My Favorite Movies

The night He came home! John Carpenter established the formula for all the slasher films that followed with this brilliant horror masterpiece. Nothing's ever as good as the original...

Perhaps the scariest movie ever made. Brings the Devil right into your living room in the body of a 12 year old girl. Classic.

Hitchcock set the bar for every disturbed killer that followed. Anthony Perkins' performance is brilliant.

A very disturbing tale of horror.

It's not Death if you refuse it. Great tale of vengeance from beyond the grave! Brandon Lee (RIP) is incredible.

Another Wes Craven masterpiece! Still nothing beats the original.

The "true" story behind Night of the Living Dead. A classic.

Ultraviolence, set to Beethoven. Delicious!

My favorite of the series. Corey Feldman kills Jason. Priceless!

Disturbing tale of suburbia in 1988...

Rob Zombies brings the Fireflys into real life. Makes them scarier than ever. Bound to be a cult classic.

The ultimate tragic love story. Gary Oldman absolutely embodies Ludwig Van Beethoven.

Keanu Reeves is the only weak link in this masterful retelling of Bram Stoker's masterpiece.

Fantastic tale of a murderous family set in the '70's. As bizarre a trip as listening to a White Zombie album.

Masterpiece.

Life in 1978 for 4 KISS freaks. It's a laugh riot with a KISS show at the end. Can't beat it!

Great Japanese horror, ruined by Hollywood in the American remake.

visual feast set to a great soundtrack, with a really good story!

Jodie Foster & Anthony Hopkins created screen magic in this must see!

Three reasons to see: Edward Norton, Ralph Fiennes, and Sir Anthony Hopkins.

I originally saw this in the '80s under the title "Innocents From Hell". Much disturbing imagery and satanic rituals. A must for the obscure horror fan!

Classic genre defining cinema.

Romero. Argento. Music by Goblin. Nuff said.

Just have to see for yourself.

I absolutely love this movie. Glad to see it is finally available on DVD. Nick Cave's song "Red Right Hand" reminds me of this movie.

Hitchcock at this best. Definitely one of my favs! Raymond Burr is especially creepy.

Truly disturbing.

Give it a name. Character driven tale with an extremely clever twist. A must see for any fan of mob dramas.

Excellent remake/update. Changed the story enough to keep it different from the original.

Tom Savini's remake with awesome makeup & a strong Barbara.

Decent retelling of the Romero classic.

Great retelling of Howard Hawke's classic Sci-Fi tale and turns it into a straight out horror flick! Gruesome.

A favorite of Clint's "Man With No Name" movies. Returning from the dead to exact revenge on both the men who killed him, and those that let him die. An American "Spaghetti" Western.

Death rode a pale horse...and Hell followed with him.

Over-the-top satirical social commentary about the media turning killers into heroes. One of my all-time favs. Saw it in the theater 4 times!!!!

Romantic comedy with zombies! Best movie ever. Ever.

Darren Aronofsky spins a web that catches & keeps you put as 4 lives spiral down the path of addiction. Addicting.

My words are not enough to praise the greatness of this movie...it must be experienced for yourself. Make sure you watch the Unrated version.

'Howlin' Mad' Murdoch from the "A Team" plays a psychiatrist & Martin Landau plays one of his patients. Great tale. Plus a Sic F*cks live performance!

I love this one, tells the backstory of the puppets, set in Nazi Germany!

Awesome. Spectacular! Divinely evil. Robert De Niro embodies the Devil and Mickey Rourke does a wonderful job. Watch all the way to the end to see the journey to Hell.

This movie is excellent. Death truly is a painful journey. What will you see when the Grim Reaper visits you?

Genuinely creepy. Great visual storytelling of a vampire before they became the pretty, romanticized creatures we see in films today.

Brilliant retelling of the making of Nosferatu. Willem Dafoe is unrecognizeable as Mas Schreck, a real vampire hired to play an actor playing a vampire.

Low budget cult classic. A tale of revenge of the worst kind. Still the most disturbing scene I think any man could watch...

Excellent movie. Things are not always as they seem.

