I enjoyed H20 a little bit...I didn't think it was good, but I had fun watching it because it had the guy in the mask doing the thing with the knife and all, so that was fine. Haven't seen Resurrection, I want to see that. I think I'll probably enjoy it.

H20 > Resurrection


I HATED the end of Resurrection! HATED it! That's why they better make a sequel because there is no way that should be the way the coolest slasher in cinema history should go out.

Okay, that must be a terrible ending to the Halloween series. I may have to see it anyway...just to see what happened...but I am anticipating a thing of lameness now...

Although I was happy to learn that Rosenthal was doing it. I thought he did a very good job with Part II.

Have you checked out the HDC Top 100? It's a good starting point for the general sentiment around here.

As far as great atmospheric movies go, I always recommend Exorcist III (aka Legion) Tons of great dialogue & psychological horror, with a few in your face scenes thrown in at the perfect places.

There's no way in hell that a slasher film is going to be "the best horror film ever made." It lacks something...

Here Here!

while entertaining, there are many MANY movies that make better horror. However, as far as slashers go, Halloweens 1 and 2 are the only ones i really care for. Scream was fun for a while, but the novelty is gone for me. personally, i think that "the best" is compeltely subjective, there is no real objective "Scaryness" that can be measured. For me, The Exorcist and the Ring probably scared me more than anything, with Children of the Corn and Blair Witch Project coming in after as far as creepy shit that you shouldnt watch before a 3 hour trip home in the dark (whihc i did for both.. through central vermont, at night, in the mountains...)

My favorites are Alien and Aliens. Perfect blends of sci fi and horror. Seperate but equal, on a masterpiece of personal suspence, the other the only truly great sci-fi horror action movie ever made.

I probably should have rephrased that...

I think I should have put "Best Slasher Movie" in my post 'cause Halloween nails that... just for the creepiness. Evil Dead II's probably the best cult/comedy/horror of the bunch... I actually almost got to see it on Broadway a few weeks ago... That has to be rad, like a gwar show. But what I'm getting at is I totally agree with Vodstock. I mean Jaws terrified me as a kid... I've surfed for years and I'm still freaked out by sharks in the water.
