Carrie is one of my favourite films which contains a nightmarish finale with hair-raising scares.

What are your thoughts on this film?

I agree with everything you've said. Though the cash-grab aspect of it doesn't affect my opinion of this movie as much as it does for you because technically a lot of 80's horror, including sequels, were cashing in on the success of earlier movies.

I was teetering between a 6-7 out of 10 for it and decided to edge it to a 7 just because the ending is pretty good but the majority of the movie isn't all that great aside from Savini's kill effects.

I understand that the original Friday The 13th is a staple on the slasher genre but I've never particularly found it to be special enough to call it a great movie.

What do you think of it?

Laid To Rest understands its demographic well for a slasher movie of its era. It's a fast-paced adrenaline ride of terror with extremely violent kill sequences.

What do you think of this movie?

Orphan is a well-acted, slow-burning thriller which carefully and meticulously builds itself up to a pretty decent plot twist.

Did you like it?

Killer Klowns From Outer Space is a silly but moderately entertaining B-movie.

Do you like it?

I've enabled the option to use the 'core' theme, which is pretty much what you're looking for. If you go to your profile and click on 'look & layout', you should have the option to change the theme you're in.

Because I've designed everything around this default theme, the core theme will essentially look like a newly installed forum in terms of appearance. At some point down the track I may spend some time on prettying it up.

I currently only have it setup as the way it is seen now. I'm sure I could add an alternative but I'd probably need a little bit of time to sort it out.

Rawhead Rex is not really a good movie by normal standards. However, like many bad movies, it has gained somewhat of a cult following since it was panned pretty hard back in the 80's to the point where even its own writer, Clive Barker, had disowned it.

What do you think of it?

If you've ever wanted to see what the Tong Po character from the Kickboxer series would look like as a good guy instead of a bad guy, Extreme Force is as close as you can come.

What have you got to say about this movie?

Tourist Trap blends in well with the wave of slasher films from the late 70's through to the 80's.

Did you enjoy this movie?

From Beyond pushes boundaries with its bounty of visual effects. Did you like it?

I never thought it would be possible in this day and age for a movie to come along and get a perfect score from myself, especially since it's essentially a remake of an original that I hold near and dear to my heart, but this movie has managed to do it.

What did you think of this updated adaptation of Stephen King's IT?

Near Dark is a very different kind of vampire movie. There's no bats, garlic, crosses or stakes to be seen in this one.

What did you think of it?

Maniac Cop 2 is a favourite of mine. I think it is definitely as good as the original. I think the shootout in the police station toward the end had to be cut a lot because it was originally too violent. Cordell's more zombified appearance is also an improvement over his look in the original.
