August 18th-Risky Business  5/10 Tom Cruise was hot but I was bored most of the time.

Children of the Living Dead 1/10 only gets a one cause Tom Savini is in it. Really who thought this was a good movie? it made less than 0 sense.

August 20th-Once Bitten 5/10 not great not bad kinda funny.

haha yeah but I only have like 6 days before classes start lol so I am trying to watch as many movies as I can

August 22nd-The Fog (original) 4/10 ehh not terrible I guess some of the acting sucked I was mostly bored.

I'm just gonna go ahead and start posting again from today, then at the end of the year I'll do a massive post with everything I've seen!!

Behind The Mask: The Rise Of Leslie Vernon [2006] - First Watch - 7.5/10

I loved that this film paid homage to some of the great slashers of the 80's. It didn't feel like a horror comedy, it felt alightly like satire but more than an appreciation of them, and that is part of the reason I enjoyed it so much. I thought it was clever, original and entertaining enough to keep me totally interested for the duration. Now I find myself wanting to watch it again, which is when I know I've really loved a film.
I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it, and I'm annoyed at myself that I waited so long to see it. I feel like I should do a marathon: F13, NOES, Halloween then this anyone up for a movie night?

The Haunting [1963] - First Watch - 5/10

I saw this on the same day as Behind The Mask and I didn't enjoy it nearly as much. I'm trying to watch some classics along with newer films so I'm doing double bills that don't really fit together lol.

This was okay. I liked the setting and the acting was good, but it just didn't build enough tension for me. I really enjoy slow-paced films but this just felt like it was stalled rather than slow-paced. I wouldn't bother watching it again, it just didn't do enough for me. I did enjoy the ending though, but it wasn't good enough to light up the rest of the film. I generally like older horror but this was just a bit meh.

Shutter [2004] - First Watch - 6/10
This was the original creepy Thai version of Shutter and I thought it was pretty good. I had to watch it in 2 sittings, which kind of destroyed the suspense a little, so I'll probably watch it again all in one go to experience it properly.
I thought the suspense was really well done, by far the best thing about the film, and the medium of the camera to expose the 'ghost' was original and creepy. The backstory was good also, so all in all it was a decent film, but I just didn't find it as scary as people told me it would be, which left me a bit disappointed.
