NIGHTMARE aka NIGHTMARES IN A DAMAGED BRAIN , BLOOD SPLASH (1981) In this Italian bloodbath a murderous schizophrenic has nightmares about the murder of his parents (a murder he committed) . He is given an experimental drug and declared cured , he is then released from the mental hospital , but of course he is not cured and before long he is back to his murderous ways littering the east coast with bodies while stalking a mother and her three kids on a road trip from New York to Florida. This gory slasher directed by Romano Scavolini , claims that make up master Tom Savini handled the special effects on the film , but Savini disputes this and states that he worked only as a consultant to the fx supervisor . Either way the effects are good 'n gory , the style and atmosphere of the movie is reminiscent of "Maniac" and "Pieces". A little slow in some spots but i feel its a must see for gore hounds.



DEATH DREAM aka DEAD OF NIGHT (1974) A family receives a letter from the department of defense telling them that thier son Andy has been killed in Vietnam , the distraught mother cries and pleads with God to not let it be true and suddenly one night her prayers are answered when Andy shows up at the front door. But soon it seems that Somethings not right with Andy , apparently he is suffering from post war depression, he doesn't sleep or eat or communicate with his family and becomes extremely irrational and violent. We soon realize that Andy is one of the undead , some sort of zombie even though he is never really called that in the film. It makes a great statement about what returning soldiers must face when trying to leed normal lives after suffering the horrors of war . This truly frightening movie is a variation of W.W Jacobs 1902 short story "THE MONKEYS PAW" , Its directed by the late great Bob Clark( BLACK CHRISTMAS , PORKYS , A CHRISTMAS STORY) and is notable as the first film that fx genius Tom Savini worked on. Recommended .


PROM NIGHT (1980) Jamie Lee Curtis' second foray into the slasher genre in no where near the film her first was (Halloween) but it is still a fun entertaining horror movie. A group of friends are responsible for the death of a playmate while playing a hide and seek type game called the killers are coming. They all make a pact to keep the truth about her death a secret , the deception is made that much easier when a known pedophile is found in the area and is convicted for her death . Six years later on the week of their senior prom they start receiving strange unsettling phone calls asking each of them to"come out and play" . They all kind of blow it off all seeming more concerned with the big night coming up . When prom night finally does arrive the group are stalked and slashed by a killer out for revenge because he knows the truth to their secret. Pretty tame in the gore department for an 80's film , the end results of the killings are shown but not the act itself, also because of the soundtrack and extended disco dance scenes this one seems very dated. Still like most early 80's slashers its fun to watch and has a certain charm not found in today's movies.


HELLO MARY LOU : PROM NIGHT 2 (1987 ) In name only sequel to PROM NIGHT , this is a tale of revenge from beyond the grave that borrows heavily from genre classics such as A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Carrie. Mary Lou Malony is Hamilton high prom queen of 1957 who is killed in a prank gone wrong by her jilted boyfriend Bill. 30 years later Bill is the principal of Hamilton high and his son is getting ready to attend the prom with his girlfriend Vicki , when Vicki unwittingly releases Mary Lou's ghost from a trunk hidden at the school she is possessed by the vengeful spirit and all hell breaks loose. A totally different vibe than the original PN , this is more of a supernatural comedy/horror than slasher , I really have no idea why they even used the name , they should have just called it HELLO MARY LOU, anyway its still fun to watch for what it is .


PROM NIGHT 3 : THE LAST KISS (1990 ) Mary Lou is back in the 3rd entry in the series and this one is a direct sequel to the 2nd film . Here the film makers take the whole thing into an even more comedic direction with silly humor and corny death scenes , most of the jokes fall flat on their face however and are highly derivative of the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET films with Mary Lou playing the part of the wise cracking villain. In this one Mary Lou somehow escapes from hell , returns to Hamilton High and falls for a kid named Alex , she soon starts knocking off anyone who gets in Alex's way and its up to his girlfriend Sarah to defeat the evil Mary Lou and save Alex. Juvenile and dumb , my least favorite in the series , but somehow still watchable.

PROM NIGHT IV : DELIVER US FROM EVIL (1992 ) What a franchise parts 2 and 3 have nothing to do with part 1 and part 4 has nothing to do with any of them.
Now with that out of the way this is actually a lot better than you would expect a pt. 4 to be. A priest who feels he must punish sinners , kills 2 teens on prom night in 1957 and is locked away, in 1991 he escapes and stalks 4 more teens out boozing and whoring on prom night . Its slow moving in some spots and has a pretty derivative story , but it does have some creepy and atmospheric moments , and since they moved away from the Mary Lou character and goofy attempts at humor its much better than parts 2 and 3 . Worth a watch.


