The Boondock Saints (1999)

After having an epiphany (message from God), two fraternal twin brothers decide to hunt down and kill the most notorious and dangerous men around in order to rid Boston of all that is evil.

Written and directed by Troy Duffy and starring Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flanery, David Della Rocco, Billy Connolly and William Dafoe.

Filmed in a very artistic manner, Boondock Saints shows the results of the brother's actions prior to the showing of the actual events in where they use the FBI agent (played by Dafoe) to explain what had taken place and walks through the events with the audience as it plays out of screen.

This is a very fun an enjoyable flick that never seems to slow down. The story is simple but goes above and beyond for each and every scene. All in a mostly realistic manner. It shares a great mix of action, comedy and a serious aspect.

All the acting was spot on, everybody portrayed their characters without a hitch and made all their characters to be very easily likable, but I do have to go on record to say that William Dafoe's character, without a doubt, absolutely steals the show by playing a gay FBI agent who is on the top of his game. He also gives us a fun little twist near the end of the film that is just incredibly hilarious.

Without ruining anything about the film for anybody I will leave you with this. Get out there and see this film if you have not done so yet. Buy it, rent it or Netflix it, I don't care. just check this out ASAP!

Easily a 9 out of 10!

Night Of The Living Dead (1968)

The 1968 classic and original, Night of the Living Dead, written and directed by George A. Romero, has been one of the main reasons we have so many amazing movies, comics and television shows which revolve around the use of zombie's. This is the father of all zombie films (White Zombie being the Grandfather of the genre of course) and has not only helped spawn a countless amount of media, but also a gained a series in itself by generating five distinct sequels.

Starring Duane Jones, Judith O'Dea, Karl Hardman, Marilyn Eastman, Keith Wayne, Judith Ridley, Bill Cardille and Kyra Schon.

This film follows the story of five strangers who are seemingly stuck in a farm house relying on each other in order to survive the night after they hear reports that the dead has begun to rise.

One of the most well known horror films out there thanks to it's effects in pop culture as well as it's numerous amounts of remakes, night of the living dead is on the top of most horror fans what to watch list and can be thanked for helping create great properties such as Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead.

The black and white can take away from the film for somebody raised with computer graphics enhancing everything they watch but it's one of the most important films out there and should be viewed by every horror fan at least once in their lifetime.

For a movie made in the late 60's the gore was unbelievable, and really a statement to show the effect of what was happening to these survivors.

Another piece of the film that I always loved was the news reports the survivors watch on the television. It was something that was able to add that extra vibe to the viewing and really helped suck my into the film.

Although the ending threw me for a loop the first time I had watched it, I was still able to understand and appreciate the film as a whole and for that I give this classic a 10 out of 10. This is not only because of how great it is, but for what it has helped bring to future writers and film makers.

Hatchet (2006)

A group of guys set out to Mardi Gras to take things off their friend Ben's mind after he is dumped by his longtime girlfriend.

When the booze and the girls won't seem to help with his heartbreak,  Ben decides to take a haunted boat tour where he and everyone aboard, run into a snag and must ban together in order to escape from the fearsome spirit of Victor Crowley.

Written and directed by Adam Green. Starring Deon Richmond, Tamara Feldman, Joel Moore and Kane Hodder as Victor Crowley

To start off, this film was FILLED to the top with some of the biggest stars the horror genre has ever seen, including Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger), Kane Hodder (Jason Voorhees) and the aforementioned Tony Todd.

Written and directed by Adam Green, you can tell that this was the inspired work of someone who loves watching the classic slasher films. From the cameo's to the ending there was always something an old school fan could pick up on at almost any point of this movie.

The first hour seemed like it was a little too goofy for my tastes, all I could think of this movie as was a mix between Lake Placid and one of the Friday the 13th films, but I soon realized what the writer was doing. And it paid off when the story line got serious and the scenes had started getting filled with gore.

