1.Seconds (1966) starring: Rock Hudson, Salome Jens, John Randolph, Will Geer, Jeff Corey directed by: John Frankenheimer May 29, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.95
I remember seeing this movie when I was 14 yrs old. It had a great impact on me(of coures at 14, in the 1960s you'd have to be practically dead, not to be influenced by what was going on in San Fransico). I still think about it from time to time and happened to catch it on tv the other night. The only thing that no one seems to mention, is that John Randolph didn't have much of a choice to stay the way he was. He was blackmailed by the "company" showing a black and white film of him rapeing a young woman. Still it was a great performance by Rock Hudson and the other actors or course. I would watch it again from time to time, if I would allow myself to pay that much for a movie. Thank goodness for cable. Great movie.

3.Island of Lost Souls starring: Charles Laughton, Richard Arlen, Leila Hyams, Bela Lugosi, Kathleen Burke directed by: Erle C. Kenton September 16, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.95
This was released a year before the production code went into enforcement, and it shows! There are things and suggestions of things here that the filmmakers would never have gotten away with once the Breen Office began imposing its iron fist on Hollywood. H.G. Welles, who wrote the novel on which it was based, was reportedly disgusted by it, but this is still one of the very best fantasy pictures of the early sound era, easily standing alongside 'King Kong' and Whale's 'The Bride of Frankenstein' as the very cream of the crop. That it is still unavailable on DVD is a crime. After more than 70 years this remains an exciting and involving picture with a number of unexpectedly poetic moments. The atmospheric camera work by Karl Struss is pretty sophisticated for the time, the art ... Read More

4.Phantasm starring: David Arntzen, A. Michael Baldwin, Reggie Bannister, Bill Cone (II), Kate Coscarelli September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.97
Phantasm is a late '70s supernatural fantasy horror movie that does a great job of combining atmosphere, creepy nightmares, flying sphere-violence, location, characters, events and scares into one great, big bundle of nightmarish joy. As an artist with a love of all things odd, unusual, beautiful, surreal, spooky and fun, this movie delivers all that and a bag of evil chips from another dimension. Let me describe the highlights and joys of this movie: The creepy, old cemetery setting. The mystical, surreal hallways under the morgue. The flying spheres with daggers at the end that contributed a great gore scene. The almost stereotypical '70s fellas, with their collar-length hair, leather jackets and love of rock. The evil midgets that chase you and spew yellow vomit. ... Read More

5.Friday the 13th 1 starring: Betsy Palmer, Adrienne King, Harry Crosby (II), Laurie Bartram, Jeannine Taylor directed by: Sean S. Cunningham December 07, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I first saw this movie when I was in seventh grade. I'll have to admit that I watched all of the Friday the 13th movies in order and rented them all from my local video store. I enjoyed all of them very much. After I saw the first I had to see more. I had seen this movie again about ten years ago and I had recently seen it again a few months ago. My views have changed a little bit about the movie over the years. I found the movie captivating when I saw it when I was 13. Ten years ago I was still excited with the movie even though I knew who the killer was. The kill scenes which are the norm now were innovative back when the movie was first released. The kills that happened weren't exactly new in movies at that time but it was the first time that they happened in such a popular horror ... Read More

6.Devils, The starring: Vanessa Redgrave, Oliver Reed, Dudley Sutton, Max Adrian, Gemma Jones directed by: Ken Russell April 26, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.85
I rented this film and Truffault's Day for Night one night, and showed them to a love interest of mine at the time. I showed her Day for Night, which she absolutely hated and despised (despite the fact it was a dubbed, pan and scan version, so she couldn't have used the "subtitled/letterbox" excuse many use). She stopped calling me after that. I wished I had shown her The Devils, as it would have warped her fragile, little mind and stayed in her subconscious for the rest of her life. It would have become a permanent parasite, popping up occasionally and messing with her brain when she least expected it. This is one of Ken Russell's most amazing, outrageous, and thought provoking/brain melting films. It is arguably his best work, where the frenzy and mania reach dizzying heights. It is not a work where there ... Read More

7.Children of the Corn starring: Peter Horton, Linda Hamilton, R.G. Armstrong, John Franklin, Courtney Gains directed by: Fritz Kiersch September 10, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I had a feeling I wasn't going to like this but I manage to get through it. Nearly everything that Stephen King has ever written seems to have been turned into a film or TV series; in fact, I'm surprised that no one has tried to make a mini-series from the guy's grocery list. Let's face it, if they did, it couldn't be any less interesting than 'Children of the Corn.' Based on one of King's many short stories, this 1984 horror flick sees Linda Hamilton and Peter Horton playing a couple on a long car journey who run into a spot of bother when they chance upon the sleepy Nebraska town of Gatlin, where all of the adults have been murdered by children who worship an ancient evil that lurks in the corn fields. Although director Fritz Kiersch does manage to build a fair amount of atmosphere at the ... Read More

8.Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice starring: Terence Knox, Paul Scherrer, Ryan Bollman, Ned Romero, Christie Clark directed by: David Price February 21, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.70
I think that this was weird that this was a Paramount movie and the tag line said Dimension Diversion On Miramax Films. This was 1993 movie, DVD Release 1993 94 minutes long ( very rare ). Region 2 didn't have near good effects. Micahs Transformation wasn't on R.2, when Micah gets hit by eletric bolt he screams and on R.2 he doesn't, then his voice gets real deep at the end not on R.2, then when the face appears on Micah his face changes shape before the devil appears. The Top Ten New Mdeia DVD doesn't have those effects. Different music was in different regions, the VHS had those effects to, and feel free to comment and ask me questions about this CotC movie. I know every single thing on this movie. This is another CotC review, i write reviews on all of the CotC movies but in a mixed-up order. I like CotC 2 but not as ... Read More

9.Fearless Vampire Killers starring: Alfie Bass, Sydney Bromley, Otto Diamant, Terry Downes, Ronald Lacey April 27, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.19
One of the overlooked things about most of the vintage 1960s and 1970s Hammer Studios horror films is that they were quite funny, often in an unintentional way. Yes, Christopher Lee had a certain charm, but is it not true that he was also far more grandly silly than scary? Looking back on those films, they certainly do not hold up as well as even the Universal Bela Lugosi takes on the genre, much less superior vampire films like the silent F.W. Murnau classic Nosferatu, Carl Dreyer's Vampyr, nor Werner Herzog's Nosferatu, Phantom Of The Night. No, the Hammer films were always more along the line of the non-George Romero zombie flicks- full of hammy acting, bad gags, cheap effects, few scares, but a ton of laughs- not unlike the same era's Godzilla films. Thus, Roman Polanski's 1967 color parody film The Fearless Vampire ... Read More

10.Texas Chainsaw Massacre starring: Marilyn Burns, Allen Danziger, Paul A. Partain, William Vail, Teri McMinn directed by: Tobe Hooper October 13, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.44
This is perhaps the stupidest movie ever made. If not the most stupid, it should easily make the top five (or would that be the bottom five?). Either way, the acting is terrible, the sound is horrific, and the plot appears to have been written during an afternoon of drinking and football watching. Five idiotic morons, one in a wheelchair, are in a van in rural Texas. They stupidly pick up this total scumbag hitch hiker who proceeds to give everyone the creeps, but he isn't thrown out of the van until he cuts the dork in the wheelchair. The wheelchair guy is easily the most annoying of all the cast members. After hearing him deliver two lines, I was ready to take my chainsaw and destroy my TV. One by one the youths go to this old farmhouse and encounter the idiot with the chainsaw. Oddly enough, his chainsaw ... Read More
