So we're halfway through Spooktober, and not a thread to be seen on Horror movies. Time to fix it I say! So feel free to recommend your favorites and discuss any and all things horror.
Due to being in self quarantine, I've been on a bit of a Horror Movie binge this past week.
Dread - Based on a Clive Barker short story, about a college project looking into the nature of dread, and one member of the investigation team taking things a bit far. Quite liked the soundtrack, and provided quite an intense ride after the first half of the movie being more romantic.
The House That Dripped Blood - Anthology horror movie with loosely connected stories all taking place in the same house. Not super scary, but was well acted, and having Jon Pertwee, Christopher Lee, and Peter Kushing in the same movie made my inner nerd very happy.
Circus of Horrors - Plastic surgeon on the run takes over a circus and uses the circus workers for his experiments in surgery. Anyone who tries to leave has unfortunate accidents.
To All a Good Night- Rather typical sorority slasher film. The twist was a bit blatantly telegraphed, I felt, but the motivations for the killers was mostly believable.
Mirror/Mirror - Goth teen and her newly widowed mom move into a new house that has a haunted mirror. Mirror grants teen powers, which ends up being a lure for drawing the creature in the mirror out. Pretty sure they raided the costume closet of Beetlejuice for the main character's wardrobe.
Bloody Murder - Modernized Version of a summer camp slasher film. Most un-believable part for me was the main character having a laptop with reliable dial-up internet in the middle of no where. Was good for background noise while I worked on other projects.
April Fools - Standard Slasher on the loose at a remote house setup. Decently done twist, and overall likable characters.
Girlhouse - Modern day sorority slasher, but with the setting as a cam house. A disgruntled viewer tracks down the house and turns the online show from titillation to terror.
