My quest continues to watch two horror films from every year I’ve been on the planet, the first winner of a Twitter poll was A Nightmare on Elm Street. The second winner I was surprised to see was Stephen King’s Firestarter turned into a film. I’d hadn’t really heard much of this and wasn’t expecting too much when I watched it, did it exceed my expectations? Continue reading to find out!
So here we are at 1984 two horror films or at least films with a horror element for every year I’ve walked/crawled on the planet. The first winner of the 1984 poll was A Nightmare on Elm Street, this is a review but it also serves as a look back as I’m sure all horror fans already know about this film. Anyway if there’s anyone that hasn’t seen it are they really a horror fan?
I decided to ask the good people of Twitter to vote for two films from every year I’ve aimlessly been wandering the planet. I set up two polls and I’d watch and review the winner of each from 1981 hopefully right through until the current day. I was hoping to fill the polls with either classic films, ones I’d never seen or ones I’d not watched for a long time. So far the picks were great you can read 1981 winners An American Werewolf In London and The Beyond by clicking their links! But any way now it was time to watch the first winner Poltergeist…………….
If you read part 1 which you can do by clicking HERE! You’ll know that through a series of Twitter polls my aim is to watch or rewatch two films from every year I’ve been on the planet and then review them. So 1981 started with An American Werewolf in London and picked second is Lucio Fulci’s The Beyond.
I fancied a bit of horror comedy to watch on a Sunday afternoon and this one had some how passed me by when it was initially released. Starring Reece Shearsmith and Andy Serkis I had a good idea it’d be a decent watch. There’s quite a few decent British horror comedies about so I sat down to give it a watch.
So we got a bit of a break from the Resident Evil reviews when I posted my review of Train To Busan (2016) but now it’s time to see what I thought of the fourth Resident Evil film. If you want to check the others I reviewed them Here for the first one, Here for the second one and Here for the third one.
So now I’m halfway through the Resident Evil series reviews I thought I’d give people a break and drop a review in of something else. Having finally got round to watching the much hyped Train To Busan I thought that it seemed as good of a film to review as any. “How great this movie has been” has been all over my Twitter timeline for months now, problem is sometimes the hype is wrong, so did I think this was overhyped or does it live up to it’s lofty billing!
Time to review the second installment of the Resident Evil franchise, not much else to say really. I’ll be hopefully posting a review everyday as I work my way through the films. Most films with this many sequels tend to get worse and worse as they progress, so this is a good chance to see if I feel the Resident Evil films get the same way or not.
I watched this a couple of weeks ago so it seems right to review it now as the first post of the second year of this blog. It’s a British witchy film starring the wonderful Katee Sackhoff, who I’ve liked since seeing her in Battlestar Galactica and on a non horror related note it amazes me she’s not been cast as a Marvel or DC super hero yet. But never mind that here’s my review of Don’t Knock Twice………
For some reason I never got round to watching this film for a few years despite hearing great things about it. When I put on Twitter that I was about to watch it I got a lot of tweets saying how this is one of their favourite horror films. Its written and directed by the awesome Soska sisters who I follow on Twitter so it even surprises me I’d not watched it sooner.
