Earlier, I promised that yuou would see my list of what I think are the most overrated Horror Movies ever. Well, here's my list. -Friday the 13th Part 4-I never got the love for this one. Sure, it's got some nice kills, but it's also not the best of the series (I think that would have to be Part 2). Plus, Jason is killed by Cory Feldman. Seriously, of all the people, why him? -The Lost Boys-Everyone seems to love this one but me. Sure, it has it's moments, but compared to "From Dusk Till Dawn" or "Near Dark" (which came out that year), it's inferior. Check out "Near Dark" instead, which is considered a horror classic for good reasons. -Cannibal Holocaust-Whether or not it inspired Blair Witch is beyond the point: this one is not as good as it's reputation says it is. Sure, the score is nice, and it is disturbing at times, but for the most part it fails due to some weak gore and the fact that it tries so hard to shock you, that you just grow bored. Then there's the whole "I wonder who the real savages are" ending which is forced and contrived. Seriously, this movie condemning sensationalism while wallowing in rape, tortue, and animal mutilation is pretty hypocritical. -Zombi 2-Lucio Fulci's gorefest is actually kind of a bore. While the good parts work, the movie is mostly really talky and boring. To those who say it's better than Romero's zombie movies: Romero's Zombie movies have interesting characters you sympathize for, have much better acting, are more professional, have a plot you can follow, and are better than this movie could ever be. Oh, and there's the fact that some talk about the film pulling off social commentary. To those who think that: Fulci always thought that such things didn't belong in his movies/ -April Fools Day-It's ironic that so many horror fans hate "Scream" but love this movie, which is more self aware, and thinks that it's smarter than it's audience. I will agree that the sequals to Scream (and the many knock offs) do fall for that trap. -NOES 3-I have to admit, I only liked the first NOES movies. I personally think that once Freddy started saying one liners and such, the series began to suck. To this day, the popularity of this movie alludes me.

And you are proof of it's wretchedness.

Remember the album released in 1991 by Nintendo that had songs from Jellyfish, Crosby, Stillls, and Nash, Flesh for Lulu, Bombshell, Trixter, Sheena Easton, Dire Straits, Roy Orbison, Alias, Dire Straits, and Britny Fox called "White Knuckle Scorin'"? Well they do.

Come on WP, do it and quit being such a pussy. I now it most likely won't happen, but if it does, then let it fucking happen.

I knew it: Bush is into scat.

Personally, I don't see what the big deal is with "The Eye". Sure, it's got some good moments, but it also has a dreadfully tacked on romatic sublot and sentimentality, as well as a weak ending.

Update on Feast: It will get an unrated DVD treatment on October 17th after it's brief midnight run. Because the Weinsteins are clueless when it comes to marketing horror movies.

That's what I felt like doing after reading this.

Some kid on Myspace kills his mom.

Once again, I'm glad I don't have a myspace account. Also, I actually agree with Leena. -
I was always a sucker for Jerry Lynn's J.L. character.

Redman's video for I'll Bee Dat is one of my favorite Hip-Hop videos ever. How could anybody hate this? I never liked Queensryche. I know a dude who loves them, and thinks that "Operation Mindcrime" is one of the best albums ever. Also, my brother calls them "the kings of the mullet"

This might be my favorite picture of Leena that she's used in her avatar.

-Well, it seems logical, but after the remake of "Dawn of The Dead", it's follow up/sequal will be a remake of "Day of the Dead". It seems like James Gunn Will have nothing to do with this one, and it will be directed by Steve ("Friday the 13th part 2", "Lake Placcid") will direct. The movie will star Ving Rhames (who won't be reprising his role in the "Dawn" remake) as Captain Rhodes, Mena Suvari as Sarah, and (ugh) Nick Cannon. -A while back, I mentioned that a movie version of Jack Ketchum's acclaimed (and excellent) novel "The Girl Next Door" was underway. Well, it seems like casting has begun. Anyways, Mae ("Arrested Developement","Thief","Avatar: The Last Airbender") Whitman will play the tortured and abused title character, while Blanche ("Sixteen Candles") will play the abusive Aunt Ruth, and Daniel Manche will play the boy who befriends the girl, and witnesses her torture. -After "Hostel 2", Eli Roth will be directing an adaptation of Stephen King's novel "Cell". The book deals with a zombie like outbreak caused by cell phones. On a lesser note, I don't have a cell phone. -The website for the upcoming animated Hellboy movie is up. Ron Perlman and Selma Blair will reprise their roles. It should debut on Cartoon Network sometime this year. -In Masters of Horror news, Jeffrey Combs has been comfirmed to play Poe in Stuart Gordon's episode, which is an adaptation of "The Black Cat". Also, Gordon's new movie "Edmand", which is an adaptation of David Mamet's play, is in limited release right now, and stars William H. Macy, Julia Stiles, Denise Richards, Bai Ling, and Mena Suvari. His next directorial efforts will include "House of Re-Animator" and an upcoming movie for the new version of Amicus studios. -Ti West's directorial debut "The Roost" (which I have mentioned before) will come to DVD on October 3rd. Also, "Slither" comes to DVD on October 24th. -The 3-D remake of "Night of The Living Dead" wwill open in 1,500 theatres on November 10th. Unfortunately, Romero has nothing to do with it. -Finally, it seems like Jessica Alba will star in an remake of the Chinese horror movie "The Eye". Lions Gate will be releasing it, and it will be directed by David Moreau and Xavier Palud, who have recently gotten festival attention and praise for their movie "ILS"
