Strangeland (1998, R, 85)
Although this movie is from the 90’s, it is still worth it
today. Girls go to meet someone they met
on the internet, but it is not who they thought. It is a painful movie, so not for the weak
stomach.
Turistas (2006, R, 93)
A group of Americans go to Brazil. They get kidnapped like so many other
movies. It is nothing new and not the
best of what is out in this category. It
isn’t horrible, just not great.
Hannibal Rising (2007, R 121)
Hannibal Lecture is a great character. This movie does a great job showing his
childhood and how he became what he is now.
The story line was intriguing and it had the aspects of the other
Hannibal Lecture stories. It overall is
a great movie.
Silent Hill Revelation (2012, R, 94)
The visuals are good and scary, but overall this movie is
more of the same old.
Scary Movie aka Scary Movie 5 (2013, PG-13, 86)
This movie pushes all the limits to keep it to PG-13. In face I was surprised it wasn’t R
anyway. It is definitely the worse Scary
Movie and a disappointment.
Conjuring (2013, R, 112)
This movie is rated R for content. It doesn’t have R rated violence, language, or
anything like that. It is based on a true
story, which always makes it fun. It was
pretty creepy. The story, acting, and all that makes for a great movie.

Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 (1990, TV-14, 80)
Likely the worse one, but Viggo Mortensen is fun.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1994, R, 95)
Not the best, but it has Matthew McConaughey.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986, UR, 89)
TCM2 makes for more of a cult classic following. It has humor and just plain silliness, but
still has blood and screaming..,
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974, R, 83)
An obvious classic, TCM is the starting point of the rest to
come. It is a great slasher story. It is loosely based on the life of Ed Gein,
very loose, but still awesome.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003, R, 98)
This remake was pretty good, a basic updating of the
original.
Haunted House (2013, R, 86)
I like the Wayans brothers…
This movie was just that bad. It
did not have the material for 86 minutes.
Most of the skits were just turning the original into some perverted
mess. Some is funny, but it was over
the top.
Awakening (2011, R, 106)
This is a British ghost thriller movie. Knowing that, I was worried it would be quite
boring, but it was a pretty good ghost story...
House on Haunted Hill (1959, NR, 74)
Vincent Price is great in this Classic thriller. Well worth a watch. Even my children sat down and Stayed to
watch. It is also quick if you have a
hard time with the black and whites.
Sharknado (2013, TV, 86)
Sharknado (2013, TV, 86)
I think the title really says it all. It makes you wonder, but you really know it
doesn’t make sense. So if you get past
the title, realizing it will be ridiculous, continue watching. It is so bad it is entertaining.
Hellraiser 6: Hellseeker (2002, R, 89)
Hellraiser 6: Hellseeker (2002, R, 89)
The thing with Hellraiser is they really work on changing
the story up on sequels. This one is
about a man who doesn’t remember what or why.
It is one of my favorite stories for Hellraiser.
Evil Dead (2013, R, 91)
Remaking Evil Dead has me torn. Evil Dead was not great for me. Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness however,
were some of the best movies Ever made!
To remake it and to be scary worried me.
I have to say, they did an excellent job. They made it close enough to the originals to
use the name, but not so close everything would be compared. It was gory, scary, and fun to have some
likeness to the originals. So after
being a hater, I enjoyed Evil Dead (2013).
State of Emergency (2011, NR, 90)
Zombies! That is it
for this movie and there are only a few.
Not the best zombie movie ever and certainly not the worst. As for the rating, I would say R for violence,
but there is not even much of that.
Frozen (2010, R, 93)
I had heard this movie was really good and it had good
ratings… for a horror. It was
disappointing. The story drags and has a
“shocking” ending. The truth of it is,
any movie would have issues getting 93 minutes out of this story. It was not worth a watch.
Dark Skies (2013, PG-13, 97)
Dark Skies was fun and scary. It was good for kids and adults. A family is being disturbed by something they
cannot explain, which makes it more realistic movie and that makes it
scarier. It is one of the best alien
movies in a long time.
Haunting in Connecticut 2 (2013, R, 100)
This is much better than the first. It is very loosely based on a true story, but
that always makes it a little more fun.
It is more of a ghost story then an all-out blood fest.
The Collection (2012, R, 82)
The Collection is Collector 2. You can see it without seeing the first, but
it helps. It had a decent story and was
super gory. It is perfect for those who
liked the Saw movies.
Mimesis (2011, R, 95)
It is rare that someone takes a classic and turns it into
something worth watch, but this was good.
It takes groupies and they end up living the movie. I recommend watching Night of the Living Dead
first, but Mimesis was fun even if you have never seen it.
Night of the Living Dead (1968, UR, 96)
This is the original zombie movie. It is a classic and a great movie. There is no doubt why it became such an
amazing classic. It is the old black and
white, but my kids sat through it, so suck it up!
Hellraiser 8: Hellworld (2005, R, 91)
There is a game of Hellworld that is
basically a game of Hellraiser. A group
of friends take the game seriously and one actually dies because of it. All the friends are then invited to a
Hellworld party, which is the main part of the movie. As usual, it is different from the others,
but has a good story and actors.
Hellraiser 7: Deader (2005, R 86)
A journalist is looking into a group
called deader. They believe your body is
not real. They kill themselves then a
man brings them back to life. It has an
interesting change from the other Hellraisers, but still has the cenobites
quite often. It was pretty decent.
