Happy Halloween!

SILVER SHAMROCK!

I've been preparing for the hour and a half regulated Trick 'r Treating that the town council so humbling allowed and would like to fill in a couple blank spots on my Horror-a-Day Reviews.

Day 26

Movie: Halloween 3

Recap: SILVER SHAMROCK! The infamous Michael-less Halloween film that revolves around an evil mask maker with a stolen piece of Stonehenge looking to kill kids with his evil masks. It's ridiculous, it's preposterous, it's a darn fun watch every time. Not for everyone, but definitely for me.

Grade: B. It's good fun as long as you're not expecting Michael Myers. Pure enjoyable cheese.

Day 27

Movie: The Hills Have Eyes

Recap: I revisited the original Wes Craven film of a vacationing family tortured and attacked by a band of mutants. The film that helped launch B-Movie Legend Michael Berryman's career. Still as gritty as it was before. And one of the horror films where the most likable character is the dog. Go Beast.

Grade: B+. Wes Craven used to have it...now he has Scream 4.

Day 28

Movie: Vacancy

Recap: I originally planned to watch 28 Days Later for the sheer pun of it...but I didn't. So instead, we follow the unlikable couple of Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale as their car breaks down. Left with few options they walk to a nearby hotel and soon discover that it those in charge enjoy filming the rooms. No, not to catch the couples making love, but to catch all the footage of when they break in and kill them. Not wanting to die and all, Luke and Kate look to escape. It's trying to be a thriller in lines of Alfred Hitchcock but misses the mark at times.

Grade: B-. Worthy of a view if it sounds interesting, but don't expect to be blown away.
