Snyder back in zombie zone in ‘Army of the Dead’
‘Event Horizon’ (1997) remains a creepy cult classic
Frightening Friday (Movie review): It might not be the “scariest movie you’ll ever see.” But “Event Horizon” is deserving of its cult status.
‘Hellbound: Hellraiser II’ (1988) another gore-effects feast
Frightening Friday (Movie review): It’s nice to have Ashley Laurence back, but the story loses tension in this grander “Hellraiser” sequel.
Barker’s ‘Hellraiser’ (1987) is artistic gore-horror
Frightening Friday (Movie review): While I wouldn’t categorize myself as a gore-hound after watching “Hellraiser,” I do admire Barker’s film as art.
‘Slither’ (2006) a fun small-town infestation romp
Frightening Friday (Movie review): “Slither” isn’t scary, but it is disgusting. Yet the gross-out imagery is so cartoonish that it’s more funny than gross.
‘Leatherface’ (2017) recaptures ‘Chain Saw’s’ grotesquery
Frightening Friday (Movie review): Featuring nasty people embarking on creative bouts of violence, this is a surprisingly good prequel.
‘Dark Skies’ (2013) makes aliens scary again
Frightening Friday (Movie review): This Keri Russell starrer isn’t wildly original. But it’s a fun, grimmer answer to films like “E.T.”
‘Texas Chainsaw’ (2013) a direct – and stupid – sequel
Frightening Friday (Movie review): This 2013 sequel chronicles the events directly after the original. But it doesn’t make much sense.
‘Slumber Party Massacre’ (1982) is moldy slasher cheese
Frightening Friday (Movie review): Some 1980s slasher films are a lot of fun. And some, like this one, are a cut below.
‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2’ (1986) a bonkers comedy
Frightening Friday (Movie review): This is a rare sequel in a different genre from the original. The switch from scares to laughs is not for the better.
