My Favorite Movies

The movie release date is wrong as this movie was made in 1979 but only went to theatre in 1980. Anyway this is my absolute fave horror movie. Great gore with zombies that look like what real zombies would look like (decayed, and skeletic, there's some fresher ones as well) My fave ones are definitely the monk zombies! The acting is a little atrocious at time but maybe it's mainly due to the real bad dubbing! The cinematography is very well done and the choice of locations are perfect and somewhat really creepy! Other horror movies should (have) learn from this one as the action/horror started within 10 min. into the movie! Thank you Andrea Bianchi for this little gem! (Recommend to ppl who also like Zombie).

In my opinion one of the most brutal movie is this flick about a violent school gang controlling a certain Lincoln High School. Things get worse when newcomer teacher Andy Norris gets in their way! When nothing and no one is of any help Mr. Norris has only 1 solution taking matters in his own hands! Drugs dealing and abuse, rape, prostitution, violence- in other word decadence will be the first thing that will come to mind to alot of viewers. Creepy enough is the tagline of the movie 'we are the future! and nothing can stop us!' was the director predicting the school violence some school are now facing? Neway, what made this movie so believable is the top notch acting of Timothy Van Patten (Stegman), Perry King (Andy Norris) and of course Roddy McDowell (Terry Corrigan) and the stunning directing of Mark L. Lester. Recommend to everybody into violent non-fantasy movies!.

Fantastic 74 Spanish movie which have some similarities with Romero's Night of the Living Dead, one of them being the first zombie sighting, female alone seeing a strange man slowly walking toward her, etc... The movie has great gore fx although not too numerous, and again great photography and an original and good plot overall! The negative points are the acting or should I say overacting! Some zombies doesnt even have makeup fx on them but they still look creepy (the zombie with head bandage at the hospital). Btw, this movie has to have one of the most hated character in horror history, as the town sheriff! Damn! I wanted him dead so bad! I think ppl who love the orignal N.o.t.L.D might enjoy this one as well!

Lucio Fulci's Zombie or Zombi 2 in Europe is best known for being Italian's first undead movie that was the inspiration for fellow director's own zombie movies. In my opinion this is Fulci's finest work. Zombie features everything that a good horror needs to deliver, this mean ; scary situations, great gore, rotten zombies that do look like dead coming back to life (no blue face zombies here), creepy atmospheres(when the zombies attack the wooden church), tension, and did i mention the realistic gore! my fave scene has to be (unlike many ppl w/ the wood splinter in the eye) but when the little group of ppl enter the house of the doctor and see the zombies feasting on his wife yummy lol. if u like slow rotten zombies that always catch whether u're running or driving a car then ZOMBIE is the movie u've always wish for! (Recommend to ppl who also love Burial Ground)..

Sadly one of the best slasher movie out there but at the same time one of the most cut movie! The acting goes from very bad to actually pretty good but what made this movie stand out is the location and the way the killer interacted with the ppl/victims! Along with The Prowler the outfit used by this killer is just great, a killer in a miner outfit killing ppl with a pick! Too bad I cant really talk about the gore since Paramount offer us a severly cut dvd but from the cut scenes I saw on photos, it look great, u could see the killings on screen and the aftermath, a rumor says that the old Canadian vhs is uncut but cant tell as I havent find any and I live in Canada so good luck finding one! For fans of masked slasher and mainly The Prowler!

One of the most popular title from the early era of 80's slasher in the wood movies! Although few the movie has some cool and nice death which make me wanna warn u to be careful when opening up the carhood to look at the engine or other problems ur car may have! The whole movie plays at night which higher the scare factor and mainly the tension in the movie! A creepy looking killer at night always add to the goods. Doesnt have an original plot but the movie is lotsa fun anyway! For Friday the 13th - The Burning fan!

well what can i say about this Bruno Mattei (the master of the nun/naziploitation movies) movie! The acting is so horrible that u only will get a good laugh and entertaining movie for the next 95 min. This movie follow the same path as all other zombie movies, which is a (this time coming from) nuclear plant's accident emanating toxic gazes turning the natives and some workers as flesh eating ghouls. the zombies look goes from bad (blue face) to pretty good. the gore is like all Italian movie pretty great and realistic (done by maestro Giannetto de' Rossi who did fx for lotsa Italian horror), there's also plenty of action, nudity (yay), some unintentional humor (soldier dancing ballet anyone!), all the key element to create an entertaining movie. My only negative point is the use of stock footage and sometime the same footage is use over and over again). The first 30 and last 30 min are the greatest and most brutal of the movie! (Recommend to ppl who like Nightmare City).