THE MUTILATOR aka FALL BREAK (1985) Here's a slasher from the 80's that a lot of you probably don't remember, mainly because its not had a proper DVD release and the video was pretty hard to find .The story revolves around college friends who share a beach condo during fall break & they are killed off by a psycho who's identity is obvious but they still try to make you wonder who's behind the slayings. As with most 80's slashers the gore effects are the main highlights here , in my opinion it is one of the better slashers of the era. There is a European DVD release but other than that unless you still have a video store in your area that has old VHS stuff its going to be a hard one to find but its definitely worth seeking out .

MEGA PIRANHA(2010) This made for TV (SYFY channel) movie is ridiculous ,the acting is atrocious , the effects are really bad cgi and if your a bad movie fan as i am this is a must see! Don't think this was made by people that don't know what they are doing , the folks at THE ASYLUM who made this film knew exactly what they were doing , they made a flick to appeal to a select audience of bad cinema aficionados and they were very successful . A genetically mutated strain of piranha escape from the Amazon and eat their way toward Florida. They double in size every 2 to 4 hours and by the time they reach Florida they are the size of whales , jumping 100's of ft. into the air , crashing into hotels , eating beachcombers , battleships and helicopters , the action never lets up for a minute and the dialog is so bad its a laugh riot. Starring Barry Williams( Greg , from THE BRADY BUNCH) and former 80's teen pop star Tiffany ,this is a fun action/horror film that is totally unashamed at its cheesiness. Dumb fun that's worth a look.



CURSE OF BIGFOOT(1978) In a high school classroom a teacher and his students are having a discussion about cryptozoology , the teacher introduces a friend who tells the class a story of an encounter he and some of his students had years earlier with a creature who was responsible for several deaths and the loss of sanity for 3 of his students while on an archeology dig where they unearthed a mummy and it came back to life. This film is actually comprised of two films , the first 30 min. is the classroom lecture and some narriration about evolution , the last 60 min. is a 1958 movie titled TEENAGERS BATTLE THE THING . This has been pegged as one of the worst films ever made and rightly so, this is so slow moving its facinating to watch , the acting is wooden at best and the creature effects aint so special. If your a bad cinema fan youve got to check it out , if not you might get a headache.

MARTIN(1977) Martin is a disturbed young man who feels the need to murder and drink the blood of his victims believing himself to be a vampire. He does not however suffer from any of the supernatural trappings of a traditional vampire , garlic , crucifixes and sunlight do not have an effect on him and when he kills it is not with fangs but by injecting his victims with drugs and cuting them with razor blades.

This George Romero film is more a study of insanity and superstition than your typical vampire film , its bleek and depressing locations set a great creepy mood to the film. Some may find this a little slow and gorehounds may be somewhat dissapointed but personnally i find this to be one of Romeros best movies.

PROM NIGHT(2008) First off this has absolutly nothing in common with the 1980 slasher film of the same name except for the title and the fact it takes place at a prom. There is very little gore here but it is PG-13 so i wasnt expecting it anyway , by the way the original was kinda skimpy in the blood department also. Im absolutely sick of all of the remake /re-imaginings being released so I went into this expecting to hate it but i found found myself somewhat enjoying it , yes its flawed and has a few lapses in logic but its still not a bad movie , this was made to appeal to the teen crowd and i can see why they would enjoy it ,the characters are likable and the actors are believable in there role, it doesnt look like a bunch of 30 year olds trying to play teens and the story moves along at a pretty good pace . Ive spent 90 min. watching worse . An unrated DVD is available .

THE SCI - FI BOYS(2006) This is a wonderful documentary that is simply a homage to the monster and science fiction movie makers and writers from the 1930's - 1970's, it focuses mainly on founder and editor of FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND magazine Forest J. Akerman , special effects legend Ray Harryhausen and writer Ray Bradbury , and is filled with interviews from fx artists and directors like Peter Jackson and Rick Baker talking about how they were influenced by these pioneers. You can tell that this was a labor of love for the filmakers , its a heart warming fun look at the past for fanboys like myself who grew up on theses films and magazines .Recomended


