Yeah I know you guys don't care about adult book reports, but who gives a fuck.

* Sweet 16 (1983): Wanted to see this obscure slasher for a while. Beginning and ending are slasher excellence; the rest of the movie is more of a TV film but it's still entertaining.
* Death Metal Zombies: Enjoyably stupid SOV film from the 90s SOV wave. This one actually kind of works as a legitimate horror movie, has a good death metal soundtrack, and is very, very endearing.
* Torture Dungeon: My first real foray into the twisted world of Andy Milligan. A lot of fun and the heroine is hot and can't keep her clothes on.
* All About Evil: Weirdo queer/camp horror movie with Natasha Lyonne that's an homage to the low budget gore comedies of 1960s and 1970s of HG Lewis, Andy Milligan, and John Waters.

Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural (1973)
Exceptionally weird vampire (sorta) movie that's part of the 1970s/early 80s American regional independent horror boom. Part Night of the Hunter, part Suspiria. Weird story about an innocent, beautiful young girl who is a devout Christian who gets summoned to a strange town to see her fugitive mobster father, and gets involved with werewolves (who act more like zombies) and vampires.
This is a weird one, folks, and not one I can wholly recommend--it's much too accomplished and effective to be relegated to MST3K style trash, but it manages to be ponderous and confusing despite a quick run time, so I can't really recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant genre experience, even an offbeat one. That said, I'm glad I watched it, and I'll watch it again, I'm sure, but...it's strange. And God bless it.

I really enjoy Nigel Kneale's work and its distinctive blend of supernatural horror and rational science fiction; Quatermass and the Pit is one of the most 'me' movies of all time.
This isn't quite as good as that, but it's still extremely good and creepy, if a little bit slow at first. It plays out like an X-Files mytharc episode, with a tireless truthseeker running up against a malevolent extraterrestrial conspiracy that seems to have the support of the government.

have you seen Apartment 7A yet?
not a huge fan of the story.
thought the Minnie and Roman imitations were fantastic... except the behavior of Minnie was slightly off, and not in a good way.

The first ten minutes or so are pretty bad early 2000s low budget horror (the acting is pretty rough, especially from the lead), but nothing involving Stuart Gordon + HP Lovecraft is ever wholly worthless, and there's a lot to like here. Great production design, with a sense of unrelenting, damp bleakness that matches the storyline. The CGI effects are mostly wretched (this is a low budget horror picture from 2001, so what do you expect) but the practical effects are great. Lots of gore and nudity, too.
Also, if you've ever wished they made a movie out of Resident Evil 4, this is basically that, but with fishmen instead of zombies.

Quick funny. I'm a grandfather now and have two daughters. When one was in college, I was visiting her in college to drop off some stuff and helping out with a Halloween party and I met her roommate.
She was wearing stockings, and when I realized that she was, I didn't look at her. At all. My daughter saw that I was uncomfortable but quickly figured out why. She then did everything in her power to make me more uncomfortable. Truly rotten of her.
When I gave her a silent message/communicating that I hated her and I knew what she was doing... blah, blah, blah. At the end, when she hugged me, she whispered in my ear that she was getting even for some of the rotten things I did to embarrass her when she discovered boys.
That genuinely made me a proud dad that she was that evil. She is a rotten kid, and I love her for it.

Mid 70s movie that's a pretty straightforward retelling of the Ed Gein story. It's straight up exploitation but has an element of, if not class, competence to it. It helps that, compared to the facts of the Gein case, anything else comes across as *less* sensational.
Ezra Cobb, the Ed Gein stand-in, is played by cult actor Roberts Blossom--probably best known to us as the old man in Home Alone(!).

Lesser Mario Bava movie that caps off a lot of the European Gothic horror he and others churned out during the 1960s (with increasingly gruesome results). College kid goes to his ancestral home in Austria and accidentally on purpose revives the spirit of his sadistic ancestor. It's more of a Saturday afternoon timekiller than anything substantial, but it looks great (the cinematography is always good in Bava), the cast is fun, and it's a stylish but low-key mix of Gothic and giallo. Grisly in a fun horror-comic kind of way, but not actually very sleazy.
Not a waste of time, but nothing here that Bava didn't do better either in the realm of the Gothic (Black Sunday) or the giallo (Bay of Blood).

sounds a bit like Malpertuis, a 1971 horror film which also features a young man also trying to find his ancestral home and getting sucked into a bizarre world of mythological creatures.

it's well-done, but more of a fantasy film than 'straight' horror.
