Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Re-Animator (1985)

P to S

• Paradise Lost (2006) - Surprisingly sympathy-inducing antagonists; nothing special but worth a watch. [7/10]
• Possum (2018) - Thought it'd be funny like Garth Marenghi's Darkplace...it is not funny. It's really fucking disturbing. [7/10]
• Prevenge (2016) - Talking of Darkplace, Alice Lowe is awesome in this film. [8/10]
• Pyewacket (2017) - Soundtrack's great and the creature had me flailing my hand at the TV because it moves like a spider with broken limbs. [8/10]
• Queen of Blood (1966) - Humans are dumb and are asking to get killed by aliens at this point. [5/10]
• Rabid (1977) - Men ruin everything. [6/10]
• Re-Animator (1985) - 'Giving head' has a whole new meaning. [8/10]
• REC (2007) - I will never get over that shot of the dude swandiving down the staircase. Chills. [9/10]
• Ringu (1988) - Hiroyuki Sanada is a snacc. [8/10]
• Roadkill (2011) - Low budget the house down, mama. [3/10]
• Rubber (2010) - Meta and interesting but thinks it's a lot more clever than it actually is. [6/10]
• Scarred (2005) - Stupid and predictable. [4/10]
• Scream Bloody Murder (1972) - WHY WOULD YOU KILL THE DOG, HE WAS BEING A GOOD BOY [7/10]
• Se7en (1995) - The Sloth victim scene. Jesus H. Christ. [8/10]
• Seventh Moon (2008) - Annoyingly, the design of the demons is really cool and there's a largely inclusive cast, but the first two acts are just despairingly slow. [5/10]
• Severance (2006) - Wouldn't be worth shit if Danny Dyer wasn't in it. [7/10]
• Silent Night, Bloody Night (1972) - A layered and interesting narrative that was poorly delivered: it could do with the good ol' remake treatment. [7/10]
• Sinister (2012) - Another horror film with such an iconic opener. [7/10]
• Skew (2011) - The poor sfx detract from the pacing and quality, plus the script feels unfinished. [6/10]
• Sleepy Hollow (1999) - I miss Christopher Lee, man. [7/10]
• Slither (2006) - Impressively gross body horror. [6/10]
• Some Kind of Hate (2015) - With gore as good as this, you'd think it'd be a decent film, but unfortunately the writing is entirely too problematic in that it glorifies self-harm. [5/10]
• Splinter (2008) - Hollow, lacks substance and the pacing is weak-sauce. Disappointing body horror. [5/10]
• Stigmata (1999) - How 90s can we make this set design? [6/10]
• Suspiria (1977) - Argento's magnum opus: beautiful colours, ambience, music...just stunning. [8/10]
• Switchblade Romance (2003) - The subversion of tropes is fabulous but the subtextual demonisation of a queer-coded, mentally ill character is uh...not great. [8/10]
