- DirectorAnthony WallerStarsAdrian PaulAmanda DougeAnthony WallerA security expert is sent to a remote scientific camp to investigate strange things that are happening.An extremely well made horror fest that's bound and hell-determined to please the majority who view it. This one will keep you guessing. Highly recommended.
- DirectorAndreas MarschallStarsPeter MartellAnja GebelMagdalena RitterA creepy three-part anthology which is actually constructed from a trio of German-produced independent short films that form a narrative around a mysterious cult in 1983 India as a wrap-around story. In the first story "Shakti", a reporter talks to an institutionalized cult survivor who claims to have murdered her boyfriend. In the second story "Devi", a man awakens from a therapy session to discover that he's been beaten senseless and held prisoner by his evil therapist. In the third story "Kali", a faith healer exorcises a spirit from a person only to discover that he has released it into his cellar.This movie is just plain old-fashioned messed up. Wow.
- DirectorAndrey IskanovStarsAlexandra BatrumovaSvyatoslav IliyasovAndrey IskanovA haunted hitman whose violent career has taken a toll on his mental health turns to trepanning as a means of relieving his growing anxiety.I can only imagine what kind of screwed up mind-bent person came up with this. This movie is foreign and it would have to be because I don't know if Americans are capable of imagining something like this.
- DirectorGus TrikonisStarsRichard CrennaJoanna PettetAndrew PrineA doctor buys a Civil War era dilapidated mansion, and hires a few friends to fix it up, but the mansion hides a deadly secret.Very good movie with Richard Crenna. It surprised me.
- DirectorAlexandre CourtèsStarsRupert EvansKenny DoughtyJoseph KennedyA group of cooks at an asylum for the criminally insane get locked in with the inmates during a massive thunderstorm.Mental hospital horror. Been done before but this one is very well made.
- DirectorBob BalabanStarsRandy QuaidMary Beth HurtSandy DennisA young boy living in 1950s suburbia suspects that his parents are cannibalistic murderers.You like meat? :) Great movie. Definitely kept my interest.
- DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsRalph FiennesMiranda RichardsonGabriel ByrneA mentally disturbed man takes residence in a halfway house. His mind gradually slips back into the realm created by his illness, where he replays a key part of his childhood.Some might not call this horror but from the viewpoint of the main character, it certainly would be. The extremely talented Ralph Fiennes plays the main role and from the first couple of minutes you can tell he's not phoning this role in. I must warn however, it can be slow for a while. This is one that demands patience to get to the end and it demands thought afterwards. It's a web that's for sure.
- DirectorMatthew ChapmanStarsJennifer Jason LeighBrenda VaccaroJack HallettCarol inherits a night club from her weird uncle. She moves into the place, only to find out just how weird her uncle really was. She begins to remember more about her very special relationship with her uncle as she battles her memories and her surroundings in her new home.Not your typical 80's fare. If hollywood made movies as original as this today, they'd still be revered as the most talented movie makers the world over.
- DirectorJon KnautzStarsAaron AshmoreCindy SampsonMeghan HeffernTwo female journalists and a photographer travel to Europe to investigate a series of mysterious disappearances, only to find themselves embroiled in a struggle against a kind of evil they never expected.I'm genuinely not sure how many have seen this and how many haven't but here it is in all its glory. Very much worth a look.
- DirectorAndrzej ZulawskiStarsIsabelle AdjaniSam NeillMargit CarstensenA woman starts exhibiting increasingly disturbing behavior after asking her husband for a divorce. Suspicions of infidelity soon give way to something much more sinister.Haven't come across anyone that hated it but I must admit, it's a strange one.
- DirectorKen RussellStarsGabriel ByrneJulian SandsNatasha RichardsonThe Shelleys visit Lord Byron and compete to write a horror story.All about the night the story "Frankenstein" was made. Great movie.
- DirectorBrian YuznaStarsBilly WarlockConcetta D'AgneseBen SlackAn ordinary teenage boy discovers his family is part of a gruesome orgy cult for the social elite.Twisted and perverse but with a statement. Messed up though.
