Last week I watched:
Scarecrows: A nice little 80's flick. A little cheesy but passable. Something I'd definitely like to see a remake of.
Night of the Scarecrow: Starts off with a creepy looking scarecrow doing the slasher thing.... turns into comedy hour with so many plotholes they can't be filled with a strawman.
Night of the Demons remake: Turned out being a LOT better than I expected. There are some moments put in there for shock and awe value, and well... they work lol. Overall it's a nice little cliche, nothing incredible but it could have been worse..... and... WOW that kid from T2 got fat.
House of Blood (aka chain reaction): What can I say about this film.... when it's strong it's excitingly so... when it's not.... FLOP.
Movie has some neat ideas and toys with the timeline to keep some interest going but some of the sub plotting and scenes revolving around the demons themselves are VERY weak.
Slash: Looked to be a retarded teenie slasher flick... and it was... but it was pretty good. Stronger than the usual garbage with good performances all around.
Lost Boys: The Thirst: As most people can tell you, not as good as the first movie, leagues improved over the second. Solid sequel with some nice tributes to the first movie.
Performances aren't terrible but a couple are a little over the top.
The Falling: 80's movie about alien symbiotes taking over human hosts in a Spanish town... should have been better than it was... has some good creepy scenes, but not enough.
Masters of Horror: The damned thing: Nonsense story about a monster that currupts a town into killlers. Think the Crazies with a lamer plot.
Let Sleeping Corpses Lie: Ecological issues create super zombies.. The zombies are actually fairly creepy. The movie is okay if not a little frustrating.

And a movie called F. It was about a teacher who was assaulted by some studends, then a bunch of "Hoodies" take over the school after hours and kill the faculty. Pretty good movie but it takes a while to get started.

Yeah, they definitely did a good job with the zombies themselves even if they were fairly under-used.
But the dynamic with the detective was near maddening... "I think you random people did it, even though an eye witness says otherwise and you weren't even at the scene of the crime when it occured.... but yeah, you definitely did it..."
Meh.
It was okay.. I think it would be something I would have been way more into as a kid and have nastalgic attachments to today like horror express. As it is.... it was high on creep factor low on plot factor.

Because I couldn't get immediate hold of some Jason movies (I've been belatedly trying to learn about the character) I've moved on to the Myers movies until I can find them. Really enjoyed the first two, different style to Jason, I was thinking, Myers seems to enjoy the moment a lot more, ratcheting up the tension by stalking before killing them.
Anthropophagous. Cannibal film.
The Beast in Heat. Nazi-ploitation crap.
Deep Red. Good Giallo.
Against the Dark. Steven Seagal in crappy survival horror apocalypse.
Even though it had nothing to do with Micheal Myers 3 was a very enjoyable film and a weird concept to boot. Plus it good to see some familiar faces from other films; the guy who played Hunsaker in Lethal Weapon and the 'old man' from Robocop. Plus that tune from that Halloween advert, it nearly drove ME insane!!.
4 was good too, with Michael's doctor getting even more banged up and stressed out, I didn't like the ending though, that shocked me, even made me a little queasy too. But I guess that's what horror is all about.
