My Rating System
0- walked out and don't intend on finishing.
1- Watchable but objectively bad.
2- Entertaining, but brings nothing new to the table.
3- Exciting, thought provoking, interesting techniques, unique style, but only to a limited extent.
4- Perfect. Down to the last minute detail.
5- GOAT
Movies I've watched so far (trying to focus on movies I haven't seen a lot)
Coraline. Some say there are only two horror fans. Slashers, blood, shock horror and Sophisticated Poe-esque horror. Wrong. There is a third. The inner spooky teenage girl. 4/5
The Babadook. The first hour of this movie is just a kid screaming. My anxiety went through the roof, but the movie and the kid won me over. 3/5
Vampire Hunter D. If you love anime and love Gothic conventions, this is for you. It feels like a very long first episode of an anime. 2/5
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation. (The one with Mathew McConaughey.) Mathew McConaughey steals the show from Leatherface who quite literally becomes a background character. Tragically miscast, his overpowering performance never comes across as menacing. He just screams funny noises at his hillbilly family. I couldn't stop laughing. 2/5
Van Helsing. This came out after Underworld, an action movie with a vampire paint job. This movie is in the same tract, an action movie with a Classic Hollywood Horror paint job. 2/5
Terrifier. Delightfully cruel. I found myself rooting for the enigmatic Art the Clown, as he is not just a killer, but a performance artist. Low budget, violent, but practical. 3/5
Terrifier 2. It's everything that's rich about the the first movie, the performance art in clownish murder, the enigma that is Art, the Clown, but now it actually has a storyline. 4/5.