When I think some ppl think 28 Days Later or the Dawn of the dead remake is the first even fast running zombies, they probably never saw this gore-o-thon involving fast running zombies (who look like Mr Potato Head on crack)! Cheesy, gory, bad acting, bad clothing, nice synth music make this movie one of the best in the Z movies realm! (Recommend to ppl who like Hell of the Living Dead).

Dir. Atsushi Muroga create a very good hommage to Lucio Fulci in 1990 and Im sure if Lucio saw this movie back then when he was alive, he must have had his ego flattered. The one scene that prove it, is the scene when the corpses in bag (victims of the Yakuza gang)
return to life. It really reminds me of the deceases at the Doc lab in Zombi when he shoots them in the head as soon as they return to life.. The main difference though is the numerous bits of humor integrated in the movie like to relieve the viewers from the violence / intense moments. This movie just like Children of the Living Dead / Biohazard also featured a super zombie. I would have been okayed without this one but I think she's there for the nudity factor required in horror's. The gore is nice, the acting is superb and the setting without being the best is also rated A. Recommend to ppl who love intense Asian horror / Zombi and Burial Ground fans as well

This fake snuff movie might be one of the most controversial movie ever as a proof of that, Charlie Sheen giving out the tape to the FBI thikning it was a real snuff movie! For its time. this movie made in 1985 and even today has some of the best and most realistic fx ever. This blood and gore galore isnt for the faint of heart!

wow, was this movie a blast or not! Total 80's style slasher in the woods with influences from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Just Before Dawn, etc... For once we dont get characters we hate or that get on our nerves. The gore is really nice so is the setting of the movie! The acting is also believable this time around. Probably my fave from the 00's! Recommend to fans of slasher in the woods and fans of TCM, Hills have Eyes, Just Before Dawn, etc...

This is probably the only remake I like (along with Willard). Fx guru Tom Savini directed this remake and he really did a great job as this movie has more action and tension and blood/gore than the original 1968 movie! What I also like about this movie is that Barbara went from the shy/scared victim of the first movie to a strong willing woman in this one! All the main characters are back again with some better changes! Knowing that Savini is better known as one of the top gore fx, u may think this movie is gory but it isnt! I mean it has some great gore but nothing near the like of lets say Dawn of the Dead (1979) or Day of the Dead ; both for which he did fx! i would have really like to see more Savini directed movie but for now I have to contempt myself with this one and what a fun ride it is!.

Not sure why do zombies coming out of water so creepy but it is! A group of ppl on a small boat , seek refuge on an nearby island , after being struck by a ghostship, surely not knowing what's waiting for them, yep they will have to fight for their life and run from the super-zombies the Nazi created during WWII. Very great and creepy movie that unfortunately miss blood. The acting is very good so are the settings and photography! Those creepy nazi zombies arent ur usual zombies but more like undead ppl without the intelligence, and emotions but as mention earleir they are creepy anyway and they can be kill only one way, and no it's not a bullet in the head!!!

The 2nd of the Romero zombie trilogy. I remember the first time I saw this movie, it rocks but then some years later I have a different feeling about this movie. I sometime feel there are way too many long moments without anything happening or too many talking scenes but when the zombies enter the mall, there are plenty of action. The gore is great of course so is the acting. For this movie to be better, try to get the Argento version which is faster in execution with less talking scenes. But for me the best of the trilogy is still Day of the Dead which I will review sometime soon ;o)