DRACULA VS FRANKENSTEIN(1971) " The kings of horror battle to the death!" screams the poster for this Al Adamson drive in classic. Pretty typical for an Adamson film, bad acting , flimsy plot but still a fun way to spend 90 min.
This essentially is an update of the UNIVERSAL PICTURES monster mash-ups of the 40's updated for the 1960's /70's . Dracula blackmails an elderly DR. Frankenstein into resurecting his monster and so he can have the blood of the monsters victims. If for no other reason horror fans should watch this for the final screen apperances of Lon Chany Jr. and J.Carol Nash. As a bonus there is a guest apperance by Forrest J. Akerman and the goofiest Dracula ever commited to celluloid. You can watch the movie at this link . > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaZWGNVUQoI


DAUGHTERS OF SATAN(1972) Tom Selleck plays James an art buyer who purchases a painting of witches being burned at the stake , one of the witches in the painting looks very similar to his wife , after a while she starts behaving strangely and gradually she seems to become possessed by the witch , she becomes friends with two other women who are also possessed by the other witches in the painting and they begin to plan James' death, as it seems that he is a descendant of the man responsible for the witches being burned at the stake .This cheapy was shot in the Philippines by the guy who directed the 70's children's TV show HR PUFFINSTUFF. Its filled with bad acting and silly dialog and would benefit from a quicker pace but this is one of those schlock cinema classics that most B-movie fans will want to see.

WIND CHILL(2007) Two college students are on there way home for Christmas vacation when they are run off the road by a passing car into a snowbank and get stranded on a deserted road, through out the film they are haunted by the ghosts of other travelers who have died in the area. Wind chill is a decent horror film that has some suspense and decent atmosphere , it's nothing special mind you, but it is still better than alot of the other junk released in the last few years.
The film makers deserve props for trying to tell an old fashioned ghost story instead of making another torture porn style flick and even though they fall a little short its decent and worth a look.

BEYOND THE DARKNESS (1980) AKA BUIO OMEGA , BURIED ALIVE : This is the story of a necrophiliac cannibal taxidermist by Italian gore miester Joe D'Amato. When our main characters girlfriend dies he stuffs her body , keeps it in his bed, then kills and taxidermy's other woman in extremely graphic and gory scenes. This movie is so nasty me and a former roommate invited some ladies over on Halloween to watch some horror movie and after we put this one on the young ladies were so appalled they told us we were sick disgusting pieces of trash , told us to never call them again and walked out the door. We finished our movie night and drank beer . Id say we got the better end of the deal. If your a gore hound this is a must see.

THE BOOGENS(1981) 4 mine surveyors are hired to explore a silver mine that has been closed for a hundred years to see whether or not it is worth reopening. After they do some blasting they soon find out that they've released the title creatures which look kinda like turtles with tentacles and nasty sharp teeth . The monsters are pretty silly looking when finally revealed but that doesn't come until late in the film so its not a major issue . This is a fun little flick that is not very well known and kind of hard to find ( TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES aired it this past Halloween) but its worth seeking out if your into 80's cheese , it starts out slow but really picks up the pace in the second half. Dumb but fun , check it out if you can.


THE DEVILS BRIDE aka THE DEVIL RIDES OUT (1968) This Hammer production is one of my favorite films of the 1960's. Christopher Lee , in one of his few roles as a hero plays a man who's Friend Simon has joined a satanic cult and plans to be baptised in the name of the dark lord. Lee with the help of 2 other Friends are on a mission to stop the ceremony and must overcome satanic obstacles along the way. This film adaption of Dennis Wheatlys novel "THE DEVIL RIDES OUT" is an absolutely wonderful atmospheric horror movie that is a must see for HAMMER fans, the screenplay is written by the great Richard Matheson. Highly recommended.


SWAMP OF THE RAVENS(1974) The swamp in the title is where mad DR. Frosta dumps bodies after he is finished conducting re-animation and mind control experiments, the only problem is they are now the undead and are ready to rise and fight with with the Doc. Made by the same people who brought us "VOODOO BLACK EXORCIST" , this all but forgotten B - movie is at times incoherent but is still worth seeking out if your into 1970's drive in movie horrors. On a double bill DVD with "THE THIRSTY DEAD" from SOMETHING WEIRD VIDEO.


HORROR HOUSE ON HIGHWAY 5(1985) WOW!! Amazing! Amazing that someone would actually film crud like this and release it! I'm usually a fan of bad cinema , the so bad its good type of thing , but my goodness , you have to draw the line somewhere.
I would try to explain this thing to you but i cant , nothing here makes sense at all , no continuity to speak of , just a bunch of scenes filmed and edited together without any common ground between them,this must have been made by a schizophrenic. I cant find the right words to describe it, this is beyond bad.


