He wants to kill someone else but this time, he doesn't want to get caught. He walks around town, into a diner and looks at some local girls but considers it too big a risk to attack them. He gets a taxi and tries to attack the female driver but she throws him out. He ends up running through the woods. He finds a house there. It looks like nobody is home. Of course, he breaks in. He sees a man in a wheelchair. Just then, a car pulls up outside. It seems the owners are coming back. A woman and her daughter enter.
He tackles the daughter first and ties her up. Then he turns his attention to the mother. She fights him and gets away but he catches her and ties her up too. The daughter tries to free herself and the disabled man crawls up the stairs. He gets caught by the killer who drowns him in the bath. He unties the mother and sees that she is not well. The daughter tells him that her mother needs medicine. He makes her get it. He is intent on keeping the mother alive as he has plans for her. He shoves the pills into her mouth. She is dead. The daughter tries to run away, but it is in vain. He stabs her and kills her. He has sex with her corpse. He wanders around outside into the daylight. He discovers their car and he gets the keys. He puts the dead bodies into the car and cleans himself up. He wants more victims. He intends to show them the dead bodies to scare them before he kills them.
He takes their dog with him and he heads into town where he crashes into another car. People start looking at him. He starts to go crazy. He speeds off and he finds family pictures in the car. He drives to a petrol station and he sees the girls he saw earlier in the diner. He goes inside to get food. The police come and look at his car. They want his registration and he has to open the trunk. The movie ends with a doctor saying that the killer had it all planned. He is a sadist but he is not mentally ill.It stems from a bad childhood. He is sentenced to life in prison.
This film is a tough watch at times. It contains quite a lot of violence. It is very bleak also. Saying that, it was interesting and I did enjoy watching it. It had been on my list for quite a while and I am glad that I finally watched it. The killer in this has no redeeming qualities. He is a total psycho and he deserves to rot in prison. The guy who plays him looks kind of weird already, so this makes it easier to believe that he is a sicko. So, this film is a harrowing, realistic experience and I recommend it. Just be warned that it is pretty graphic!I will give it a 5/10.
Terror Train is a 1980 horror movie directed by Roger Spottiswoode and starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Ben Johnson, Hart Bochner and David Copperfield. The movie starts with a group of college students who play a prank on a guy called Kenny. They set him up with a girl but it all goes wrong and he loses his sanity and gets sent to an institution. Three years later, all of the college kids are going to have a New Year's party on a train. These are the same college kids who set up Kenny. One of the group gets killed before he can board the train and replaced by the unknown killer. There is also a magician(Copperfield) on the train with his assistant. A girl called Alana(Curtis) is going on the train but she isn't happy because it reminds her of what happened to Kenny three years ago. She feels guilty about it. The leader of the group is called Doc(Bochner). Alana is dating his friend, Mo(Timothy Webber). The others are Jackson(Anthony Sherwood) and Mitchy(Sandee Currie).
There is a conductor on the train called Carne(Johnson) and he has porters with him, as well and the driver. The killings continue with Jackson meeting his demise in the bathroom. The conductor sees the dead body but when he shows others, the body has been moved. The killer is wandering around in the lizard outfit that Jackson was wearing.The conductor thinks that it was a prank and moves on. The others are murdered by the killer, who is mixing with the party goers. The conductor tells Alana that her friend Mitchy is dead. She doesn't believe him until she sees the dead body. The two of them know that there is a killer on board. The driver goes missing. The conductor has to take everyone off of the train and find the killer. Everyone disembarks while the conductor looks for the killer. There is nobody there. Alana thinks that it is Kenny coming back for revenge.
Then they wonder if the magician could be the killer. They lock him into a train car. Carne goes to have it out with him. The killer comes for Alana. He chases her and he tries to kill her. She manages to stab him. There is a struggle and she tries to push him off the train. He is still hanging on. They think that the killer is dead. Alana goes to lie down after her ordeal. The magician's body is discovered, so it wasn't him. It turns out that the killer was the magician's assistant. It was Kenny dressed up as a woman. He was hiding in plain sight. He is crazy and he wants revenge. He forces Alana to kiss him and he totally loses it. Carne saves the day by pushing him out of the train and into a freezing river, where he meets his death.
This is a fun slasher movie. I think that it is one of the better entries from the 1980's. I liked the premise of the killer on a train. It was original and the cast were pretty good. The movie is what you would expect from a slasher film, but I found it entertaining. I liked it on the whole and I would definitely recommend it for slasher fans and fans of 1980's horror movies. There is an interesting cameo from David Copperfield and of course Jamie Lee Curtis is decent as the lead. I don't hear much about this film when people discuss 1980's horror, but it should be there as it is a good movie. I will give it a 6/10.

