WEEK ONE (Sept 28-Oct 4): FEARFUL FORESTS
The short of this review is that Without Warning is good, clean B-movie fun. It's not particularly ambitious, and it certainly doesn't try to hide its distinctly lo-fi approach to the effects, but it's exactly what you want it to be, and it doesn't waste time getting to the good stuff. I could almost end review there, but I do want to call out some of my favorite aspects of the film.
First, and most importantly, it's a cast that features Jack Palance and Martin Landau in leading roles, supported by the likes of Cameron Mitchell, Larry Storch, and Neville Brand. To say that the film becomes a competition for the biggest ham this side of HoneyBaked would be the understatement of the century, and I found myself laughing along with the lengths these fine actors went to in order to devour more scenery. While the latter three are little more than one-scene wonders (and Brand is surprisingly restrained, but anything would be after the likes of Eaten Alive), they clearly having a lot of fun with the little time they get. But man, you almost don't even need an alien game hunter that throws toothy frisbees in this film just because of the heights that Landau and Palance managed to reach with their performances. Landau's Sarge is a bit like what would happen if a conspiracy theorist had all of his fears confirmed all at once, and Landau plays it to the hilt and possibly beyond. While not nearly as consistently crazy, Palance's Taylor is not one to be upstaged so easily, as soon his hunter's instincts finally give way to that classic Palance alliteration, where every syllable is the most important one in the world at that moment, culminating in an already good finale being elevated even higher when Palance shouts out the word "alien" repeatedly, and it's every bit as wonderful as you could imagine it to be.
Next, the ever-talented Dean Cundy puts in good work to make the film look a lot better than it probably has any right to be. While it's certainly not nearly as polished as the work he had done with John Carpenter up to that point, Cundy manages to make a lot out of a little, with some good framing that helps make the film look a bit more expensive than its tiny budget would have normally had allowed for. In particular, he does a great job of lighting the alien itself, who is shown just once in full light (for a rather effective shot), and manages to bathe it in just enough darkness in the final scenes to accentuate the sinister qualities of its appearance.
Finally, the alien itself is just really cool. While not terribly intricate, the makeup team did great work of taking a familiar concept and doing just enough work on it to keep it familiar and changing just enough to make it a hell of a lot creepier. A lot of props also goes out to Keven Peter Hall, who is much better known for another alien game hunter, for commanding a great physical presence that the alien needed. He does more standing still than a hundred other Alien knock-offs could ever achieve.
It's not a masterpiece, but it's smart enough to not try to be one. It's goofy from beginning to end, and I couldn't be happier with that outcome.

Film 3: Eyes Without A Face (1960)
Method of viewing: Hulu Plus
Going along on my list of "scary" films in the CC, this was another first watch for me and it was an interesting film to say the least. I was not surprised or shocked by stuff that happened in this film and honestly it was pretty tame. I was expecting something more but I also get that it was over 50 years ago. The things that the film had going for it was atmosphere, the film in b&w adds to that, and the music adds to the creepy factor. This film is recommended.
It's certainly not what we would call scary by today's standards (though keep in mind this came out the same year Psycho was making people faint in theaters), but it's an absolutely breathtaking film and one of my all-time favorites. It also has one of the best final shots of all time.

Been looking forward to seeing this since it was announced and plan on going to the theater later today to see it.
Saw this a few weeks back and to be honest I was a bit disappointed by it
I second that, of the Ginger Snaps sequels watch Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed and avoid Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning aka Ginger Snaps 3.

Water is not wet!
Just finished watching The Contraption. i remember first seeing this on USA after Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Still wonderfully creepy.
Maybe someone might know the name of this horror short that also was played on USA.. Its about a fisherman who heads out to a secluded lake. His lunch gets ruined but sees a shiny apple sitting on a rock just off the shore. After taking a bite he is hooked and reeled into the lake. It ends with another apple being thrown out onto the shore. Any ideas?

