Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist (2005)
🎃 Horrorthon 2022 #37.5
This was slow and boring, bizarre characters, low production quality. I couldn't finish it, only made it about 1/3 through. I'm staunchly on Team Exorcist: The Beginning in the great prequel debate.

Hagazussa (2017)
🎃 Horrorthon 2022 #37

There is a sparse amount of actual dialogue in this film -- it's mostly comprised of stunning imagery and shocking tragedy and suffocating dread.

Bloody Hell (2021)
🎃 Horrorthon 2022 #36
HA! This one was fun. Very cool modern-day twisted fairy tale. Don't think I've ever wanted so badly for someone to FINALLY CUT THRU THAT DAMN ROPE!!

Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022)
🎃 Horrorthon 2022 #34
Woooooow interpersonal relationships are complicated for young people nowadays.😬
This was better than I had anticipated, tho! One of those Rube Goldberg horror movies, in a very maze-like mansion with the power out, so you're never quite sure where anyBODY's at...😆

Burnt Offerings (1976)
🎃 Horrorthon 2022 #33
The psychosis creeps-in real slow in this one, but some powerhouse performances from Karen Black, Oliver Reed, and Bette Davis.
Another rule to add to the Horror Scenario Survival Guide: Screw👏being👏polite👏to👏the👏haunted👏house👏 Just GTFO.

This was WILD!! Absolutely GRUESOME.

The Accursed (2021)
🎃 Horrorthon 2022 #31
I accidentally watched the "wrong" Accursed, but it worked out fine. This one is kinda complicated and slow, but very old-world magicky which was at least interesting, and some mystery in there. Very tragic ending.

Nosferatu (1922)
🎃 Horrorthon 2022 #30 🔥 100th Anniversary
Wanted to watch this 100-year-old film for the anniversary this year, but I had to be very careful... because every other time I've tried to watch it... I'vefallenasleep.😅 Almost happened again this time, but I ultimately made it through!
The restoration version I watched was very well done. Here's all the info about the restoration process posted at the beginning of the film:
NOSFERATU was restored by Luciano Berriatúa on behalf of Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung, Weisbaden in 2005/06. A tinted nitrate print with French intertitles from 1922 from the Cinémathèque Française, Paris, was used as a basis for the restoration.
Missing shots were completed by a safety print from 1939 from Bundesarchiv-Filmarchiv, Berlin/Koblenz, drawn from a Czech export print from the 1920s. Other shots were taken from a nitrate print of the 1930 version, distributed under the title DIE ZWÖLFTE STUNDE [THE TWELFTH HOUR], preserved at the Cinémathèque Française, Paris.
Most of the original intertitles and inserts are preserved in a safety print from 1962 from Bundesarchiv-Filmarchiv, Berlin/Koblenz, originating from a print from 1922.
Missing intertitles and inserts were redesigned on the basis of the original typography by trickWilk, Berlin. They are marked with F.W.M.S.

Candyman (2021)
🎃 Horrorthon 2022 #27
Wanted to rewatch the original before I took a crack at this new one.
Great homage to/continuation of the original. Amazing cast, excellent storytelling, very heavy material.

Candyman (1992)
🎃 Horrorthon 2022 #26 🔥 30th Anniversary
Got to watch this outside with our projector! It was an unseasonably warm autumn evening, we had a group of friends get together, and it was a lot of fun! Still one of my all-time favorite horror flicks, but my son was unimpressed.😆

Overlord (2018)
🎃 Horrorthon 2022 #25
How could I resist a movie with an AC/DC song in the trailer?!
OMG this was crazy as BAAAAALLLLLSSSS! I loved it! Always great to see Wyatt Russell in anything (oh and hey there's Joseph Quinn, too).
Combines the general horrors of war with the specific horrors of reanimated super-soldiers in an underground experimental laboratory. Some sketchy CGI in a couple parts, but doesn't detract from otherwise solid digital and practical effects on-point throughout.

Nightbeast (1982)
🎃 Horrorthon 2022 #22 🔥 40th Anniversary
I knew the instant I saw "A Troma Team Release" pop up on the screen that this was going to be a trashterpiece, and it did not disappoint -- from the sheriff's salt-n-pepper perm, to the infomercial-grade acting, to the Nightbeast's snaggletoothed, sometimes-a-puppet face... and something like 3 minutes of softcore porn happens at one point?🤷️
Prepare yourself for the best of the worst!
Fight scenes! Shootouts! Gratuitous nudity! Exclamations!
You'll laugh/cackle! You'll eyeroll! You'll shout profanities at the screen!

The Wailing (2016)
🎃 Horrorthon 2022 #21
This one is a significant time and attention investment, at 2-1/2 hours of reading subtitles, but absolutely worth it. Lived up to the hype in a massive way, and the ending was like KAPOW!