She plans on killing Alan, so she is the one who is the schizo after all....
This was an entertaining thriller/horror. I liked the main cast and the story was interesting. I did see the ending coming but it was still good. There are some creepy moments and there is plenty of blood in this one. It started off like a stalker movie, but it ended up as something quite different. Samantha ends up being the psychopath, but Haskin is one also, so it is hard to feel sorry for either of them. If you enjoy 1970's horror, then this is well worth a watch. I will give it a 6/10.
The Green Inferno is a 2013 horror movie directed by Eli Roth and starring Lorenza Izzo. The movie begins with students in college.

Justine returns home and she tells everyone that the tribe were friendly for some reason and the film ends. There is a mid credits scene where Alejandro is seen in the village and he is painted.
This was a pretty good film. It has certainly been inspired by the likes of Cannibal Holocaust. It is brutal in parts and there is a decent amount of gore. The story is what you would expect. Some do gooders wander into the forest and get themselves in a lot of trouble. They get captured and all sorts of horror ensues. If you like cannibal movies, then this will satisfy you. It isn't the best film by any means, but I found it entertaining. I liked it and I thought that it was interesting. I am not really into cannibal movies, but this was fun overall and I enjoyed it. I will give it a 5/10.

I liked this film. The story was interesting and the cast were good too. The dolls were creepy with their beady eyes following everyone! This was produced by Charles Band, who we all know from the Puppetmaster series and it stars Guy Rolfe who played Andre Toulon in those films too!! Overall, this was a lot of fun and I would certainly recommend it to fans of doll movies and 80's horror. I will give it a 6/10.

Marion ends up getting a lift in the black car. Was it all real? The film ends with someone finding a note written by Frank at the scene. We are left wondering was it all real or was it part of the dream....
This was a weird film. The story was odd but that isn't a bad thing at all. I watched this because Ray Wise was in it and I always enjoy his performances. The cast were fine in this. The story was unusual and the twist was not unexpected. I figured it out, but the ending leaves you with the idea that it was real after all. It was a decent thriller/horror movie. I enjoyed it and there were some eerie scenes. I recommend this one and I will give it a 6/10.

He grabs Davey and he tells him that he will come back and he will get him in the future. He leaves Davey there. Someone finds him and helps him. The movie ends with Mackey still on the loose and Davey waiting for him to return and kill him.
This was a fun film. It was like The Goonies, but a much darker version. It starts out as a mystery film, but as time goes on, it gets a bit darker and the ending makes it more like a thriller. The open ending is interesting also. I enjoyed this a lot. It was set in the 1980's which I really liked and the story was quite fun. I enjoyed the nostalgic feel to this and all in all, it was well worth my time. I definitely recommend it if you haven't seen it already. I will give it a 7/10.

This was a fun film. I liked the story about La Llorona and there was lots happening in this. The cast did a good job and I liked the three lead characters. The Fr. Gomez character was a little dubious in parts, but he came good in the end !! I liked the ending too. I would certainly recommend this. It is a low budget horror movie but it is well worth a watch. I enjoyed it!! If you would like to see this, you can get it on Amazon Prime.
I want to explore the movie posters that I really like and there is no better way than to start with my favourite film- Psycho. I find some of these posters really great. I love the artwork and it adds to the fun! I don't think there is any need to explain about Psycho as most people will have seen it or at least heard of it, so I won't go into that here. I have chosen a few posters that I like from different countries. The first one will be very familiar to everyone. I like the yellow lettering and it was the original theatrical poster.
My next one is from Spain and I think it's a great one. I like the shot of the house and I think that the shot of Anthony Perkins is better than the first poster.
This Italian poster is very interesting, I think.I love the shot of the hands coming out to grab her and it makes the film look more like a horror movie.
The last poster I have picked out is this Alfred Hitchcock one. I love these old posters and this makes me smile.
So, I hope that you have enjoyed my pick of Psycho posters. I know there are so many that I could show, but that would take too much time. I like these four and I look forward to showing you many more as I go through all of my favourites!