There is a very cool cameo/homage to this film in the recent mind-fuck film "Holy Motors"

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. If you have watched a lot of horror you will really appreciate it. Clever in the same vein as Cabin in the Woods.
4. The Poughkeepsie Tapes (youtube)
A fake documentary about a serial killer, it splices together footage that the killer took himself with the interviews of investigators and family/friends. The acting isn't great, but it's got a lot of fucked up scenes so it balances out. The pair of scenes with
are particularly notable to me, since you know it's going to get bad, but it was pretty intense to watch it go down.
I never realized it was never actually shown theatrically or officially released except on a VOD for a bit, since I've known the name for years and remember seeing commercials on tv. That's pretty crazy considering it was supposed to release in 2007.

5. The Blob (Criterion Collection)
I don't think I'd ever seen this all the way through or more than a few minutes even. So far this has been my favorite.
No real terror but seeing Steve McQueen save the day was a good time. It also strikes me that he looks a lot like Brodie from Homeland.

3. Silent Night, Zombie Night
4. White Zombie

#2 - Sleepaway Camp (1983)
Decent horror slasher, but imo not a very good one outside of the ending.
the sequel is worse (better?) than the original. i honestly don't know. there's more boobs, more violence, slightly less WTFuckery. it's a good trashy 80s slasher where it's obvious nobody making the film gave an absolute shit.

Major disappointment. I'm really suprised this got such high reviews. I honestly enjoyed As Above So Below more over this one. It had a pretty good idea going for it by spoofing a ghost hunters type show but it all just felt so predictable and cliche. Films like this give the found footage genre a bad rep.

I like the first one but Grave Encounters 2 is by far one of the worst movies I've seen. I hated everything about it.
I've read there's two more spin-offs in the works, along with The Conjuring 2. Don't care how made up these stories are- I'm all in.

This one held up pretty well for me. It isn't anywhere near as good as the original but it's better than 80% of the sequels to the big slasher franchises. Really loved some of the shots (the picture above for example) in this film. The soundtrack is also fantastic.

Love the film, but do you have any source for this? I don't think I've made that many shocking revelations about any other person. "Whoa, this is a great portrayal of Jewish people and their plight in pre-WWII Germany, what an awesome director." to "Wait a minute! He went on from making this to making Nazi propaganda pieces! What a shit!" to "Wait a minute, that was just the public image. In secret, he aided resistance groups! What a hero!" to "Wait a minute, the only source I can find for that is a line on Wikipedia without citation and all other sources I find lead back to Wikipedia, most with the same wording". Now I'm not sure what to think!

#1 White Zombie (1932) (October 1)
#2 Zombie Strippers (2008) (October 2 - 3)
Exactly what it says on the tin!
I barely knew anything about it and my expectations weren't high. Well, it was pretty fun! The strip club owner being a familiar face was a pleasant surprise.
And it's, like, deep and stuff.

Yeah the tacked on psychological stuff was terrible.
2/31: The Sacrament
Big fan of Ti West (House of the Devil in particular), but this was much weaker than his earlier offerings. More of a found footage docu than actual horror. Gene Jones does a great job as Father though. 2.5/5

The trilogy and Captain Kronos are on my list for week three ("Other Vampires") of my Hammer theme this year, along with Brides of Dracula, Kiss of Evil and Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires... As for the Karnstein trilogy, imo Lovers is very good and Twins of Evil is arguably the best of the three, but Lust is a pretty clumsy - even embarrassing - effort, though it's nearly redeemed by the presence of Yutte Stensgaard despite her generally poor acting abilities...
I really enjoyed the direct sequel, and thought Snaps Back was okay fun; though clearly not as good as the first two films, I think it has some redeeming qualities and is worth a watch if you enjoyed the sisters and their dynamic in the first two films, as it essentially just transplants them into an early 19th Century trading post in the Canadian North.
I love this movie. I think it's achingly beautiful...

1. Lifeforce (Blu-Ray)
2. Sleepaway Camp (Blu-Ray)
Some scenes dragged a bit (like the softball game? ugh) and I started to suspect what was really going on mid-way through the film but the ending was still pretty shocking!

