The 50 Best Horror Movies You’ve Never Seen 2014 ★★★
A fun little overview of good (and less good) horror movies. A lot of talking heads, but you can tell that they love the genre.
A fun game is ticking off a check to see how many of these you saw (at the time I am only around 12).
Enjoyable for what it is and bound to provide you with some viewing material.
Ps: I was sick at the time and needed something I could fall asleep to.
The Belko Experiment 2016 ★★½
A fun little romp about a fictitious company named Belko that locks in all of its employees on a blue whatever day. And then makes clear that their mission is killing each other.
Oh, first, it's only two. Sure. But the more fast witted people in the ranks immediately figure out the long game.
The characters reach across the spectre from the main baddie who kills to survive to all rood good guy Mike. But the main heel is Wendell. A grade-a a-hole who you cannot trust under any circumstances. Lacks the courage to take responsability but will kill his friend to save his own hide.
No fancy dinner but okay for what it is.
Hatchet 2006 ★★★★
Hatchet is a solid slasher that delivers on all the levels. Wether it's on the kills or the gore, it never fails to deliver. I have to say that that's a nice pace of change after a slew of PG 13 slashers where some of the kills were hardly more than a paper cut.
The star, of course, is Kane Hodder. He makes Victor Crowley look properly menacing and scary and even gets to expand a tad on his acting in the few scenes as Victors's father.
This is no Shakespeare, nor does it want to be. Hatchet knows what it wants to be and the people behind it know how that's done. Good job, mates.