A KNIFE FOR THE LADIES (1974) aka JACK THE RIPPER GOES WEST.
A psycho with a kinfe is on the lose killing women. Nothing new there but props to the makers for trying something a little different here. What sets this one apart from others is that its a mix of the horror and western genres. Its actually pretty enjoyable movie but works better as a western than a horror film. It kinda reminds me a little of tv shows like GUNSMOKE or the like with a few mildly bloody knife killings. Enjoyable.


SPOOKED:THE GHOSTS OF WAVERLY HILLS SANATORIUM(2006) A SCI-FI channel made for TV documentary about a haunted T.B hospital outside of Louisville ,Kentucky. This is very enjoyable but the scariest parts of the movie are not the evp's and ghost photos presented as evidence but the historians talking about the history and treatment of the patients at the hospital. If your into TV shows such as GHOST HUNTERS and PARANORMAL STATE you'll probably enjoy this. Recommended.


BLACK ROSES(1988) Heavy metal band Black Roses decide to start their world tour with a series of concerts in the small town of Mill Basin , the only problem is the band is really a group of demons who are there to possess the local youth and intice them to do evil deeds in attempt to litterily create a hell on earth. This was released during the era of the PMRC and when the conservitive government of the 80's were creating a huge aproar about rock music corrupting the youth of America , this is a fun response to just how silly all of it was. Filled with cheesy 80's goodness and a decent hair metal soundtrack.


THE LAUGHING DEAD(1989) A priest who is losing his faith takes a busload of people to Mexico to study" the festival of the dead" , an Aztec god of death starts sacrificing people and the priest gets possessed then the blood start to flow. This starts out as a serious horror film then deteriorates into a stupid slapstick comedy/horror hybrid then gets serious again. If they would remove the comedy parts this would be a good gore fim otherwise its only a fair , mixed bag at best.

THE UNBORN(2009) Casey is a young lady who is being haunted by visions of a creepy boy who seems to be stalking her, as the story unfolds we find out this ghost has been haunting her family for 2 generations and was responsible for the death of her twin brother while they were still in the womb, and also the death of her mother , she seeks the help of a rabbi to help stop the curse before it kills her. This is a movie with a good premise but failed execution , its a supernatural thriller based on Jewish mysticism , the visual scares ( or what try to be scares) seem to be heavily influenced by Japanese horror such as THE RING and THE GRUDGE , a style I'm sick of and never found to be scary , its also filled with attempts at jump scares that don't work, pretty tame stuff , not much to offer. The ending leaves it open for a sequel, lets hope it never gets made.

THE STRANGERS(2008) Wow! I wasn't expecting much from this but was pleasantly surprised, this is an effectively grim, well-made horror film. A couple go to a secluded vacation home after attending a wedding and are terrorized by three strangers throughout the night, the visits become increasingly violent and disturbing with each encounter until the movie concludes with its grim ending. Terrifying stuff , the antagonists are so callous , cold and calculating its truly unsettling , and the fact that this kind of stuff can really happen makes it even more effective. Highly recommended.

THE PUMPKIN KARVER(2006) Jonathan and his sister, Lynn, move to a new town to start a new life after Johnathan killed his sister's boyfriend accidentally in a Halloween prank gone wrong . They attend a Halloween party a year later but it seems that the man Johnathan killed has come back from the dead to get revenge and proceeds to kill Johnathan and Lynn's friends and carves up their faces to resemble jack o lanterns. The makers of this movie seem to be trying to make some kind of 80's style slasher homage , but this is filled with obnoxious characters , bad acting and cheap fx , while not terrible , it ultimately fails.


BOY EATS GIRL(2005) In the wake of SHAUN OF THE DEAD there has been a glut of zombie comedies and this is just one of many. Nathan is a high school student who kills himself and his mother brings him back to life via a voodoo ritual not realizing it turns him into a flesh craving zombie. After he is resurrected he doesn't realize what has happened to him,he gets in a fight with a school bully ,bites him and unwittingly sets off a zombie outbreak . While not great by any means this is fun to watch with some good gore effects , the comedy bits do not work very well but the teenage love story parts do , so its kind of a mixed bag.


