THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE PART 2
Overrated by some and wildly underrated by many others, this is director Tobe Hooper’s 1986 follow-up to his legendary TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
THE TENANT
This Roman Polanski thriller approaches greatness and, but for some questionable artistic choices, nearly achieves it
TEETH
Solid (if minor) comedy-horror that takes the myth of the Vagina dentata (toothed vagina) and creates something unique and enjoyable
TALES OF THE THIRD DIMENSION
An eighties horror anthology narrated by a skeleton and originally released in 3-D
DRAG ME TO HELL
Sam Raimi’s first pure horror film in over two decades was this fun popcorn movie
DUMPLINGS
You probably know this film in truncated form as part one of the THREE…EXTREMES anthology. At its full 90-minute length the film has a real sense of style, not to mention a fair amount of gut-level grotesquerie
THE REFRIGERATOR
This is, quite simply, the CITIZEN KANE of killer fridge movies
RAW MEAT
This subway tunnel-set shocker is one of the most respected British horror films of the seventies, and the acclaim is largely justified
DEAD AGAIN
Another movie that seemed quite cool upon its initial release in the early 1990s but has lost much of its luster in the ensuing decades
THE DARK BACKWARD
I know many of you hold this film in high regard, but to me it’s the essence of pseudo-cult moviemaking: annoying, overwrought and obnoxiously self-satisfied
