This flick takes a somewhat used-up plot and really breathes some life into it, giving us a pretty interesting and enjoyable final product. While the biggest problem is the ending, which didn't really make much sense, it's still a film I'd recommend giving at least one go, because I thought that this stood out well.

What did you think of House of Purgatory?

Indeed. I've long heard of the film, and finally broke down one night when my roommate suggested we watch it. I mean, I didn't want to see it, but at least I didn't have to go through it alone.

And I can't even imagine wanting to see the sequel. 

I will admit, I sort of tried so find the most glaring examples of how bad the film could get. 

There are certainly some shocking scenes within this film, some moderately hard to watch, but given that this movie is almost purely three Neo-Nazis tormenting a family, there's not that much story here. Also, the ending annoyed the hell out of me. For a found footage, it's pretty okay, but I can't imagine wanting to see this a second time.

Atrocious CGI dinosaurs and blood combined with terrible actors is what you'll get should you watch this film. In some ways, it certainly can be fun to turn off your mind and just sit back and bask in it's atrocity, but I'd not really recommend it.

One of the earliest-surviving talki horror films, The Bat Whispers stands up extraordinarily well. From multiple suspicious parties to fantastic camera angles to plenty of fun characters, there's very little this old dark house film gets wrong. A classic of the 1930's, this film is highly recommended, if you can find a good copy.

This flick has a certain charm to it, but it's not really all that memorable a movie. It's sort of grown on me in recent times, but despite that, you can certainly tell this movie possesses failed potential. The ending, which brings some things together, is sort of meh, but really, this movie's far more mediocre than it is bad, and might be worth at least one view.

What did you think of this British flick?

Green Room is a pretty thrilling film with a rather intense plot. Patrick Stewart does well in his role, and we get plenty of gory scenes throughout. That all said, I couldn't shake the feeling that this film wouldn't be all that memorable, so while it's a good film, it's around average and not much more.

What did you think of Green Room?

That stupid scene with the phone bleeding and the ending with the main character washing her face off with saliva instead of THE RAIN OUTSIDE THE FUCKING CAR are two scenes that prove how terribly shitty this film is.

At least, like I said, the main actress was hot as fuck.

Though often considered a poor man's Tarantula (1955), I think that this flick has a lot of heart, and despite some of the failures in special effects (those webs look a lot like ropes, truth be told), I've always gotten a kick out of this film, no matter how many times I've seen it.

What did you think of this late 50's creature feature?

Despite a solid twist at the end, for the most part, The Harvesting is a dull and oft-told tale that brought almost no real portions of interest. I'd say it was a slow-burn, but the ending, as much as I liked it, didn't justify sitting through the first hour. Maybe worth one view, but certainly not worth buying.

What do you think the Harvesting reaps?

From atrocious acting to terribly dull, over-long scenes, not to mention some of the worst computer-generation you've ever seen, Birdemic is as horrible a movie as people generally say it is. Watch it in a party environment, and you'll have fun. But it's certainly a far cry from being anywhere near good.

How do you feel about this cult classic?

In many ways, this film feels incomplete. The theme of guilt they were trying to push onto the audience never really got connected to the characters, even toward the end. Instead of explaining to us some very much need-to-know information, the final scene just brings more questions to mind. A few of the actors did fine, but it wasn't enough to pull this film out from it's senseless workings. Probably good for one view, at least.

What did you feel regarding this mid-2000's horror film?

Despite it's short run-time, it's over-abundance of characters, and lower budget, The Amityville Legacy still comes across as, while not a fun time, a decently done film. The concept alone of a father killing his children and their loved ones is bad enough, but to see it methodically play out near the end? Well, this movie didn't have that big a budget, but it did have the suspense. Not an amazing movie, but certainly one worth seeing.

What did you think about this flick?

With a great setting, a plethora of potential suspects, fun chase scenes, and an almost slasher-like mentality, The Last Warning is one of my favorite silent horror films. It doesn't possess the same prestige as many others, and generally, I've not heard even other fans of silent films praise it, making it all the more a treat if you decide to jump in and give it a chance.

Have you any thoughts on Paul Leni's last addition to the genre?