I did find the main character's dialogue a little bit odd at first but it suited the look and mannerisms of the actor portraying him and made me see the type of person he is supposes to be resembling.

The kills in this were a mix of straight old school slasher and new original, innovative deaths which is always a plus when I'm watching a slasher. And the gore used was amazing and very realistic. Although some of the kills weren't overly convincing it was still very well made.

And for the 80's fan out there, the ending is made especially for you! You will love it and hate It all at the same time, I can guarantee that.

So for my big finale, I will have to say that watching this movie is a big yes, even if you're not really a fan of the first hour, such as I was, just keep watching it and it will pay off in the long run. Hence why I am giving it a 7 out of 10.

Suspiria (1977)

Suspiria is the story of an American dancer who takes an available spot in a world renowned German dance school in order to improve her abilities.

But the dance academy seems to only be a front for something much worse and much more evil.

Directed by Dario Argento, co-written by Dario Argento and Daria Nicolodi, Starring Flavio Bucci, Stephania Casini and Jessica Harper as Suzi Bannion.

I bought this movie in 2003 when I was working in the electronics department at the local Zeller's store. I found it among several other classic horror movie titles in a boxing day bargain bin.

Because I worked there, I had first dibs on any of the goods that our bargain bins had to offer and sure enough, I stocked up on everything that was deemed scary.

Now, this is where my dilemma came into play. I was unable to ever get into this film. No matter how many times I have tried to do it, I could only get about half way into it and without a second thought, I would turn it off.

Because of this, I decided to go to the internet and explain my thoughts on a forum and got blasted by about 50 different people when I said it was one of the most boring movies in the genre that I have seen thus far.

I then packed it up and never spoke of that day again. Until now.

People have been referencing this movie a lot lately for whatever random reasons, so I decided that my being 10 years older  I would give it another shot and see if my opinion has changed at all.

Especially after watching the entire film this time around.

Unfortunately, the same issues that I had suffered from in the past, seem to be the same problems I am currently having with watching this movie. A good portion of the scenes are played out for an unnecessarily long period of time which seems to makes this painfully long for me.

Any time a scene starts up that could lead to a cool kill or gore filled event, we are graced with a lot of bright light and colors which just threw me right out of the movie. It reminds me of some sort of weird art picture that you would find at any specialized film festival.

I understand this thing has a cult following but I can't suggest this film as something good to watch. I don't care who hates me for it and that's cause it's my opinion and nobody else's.

It's a really odd movie all around and not anything I will ever be watching again, so I believe a 1.5 out of 10 will suffice from me. The death scenes were pretty neat but dragged out way too long, which ruined any of their effects on me.

Other than that I seriously could not get into it no matter how hard I tried and will honestly have to say, I am disappointed that so many people tried to bash me over 10 years ago about this thing when I was right about it this entire time.

Friday the 13th (1980)

Camp Crystal Lake was shut down due to a string on ravenous murders. Because of this, the campgrounds have gained notoriety for being an area that nobody should enter.

Years after the grizzly murders, a group of teens get hired on as camp Councillors by the new property owner to help set up and repair the camp site in order to have it ready for the upcoming batch of children. This prompts somebody to come out of the woodwork to complete something they started long ago.

One of the all time greats, not only in horror movie history but in movie history in general. This film spawned a huge cult following and soon became one of the most widely recognized horror franchises of all time.

Hands down favorite kill in this film is the one involving an axe. Huge bloody mess that leads to nightmares is the only way to describe how people felt after seeing it for the first time.

I personally did not sleep for a week when I saw that scene for the first time at the ripe old age of 10.

Fantastic movie with a great story, amazing special effects, just like the Kevin Bacon murder scene for an example with an excellent soundtrack, (Ki-Ki-Ki-Ma-Ma-Ma) and overall, fantastic ending to go with it.

I do not think I have to say much more, I give this movie a 9 out of 10.
