Been on a frightfest since October started and I've seen and rewatched what pitiful horror/suspense dvds i have in my possession. Some just fall flat scary and others are genuinely frightening; some made me feel extremely uncomfortable and some merely tucked me to sleep. But here goes (not in order of preference), my Halloween film list:
1. Carnival of Souls - plot is somewhat sketchy, but the horribly-made-up dude is one effective shocker.
2. The Bird with the Crystal Plumage - Argento is indeed, Italy's answer to Hitchcock. Not at all scary, but entertaining
3. The Fog (Carpenter's original) - a should've/could've been better. The prologue caught me, but the movie puffed.
4. The Others - love the atmosphere. still scary after repeated viewings
5. Exorcist III: Legion - somewhat talky and long; and George C. Scott compensated Blatty's directorial mishandlings.
6. Frenzy - Hitchcock's underrated film still packs a punch, but not as good as his early works.
7. Feng Shui - merely the name Kris Aquino is indeed, frightening....
