So last year I provided a list of 10 scary as heck films as an alternative for the typical films we watch every Halloween. Here's this year's version for the spooky season.
976-Evil... I came across this Wes Craven film on one of those late late nights... and it is still one of those movies I can't watch alone. In this flick, a dorky teenager who is continuously bullied by a hot guy and his annoying buddies; happens to come across a card to a supposed horoscope hotline, 976-Evil, which he starts calling nightly. Little does he know, that he is really calling the devil and selling his soul to him at the same time. This movie is very MTVish, but it's fun and scary.
House... I don't why, but I've always found Victorian houses mysterious. And the one in this horror flick is uber spooky. As the plot goes... a writer moves into a house after his aunt commits suicide there which is also the same house that his son went missing in some time before. After a lot of 'hell-no' investigations around the strange house, the writer soon discovers that it is possessed by demonic spirits and old friends.
Blood Diner... In this bunk horror-comedy flick, two mentally disturbed and cannibalistic brothers own a diner. In their down time they like to murder young women and diner patrons and have some weird obsession with some kind of ancient god, named Shetar. This movie makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, but I don't think that's what the director was going for anyway. But it's entertaining and something different for a late night Halloween get together.
Eden Lake... For some reason the Brits and Australians know how to make some messed up movies so I wasn't surprised that I found this British horror flick so disturbing. The plot revolves around an English couple who decide to spend a romantic weekend at Eden Lake. While camping out they run into a group of trouble making teenagers... and from there things just go bad pretty quickly. I don't want to give everything away with this one, so I'll just say the most messed up thing about this terrifying movie was its realism.
