I didn't know that about Elise potentially coming back. Seems a great choice to me, because she was, as aforementioned, totally badass.

Glad she's still around, even if it is just giving recipes. Makes since she may not act as much, because after her performance here, what could she do to top it?

Still, shame she didn't start acting a bit earlier, because she would have been a treat had she been a scream queen in 80's slashers.

This movie, which I just finished, pisses me off something awful.

I can't stand Chop Top - any scene he was in, I just wanted to lower the score another .5. The tone wasn't anything I could even pretend to like, and it was just a mess.

I don't even know why I spent five bucks to get this on DVD, to be honest, when the original, third, and 2003 remake are all better than this tripe.

Spoilers: I rather dislike this movie.

A fantastically suspenseful flick, Hush takes a slightly difference approach to the home invasion subgenre of horror with a deaf protagonist. Great acting and good gore make this a newer horror flick that is well-worth seeking out.

Love is a strong word.... 

While historic as the first ever anthology horror flick, Unheimliche Geschichten alas contains four very average stories and one pretty enjoyable one. There's elements to most stories that are enjoyable, but on the whole, it's not an amazing movie. Probably worth seeing for what it represents as opposed to anything else.

While lacking the body count I feel would be more appropriate for a slasher, Mortuary handles the script with a lot of suspense and class. Some overacting aside, the cast and the suspense certainly make this a movie worth watching, especially if you're a slasher fan.

Have you seen this slasher flick?

I've seen this plenty of times before (one of the movies I saw while growing up, so the exact number eludes me), but boy, when I re-watched it today, I was blown away by how solid it actually is.

I gave both the first movie and this one the same rating (an 8.5/10), but honestly, I probably like this one a bit more. Not enough to throw it up to a solid 9/10, but both of these movies are exceedingly solid.

Christine Elise (Kyle) really stood out, and I would think that she should pop up in a later movie, because she was badass here.

By-and-large lacking the dreamy and atmospheric vibe the original movie had in spades, Phantasm II instead goes an action road trip route, which is still a lot of fun. Great special effects and a solid, more cohesive, story makes this flick a solid watch, despite not being entirely on par with the original.

What say you on this sequel to the classic cult flick?

Disappointingly slow and lacking suspense throughout most of it's short running time, Die Augen der Mumie Ma is one of Germany's few missteps when it comes to the contributions to the horror genre that they dominated from 1914 to 1924 or so. Aside from a solid final five minutes, this movie is almost bound to disappoint most going in for a thrilling time.

I saw this once back in 2014 or so, and I'm rather eager to rewatch it later this month. I honestly don't remember a ton about it aside from that suspenseful as fuck dinner sequence.

Despite the extremely solid performance from the two kids in this movie, The Visit ends up just around average, due to an over-reliance of jump scares and a somewhat unimaginative finale.

What did you think of this found-footage movie?

Unnecessarily dry and plodding, this rehash of 1932's The Mummy is about as unexciting as a movie can possibly be. From the constant narration to the excruciatingly tedious pacing, Curse of the Faceless Man is one of the flops of the late 50's, an otherwise solid time for the horror genre.

What say you on this fifties' fright flick?

While the final one-third of the flick fails to live up to the build-up, The Autopsy of Jane Doe is a mostly well-done and claustrophobic movie, and I certainly recommend it to anyone interested in checking out newer horror.

Pray tell, what did you think of The Autopsy of Jane Doe?

This is a hard movie to enjoy unless you watch it in a party environment, going in knowing how terrible it is. Watching solo, Killjoy has little I recommend. It still can be a hoot, though.

Coming to us from before the Russian Revolution and the formation of the USSR, Pikovaya dama (The Queen of Spades) certainly has some positive features that unfortunately get drowned out by the lack of horror elements, which pop up a bit too late into the film.

What did you think of this Russian silent?
