Jason X – Day 30 – 31 Days of Halloween
Jason in Space. And it works beautifully. Tongue firmly in cheek but with awesome kills (check out the liquid nitrogen death). There's also the small bugs that help things to heal super quick, Uber Jason, the female android, the cameo by David Cronenberg... Lots to like. Friday fans seem to hate this film. They're the …
Evil Dead 2 – Day 29 – 31 Days of Halloween
A bigger budget, a remake of sorts, this film was released when the video nasties furore was petering out. People were starting to see that horror movies wouldn't turn the working class oinks into bloodthirsty serial killers or even adversely affect their dogs (as Graham Bright so hilariously claimed) but could be considered as art …

Why John Carpenter’s Halloween Is The Greatest Horror Film Ever Made
A video I've just made- HERE Happy Halloween from Meathook Cinema 🙂
Scream – Day 27 – 31 Days of Halloween
Yes we know the slasher film conventions. Instead of the most irritating characters to be committed to celluloid explain them to us how about integrate them into the script and make an intelligent horror classic. Instead of the mediocre franchise starter that this is. Oh and if the film wasn't bad enough Nick 'Goth for …

The Driller Killer – Day 26 – 31 Days of Halloween
Another serious contender for the title of 'The Most Controversial Video Nasty' (the film shared that title with The Evil Dead). And whilst the film does have its shocking moments of lurid horror (yes involving an electric drill) this is more a slow and meticulous study into alienation, the descent into madness and mental illness amidst …

Duel – Day 25- 31 Days of Halloween
A man (called David Mann) is travelling to meet an appiontment but is stalked, driven insane (pun not intended) and almost killed by a driver in a huge battered old truck. This movie is amazing. Firstly, it was directed by Steven Spielberg for TV which makes the fruits of his labour even more staggering. So much …
Tenebrae – Day 24 – 31 Days of Halloween
Probably Argento's best movie in my opinion. A successful writer Peter Neal is visiting Rome from America. He becomes aware that a serial killer is on the loose and strongly influenced by his work. This film is staggeringly good. Prepare to be astounded by the tracking shot of the outside of the apartment block- one of the …
