTV denotes first-time viewings 1. Viy (1967) 4/5 (FTV) 2. Night Visitor 3/5 (FTV) 3. Tigers Are Not Afraid 5/5 (FTV) 4. I Trapped the Devil 4/5 (FTV)

1. American Murder 2020
Documentary about Chris Watts, the man who killed his pregnant wife and 2 little girls.
Not much to add to what has been said already. Never know what goes on behind closed doors, I guess. I cannot fathom any of it. I cannot imagine being his father and hearing him confess the way he did. My gosh. Just so many layers of disgust. I hope the faces of his little girls haunt him every single moment he has left in his life, waking and asleep. His wife, too. They obviously had marital issues...but no matter what, she did not deserve that either, or their unborn child.
2. The Birds
Wanted to watch after reading the story last week. Repeat viewing for me, but I admit I did not remember much, other than the birds. The movie bears little resemblance to the story, surprise! The story is better. I really don't care for this movie much, (maybe why I didn't remember much) it is a very slow burn and all the good stuff is in the last 30 minutes or so.

I saw this theatrically back in 1992, I remember laughing out loud at certain scenes that were supposed to be serious. But I do remember it being a fun little thriller.
Where do you find the majority of your October choices fushingfeef ? Amazon Prime? You always review interesting/obscure movies. (Not that I would have the guts to watch most of them! Lol)
As a big fan of the genre, I sort of keep my eyes opened all year for new titles. I read Horrorhound Magazine and that results in a few of the more obscure picks, but I also collect Blu-ray discs so when Arrow Video, Kino Lorber, or Shout Factory announce new titles, I pick up the interesting looking movies. |

15). House at the End of the Street (2012). Decent. I liked it even if it wasn't fantastic. I'm a fan of Elisabeth Shue and I didn't figure out the plot twist. (Granted, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.)
There are so many jokes about the stereotypical dialogue in horror movies. "I really think we're going to be happy here" needs to be added to the list.

3. Play or Die 2019
An escape room story, held in an abandoned mental hospital. The info says it was a Belgian release, the actors all had heavy accents and it was hard to understand them sometimes. Could have been cool but I had the twist figured out pretty quick. The escapes were less of a riddle kind, more of a Saw kind, only not nearly as clever.

17. The Babysitter: Killer Queen (2020) 2/5 (FTV) Sequel. More of the same just worse, and less of the only good thing in the first movie, the girl that played the babysitter. She appears in the final but is otherwise absent. But it was watchable at least.

18. Romina (2018) 1,5/5 (FTV) Spanish. A slasher. Teens go camping. Meet a girl from their school and decide to do something really stupid. Dpesn't make much sense. Neither the final twist nor the actions up til then. A disappointment.

5. Vivarium (FTV)
A couple looking for their dream home become trapped in a surreal suburban hellscape from which there is no apparent escape.
Vivarium could be called a form of sci-fi horror, although the science is mysterious and more like magic, and the horror is weird and unconventional. The viewer knows there must be monsters pulling the strings, but they are for the most part unseen, giving the viewer time to imagine and theorize, and dread the worst as the characters navigate their grim situation. It's nice to see an oddball movie like this actually get made, not being based on an existing franchise or relying on marquee star power (let's face it, Jessie Eisenberg is no Tom Cruise). This movie relies on the inherent tension in the concept, and even once we think we've figured it all out, it's like watching a disaster unfold in slow motion.
What keeps Vivarium from being great is that this absolutely didn't need to be a full-length movie. Everything in this story could have easily been told in an hour-long television show (if this had been on AMC's "Creepshow", it would have been the best of a strong bunch). With an already sparse story spread thin, things tend to get a bit repetitive, and the viewer's attention span is strained more than it needs to be. Maybe that was the point, to emphasize the drudgery of conformist suburbia, but I think there simply is just not enough story here to sustain a full-length film. Still, I give them points for doing something unique and weirding me out for a little while.
3 out of 5 stars.
