Apparition (2012, PG-13, 82)

This movie was not half bad.   It was a pleasantly surprising PG-13 horror.  The cast and crew did an excellent job making this movie creepy and staying within the PG-13 rating.  The end is decent too.   However, one tagline was something to the effect of once you believe you die.  That did not make much sense to the viewers of Terror Flix.  All together this was a good movie.

Birds (1963, UN, 119)

Birds is an all-time classic movie.  Alfred Hitchcock is amazing making something very spooky about something as simple as birds.  He did a great job in Birds and after watching it you will likely be looking around. 

Flowers in the Attic (1987, PG-13, 91)

This is a story about a happy family with four kids.  When their father dies they are forced to move in with their very wealthy grandparents, who are very strange.  It has many creepy aspects and more of a thriller than “scary” movie.

Independence Day (1996, PG-13)

Ok, not really a “scary” movie, but the Terror of aliens invading the world is getting it a spot on here.  Aliens attack earth and humans give one hell of fight.  They have great graphics, story line, and actors.

Hostel 3 (2011, R, 88)

This hostel is based out of Las Vegas.  It has the same idea, but it is not as gruesome as the first two.  The other two did have a different set of expectations.  This one is softer and not as suspenseful.

People Under the Stairs (1991, R, 102)

People Under the Stairs is an 80’s classic.  A couple keeps people under the stairs secretly.  It is twisted and really fun. 

Nightmare Before Christmas (1993, PG, 76)

This is a great film for older children for the holidays.  The leader of Halloween has discovered Christmas and wants to lead Christmas.  He doesn’t quite get it, but it makes for a cute ghoulish holiday movie.   It’s a great classic movie for Christmas and Halloween or anytime.

Hitcher (2007, R, 84)

Remakes are always a worry.  This one does the first justice.  It stays fairly close to the original movie and adds the abilities of 2007.  Sean Bean does an excellent job playing the crazed killer.  A must see for Terror lovers.

Hitcher (1986, R, 97)

A young man drives across country and picks up a hitch hiker.  The man is a serial killer and they have a battle of cat and mouse.  It has suspense, gore, and terror.  Rutger Hauer and C. Thomas Howell do a great job!

Pact (2012, R, 89)

The Pact is an Independent film.  It was quite creepy and the story was a good one.  This movie was worth watching and brought back the thrill of watching a true scary without all the blood, guts, and nudity.  There is some blood and language, but not the overly trashy kind.

Occupant (2010, NR, 84)

At first this movie had curiosity and interest, but it is slow and doesn’t go anywhere.  The story ends up being really stupid and a waste of time.

Human Centipede (2004, R, 92)

What the Hell!  This movie separate from the centipede was well done and interesting.  BUT it is about a Human Centipede… Yes mouth, butt, mouth, butt…

Uninhabited (2010, NR, 93)

A couple go to an island they are told is uninhabited, but find they are not alone.  It was decent, but they failed to make the ending fit.  The story is extreme and little ridicules.

Puppetmaster (1989, R, 90)

Puppetmaster is one of the classics, but surely not the best.  It is great so see the inanimate objects be the killers.  It is still 80’s

Gone (2012, PG-13, 94)

Gone is a decent movie about a girl who says she escaped her kidnapper and now the same man has kidnapped her sister.  Nobody believes he and she has to fight against all.  It is good for younger girls (teens).
