By Don Gillette. Whew. There are a million of those on Netflix, but still only 4.

The big thematic questions Subsurface Circular asks aren’t new or even all that profound, but add a touch of social weight to an otherwise by-the-numbers sci-fi tale.

My last column ran through the first 2. Netflix: Not really a horror film, but it shows up when you look for “Horror” on Netflix. I’m a stickler for accuracy, so I have to include it. Having said that, though, it really is frightening, scary, and creepy that this film ever got made because it’s the stupidest waste of celluloid I’ve ever had to sit through. I can’t give you a plot synopsis because there is no plot. Depending on your sense of humor, you’ll either love this or hate it. If your sense of humor stopped developing when you were 7, it’s your cup of tea.

Yes, I know I’m not rating Oscar winners or documentaries about the Holocaust–but this thing was neither scary nor funny. It was just bad. A family traveling in Colombia gets in a traffic accident and they hole up for the night in an inn. When they hear activity in the basement, they go down there and free a girl who was trapped inside. Surprise–the girl is an evil spirit.

The Damned, also known as Gallows Hill is a pretty good horror movie; it’s formulaic, there are some good scares, the acting is decent, and it’s plenty creepy. Usually I avoid movies that were “also known as” because normally this means, “this was a shitty movie so we changed the title hoping you wouldn’t notice,” but on a dark and stormy night, you might enjoy this one. If you’re reading this particular column, you’re probably a Stephen King fan. If you’re a Stephen King fan, you might remember his short story “Gramma.” This film is based on that story and it’s an okay bit of horror.

The premise is easy enough: a single mother and her two sons help take care of their grandmother who just happens to have mystical powers. This one’s not going to make anybody’s “Top 1. It’s old home day in Haddonfield, Illinois: Donald Pleasance’s Dr. Loomis, the psychiatrist who wants Michael Myers dead; Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie Strode (well, actually her daughter), and even little Tommy Doyle, the kid Laurie was babysitting in the original, are back. Six years after Michael Myers’ last outing, he comes back to Haddonfield looking for his niece (that’d be Laurie’s daughter) who escaped from him (after she gave birth to his kid). So not only is Michael still a homicidal maniac, he’s into incest. If you’re a fan of the Halloween series, you’ll enjoy this.

They should have stopped after this one. A few years ago, a guy was wrongfully convicted of murdering his two daughters. The daughters haunt the town where the crime took place. Sounds very simplistic, but it makes for a good ghost story and they’re hard to come by. A good, rock- bottom, ghost story is actually a rare thing.

No devils, no hell hounds, no Ouija boards. Give this one a try; you won’t be disappointed. Okay, I’ll make it quick. A real estate agent meets a crazy girl whom she thinks is the runaway daughter of a couple whose house she’s selling. The movie is 1. 0 or 1. Your best bet is to move rather rapidly along. I watched this for you–life is hard.

The funny thing about Exeter is that it announces it’s “. When they’re possessed by evil spirits, they’re only slightly more amusing than they were when they were just drug- addled teenagers throwing a party in an abandoned insane asylum. This movie isn’t scary, but it’s gory. If that’s your thing, you might want to give it a shot. Could it have been better?

Well, yeah–but Ben Affleck is Batman. Hollywood’s lost its mind. Next up–Jesse Eisenberg as Muhammad Ali. Pretty cool. Tired of all the semi- haunted houses that crop up around Halloween, five friends take off in an RV in search of the real thing. Just when they’re about to give up, things start happening and they figure out the haunt has come to them.

It’s a “found footage” type of film and I think we’re all getting a little tired of them, but overall, this is a good ride. The acting is better than you’d expect for a “B” movie, the plot line is more original than most, and the scenes in all the haunted houses are a lot of fun. A masterpiece. This movie was out for 5 years before I watched it because I thought it would be stupid. It was brilliant. Tucker and Dale are just a couple of lovable West Virginia “good ole boys” who head out to their dilapidated vacation cabin to drink beer and go fishing. A group of hipster college kids run into them and just assume that Tucker and Dale are in- bred, murdering psychopaths. It’s a horror film/comedy/cult classic that should be required viewing for anybody who’s ever watched The Evil Dead or Deliverance or Shaun of the Dead or Zombieland or Tremors or any of a hundred others.

My idea of a good weekend would be to hang out with Tucker and Dale. Hmmm. I just watched it (for this column) and it was most cool. When she hits 1. 6, Lisa finds out she’s stuck in time living the same day over and over again a’ la’ Groundhog Day. Pretty soon, she figures out that she, her parents, and her little brother are all dead and trapped in the day they were murdered. Lisa discovers that she can contact people—people who are also victims of the killer in the past and the future. She learns the killer’s name (Oscar–go figure) and sets out to find a way to stop him.

Is it really a horror movie? Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended. Another “found footage” movie that tosses too many slices of horror movies at you to come together in a package.

Somebody hired a group of morons to burglarize a deserted house in the country to find a rare VHS tape. What they find are a bunch of old television sets, a dead body, and some film clips that show gory and ghastly imagery. This film tries to be an anthology tied around a central story, but it doesn’t quite make it. It’s definitely worth a look, but it’s no Frankenstein. Interesting, but a little claustrophobic. A girl studying the habits of webcam chat site users watches a horrific murder one night during her research. When she, her family, and her friends, are targeted by the murderer, she gets more involved in the webcam chat scene.

Most of this film takes place on computer monitors, cameras, and cellphones and although that’s annoying, it adds to the suspense. Well worth a watch, The Den is another “found footage” film, but not as bad as most.

A deeply disturbing horror and revenge film—and highly recommended. In the Balkans in 1.

A young girl, Angel, escapes death, but is taken by the commander and put to work caring for the girls of The Seasoning House, a brothel of drugged and kidnapped young girls who are prostituted to the military. Angel isn’t quite pretty enough to work as a whore, so she finds ways to move between the walls and crawlspaces in the house to help the other girls–and in so doing, she sees more than she’s intended to see. When the men who murdered her family show up, her revenge begins.

Doesn’t sound like a horror movie, does it? Give it 1. 5 minutes and get back to me on that. Two American girls go on vacation in the Mediterranean and discover the hideout of a killer mermaid.

I’m sorry. Got 3. I was afraid if I screamed at the TV one more time, my wife would call “the people” and have me taken away.

I don’t like these films that try and blend the movie with reality. And I don’t like it when a cult figure like Wes Craven has to have his name stuck in front of the film’s title to get somebody to watch it.

When her husband (yes—her real husband) is killed in a car accident and is found with slash marks on his face, Heather begins to suspect something. If you enjoyed A Nightmare On Elm Street, you’ve got to see this. I’m not going to lie to you—I watched this film about 2 years ago, I liked it, and I’ll be damned if I remember why. Free Download Of Hyena (2015).

It’s the story of a woman who comes home, with her daughter for the funeral of her mother, moves into her mother’s house, and discovers that her mother’s ghost is still hanging around. The mother wasn’t what you’d call a nice person, either.

Rocket League's Switch Version Is Getting Nintendo Cars. Rocket League is coming to the Switch, and when it lands later this year, it’ll have some Nintendo- themed cars players can choose from. There’ll be three—one based on Mario, Luigi and Samus respectively—and they’ll be free unlockables at launch.
