The Hitcher (2007)
🎃 Horrorthon 2019 #33
Turned out to be more action-thriller than horror, but Sean Bean was good.

Prince of Darkness (1987)
🎃 Horrorthon 2019 #30
More Carpenter! This one is VASTLY under-appreciated. Great cast, including Donald Pleasence, Victor Wong, & even Alice Cooper!

The Dead Don't Die (2019)
🎃 Horrorthon 2019 #25 🔥 Release Year
The reviews aren't great, but I enjoyed it --- but I can see how other people would not. Would I recommend it? Only to weirdos like me, I guess, lol.
It is slowww and dryyyyy; there is some social commentary re: corporate greed and consumerism that is not subtle and sticks out like a sore-thumb; and one of the character-groups' fate is never resolved to the audience.
Things I liked about it: The cast really saved it for me, Bill Murray and Adam Driver work well together, and Tilda Swinton being weird is always great; the plot is bizarre, but the cause of the zombie outbreak is creative; the running Sturgill Simpson gag (also, the theme song is good); the breaks in the 4th wall. My fave part was probably the WU-PS delivery.

I've been waiting for this to be streaming somewhere!
NOTE: I also watched House II, but that is not a horror movie and not good.

Saw this in theaters 10 years ago -- DVD's been sitting on the shelf about that long now. Time for a revisit.

Meh. Lots of body-horror in this one, not really my scene.

The Nun (2018)
🎃 Horrorthon 2019 #17
My friend had warned me that this was not good. I ignored him and watched it anyway. This was alright, actually. Some good creeps; standard religious/demon/possession stuff, but not as lame as he made me think it would be. Glad I ignored him. Will I watch it again ever? Meh, probably not. Also the Nun totally was Marilyn Manson I'm pretty sure. 🤣

Jump scares already got me twice and they're not even in the cave yet.
This was so good, why did I wait so long to watch it?!?

Midsommar (2019)
🎃 Horrorthon 2019 #12 🔥 Release Year
Well my friend was right when he saw this in-theater and told me I would like it (which is why I just went ahead and bought the DVD when it released). The cinematography is excellent -- gives that inverted (sometimes literally), otherworldly feeling, which was probably my favorite aspect, really. Loved the scandi-pagan-cultist aspects, but it was a low-key slow burn, if that's not your thing.

Village of the Damned (1995)
🎃 Horrorthon 2019 #11
Finally, some John Carpenter!
OMG, Mark Hamill's in this?! How long has it been since I've seen this movie?!
Worth another watch after all these years, esp. for nostalgia, but not on my list of favorite Carpenter.

The Devil Bat (1940)
🎃 Horrorthon 2019 #9
Bela Lugosi as Unhinged Scientist, straight-up cold-blooded murdering folks with a chemically-engineered bat the size of a bald eagle. So many stereotypes.

Slender Man (2018)
🎃 Horrorthon 2019 #8
All the reviews for this are pooptastic, but I just have to see for myself. Here goes nothing. After about 10 minutes, realized I had already watched this earlier in the year -- that's how memorable this movie is. Not really awful, but definitely forgettable, obviously.

Escape Room (2019)

Interesting but predictable.
If you're looking for the ultimate horror escape-room movie, watch CUBE (and then might as well watch CUBE² and CUBE ZERO while you're at it).

Suspiria (2018)
🎃 Horrorthon 2019 #4
This was OK. I liked it better than the original, but I didn't like the original all that much. This remake has its few great moments. Could have done without the political background plots, which felt forced and were really unnecessary to the story. It's got 3/5 stars on Amazon, and that's about right.

If you're into horror movies that make you yell at the screen things like "wtf, seriously?!" and "no, don't do that! why are you doing the dumbest thing?!" then this is the movie for you.😆
