VARSITY BLOOD
A compact little slasher film
that is very simple but effective. It's easy to make a good slasher film as
long as you follow the rules and this one does-Neat chase and kill scenes,
effective deaths, cool killer disguise as high school mascot.
ABC’S OF DEATH PART TWO
The vignettes are less
inventive visually than the first movie but the stories are better thought out
and good stories beat visuals any day of the week so better than the first film.
Favorite stories - M, X, B, Z, V
THE LAST SHOWING
Some unanswered questions at
the end (strains credulity a bit) and a bit slow at the beginning but overall a
slick little suspense more than horror film with Robert Englund at his creepy
best.
DEAD SEA
A while ago, I wrote that a
giant lamprey that preys on humans would be a good idea for a horror movie and
lo and behold we have this film as well as BLOOD LAKE on the Animal Planet TV
channel. I'm glad Hollywood is meeting
the public's demand for giant lamprey horror movies. THE DEAD SEA is just okay
slow burn not too ridiculous but not engaging or scary either. The lamprey is glimpsed briefly and in
between there is a lot of exposition but it is handled competently.