-Here's another movie I hadn't seen until this year (which isn't too surprising, considering it came out the year I was born, haha) that still managed to impress me.

I am already way behind. Does Zodiac count as a horror movie? I was planning on watching it for the first time this weekend.

Sleepaway Camp seems to be very popular this year.

While it was no masterpiece, I enjoyed it. It was definitely different and the effects were cool. You could tell it was low budget being the fact that the film took place in only two locations.
I want to see this, but I unfortunately was spoiled by the
twist ending in the film.
It is newly released on blu-ray IIRC and two years ago a lot of people watched it. So much fun.
Check out Re-Animator if you are looking for something similar (and better*)
*popular opinion, I personally liked both
3. VHS
I really liked the first story, but it became apparent that each one afterwards was relying on gore & nudity without really trying to one up the ones prior in atmosphere. However the last story did not rely on any of that, yet I still found it to be the weakest. Besides that the effects in some of the stories were cheap which makes me wonder why they didn't just forgo them. Still it was somewhat enjoyable, no idea if I'll watch the 2nd one.

John Dunbar
correct about everything
6. Brain Damage: I expected something silly (in a good way) since the same guy made Basket Case, and Elmer's voice and appearance exceeded all expectations and made this something special. That blowjob scene was quite something. Very fun movie.
7. The Others: The best one yet (though Rocky Horror is the most fun and rewatchable). Good ghost story with excellent atmosphere. This was also the most effective horror movie thus far and was actually really creepy at times. Spoiler warning:
I also think Nicole Kidman gives one of the best performances I've seen in a horror movie, though to be fair she does have a lot more to work with than most horror movie heroes/heroines.
7. The Others: The best one yet (though Rocky Horror is the most fun and rewatchable). Good ghost story with excellent atmosphere. This was also the most effective horror movie thus far and was actually really creepy at times. Spoiler warning:
I was familiar with the twist, and as such some of the effect of the movie was diminished, but it also made it fun to spot all the hints. I don't think I would have seen it coming if I had not seen the last 10 or so minutes on TV about a decade ago (the servants bit I think I would have guessed, but not the rest). I'm also scared of old ladies in horror movies, and this had two so maybe that's why it worked so well for me.
I think the most ridiculous one in terms of T&A is Phase I Clinical Trials in V/H/S/2. Not because it's more revealing than other instances, but the context made me roll my eyes into the back of my skull.

I loved the others. Interested in Brain Damage now.
Does it get better in terms of atmosphere or do they just reup the gore & nudity?
It's mostly more of the same, but Safe Haven is probably the best short from either film. That's not to say it's amazing, but it's a step up.

3. The Cabin In The Woods
This is technically my first slasher, but I'm familiar with the tropes of good and bad movies thanks to parodies, the horror video reviewers Phelous and The Cinema Snob, and TV Tropes. When it comes to this movie, it's my understanding that people want viewers to go in as blind as possible, so I'm marking everything as spoilers here.
I'm recommending this movie too.

I didn't know a whole lot coming except how meta this all was and the surveillance system, which is supposed to be a spoiler, but is revealed in the very first scene. It becomes clear this is all being engineered. The deaths and gore are good, and the ending actually surprised me. Yet it raises some questions. Why is there a button that releases all the monsters (and it's a coincidence that Dana and Marty just happened to be by it)? How did people learn about these ancient gods that needed sacrifices of specific types? How is it that all 5 archetypes got to the same cabin? Was that engineered too?

A Nightmare On Elm Street
Went to the original for the first time not really knowing much about the series. Not bad. The blood coming out of the bed was pretty nuts. I liked it.

