Two years after little Andy Barclay and his mom were terrorized by the possessed Chucky doll, Andy is living with foster parents, because his mom is locked up in a psychiatric facility. The charred remains of Chucky are reconditioned by the Good Guy doll company to verify that the doll wasn't defective. It doesn't take long before Chucky is back to killing on his…
The series had grown stale and it was time to lay it to rest with one last outing. Here we go again with the "it's over" treatment. The last remaining teenager from Springwood is used by Freddy as bait to lure more children into his jurisdiction. Apparently, he can't kill kids in their dreams outside of Springwood. Those pesky supernatural rules. I had no…
It's hard to take any of these movies seriously with "final" in the title. You're going to make more. Don't even try to act like you're done. This Friday the 13th sequel is a bit of a departure from the previous movies. After an elaborate FBI trap, Jason Voorhees' body is blown to pieces. That's at the beginning. The rest of the movie is…
A hippie school teacher accidentally invents a blood powered car while working on a wheat grass powered car, and must maintain his fuel supply with a little bit of killing. It starts innocently with squirrels and rabbits (here we ago again with the killing animals). Then it escalates to people. Boy, does it escalate quickly. He runs out of "gas" regularly and must dump…
There are far too many peeing scenes in this movie. Also, WTF did I just watch? This German horror porn is about as extreme as I'm willing to go, and I wasn't that willing. I think the sexual attraction to dead things isn't even that disgusting. What got me was the dead animals. The killing of a rabbit seemed pretty real and it's not something I…
It took 9 years to produce a sequel, but only 6 years have passed in the movie. The ending of the first movie is continued through flashbacks and the younger brother, Mike, is now a grown-up. He is joined by Reggie, also returning from the first movie and a new character, Liz, who has psychic tendencies. They must unite to try to stop the Tall…
Two brothers deal with strange goings-on in a small Oregon town where people are dying and the most likely suspect is a creepy undertaker known as the Tall Man. Phantasm achieved cult status and is well known for it's original premise, iconic Tall Man character, and the deadly sphere object. These elements are explored in greater depth in four sequels. It's fun seeing how later…
When it first came out, I thought Freddy vs. Jason sounded absolutely ridiculous. It turns out that both horror franchises needed the breath of fresh air that this movie brings. With Freddy rendered powerless due to the townsfolk suppressing his memory, he uses Jason as his pawn to bring the good people of Springwood back to fearing him and thus giving him strength. I…
It's sequel time! Terry, the ugly not Stephen Dorff kid from the first movie, is back and his life has gone to shit after the events of the first movie. He's all alone and his dad is an alcoholic. For some reason, he thinks that opening the demon gateway and harnessing its power will somehow get things back on track. Yeah, that makes a…
Two friends dig a hole in the main kid's backyard. They find a geode and unwittingly set in motion events to open a gateway to some hell dimension. Strange stuff starts happening. The 80s are strong with this one, particularly the fashion, music, and special FX. I liked the little demon creatures that looked mostly done in cheesy stop-motion. There were some good suspense moments…
