  • Halloween: Resurrection

    —

    ,

    As I mentioned after watching Halloween H20, I wanted to watch its direct sequel out of curiosity. The way they get out of Michael’s death in H20 is pretty ridiculous — and even more silly in that the producer forced the creators of H20 to develop this and put it in a contract while they…

  • Halloween H20: 20 Years Later

    —

    ,

    I got interested in re-watching this after reading an article about it in the latest issue of SFX magazine earlier today. Coming after a few sequels that got worse and worse, this was supposed to be a proper coda for the series, while bringing back Jaime Lee Curtis as well (although it’s a coda that…

  • Death of Me

    —

    ,

    I didn’t really know much about this movie other than the setting sounded interesting (a small island in Thailand) and it stars Maggie Q, who I tend to like in movies. I ended up quite enjoying this — it’s horror, but it’s also a mystery, as the main character is trying to understand why strange…

  • The Babysitter: Killer Queen

    —

    ,

    Well, as expected, I ended up having a blast watching this, and I think it’s as fun if not funner than the first one. I was really curious to see how they were going to follow-up the first one — considering the state of most of the characters at the end — and they ended…

  • The Trigger Effect

    —

    ,

    I ended up watching this after reading an article in the latest issue of Empire magazine on David Koepp, who is behind this year’s You Should Have Left, which I was planning on watching shortly — the article mentioned that both this and Stir of Echoes are well worth watching, and so I added both…

  • The Exorcist III

    —

    ,

    I think this has always been considered a better sequel than the second one, and there are certainly some scenes in this movie that are incredibly compelling. The two standouts for me are the extended shot down the corridor that ends with the killing of the nurse (truly oneof the most terrifying scenes to watch,…

  • The Babysitter

    —

    ,

    I remember when this came out a few years ago, and I didn’t bother checking it out — thinking it was just a kids comedy — but seeing that a sequel was recently released probably influenced me in giving it a chance, and you know what, this was pretty damn fun. Definitely more in the…

  • Tales From the Darkside

    —

    ,

    This one falls under both my October horror movie marathon and my 1990 movie marathon — and in fact, I’ve been saving up the horror movies from 1990 to watch during October (although I did jump the gun with Nightbreed). This was pretty fun, an anthology of horror stories that definitely feels like something out…
