“Do you taste metal?”
Terrifying. Real, actual Lovecraftian horror. Something so powerful that to even stand close enough to it and look at it is death. Not just death, but the destruction of your body on a cellular level. I think one of the reasons I love this so much is that it gives me the feeling of genuine terror that people describe feeling watching horror films. Horror movies have always been fun and cool for me, but this is…
David Lynch is pure, unfiltered expression. Not weird for the sake of weird; art for the sake of art. His work is the opposite of pretentious, it's totally, 100% pure. Eraserhead is such a unique anxiety-induced nightmare. If a movie can make me feel like I’m in a totally different universe, I have to respect it. I definitely wouldn’t recommend watching it while very tired, because it’s so quiet and ponderous, but there’s nothing quite like it. Absolute undiluted creativity. It’s…
Charles Band has officially gone insane. This is the third movie in this little series, which started with Corona Zombies. Each one of these has pretty much been the same—the title characters start out dealing with current events in their charmingly bubble-headed ways, and end up watching an old movie on tv that’s been dubbed to be funny with jokes that are attempting to be relevant. It’s about the laziest example of filmmaking I could imagine, but these things aren’t…
The first Silent Hill film has over the years grown on me so much over the years that I snow consider it one for my favorite horror films of all time. I never watched this sequel because of terrible word of mouth, and now that I’ve seen it I’ll say the criticisms are mostly warranted. It doesn’t have the creepy atmosphere holding everything together, or at least it’s not achieved nearly as well this time. There are two interesting scenes in…
Great gothic horror, wonderful viewing for the spooky season. Barbara Steele is mesmerizing in this movie. Literally a perfect movie to watch for Halloween.
A misunderstood, overlooked masterpiece. Cinematic nihilism at its absolute finest. What begins as a typical bank heist film gradually morphs into something quite different and unique. Eric (one of the greatest villains in screen history) and his band of criminals don't really care about money or prosperity. They don't even take the time to concoct a semi-decent plan of action. Their operation is sloppy and insane, because they're junkies searching for their next high, the biggest high of all. They see…