- DirectorRolf de HeerStarsSteven VidlerCeline O'LearyRitchie SingerA small Australian town is stricken by unusual occurrences; electrical faults, violent and psychotic human behavior.Watched it twice within a week. Can't go wrong with this one on a Friday night. BTW, it's an aussie flick.
- DirectorRichard StanleyStarsRobert John BurkeChelsea FieldZakes MokaeA woman on the run from her abusive husband encounters a mysterious hitch-hiker.I'm not sure if this movie is well known or not. It wasn't known in my circle so here it is. It's excellent btw.
- DirectorPeter WeirStarsRachel RobertsAnne-Louise LambertVivean GrayDuring a rural summer picnic, a few students and a teacher from an Australian girls' school vanish without a trace. Their absence frustrates and haunts the people left behind.Many would say I'm not right in the head to put this down as horror but I disagree. It may not be structured like a normal scary flick is but it's got the properties that count. It's based upon a true story.
- DirectorBernard RoseStarsCharlotte BurkeJane BertishSamantha CahillA young girl lost in the loneliness and boredom of reality finds solace in an ill boy, whom she can visit in a surreal dream world that she drew in her school composition book.Been a favorite in my circle for years. Really, you can't miss on this one.
- DirectorAntti-Jussi AnnilaStarsVille VirtanenTommi EronenViktor KlimenkoAs a 25-year war between Russia and Sweden concludes, two brothers who are part of an effort to outline new border accords become undone by their actions, and their mistreatment of a young woman during their journey.Brought to you by Finland.
- DirectorCamilo VilaStarsBen CrossHal HolbrookRuben RabasaA priest battles a demon that kills sinners in the act of sinning.Can be a little sleazy in parts but I've always been a fan of it.
- DirectorFreddie FrancisStarsJack HawkinsDonald PleasenceGeorgia BrownA psychiatrist tells stories of four special cases to a colleague.The late Mr. Donald Pleasance stars in this classic. A legendary screen presence as always.
- DirectorMark L. LesterStarsBradley GreggTraci LindMalcolm McDowellThree ex-military robots are reprogrammed as teachers and secretly placed in a school where most students are part of organized gangs. They begin to respond violently to unruly students, and their military training starts to take over.This one could be horror or sci-fi depending on your point of view. It's a B movie but a good one.
- DirectorÁlex de la IglesiaStarsÁlex AnguloArmando De RazzaSantiago SeguraBent on committing as many sins as possible to avert the birth of the beast, a Catholic priest teams up with a Black Metal aficionado and an Italian connoisseur of the occult. Now, he must become an unrelenting sinner. Is there still hope?The mexico version isn't in English and there's no subtitles. The version from Spain has them both if I recall. The cover is all serious but the movie is very funny. Great way to spend a couple of hours.
- DirectorDavid TausikStarsBen CrossJennifer BurnsBeverly GarlandGabriella finds an unfinished symphony that was written by her late uncle Octave Barron who found inspiration through murder. Thrilled by its possibilities she hires Marius (Ben Cross) to complete the symphony. As he begins work on the piece he finds himself stuck in a bizarre murdering cycle handed down from the original composer.It won't change your life or anything but it is a very well made movie. And besides Ben Cross usually doesn't pick duds. BTW another more known title for this movie is "Blood Song."
- DirectorFabrizio LaurentiStarsDavid HasselhoffLinda BlairCatherine HicklandA photographer and others are stranded at a Massachusetts island hotel haunted by a woman in black.A good way to kill a Saturday afternoon.
- DirectorAntonia BirdStarsGuy PearceRobert CarlyleDavid ArquetteIn a remote military outpost in the 19th century, Captain John Boyd and his regiment embark on a rescue mission which takes a dark turn when they are ambushed by a sadistic cannibal.Cannibalism at its finest.
- DirectorWayne CoeStarsJames Earl JonesBrad DourifWill Hare"Grim Prairie Tales" is a 1990 horror anthology movie where a cynical bounty hunter and a clerk traveling through the prairie rest by the campfire telling four stories of terror to each other.James Earl Jones and Brad Dourif in a horror anthology. If that doesn't peak your interest, don't know what will.
