"You show me Regan's double, same face, same voice, everything. And I'd know it wasn't Regan. I'd know in my gut. I'm telling you that that thing upstairs isn't my daughter. Now I want you to tell me that you know for a fact that there's nothing wrong with my daughter except in her mind! You tell me for a fact that an exorcism wouldn't do any good! YOU TELL ME THAT!"
Carlos GonzalezPublished 7 years ago in HorrorThe Best Bad Horror Films
Most horror fans I know have movies that they absolutely love and have no qualms admitting that they are over the top and cheesy. I personally think movies that are so bad that they’re good should have their own category when browsing on Netflix; sometimes the mood calls for something, cheesy, gory, and possibly packed with partial nudity. As a long-time fan of the genre and horror film reviewer I’ve seen some great films, some unwatchable wastes of time, and some amazingly bad pieces of cinema. It only takes a quick Google search to see lists upon lists of bad horror movies, so I know this isn’t an original idea nor is it, by any means, a comprehensive list. We all know about Troll, Sharknado, and Birdemic but I’m going to try to dig a little deeper and show you some of my favorites that never seem to make those lists. It doesn’t matter to me if the cheese is intentional or not, it is still present in all of these films and in large amounts. Ladies and gents, I give you four of the best bad horror films you (probably) haven’t seen.

Spooky Season is here, and thrillers are a close cousin to horror movies. Rico and I decided to put the ridiculous movies aside and actually watch something that we might both consider to be good.

Zombies. Where did this lovable epidemic come from? When I was a kid in the late 80s, early 90s, I loved horror films. In fact, they were an extension of who I was as a kid. I saw my first horror film at four years old (yes, I remember). As I reminisced in a post I did while ago titled "10 Films I Would Need If Stranded on a Deserted Island":
A.R. MarquezPublished 7 years ago in HorrorReed Alexander's Review of Oculus (2013)
You don't have to read this review. You can watch the Cinema Sins and pretty much get the gist of what I'm about to say. I got to give the writer and director credit, cerebral horror is a very hard nut to crack and they really did make a stellar effort. They failed it miserably, but the effort was there. Messing with the audience's perceptions is difficult when, you know, they're watching it on a screen and can pretty much already differentiate between reality and the movie.

Yeah, it was okay... Honestly, I'm a total fan boy for Lance Hendriksen, and have a fucked-up raging man boner for just about everything he's ever been in. Go figure...
Reed AlexanderPublished 7 years ago in HorrorGuys, We Have to Talk About 'Friday the 13th'
We need to talk about Friday the 13th, the original, not the remake. Friday the 13th is one of the most iconic horror movies ever made. It’s a classic. For those who don't know, Friday the 13th is a 1980s slasher flick. It was produced and directed by Sean S. Cunningham and co-written by Victor Miller. It stars Betsy Palmer, who plays…someone. I’m not good at this, but she’s great; trust me.

Reid MoorePublished 7 years ago in Horror'Halloween 3': Who Needs Michael Myers?
Hello, and welcome back to Second Chances where I talk about things that deserve another shot. There are few horror movies that have been more influential than John Carpenter's 1978 classic Halloween. The story of babysitters terrorized by the psychopathic Michael Myers on Halloween night became the template for almost all the slasher flicks that came out afterward. It was also a massive success, taking in $70 million worldwide on a budget of only $300k. Naturally, sequels were wanted by the studio, but Carpenter and his co-producer Debra Hill didn't want to rehash the Michael Myers story over and over. So they struck a deal with the studio. The second would continue from the original's cliffhanger, and the follow-ups would present new stories. That deal gave us Halloween 3: Season of the Witch.
Adam WallacePublished 7 years ago in HorrorMovie Review: 'Happy Death Day'
Happy Death Day is one of the best surprises of 2017. This seemingly throwaway teen slasher flick turns out to be a sneaky black comedy version of Groundhog Day if Bill Murray were being murdered every day. The film was directed by Christopher Lambert whose résumé is riddled with mediocre screenplays for the Paranormal Activity franchise and whose first feature was the idiotic Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, which leaves me to wonder where he’s been hiding this version of his work?
Sean PatrickPublished 7 years ago in HorrorGerald's Game Film Review
I don't consider myself a King expert, at least in the realm of his actual books. I've read The Green Mile (which was years ago) as well as one of his early works published under his Bachman pseudonym, Rage, which would have made a really effective "bottle film" and has themes that are more relevant today than ever.