Very cool alien movie. An alien cop is chasing an alien criminal that has a taste for metal music, fast cars & jumps from body to body as he exhausts the life from the human forms he steals. Great!

The very definition of being brutal to your audience. Another Wes Craven masterpiece.

Desperation at it's disturbing best. Angela Bettis is awesome.

Pamela Voorhees turns Camp Crystal Lake into Camp Blood. The original that started the legend.

Great kills in this one. I personally think Jason is scarier in this one with the sack on his head with only one eye hole cut in it. The legend continues to grow...

Very cool that a writer gets to bring his own vision to the screen. David Cronenberg's performance adds a very creepy element to this tale of outsiders trying to stay away from the real monsters...humans.

Pinhead. Nuff said.

Make-up is a let down in this one...but it was in 3D! Jason gets the hockey mask.

Christopher Walken as God's avenging angel. Despite the write-up below, I think it's a great tale that raises some very valid questions about religion and blind faith. Viggo Mortensen embodies a very charming, seductive Devil. I like it.

Stanley Kubrick takes on horror master Stephen King's tale of madness & murder in the isolated Overlook hotel. Jack Nicholson is incredible. Perfection achieved.

In space, no one can hear you scream! Atmosphere. Creatures. Darkness. Awesome.

A sequel that stands up to the original. Different enough to stand on it's own and actually expand on the story-line.

Rock star vampires. The Frog brothers. Great one-liners and a pretty awesome storyline. The soundtrack doesn't suck either.

Totally underated horror flick. Simon is a serial killer afflicted with bizarre visions that compell him to kill and kill again. I highly recommend for any fan of horror.

Like 2 movies in one. The first part is as about a realistic depiction of Marine Corps bootcamp as I've ever seen. The second part is pure Kubrick & his view on Vietnam. A winner.

Based on the real life exploits of Henry Lee Lucas & his recorded "confessions". A truly disturbing movie.

Great character driven drama from director Carl Franklin. I think this is a truly underated, little-known movie. Tense.

Awesome. Simply perfect.

The Monster demands a Mate. Great tagline. The Monster is befriended by a blind man that teaches him to speak. Hate the living. Love the dead.

Maybe Kevin Costner's best baseball movie. Proof that a great director does not need to confine himself to one genre. Sam Raimi takes a story of the end of a relationship & turns it into an aging athlete's shining moment.

A "makes-you-wonder" movie. Maybe the mentally ill aren't really mentally ill... Kevin spacey gives a very compelling performance. Great!

This is a classic 80's slasher! A bloody heart in a valentine's candy box. Awesome...

Outstanding!

I first saw this film in my Directing class in film school. I know why my instructor chose it, there is not much wrong that the director did here. Billy Bob got out of the way of the story and let the characters & the story shine through. I recently rewatched this movie with a friend that had never seen it and it made me have an all-new appreciation for this movie brilliance.

The only "vampire" movie I've ever seen where the vampires were scary and I felt sorry for the humans. This movie is incredibly well done and completely captures the feeling of isolation & utter terror the survivors of the first wave of attacks experience over the course of 30 days. Excellent movie. I highly recommend it to anyone that would like to see a good, bloody, scary horror movie!

George Romero's most personal independent movie since 1968's 'Night of the Living Dead'. He brings the 'Dead' films into the current time while still telling an apocalyptic vision of humanity and still finding new and visually interesting ways of dispatching the walking dead. I loved it.

Great for anyone that likes Romero's 'Dead' movies. Set on a non specific island it shows a possible origin for the epidemic of 'living dead'. Some truly awesome visually disturbing scenes throughout this movie. Slow and plodding, just like zombies should be.

Took me completely off guard. Creepy and terrifying. This one will make you jumpl!

There has never been a better on-screen Elvis. Bruce Campbell nails it! This movie has it all Elvis, JFK, and a killer mummy! Must see movie madness!

Mesmerizing. This short movie was able to create the same creepy feeling that reading Lovecraft's writings could. Quite possibly the first honest interpretation of Lovecraft's work on film to date.
