- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsDavid HemmingsDaria NicolodiGabriele LaviaA jazz pianist and a wisecracking journalist are pulled into a complex web of mystery after the former witnesses the brutal murder of a psychic.Watched the 126 min cut for the first time. Found it a little slow going for a giallo. Great ending and great music, but can't help from being a little over rated. Not my fav Argento.
- DirectorPiers HaggardStarsPatrick WymarkLinda HaydenBarry AndrewsIn early 18th century England, the children of a village slowly convert into a coven of devil worshipers.Slow, atmospheric and english. Okay, with weak ending.
- DirectorJohn HoughStarsRoddy McDowallGayle HunnicuttPamela FranklinA physicist, his wife and two mediums are hired to investigate the Belasco House, where 27 guests had inexplicably died in 1927, along with most of a team of paranormal investigators that was sent in the early 1950s.Disappointing. Not scary at all. Over acted.
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsAdrienne BarbeauJamie Lee CurtisJanet LeighAn unearthly fog rolls into a small coastal town exactly 100 years after a ship mysteriously sank in its waters.The opening story scared me away as a kid, turned out to be best part of the movie. How many small fishing towns have a part time Jazz station? Lesser Carpenter.
- DirectorTerence FisherStarsPeter CushingSusan DenbergThorley WaltersAfter being reanimated, Baron Frankenstein transfers the soul of an executed young man into the body of his lover, prompting her to kill the men who wronged them.The Hammer Frankenstein movies are "monsterless". Story is centered on the doctor and his evil doings in a small town. I liked it.
- DirectorGeorge A. RomeroStarsHal HolbrookLeslie NielsenAdrienne Barbeau"Creepshow" is a 1982 movie that tells five grisly tales from a children's comic book: a murdered father rising from his grave, a bizarre meteor, a vengeful husband, a mysterious crate's occupant, and a plague of cockroaches.Fun movie, not too predictable. Glad Mr. King stopped acting.
- DirectorTommy WirkolaStarsGeir Vegar HoelØrjan GamstMartin StarrStill on the run from a group of Nazi zombies, a man seeks the aid of a group of American zombie enthusiasts, and discovers new techniques for fighting the zombies.A movie made exclusively for 19 yr old fanboys\girls of zombie games and comics etc. I really tried not to hate it because it wasn't made for an old fart like me. Very disappointing. American geeks save Norway for the Norweigens. what B.S.
- DirectorCarlos Enrique TaboadaStarsAna Patricia RojoElsa María GutiérrezLeonor LlausásA 10 year old girl convinces a lonely classmate that she is a witch, forcing the child to become her assistant. Though their games are initially rather naive, they gradually take a nasty and violent turn.amazing acting by the two little girls,
plays like an extra long Twilight Zone episode, all about the ending. - DirectorJoe DanteStarsDee WallacePatrick MacneeDennis DuganAfter a bizarre and near deadly encounter with a serial killer, a television newswoman is sent to a remote mountain resort whose residents may not be what they seem.Has a 70's feel, nice sleazy story. Flawed but good ending.
Dennis Dugan the hero? - DirectorPupi AvatiStarsGabriele LaviaAnne CanovasPaola TanzianiStefano, a young journalist, buys a used typewriter and accidentally sees that some text is still readable on the ribbon. He manages to reconstruct the story of a scientist, Paolo Zeder, who in the 1950's discovered that some types of terrain have the power to revive the dead that are buried in them. Stefano's investigations bring him in contact with a group of renegade scientists that are still making experiments to prove Zeder's theories.Mystery tale high in atmosphere and mood, light on the revenge and the dead.
- DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsJeff GoldblumGeena DavisJohn GetzA brilliant but eccentric scientist begins to transform into a giant man/fly hybrid after one of his experiments goes horribly wrong.Great monster movie with just enough Cronenberg to make it his own. Gorier than I remembered. Great pre-cgi special effects.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsBruce CampbellEllen SandweissRichard DeManincorFive friends travel to a cabin in the woods, where they unknowingly release flesh-possessing demons.Much different in tone than next two movies. Intense and gory greatness.
- DirectorTobe HooperStarsMarilyn BurnsEdwin NealAllen DanzigerFive friends head out to rural Texas to visit the grave of a grandfather. On the way they stumble across what appears to be a deserted house, only to discover something sinister within. Something armed with a chainsaw.Almost a tame vacation movie compared to Evil Dead. Greatness lays in the oppressive sense of dread and terror created by the sound and fear of the chainsaw.
- DirectorTerence FisherStarsPeter CushingHazel CourtRobert UrquhartWhile awaiting execution for murder, Baron Victor Frankenstein tells the story of a creature he built and brought to life - only for it to behave not as he intended.I love how much of an evil prick Baron Frank. is in the Hammer series. Well told and well acted.
- DirectorCharles BartonWalter LantzStarsBud AbbottLou CostelloLon Chaney Jr.The Wolf Man tries to warn a dimwitted porter that Dracula wants his brain for Frankenstein monster's body.nice to see Bela Lugosi in a "good" movie
- DirectorJack ArnoldStarsRichard CarlsonJulie AdamsRichard DenningA strange prehistoric beast lurks in the depths of the Amazonian jungle. A group of scientists try to capture the animal and bring it back to civilization for study.great underwater photography and a whole lot of very 50's attitudes, quite enjoyable.
