The Boneyard (1991)

The Boneyard (1991) was quite awful. 🤣 It starts off incredibly slow and takes forever to pick up, and the dialogue (filled with gratuitous confessional-style oversharing) is ridiculous. Notttt quality cinema. Despite all that, the sfx makeup was awesome. Well, in some scenes it was crap, but the zombie children were really freaky and awesome looking!! In many horror movies, the creatures sort of lurk in the shadows, so you are always more afraid of your imagination than of whatever's on the screen. Not so here, the undead kiddos hold up to scrutiny in full view. (Perhaps unsurprising, considering James Cummins started his career in special effects and only later dabbled in directing.) This movie maybe gets some points for pure absurdity, but this is surely one to drunkenly heckle with your mates.

Uzumaki / Spiral (2000)

Uzumaki / Spiral (2000) was pretty bad. Some of the scenes were neat, and it's a cool premise - a town driven mad by spirals - but weak acting, bad effects, and really bad editing doom this film. The way it's cut now, it ends up just feeling silly, but I think a clever editor could actually take this existing film and re-cut it to be more effective and actually frightening... or maybe it just needs a remake.

Out of the Dark / Wui Wan Yeh (1995)

Out of the Dark / Wui Wan Yeh (1995) -- very silly. 😝 Stephen Chow, so we had high hopes,  but this ended up being VERY goofy, and long.

Prom Night II (1987)

Nicole and Michael joined us for Prom Night II (1987), a campy supernatural slasher. The 80s is easily my favorite decade for horror, and although this movie was pretty goofy at times, there were some very neat effects, including a totally awesome classroom scene (who knew chalkboards could be so frightening?).

A Chinese Ghost Story (1987)

A Chinese Ghost Story (1987) was very silly,  but it did have a few awesome scenes. They really let the fog machine guy go hogwild with this one. 😂 Lovely, flowing costuming for knockout Joey Wong.

Child's Play (1988)

Saw Child's Play (1988) for the first time. My favorite decade for horror, which is prob why I didn't hate it as much as I thought I would (grr Chucky's stupid face... 🤣) but this movie was... very silly, to say the least. 😅 Also sad, that poor kid was treated terribly by all the adults. Altho what a tough little kid! Phantasm vibes.

Snakes on A Plane (2006)

Mm Snakes on A Plane - best movie or worst movie? Impossible to decide 😂🐍✈️

Vamps (2012)

Ultra-girly vampires who abstain from human blood fall in love and get involved in wacky highjinks. A few good laughs, by turns kooky and maudlin. 1.5/5 blood drops.

Ju-On The Grudge (2002)

 Ju-On The Grudge was surprisingly scary, despite the silly effects.

Tucker and Dale Versus Evil (2010)

Tucker and Dale Versus Evil (2010): silly twist on the trope of murderous hillbillies. Thought it was ridiculous but not bad to wash dishes by.
