CLASS OF 1999
Q: What do you get when you pair Malcolm McDowell as the principal of a school, with Stacey Keach and Pam Grier as android teachers on a killing rampage? A: Lots of ultra-violent fun!
A CHRISTMAS HORROR STORY
A Canadian made exercise in holiday horror, presenting four segments tied together by William Shatner as a DJ. It’s an almost movie, with many promising elements that never quite reach their full potential
CHRISTINE
One of John Carpenter’s all-around best films, a darkly comedic haunted car chiller that’s dated extremely well.
THE CAT AND THE CANARY
This 1927 haunted house classic is seriously hokey, but worth seeing nonetheless due to the extraordinary visuals created by director Paul Leni
THE CAR
One of the odder JAWS wannabes from the seventies: a big budget horror programmer about a killer car!
CAPRICCI
An unrestrained phantasmagoria from Italy’s Carmelo Bene, one of the world’s most defiantly idiosyncratic filmmakers
CAPE FEAR (1991)
Back in 1991 this Martin Scorsese film seemed an anomaly: an unabashedly commercial thriller, and a remake to boot. The film has many good things, but just as many not-so-good ones
CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST
This hugely controversial exploitation epic is easily the best of the Italian cannibal movies of the late seventies and early eighties. It’s also one of the most repellant, disturbing and morally repugnant films ever made
CANNIBAL GIRLS
So-bad-it’s-rotten comedy-horror from Canada, notable only for the fact that it was an early effort by director Ivan Reitman
CANDYMAN
This racially tinged gorefest is a standout horror film of the 1990s, and one of the best Clive Barker adaptations to date
