Ju-on: The Grudge (2002)

🎃 Horrorthon 2023 #3.3

This was very disappointing.
Not scary; boring; seemed more like a Scary Movie spoof than the original version of one of my favorite horror movies. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance: I couldn't even finish it, only got about 1/3 of the way through. From what I did watch, it appears the 2004 American remake used the original storyline and structure, just made it 1000-times more scary and interesting.

Resurrection (2022)

This was hard to watch, but in a Cape Fear 1991, Invisible Man 2020, kinda way -- psychological horror TO👏THE👏MAX👏

How much anxiety do you WANT to have??
Because of you're a woman, it's gonna be A LOT.

Kill List (2011)

This was just slow, hard to follow, incongruous, with many discrepancies that are never addressed. Not sure why it has such good ratings on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, it's not scary and kinda boring.

The Canal (2014)

CREEP👏TASTIC👏 and more brutal than expected. A refreshing indie descent into madness, especially after watching Coherence which was boring.

Side note: love the low-key 70's Italian horror vibe of this promo art.

Cape Fear (1991)

Hadn't seen this movie in a loooooooooong time, like 20 years -- WOW, is this hard to watch! Straight-up gut-churning psychotic behavior, and nerve-wracking impotence of recourse. Such powerful performances all around. Now I need to dig up a copy of the original to watch.

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.

The Invisible Man (2020)

I usually avoid watching horror movies in September to cleanse my palate for October Horrorthon, and that's what I was trying to do with this new Invisible Man remake: I thought it was just a sci-fi thriller... but wow, this movie is hella disturbing.

  This was more interesting and disturbing than I thought it would be.

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).

🎃 Horrorthon 2018 #34

Classic. The first for-reals horror movie I ever watched in my childhood -- terrified me, and forever marked Tony Todd as the first of many iconic horror actors in my mind.
