"The Blair Witch Project" ~ 1999
Netflix description = Three student filmmakers march into the woods to make a documentary about a fabled witch credited with a string of murders dating back 200 years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yet another movie that I consider a classic. I saw this in the theatre when it first came out, and while it is not gory, the creepy factor does its job. The hand held camera gives the "found footage" shakiness that we now expect. I think its a fun storyline and plays with the imagination. Worth the watch!
My score 3/5

This was a fun haunted house / ghost story. No gore but plenty of shadow play and emphasis on creepy. The storyline is fun and well told with a couple good twists at the end. Overall, good movie and certainly worth the watch!

"Summers Moon (Summers Blood)" ~ 2009
Netflix description = While visiting a rural town to find a father shes never met, a girl falls into a deranged serial killers trap and frantically struggles to stay alive.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was not my first time watching this movie but I still thoroughly enjoyed it! The storyline is strong with several twists and turns down to the final scene. The character development is also very strong in the sense that you get "to know" the characters as they unravel before you. Definitely worth the watch!!

"Contracted" ~ 2013
"Contracted" ~ 2013
Netflix description = After a one night stand, a young woman becomes alarmingly ill - - but what she thinks is a sexually transmitted disease turns out to be far worse.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This movie was incredibly disturbing and left you with not only unanswered questions, but a lingering affect about the true storyline, beneath the horror movie shell. I can't truly say I liked it, however any movie that leaves you thinking about it for days, deserves due credit.

"Mum and Dad" ~ 2008
Netflix description = Lena accepts a ride with her cheerful co-worker Birdie only to find herself knocked unconscious and imprisoned by a deranged family of murderers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was one of the more twisted movies that I have seen in quite a while, and coming from me thats pretty high praise. The storyline was... intriguing and certainly entertaining. Basically good movie, definitely worth the watch, but be prepared for a couple shockers!

"Urban Legends: Final Cut" ~ 2000
"Urban Legends: Final Cut" ~ 2000
Netflix description = When Amy makes a film about urban legends, a faceless killer quickly thins her cast and the lines between fact and fiction becomes hopelessly blurred.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Even though this movie takes place in a College setting, this is still a classic series that I feel fits fits the "teen scream" genre. Like its predecessors I enjoyed this movie a lot. Lots or gore and of course the creativity and the who dunnit aspect. Overall a very good, fun, campy movie. Definitely worth the watch!!

"Night of the Living Dead" ~ 1990
Netflix description = This revamp of the black and white original brings to lurid color the tale of a band of small town folks surrounded by an army of walking dead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was truly a good zombie movie! For being a remake they kept it almost as the original with some extra gore and carnage. Ig a fan of the original, you won't be disappointed. Certainly worth the watch!!

"Creepshow 2" ~ 1982
Netflix description = Join the rotting but amiable Creep as he introduces this anthology of three gruesome tales written by the master of horror, Stephen King.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It may be old school, but I still love this movie! Again the short film, analogy movies are often my favorites. The three shorts are all good stories, my personal favorite being "The Raft". Also the backs story enclosing the shorts is fun with its own entertaining ending. Overall just a fun movie! Go watch!!