- DirectorTerence FisherStarsPeter CushingFrancis MatthewsEunice GaysonHaving escaped execution and assumed an alias, Baron Frankenstein transplants his deformed underling's brain into a perfect body, but the result proves to be mortally perilous.Misleading title, good movie quite similar to the first except that the monster is now very human looking
- DirectorDan O'BannonStarsClu GulagerJames KarenDon CalfaWhen two bumbling employees at a medical supply warehouse accidentally release a deadly gas into the air, the vapors cause the dead to rise again as zombies.one of the very few great horror/comedy's.
"send more copssss !" - DirectorToshiharu IkedaStarsMiyuki OnoAya KatsuragiHitomi KobayashiA late night TV presenter receives a snuff tape, in which a woman is brutally killed. She decides to take a crew out to a location indicated in the tape, but only death and despair await them.Fairly light on the gore and crazy Japanese-ness until inexplicable last couple minutes. A little disappointing
- DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsJennifer O'NeillStephen LackPatrick McGoohanA scientist trains a man with an advanced telepathic ability called "scanning" to stop a dangerous Scanner with extraordinary psychic powers from waging war against non scanners.Starts like a classic, ends with a whimper. Great plot kinda goes astray in second half and movie is let down by poor acting of cardboard pretty boy lead. Failed masterpiece.
- DirectorChuck RussellStarsShawnee SmithKevin DillonDonovan Leitch Jr.A deadly entity from space crash-lands near a small town and begins consuming everyone in its path. Panic ensues as shady government scientists try to contain the horrific creature.Very competent but by the numbers remake of over rated 50's movie. Quite good fx but cliches galore and Kevin Dillon with the gayest, curliest and best kept hair a tough guy teen ever had keep this from greatness. okay timewaster
- DirectorUmberto LenziStarsHugo StiglitzLaura TrotterMaria Rosaria OmaggioAn airplane exposed to radiation lands, and blood drinking zombies emerge armed with knives, guns and teeth! They go on a rampage slicing, dicing, and biting their way across the Italian countryside.Man, do I love me some cheesy Italian horror goodness. Crazy plot and badly acted but full of action and excitement. Zombies with a plan? and guns? who kill with knives? Good fun.
- DirectorBrian De PalmaStarsMargot KidderJennifer SaltCharles DurningA small-time reporter tries to convince the police she saw a murder in the apartment across from hers.Margot Kidder was so delicate, non? So not what I expected. Last half hour was sublimely insane and great.
- DirectorWilliam Cameron MenziesStarsHelena CarterArthur FranzJimmy HuntA young boy learns that space aliens are taking over the minds of earthlings.Funny, cheesy and silly. Aliens must die!
- DirectorJack ArnoldStarsRichard CarlsonBarbara RushCharles DrakeA spaceship from another world crashes in the Arizona desert and only an amateur stargazer and a schoolteacher suspect alien influence when the local townsfolk begin to act strangely.Panicky, paranoid and full of subtext. Aliens are just misunderstood.
- DirectorFred M. WilcoxStarsWalter PidgeonAnne FrancisLeslie NielsenA starship crew in the 23rd century goes to investigate the silence of a distant planet's colony, only to find just two survivors, a powerful robot, and the deadly secret of a lost civilization.Holy sexual repression! Everyone in this movie just needs to get laid and chill the frack out. Adds new meaning to "psychological" horror. Looks great in BluRay though. Count how many outfits she wears
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsJessica HarperStefania CasiniFlavio BucciAn American newcomer to a prestigious German ballet academy comes to realize that the school is a front for something sinister amid a series of grisly murders.the soundtrack to this movie is amazing, all crazy wailing and terrorific.
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsDonald PleasenceJamie Lee CurtisTony MoranFifteen years after murdering his sister on Halloween night 1963, Michael Myers escapes from a mental hospital and returns to the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois to kill again.nuf said
- DirectorRick RosenthalStarsJamie Lee CurtisDonald PleasenceCharles CyphersWhile Dr. Loomis hunts for Michael Myers, a traumatized Laurie is rushed to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital, and The Shape is not far behind her.Possibly the laziest sequel ever written, and the worst police force.
boo..... - DirectorSteve MinerStarsJamie Lee CurtisJosh HartnettAdam ArkinLaurie Strode, now the dean of a Northern California private school with an assumed name, must battle the Shape one last time, as the life of her own son hangs in the balance.Pretty safe and predictable, no one unexpected died.
Conclusive ending.
next! - DirectorTommy Lee WallaceStarsTom AtkinsStacey NelkinDan O'HerlihyKids all over America want Silver Shamrock masks for Halloween. Doctor Daniel Challis seeks to uncover a plot by Silver Shamrock owner Conal Cochran.I unexpectedly liked this movie. I like any movie which has the balls to kill a child on screen. Catchy jingle and a dark ending, yes please.
The second best Halloween movie
