Halloween 2014 Day 12: The Blair Witch Project (1999)

This film does an excellent job at making you feel lost and hopeless in the woods. If Blair Witch pioneered found footage, [rec] perfected it.

Halloween 2014 Day 11: The Den (2013)

A fresh take on the whole first person handicam thing. Kind of the opposite of V/H/S's premise re: approach to technology. I kept anticipating a twist that was gonna make the whole film come together but one never came. Lackluster.

Halloween 2014 Day 10: In Their Sleep (2010)

French horror. That's really all that needs to be said. Its just a French horror movie.

Halloween 2014 Day 9: Dark Water (2005)

What a terrible movie. John C. Reilly is the only brightness in this horrible slog of a film. Yet another mid-00s Americanization that completely fails in every respect. Was The Ring the only one of those to nail it?

Halloween 2014 Day 8: Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 (1988)

Destroys the mystique of Hellraiser. Cool makeup and stuff but that doesn't redeem it.

Halloween 2014 Day 7: Hellraiser (1987)

Just about perfect in every way. Jesus wept.

Halloween 2014 Day 6: House of Wax (2005)

A schizophrenic film.  Really not bad for a slasher. Paris Hilton owns so much. This movie felt like there were scenes missing.

Halloween 2014 Day 5: Night of the Living Dead (1968)

I don't know how I managed to avoid watching this classic for so long, but its an absolutely incredible film. Completely blown away.

Halloween 2014 Day 4: Alien Abduction (2014)

This movie gave me motion sickness.

Halloween 2014 Day 3: Dead End (2003)

Not as funny as I remember it being, though I've certainly lost a good deal of sense of humor since i last saw it

Halloween 2014 Day 2: Candyman (1992)

Not nearly as racist as I anticipated.

Halloween 2014 Day 1: House of the Devil (2009)

Revisiting some movies this Halloween and posting some brief thoughts.
House of the Devil is not nearly as good as I remember it being. It takes AGES to get to the point.
