The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

Never go on a trip to a graveyard. (Slight Spoiler)

[10/10 · 6 June 2003]

For a movie with such a low budget ($140,000) that went on to gross well over $30 million at the box office in 1974, I thought it was filmed masterfully. I just like the way that Tobe Hooper filmed this movie. 5 friends go to a graveyard to find out if their relatives have been disturbed. Two of the five are brother and sister. Franklin the brother is an invalid. Well they find out that everything is fine with their deceased relatives. So all of them go to Franklin's father's old home. Night falls and they uncover a family of cannibals. One of them named Leatherface wields a blood soaked chainsaw. One by one the party of five falls victim to this family of horrors. This film opened a new chapter in the horror genre, and brought horror to a new level, paving the way for such films as Rob Zombie's recent House of 1,000 Corpses.

Dreamcatcher (2003)

It was good but not the best Stephen King Movie (Mild Spoiler)

[8/10 · 9 May 2003]

In a lot of Stephen King books he his friends come together to stop some evil. In Dreamcatcher four friends save a small boy with down's syndrome in return the small boy gives the four friends a special gifts. Years later the four friends go on a camping trip, with them not knowing that a alien virus has breaking out in the area. The military calling the alien virus "Ripley" The four friends get split into pairs. Now not all together they have to survive the alien force.

Well I personally I love it I read the book and love it to. The only thing I really did not like I thought the aliens were kind of cheesy. But the worm once were cool. (Out of 10 stars I give it 7)

Werewolf: Pilot (1987) Season 1, Episode 1

Great T.V. Show

[8/10 · 18 April 2003]

I was only 8 years old the 1st time I saw Werewolf on FOX. Werewolf was the 1st show to really show the FOX can make it. I love it, it was one of the best horror show on T.V. To bad it was only on for one season. Bring it to DVD or video.

House of 1000 Corpses (2003)

I love it!

[4/10 · 12 April 2003]

House of 1,000 Corpses was great. Very bloody It kind of reminded me of the 1974 classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. In House of 1,000 Corpses there are a lot of similar parts to TCM. But overall the movie was entertaining, some scary parts. The cast was good. I like the story. If you loved The Texas Chainsaw Massacre you will love House of 1,000 Corpses.

The Amityville Horror (1979)

I like this movie

[9/10 · 11 April 2003]

I was reading over the other comments on Amityville Horror. Yes it is a slow movie, but a good one. It is one of the best horror movies. It is right up there with Black Christmas 1974, The Exorcist 1973, Halloween 1978, and The Shining 1980. How this movie met not be the scarest one, but bring base on a true story make it a little scary. Not seeing ghosts fly around. Not having little girl's head turn around. Not having spirits talk to you and to tell you to kill your family. Not having those things in Amityville Horror made it a horror classic.
