Day of the Dead (2008)




day of the dead



This so called remake of George A. Romero 1985 film of the same age is horrible as remake but an o.k. horror movie on its own. Zack Snyder's 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead did a better job of retailing a familiar story. The film uses the same names of the original and that's about it.It also goes against all the rules that Romero set in the zombie genre. Beside all of its flaws it good scares and a new spin on the genre.

Directed by Don Coscarelli.Phantasm is about Mike a teenager who just recently lost his parents and is worried about losing his older brother. So he follows him everywhere, including a funeral. While hiding in the bushes during the funeral, Mike sees The Tall Man played by Angus Scrimm.

The Blob (1958)

The Blob



The Blob is classic horror movie starring Steve McQueen.The is about a meteor that hits earth that has a pink substance in the core that is alive and eats everything in site. which makes it grow in size. This move is awesome. The special effects are cool even for 1958.the scene with the blob coming out the theater is the best. That scene might not be much now but in 1958 you would have shit your pants.

Army of Darkness (1992)



army of darkness







Army of Darkness is the last installment the of the Evil Dead trilogy. The film is less of a horror movie but more of a comdey with horror elments. It takes place right after Evil Dead II and so not to ruin part 2 I will not go in to much detail, but Ash is back and fighting more demons. A great side splitting movie.