This film was quite entertaining. It got a bit slow in the middle, but it picked up near the end. The cast were good and it was good 80's fun. The zombies were so so but I can let that go. I hadn't heard of this film before when I came upon it and it was certainly worth a watch. The setting of the mausoleum was interesting. It was fun seeing Adam West in this. Meg Tilly is young here, but she plays her part well. All in all, this is enjoyable so give it a chance if you like 80's horror. I will give it a 5/10.

I really liked this film. It was a lot of fun and there were some great scenes with the crocodile. It had a good story and I liked the monster croc. It had a good cast too including John Jarratt! This is a pretty straightforward movie. I mean, it is a story of man versus crocodile but it works very well. I had a good time watching this and I highly recommend it. I enjoyed it a lot. I will give it an 8/10.

This is a weird film. Really weird. Stuff just happens for no reason and the whole thing is very strange. I liked parts of it and there were some creepy scenes,but this is not a great film. It is watchable but the acting is bad and sometimes, it was just silly. Having said that, it was one that I had on my list for quite a while and I am glad that I got around to watching it. Despite the flaws, this is not a bad way to spend 90 minutes. It is a ghost story at heart so I would recommend it as such. I will give this one a 5/10.
The Beast Must Die is a 1974 horror movie directed by Paul Annett and starring Peter Cushing, Michael Gambon, Calvin Lockhart, Charles Gray and Anton Diffring. A man is being chases by a helicopter. There are cameras everywhere. He is caught and he is shot. A group of people see it. It is not real. It is just a trick. The man is called Tom(Lockhart) and hie a millionaire. He has microphones and cameras installed in his house and the grounds. A man called Pavel(Diffring) installed them. Tom talks to the group of people. He has invited them to his house for a reason. They are all suspected of doing things that are bad. They are Arthur(Gray) who is a diplomat, Paul Foote(Tom Chadbon) who is just out of prison, Professor Lundgren(Cushing) who is a werewolf expert and Jan Gilmore(Gambon) who is a pianist and his wife Davina(Ciaran Madden). Tom has his wife Caroline(Marlene Clark) with him also. Tom tells them that one of them is a werewolf and he wants to find out who it is.
Lundgren talks about werewolves and he explains how a werewolf comes into being. Jan hands around a silver candlestick to smoke out the werewolf. Lundgren says that there needs to be wolfs bane growing in the area. Tom has it in his greenhouse. Someone tries to kill him. That night, it is a full moon. Tom brings in his wolfs bane and he and Pavel wait to see what will happen. They see something on the camera. Tom goes after it. It goes inside the house and Tom comes back in and finds Pavel dead. He has been killed by the werewolf. Tom looks around for his suspect, Paul, but he is asleep. Davina decides she wants to leave with Jan. Tom disables their car and all of the cars. He cuts off the telephones. He is acting crazy. Tom is obsessed with finding the werewolf. Paul goes missing. Tom gets into his helicopter and goes looking for him. He sees the werewolf. It fights with the dog and it kills the pilot. Tom shoots at it. He is sure that it is Paul.
Tom hands everyone a silver bullet to put into their mouths. It turns out that his wife Caroline, has been turned into a werewolf.. She was infected by the dog who was also bitten. Paul gets killed. The mystery hasn't been solved. Who is the werewolf??? Tom is stalking it. He sees it and follows it. He has one silver bullet left in his gun. There is a fight and Tom manages to kill it. It turns out that the werewolf was....Jan! There is a little snag, though. Tom has been infected!!! The film ends with Tom shooting himself as he does not want to be a werewolf.
This was a very entertaining film. I enjoyed the mystery and trying to work out who the werewolf was. The cast were great and the premise was interesting to me. This is a fun horror movie from Amicus who are better known for their anthologies. Cushing does his job well and I liked Lockhart in his role as Tom. All in all, this is a good horror movie and a mystery also. I would certainly recommend it. I will give it a 7/10.
