Eraserhead (1977)
I tried REALLY hard to like this one (it's my first David Lynch film) but I just couldn't get into it. I actually found it a bit repulsive, to be honest, not that I think it's a bad film, I just have trouble with some aspects of the surrealist genre.

SHIVERS 1975
A parasite infects occupants of an apartment building and madness ensues but its nothing like"Rec". Really. FRIGHT NIGHT PART TWO 1988 Jerry Dandridge's sister moves in to seek revenge on Charley Brewster. CRAWLSPACE 1972 An older couple find a troubled young man is secretly living in their crawlspace and they more or less try to take him in. Its thoughtful and really good.

Defo in a good way. Just as I was writing the description, I realized how much it might sound like "Rec" and if you've seen "Shivers" its really nothing like it at all.

Dead and Buried
I watched Dead and Buried tonight, a ridiculous horror film from 1981. The plot is people are being brutally murdered in a northeastern coastal town, and the crimes are being perpetrated by the town's residents. Not everyone is in on it, and the town sheriff is on the case. From what I have read, the movie was originally going to be a black comedy, which would have suited this material a whole lot more, but instead the producers changed it to be played straight, and what's more they wanted more gore, so they added some extra kills after initial filming. I could see this movie working as a black comedy, but it's much too silly for straight horror, so ultimately this movie did not work for me. The kills were way too over-the-top for a serious movie, for starters. There are many lapses in logic which would have been fine for a comedy but stretches the notion of 'suspension of disbelief' well past the breaking point for something striving for plausible. The twist ending would have made for a great comedy gag, but here is just unintentionally hilarious.
The movie isn't completely without merit though, there were some good make-up effects, courtesy of Tom Savini. Like I said above, there are a couple of laughs in it, albeit unintentional. Also a brief but welcome topless scene featuring a hot blond. A minor but early horror role for Robert Englund. However, all told, there just isn't enough to make this movie worth an hour and a half, given all the much better movies out there. Dead and Buried isn't terrible, there are plenty of much worse movies, but it just isn't very good, in my opinion. This is another case of the movie poster being much cooler than the movie.
