I've done a lot of horror movie watching lately as it is late September and I get into the Halloween mood.
Blair Witch - I rather enjoyed this one, even though it flopped at the box office. I was also a big fan of the original. I really liked that they tried expanding the mythos and the Witch's power in this. There were some corny parts and not all the characters were likeable, but overall I felt like this was the proper sequel for the first film. Gave me a bit of claustrophobic feeling of being stuck in the woods. Out of 10, I'd rate it at a 6.5/7.
Assault on Precinct 13 - I know not everyone considers this a horror flick, but I do. And I am talking about the 1976 version, not the remake.The tension is so palpable in this. The onslaught of the gang, and the way they acted was like a supernatural force. Very reminiscent of the original Night of the Living Dead. Also the score is just so perfect, which is not surprising because John Carpenter worked on it. Classic stuff. Out of 10, I'd rate it at 7.5.
Cube - Once again, not everyone considers this horror, but I do. The terrifying prison that is the Cube and the decaying human interaction makes this scary. I kinda have forgotten about it, but me and the lady decided to watch it last night. This was an exhausting flick, and I mean that in a good way. The thought of having to make it past all of the traps and not knowing how to get the hell out of that thing is really horrifying. Out of 10, I rate it at 7.
Sleepaway Camp - A good ole exploitation slasher flick from the early 80's. I hadn't seen it in probably a good 8 years. While it is sloppy and the acting is wooden, it feels all good because of how the killer is set up. It's a whodunit in a way. The deaths are good, the killer pov works wonders in it and the shocking ending is always welcomed. Out of 10, I put it at a 6.5.
