Alien 3 (special/assembly edition) 7/10 - I think this movie, especially the longer special edition, definitely does not deserve the hate that it gets. I quite like it, beyond some questionable looking alien CGI.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer 7/10. Not as good as Lobster but still worth seeing.

Been on a Halloween mission this last few weeks.... well... the wife has I have just been along for the ride:

Scream 1 - 8/10
Scream 2 - 7/10
Scream 3 - 6/10
Scream 4 - 8/10
Final Destination 1 - 8/10
Final Destination 2 - 6/10
Final Destination 3 - 7/10
Final Destination 3D - 5/10
Jeepers Creepers - 8/10
World War Z - 9/10
Halloween 7 - 3/10
Halloween H20 - 6/10

I also "rate" horror movies differently. I just don't like them as much as other movies. So while I gave some of these an 8 or 9 score, say compared to a masterpiece like Goodfellas it would be a much, much lower rating in my book. These are just ratings compared to other horror movies.

The Funhouse - 6.5/10

Fun 80's horror flick. One of Tobe Hooper's best right behind Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Poltergeist. Some real creepy elements and the setting is pretty great. Probably not as well known as other horror films simply because it came out at a time when the genre was peeking and it got buried amongst a ton of cliched slasher movies. This is a unique film though, which is saying something for this genre, especially back in 1981. Worth a look if you've never seen it.

Frankenstein (1931) - 8.5/10

One of the very best Universal Monsters pictures, if not the best. A true timeless classic in every sense of the word. It's influence on the genre is undeniable. Essential viewing this time of year.

Friday the 13th - 6.5/10

Started my marathon off with the original. It'd been years since seeing this film and to my surprise it's probably the one I enjoyed the most of the first 4 films. Sure Jason isn't the killer here but the setting and mood are far and away the best of the series and it actually has a nice element of mystery to it with a classic shocking climax.



Friday the 13th Part 2 - 6/10

Pretty decent follow up to the original. Of course the biggest deal here is the introduction of an adult Jason as the unstoppable killer. The return to the camp setting is welcome, something I think hurts the subsequent sequels.



Friday the 13th Part 3 - 4/10

Things start to go off the rails with the third entry. Outside of Jason getting his trademark hockey mask and his supposed death at the end, not much is notable here. It's totally cliche and as one of the first 3D films of the 80's there's an over reliance on gimmicky effects which stick out like a sore thumb.



Friday the 13th The Final Chapter - 5.5/10

I seem to remember liking this one more. Upon revisiting it there are some cool elements with the introduction of Tommy but the supporting cast of clueless oversexed teenagers is downright awful. The setting isn't all that great either as more emphasis should have been placed on the Crystal Lake setting. Instead it's all but an afterthought. Until the showdown with Tommy V Jason at the end it's very by the numbers.

with the hilariously bad way they shoved the 3-D in i'm surprised they didn't literally have a character have a sore thumb that he repeatedly pointed at the audience.

Concussion - 8/10. Very disturbing but extremely well made film.
