This movie had a great retro feel to it. If you're a fan of 70's horror you'll want to check it out. It ranks high on the eye-candy scale as well.
October 12th, Creep
This was a found-footage style movie with some really awkward, yet very creepy moments. It centers around a man (with, allegedly, a terminal illness) who hires a freelance videographer to record a message, allegedly for his unborn son. Definitely a fun, suspenseful film.
Ok, by now I have to confess that I'm loving the Pinhead movies so far. This one is similar to the last few, although it starts to deviate toward cheesiness near the end (but it doesn't stray tooo far.) Pinhead really knows how to tear up the dance floor in a club.
October 14th, Scribbler
Ok, so be fair, this isn't really a horror movie, but geez, it sure looks like it on Netflix. Trippy cover art, a chick with multpile personalities, unsolved murders, and a dark, gritty tone make it an easy mistake to make. It's more like a superhero origin story... with lots and lots of eye candy.
Ok, so basically, it's about a sexually transmitted murderous ghost thing. If you catch it, it will very slowly walk towards you and kill you unless you pass it on to someone else (and it will eventually work it's way back to you after it kills them, unless they don't pass it on). I spent most of this movie trying to think of ways to beat it (like flying to Germany, go to a brothel, pay for a Japanese businessman to go right after me, etc.)
October 16, Hellraiser: Bloodline
It's like all the other Pinhead movies, except in SPACE! This one was definitely a bit different than the last three, but still pretty enjoyable. I do have a hunch however that the Hellraiser movies are all downhill from here.
October 18th, Ravenous
Not completely sure how "horror" this is, although it involved cannibals, Native American mythology, and that one guy who usually plays the sneaky/creepy/spineless guy in whatever he's in (Stargate: Universe, 28 Weeks Later, Once Upon a Time.) It was also a period piece, set in the 1840's. Imagine Dances with Wolves with less Indians and people eating human flesh.
October 19th, Dark Skies
At first, I was wary, because who wants to watch a horror movie with a PG-13 rating? It was yet another take on the classic UFO abduction mythos. It wasn't great, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I had anticipated.
October 20th, Pretty sure we skipped this night too. Expect another double review in the next entry!
October 21st, Friday the 13th
The hockey mask and the murderous monster behind it have become so iconic, so imagine having neither of them around in the movie that kicked off the Jason Vorhees franchise?
Do you like creepy old ladies and jump scares? Do you like demonic possession posing as Alzheimer's? You should look into this found footage/documentary style film.
October 23rd, Tales from the Darkside
Part one of this three-part movie: Be nice to the creepy student who's obsessed with ancient artifacts. Part two: Be nice to cats. Part three: It's ok to keep deep, dark secrets from your significant other.
October 24th, Stake Land
I really enjoyed this post-apocalyptic vampire/monster movie. It centered around a boy and the hunter (and general all-around badass) who rescued him making their way through a monster infested countryside. There were also some asshole cultists.
