Finally found this drat thread. I'm already off to a good start this year. Oct. 1st Event Horizon I really liked this movie, its like Dead Space mixed with Ghost Ship and actually scared me quite a bit. Oct. 2nd Wishmaster I can't sing he praises of Andrew Divoff enough. Hes probably picking bits of scenery out of his teeth to this day. Oct. 3rd Rigor Mortis A strange movie from China about the jiangshe (sp?). It was entertaining enough but I think some of the plot was lost in translation. Also a bunch of weird shoehorned in kung fu. Oct. 4th House on Haunted Hill (1959) I haven't watched a ton of older horror movies but after watching this I understand why its called a classic by some. Vincent Price hamming it up and some actually solid scares. Oct. 5th Wishmaster 2 I will follow you to the ends of the earth Andrew Divoff. It mixes it up and manages to make the evil djinn from the first film almost an antihero by putting him in a prison with human beings more deplorable than him all in all solid fun, I'll be skipping the other 2 sequels for obvious reasons.

Tonight's movie was Fright Night (Remake). I'm a huge fan of the original so this movie was a bit of a downer for me. It was really very pretty to look at and the effects were well done, but it lacked the almost imposing atmosphere of the original, along with the imposing atmosphere of Chris Sarandon. Well a bit of Sarandon but not for very long.. Overall it would have been better if the vastly superior original didn't exist, so it gets middle of the road marks from me. I do wish Anton Yelchin got more work, he was the standout in this movie for sure. Also David Tenant trying his best to not be Doctor Who by cramming a "gently caress" into every other sentence. Just so I can keep track: 1. Wishmaster 2. Event Horizon 3. House on Haunted Hill 4. Wishmaster 2 5. Rigor Mortis 6. Fright Night remake

So far... Event Horizon Wishmaster Wishmaster 2 House on Haunted Hill Fright Night (remake) Rigor Mortis The movie for tonite was Trick 'R Treat, a very underrated horror anthology in the style of something like creepshow. I can't think of a bad segment in the film Except maybe the werewolf one.