DRIVE THRU (2007) D.U.M.B -stupid , this movie is an utterly ridiculous horror/ comedy that is neither funny or horrifying , the gore is crappy and the jokes are sub-sophomoric, whoever decided to green light this thing must have been high. In the town of CARNE BLANCA (Spanish for WHITE MEAT for those who don't speak the language) , Horny the clown,the mascot for a popular fast food chain named HELLA BURGER, is on a killing spree carving up the local teens with his axe from hell. The reason for the killing is lifted right out of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET , a supernatural killer stalking the offspring of the people who set him on fire , Horny (god that's horrible) even spouts off dumb one liners just like FREDDY KRUEGER . Terrible ,avoid at all cost.

SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD(2010) George Romero's latest entry in his living dead films , while not great is still a very enjoyable movie , an opinion it seems i don't share with very many others as this has been getting terrible reviews. Out of the last 3 films in the series , i like it better than LAND... but not as much as DIARY..... . Like most Romero films its filled with social commentary and plenty of gore , unlike most of his films he tries to inject lots of humor, the reason i believe so many were disappointed with this. As far as timeline goes this takes place right after DIARY.. but before LAND... , the story concerns a group of soldiers who desert their unit and escape to an island where the inhabitants are divided among those who want to kill the zombies and those who want to train them. Not his best but still worth a watch.

CREEP(2004) Franka Potente ( Run Lola run , Anatomy, the Bourne identity) stars as a business woman who falls asleep in the London subway while awaiting her train , when she awakens she finds she has been locked in ,while trying to find a way out she is stalked by a mutant killer who lives in the tunnels. While flawed , mainly because Potentes character is an extremely unlikable person and you really don't care if she lives or not and the fact that the motivation of the killer is never made clear , this is still a fairly enjoyable slasher/gore film. This one reminds me alot of the 1972 film RAW MEAT. Nothing great but worth a watch if your a horror completest like me and feel like you need to watch everything.

HOBOKEN HOLLOW(2005) Its all here torture , gore, rape and cannibalism , in this" Texas Chainsaw "style low budgeter . After being offered jobs as ranch hands ,homeless drifters are in for the fight of their lives battling the brutal Broderick family at Hoboken Hollow, a remote West Texas ranch . If the workers try to escape they are hunted down and when caught they are tortured , hung and made into human jerky, yum!!. This ones got a couple of brutal moments made more disturbing knowing this was based partially on a true story( it really was , i researched it and found news paper articles and court records , pretty sick stuff) . The great B movie cast makes this more watchable than it probably would be otherwise , Dennis Hopper , Michael Madsen ,Greg Evagan , C. Thomas Howell, Lin Shaye and Robert Carridine all make appearances in this silly but fun film.

FEAR ASYLUM A.K.A ROOM 33 (2009) A roller derby team , along with a couple they picked up , are stranded and must spend the night in an abandoned asylum. They soon find out there are horrible supernatural things afoot and they struggle to stay alive through the night. This one starts out pretty good but soon grinds to a screeching halt with long drawn out scenes of the characters walking the halls of the asylum trying to figure out whats going on and yelling and cursing at each other and not much else, pretty boring. The villain is not scary at all and other than he was a doctor that once worked there and was killed we never find out how he has returned as some kind of supernatural demon. So unless you need to learn some new insults or curse words there is no need to watch.

TAMARA (2006) This plays out extremely similar to the Japanese film "Tomie", it is about a girl who is seen as a loser by her classmates and is picked on constantly and they joke that she’s a witch ( she is) .When some of the kids at school decide to pull a prank on her , she is led to a hotel room and embarrassed , she freaks out and during a struggle Tamara is killed and buried in the forest. Like in many other films , she comes back from the dead with supernatural powers and kills the kids responsable. Not bad but this was obviously made for the younger crowd and seems rather juvinile to my old ass. Fun but flawed.

MY BLOODY VALENTINE (2009)

After a mining accident crazed miner Harry Warden embarks on a killing spree that leaves 22 people dead , he is shot and presumed dead but a decade later it seems that Harry has returned to finish what he started. I was never a huge fan of the 1981 film of the same name and this remake is junk , I'm not one who gets offended easily but parts of this movie are down right vulgar and pointless. The filmmakers attempts to keep you guessing who the killer really is are also pointless because its obvious where this is heading from the start. Most of the characters are so despicable you could care less if they live or die, the lone saving grace here is that the gore is fairly impressive, save for one really bad cgi effect towards the beginning of the film.

WILLARD (2003)
Another remake but this one is pretty good, it actually came towards the beginning of the remake craze and along with "THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE" remake this is one of the better of the bunch.Willard is an awkward young man ostracized by the world around him. His gloomy existence takes a turn though, when he discovers that his connection with a pet rat has gained him acceptance among rodents, soon thereafter Willard begins to get revenge using his new found army of vermin on the people who have done him wrong. This is a delightfully demented film with with the darkest of dark humor overtones that has a Tim Burton type feel to it and Crispen Glover is pretty damn close to perfect in the role of Willard, recommended.

