"Childs Play 2: Chucky's Back" ~ 1990
*** I guess Netflix decided I needed to revisit some older classics :) ***
Netflix description = After Chucky's last rampage, the killer dolls manufacturer tries to salvage its reputation by reconstructing Chucky. But in doing, it resurrects the soul of the homicidal Charles Lee Ray, who immediately returns to his murderous ways.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It seems like forever since I had seen this, so it was like new. Still a fun watch even though the graphics are now laughable - - but then again who watches "Chucky" movies for anything more than a fantastic cheexy horror! Worth rewatching if its been a while! Hidee ho!

"11/11/11"
"11/11/11" ~ 2011
Netflix description = In this chilling horror movie, Melissa and Jack - - once an ordinary couple - - watch in shock as their son slowly morphs into a hellish harbinger of the apocalypse, set to engulf the earth on the devils boys own birthday 11-11-11.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was way, way different than the other 11-11-11 movie that I watched recently. In fact other than the title is was almost completely different. With this one centered around the young boy turning 11 on 11-11-11. I really enjoyed the telling of the story, and the character development. Very little gore, still a fun watch!!

Netflix description = Dressed as "Satan's Little Helper" from his favorite video game, Douglas goes trick - or - treating and meets a man dressed as the monstrous boss from the game. Douglas offers to be his assistant, unaware that the masked man is really a serial killer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I must confessed to have watched this a few times before, but I really enjoy this movie. Its cheesy and campy and just simplistic dark humor. The pure silliness and stupidity of the characters makes this overall just a highly entertaining movie that you should go watch!!

Netflix description = After the death of his wife and child, and author travels to Barcelona to see his estranged brother and dying father. Once there, re realizes that the events plaguing his life are all related to the upcoming date of 11/11/11.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was a good thriller movie, though I'm not sure it would rank in horror, but none the less still a really good movie. The storyline was well told and enough different than all the other "Eleven" movies and a few twists to make it even more entertaining. One of the best 11 movies I've seen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was so cheesy and campy, but a fun watch! The storyline was played (I think) to be silly. The acting is terrible, but there is something about it that actually held my attention. Id say worth the watch, even if as the background noise that you watch while doing other things :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Im going to guess that this made a made for tv thriller, but it was a good one. Elijah Wood plays creepy psycho guy much better than I was expecting. It is kind of a bizarre storyline, but that's what kept in interesting. Good background noise...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So I am the first to admit that generally I am not so much of an Asian Horror, but part of this venture is watching all good / bad etc in order that Netflix gives me. I have found some pretty good movies that I may how not have watched otherwise. This movie surprised me, in that I found it to be a pretty good ghost story. The storyline was well told, and enough creepy moments, and shadow jumps to keep you watching. Worth the watch :)

I have enjoyed this series as it has progressed, but this is my favorite. I don't know if it is classified as a cult classic, to me it is. :) One thing I really liked about the movie, is you did not have to play the video game to understand it. Over all, its a good story with lots of action and zombie gore. Worth the watch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was a low budget B-movie through and through. The acting is beyond terrible and the storyline seems so cliche. However as the movie continues the twists and backstory it becomes a fun watch. Even with all the "flaws" I still enjoyed this and say its worth watching. Just don't expect good acting lol
My score 3/5 (redeemed itself 3/4 through to make it to average)

This movie was a lot like "Severance" but without the blatant comedy, and actually (IMO) a better movie. There were quite a few twists and turns but in general a really good story. I like the relationships between the characters, and of course a few good kill scenes. Worth the watch!!

"Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn"
"Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn" ~ 1987
Netflix description = Stranded in a cabin in the woods, Ash and his girlfriend accidentally invoke a spell that causes the evil dead to rise and Kill! As the lone man pitted against hordes of waling corpses, can Ash survive until the safety of sunrise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I think of "Evil Dead" movies, this is the one I always think of first. I actually thought it was the first one, until rewatching "Evil Dead" earlier this year. This move is so campy, lots of gore, and of course our hero Ash. End result is a perfect combination for a cult classic. If for whatever reason you haven't watched this movie before, go do it! Remember its campy fun and enjoy!!
My score 3.5/5

"Night of the living dead: Reanimation"
"Night of the Living Dead: Reanimation" ~ 2012
Netflix description = After inheriting a funeral home, a mortician accidentally exposes hundreds of uncreamated bodies to toxic waste, causing them to rise from the dead. When the mans inheritance seeking brother shows up, the two must fight off a full zombie outbreak.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I like zombie movies, however this one was so full and overdone cliches that I found myself almost bored at times. It was a good, average film but nothing memorable.
My score 2.5/5

"Halloween Night"
"Halloween Night" ~ 2006
Netflix description = In this gory chiller based on real events, a teens Halloween bash is spoiled -- but becomes eerily authentic -- when lunatic Chris Vale escapes from an asylum and returns to his childhood home, which happens to be party central.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You know how sometimes all you want is just a good old fashioned gory slasher film, well this is it! Im a little unsure about the "based on real events" part, but still great fun! The storyline itself was good, and again in true bad slasher form lots of gore and gratuitous titties. lol Definitely worth the watch!

"Terror Trap"
"Terror Trap" ~ 2010
Netflix description = In a classic case of cinematic bad luck, a young couple on a weekend trip run into car trouble near a small southern town. They soon learn they'll have to spend the night there before they can get it repaired. Luckily (or not) there's a hotel...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was a fun, average horror movie. I guess the ones that I refer to as background noise movies. Still a fun watch, but not edge of your seat stuff. This film in particular had so many cliches rolled into one, and still made it work! There were a couple of interesting twists to keep things interesting, overall an enjoyable watch.
My score 3/5

"Cornered!"
"Cornered" ~ 2008
Netflix description = Suspense and black humor blend as a serial killer stalks Los Angeles convenience marts, where he tortures and slays the occupants. When store owner Steve and his buddies begin a poker game on night the stakes are higher than they can imagine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was a super fun movie! I usually enjoy the dark comedies and this was no exception! The storyline gives away who the serial killer is fairly early on, building a strange sense of anticipation with each new victim. Also the character development is so well done, you feel a knowing connection with each person. In short... a really good movie that you should go watch!!
My score 4/5
"The Reeds"
"The Reeds" ~ 2009
Netflix description = When a group of friends boating through Norfolk Broads takes a wrong turn in the dense, reedy waters, they find themselves haunted by a terrifying ancient evil. It soon becomes clear they are no match for the malevolent forces that lurk in the waterway.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was a very interesting movie, that took a sharp turn into the unexpected. From that point on its a series of mind tweaks that left me feeling a tad confused at the end. I enjoyed this movie, but I feel I need to watch it again to make better sense of it all.

"The Graves" ~ 2010
Netflix description = When sisters Megan and Abby Graves go on a road trip before recent college graduate Megan starts a new job in New York. Their fun search for a silly road side attraction turns into a nightmare when they stumble into evil skull city.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I really enjoyed this movie. The relationship between the sisters is so believable with the character development give, that you can't help but root for them. Usually Im on the bad guys side lol. This was in general a good story with enough twists to keep you guessing. It starts a little slow, but worth the watch!
