Horrorfest 2016: A New Beginning

Hey buddy

Okay so at this point I’m just ripping off titles from the Friday the 13th series. Besides any good horror fan knows never to trust a franchise that promises the next installment is the “Last one, the final chapter, the main bad guy is finally dead!, etc.” I also am using this title because this year I’ve decided not to make any pre-viewing list this time. Instead I am just listing all of the movies I actually bother to watch from August to October, plus the few movies I usually grab to kick things off with. Reviews will still be posted, although they may be even more half-assed than normal. To the few readers of this blog I have a 40 hour a week job and thus don’t have the time I used to have to watch a million things. Plus I blame peak TV widely available online for a decrease in movie viewing. Enjoy regardless, and I hope to try and see more horror that I haven’t yet fully explored.

Alright so this concludes Horrorfest 2016. I have finally six months later reviewed every movie I viewed during a three month period. Here is my Top 10 List just because I only saw 40 movies:

1. We Are Still Here (2015, Geoghegan)-95
2. Spoorloos (1988, Sluizer)-95
3. Session 9 (2001, Anderson)-95
4. Dale & Tucker Vs Evil (2010, Craig)-95
5. The Fury (1978, De Palma)-94
6. Insidious (2010, Wan)-93, Family Video
7. Jacob’s Ladder (1990, Lyne)-93
8. Hush (2016, Flanagan)-92
9. The Others (2001, Amenábar)-91
10. They Look Like People (2015, Blackshear)-90
