Halloween

Description

More disturbing to me than the fact I can't watch this without spending 68% of the time under a blanket is the fact my 10-year-old daughter can.

Great background for a Haunted House/Halloween party.

The Exorcist

5 people recommended this item

Description

You may never have seen this version... ask yourself, do you really want to? It's scary. Very scary.

DVD features
Although it was endorsed by director William Friedkin (reportedly with some reluctance), this "new" version of The Exorcist was criticized by many as a marketing ploy, and now exists for perpetual debate among horror fans. In addition to a few more subtly inserted "subliminals" of demonic imagery, 12 minutes of previously unseen footage focus on four new scenes: the series of physical tests (spinal tap, etc.) that Regan (Linda Blair) must endure; a post-ritual scene between priests Karras (Jason Miller) and Merrin (Max von Sydow), in which Merrin postulates that Satan is targeting them in order to make them despair and doubt their faith; a different version of the famous "spider-walk" scene (shown as an outtake in the previous special edition DVD's making-of documentary), in which Regan eerily walks down stairs in an upside-down, crablike movement, with blood dripping from her mouth; and a new ending, in which Father Dyer (Rev. William O'Malley) meets Lieutenant Kinderman (Lee J. Cobb) and the two of them share a casual chat about movies, echoing Kinderman's earlier talk with Father Karras. This final change was viewed by many as the most egregious, destroying the closing note of the original version. Fans and critics alike found much more to praise in the spectacular remixing and remastering of the film's original soundtrack, which is now scarier than ever in Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound. --Jeff Shannon

This movie is so stressful but it would be fun to watch with a bunch of friends. The way people die in here is so elaborate, it's almost funny.

This movie gave me nightmares for days. I used to hate Milla but love her in this movie. She kicks ass. There are zombies, psycho AI computers and a man-eating hybrid creature. And the action never stops. Good stuff.

28 Days Later (2003)

First to recommend

15 people recommended this item

Description

I do not tend to think of myself as a fan of the horror movie genre, much less of the zombie subgenre. However, I really enjoyed 28 Days Later. It's probably because I am very much a fan of the "last humans alive at the end of the world" features and this film did an excellent job of portraying one of these scenarios.

I only dared to watch this when it was edited for TV but I think I could step up to the theatrical release version. Not ready for the unrated version yet though. From what I saw it was terrifying.