THE REAPING(2007)
Hillary Swank plays a former Christian minister who has lost her faith and now specializes in debunking religious phenomena, she sets out to investigates a small town named Haven deep in the bayous of Louisiana which seems to be suffering from the 10 biblical plagues which started after the mysterious death of a child , apparently at the hands of a satanic cult.
This movie is at times silly but its still fun to watch , much better than i was expecting, my only complaint is that it all kind of falls apart in the last 15 min. or so and the hokey attempt at a twist ending and then when you think its over another attempted twist/shock right before the credits roll.

CAVE OF THE LIVING DEAD(1964)

This is a DVD i had owned for close to a year before i watched it and when i finally did i wished i had done it earlier, this is a good atmospheric German horror flick worth seeking out if you have not seen it . I also realized that i had watched this before under the name "NIGHT OF THE VAMPIRES" many years ago .When 7 young women in a small European village mysteriously die , Inspector Frank Dorin is sent to investigate. The town doctor claims the deaths are from natural causes, a fact that is hard for alot of the locals to swallow being that the girls were so young, and also at the time of the deaths there is always a blackout in the village . Their suspicions prove to be correct when they realize that they are plagued by a cave full of blood sucking vampires. Now, Dorin must stop them before more bodies pile up. Fun stuff that i highly recommend for you 60's / 70's Euro- horror fans.

HAUNTING OF WINCHESTER HOUSE(2009)
A family become the caretakers of the Winchester mansion , speculated to be one of the most haunted houses in America. They soon find out for themselves that the stories are true when the couples daughter is kidnapped by the spirits that inhabit the place . With the help of a paranormal investigator they'll try to unravel the mystery of the house and find their missing daughter. This unknown low budgeter actually ain't half bad . At the end they attempt one of those crazy twist endings that is so popular these days , it almost works too, you don't really see it coming but the pay-off just isn't that great. Good movie , so-so ending.

RED HOOK(2009)

A few years after young Jenny Traylor witnesses the murder of her older sister, she is off to NYC to begin college . During her first week she joins in a welcome week scavenger hunt that turns into a game of survival for her and her friends. "A chilling thrill ride"is what it says on the DVD cover, a boring broken down jalopy is more like it.This comes across like something that might have been made to air on MTV , full of young not so good actors , really bad attempts at John Mayer style love songs sang by a female , and not much else. Except for the opening 2 min. it is nearly 50 min. into this thing before anything that remotely resembles a horror movie happens, and even though it claims to be the unrated edition this is fairly tame stuff.Not much to offer here folks. Avoid.

PARANORMAL ENTITY(2009)
Sounds like an attempt to cash in on the success of "PARANORMAL ACTIVITY" you say? Yes it is, THE ASYLUM ,the company that produced this one , that's what they do, they take popular movies and put there own twist on them. Now i must admit for the most part i found myself enjoying this as much, if not more than P.A. In this one Thomas Finley is arrested for the rape and murder of his younger sister and the murder of a paranormal investigator. Days later he commits suicide. Later video tapes are discovered that reveal what really happened , the family were under attack by a demonic entity. Much like BLAIR WITCH at the time of its release the producers tried to make it seem like this was real crime scene footage, well we all know that's not true, but the truth is , this is an enjoyable little ghost story.

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET(2010)
Here we go again, Another remake, this is getting out of hand! Despite that fact and despite all of the negative stuff I've heard about this , i enjoyed this one. I assume most of you know the story so i wont go into details , ill just give my opinion .Unlike the FRIDAY THE 13th series ,which i absolutely love the 1st four films of , i was never a big fan of the N.O.E.S series , i liked it but never loved it, so without as much emotional investment ,the re-imagining of the character didn't bug me as much, to tell you the truth, and i know some people will say this is downright blasphemous , i found this version of Freddy to be more frightening , even more depraved and sadistic than the original. The other characters were well developed and likable, usually a big problem i have with with modern horror is that they are not. The makers of the film didn't stray too far from the original source , they maybe tweaked a few things here and there but overall it sticks to the original tale, so much so i don't understand all the negativity towards this, in my opinion if you liked that story should you like this one . Don't get me wrong this isn't any thing great but like i said i didn't think the original was either but they are both decent and worth a watch. Give it a try , you might be surprised.