Doing this for the first time this year, due to assignments and exam only managing to do about 1-film a day, so far I've watched.
#1 - Opera (1987, Dir: Dario Argento) **** 1/2
This is the third film I've seen by Dario Argento (Suspiria and Phenomena are my other two) and man was this fucking awesome wasn't it, the direction and camera-work is out of this world, the use of music, and it's overall just a damn fun and intense film to watch, looking forward to checking out some more of his work in the coming weeks
#2 - The Driller Killer (1979, Dir: Abel Ferrara) *** 1/2
This wasn't bad, kind of reminded me of a low-budget taxi driver, they are some scenes like the music concert scene that evoke a really awesome atmosphere that captures the mood of underclass america, my biggest disappointment with the film is the killing scenes were a tad less brutal than I expected, and I kind of expected more from a film called The Driller Killer in a sense!
#3 - Tetsuo: the Iron Man (1989, Dir: Shinya Tsukamoto) ****
Loved every minute of this. Felt like I was watching a awesome lovechild of Cronenberg and Lynch who happen to be two of my favourite directors. It was also supremely fucked up and the low-budget that utilised to great effect, having strong elements of surrealism in addition to the terrifying gore and body horror.

Film 4 Blood Glacier (Amazon Instant Video UK)
Set amongst scientists, dogs, snow and mutation in the Austrian alps, Blood Glacier is a lot like The Thing, with a few chest-bursting face-hugging Alien moments thrown in for good measure. Its nowhere near the calibre of either of those two classics however. For a start, the creature effects are risibly bad I mean genuinely laugh out loud bad at one point - and practically none of the characters are appealing.
Having said that, I did still like the film, but I think that was mainly down to the unintentional comedy, not the horror. Its quite well acted too, with Brigitte Kren doing an excellent Angela Merkel impression, despite battling against such gems as that banana line. And the version I watched had subtitles instead of rubbish dubbing, so that was a relief.
Verdict: We ignore climate change at our peril. Its probably safe to ignore this film though.

#3 Insidious: Chapter 2
I should have known better. The first one didn't exactly light my pants on fire and this was mostly more of the same but less... novel? Inspired? I don't know what but there weren't any twists or surprises or even any scares really that the first movie didn't already cover. Followed a little too closely in its footsteps, I suppose. There was one clever idea that tied the main character back into a series of events that happened in the first movie but that doesn't save this from an overall feeling of not needing to be made. Flipping the 3rd act of the first movie into a
sequence was laughable. 2/5
#4 Sinister
After the last three movies I appreciated that this blended suspense with horror a little more evenly. Unfortunately, the intermittent scares were almost all of the jump variety, frequently accompanied by a loud noise or music sting instead of being the result of actual dread. While the side characters felt a little one-dimensional, Ethan Hawke did a good job with what he was given and I enjoyed the ride even if the ending was a little obvious and on the nose. 3/5

Haven't had much time to write up reviews so these will be short.
October 2nd - In The Mouth of Madness
I'm surprised I had never heard of this movie until a few weeks ago when it was recommended to me. Sam Neill is one of my favourite actors and Alan Wake one of my favourite games and this puts the two of them together. It does a few weird things though and never really reveals what the evil really is, and the ending is pretty weak but other than that it was a really enjoyable little romp into a world where a horror novel is coming true.
4/5
October 3rd - I Know What You Did Last Summer
I was hesitant on this because I read a couple reviews and saw some really negative things but this was huge when I was around 6 when it came out and somehow I never got round to seeing it. Now I'm kinda glad it took me this long, it's straight up terrible. An extremely cliche by the numbers 90s slasher that tries to be different by having a convoluted whodunnit story running in the background but fails miserably. They tried to salvage it by throwing some at the time famous young actors into the mix but it doesn't work, I'm sure Freddie Prinz Jr. realises how terrible this is because the whole movie he had a bad smell look on his face. Take my advice, just skip this one.

Hey, glad you liked it! It is a lot of fun indeed, I cannot vouch for the sequels though, so good luck with those
I watched Feast 2 and 3 yesterday. Overall garbage. Lost a lot of the charm of the original. I know the first movie liked to keep you on your feet and do some random things but the sequels do is so often and horribly it's hard to take in. Nothing made sense in a bad way. 3/10
Going to watch it now!
