This was my first viewing and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Though it’s not scary by today’s standards, it’s easy to see why it is a classic and why it would have been deemed terrifying back then. Some of the visuals and dialog would have been quite daring for the time. Karloff is utterly captivating.
This movie has a little bit of blood. Ok, there’s a lot of blood. Fine, there’s an excessive amount blood which makes it awesome. Underrated, under appreciated and under seen horror film based on a Clive Barker short story with the same name. Vinnie Jones chews up the screen as the killer and Bradley Cooper …
Very intriguing werewolf flick. Great performance from the lead, he has a strong Charles Bronson quality with a very dry sense of humour. Well paced in between attacks, and it all builds to a thrilling, cleverly setup climax. Great transformation effects. Also, I literally did a fist pump when Tom Noonan appeared on screen. Love …

Rory Calhoun and Beulah Balbricker play siblings and together they run a backwoods motel with a pig farm attached to it. And things are not what they seem. This movie is so fun. Not as much gore as you’d expect from the subject matter, but what it lacks in violence it’s balanced out with very …

Based on the fake trailer with the same name which played before Grindhouse for the Canadian theatrical run. Over the top violence, creative death sequences (love the nooses with the crossbows), and thoroughly coated with cheese. Rutger Hauer is perfectly cast. Terrific fun.
Fantastic and often cringe-inducing gore. Inventive death sequences. One of the better horror films, and horror villains to come around in a long while. A must-see for slasher fans. A real treat.
Outside of the original, this is easily the best of the Elm Street movies. The makeup and special effects still hold up. Robert Englund gets some great material to work with and he delivers the scares and the laughs. The marionette death scene remains one of the best kills in the horror genre.
This movie has ’80s camp written all over it and it’s awesome. Sharp script full of laughs and scares. The underrated Chris Sarandon appears to be having a blast and the late, great Roddy McDowall is a hoot as the veteran “vampire killer”. Great nostalgic ’80s fun.
A great launching pad for Will Ferrell’s post SNL career. Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson are also as the top of their game. So many very funny one-liners and sight gags. Good clean, raunchy fun.
Do you like blood with your movies? Do you enjoy creative death scenes? Do you like to laugh at inappropriate times and things? Then this is the horror film for you because it was definitely for me. This flick is filled with over the top gore and extremely dark humour. Not for everyone, but fun …
