Horror Harbour's 30 Day Horror Challenge
 836  7.5  7.5 Day 1: A memorable animal in a horror movie
 A more cultivated person would probably go for the great white shark from Jaws or the birds from The Birds. But all I could think about was the rat monkey from Brain Dead. That thing is fucking hilarious. ranna's rating:
 
2479 6.6 7.2 Day 2: One of your earliest encounters with the horror genre
 I saw Gremlins for the first time on a Christmas break when I was about 6 or 7. It totally made my holidays. ranna's rating:
 
1325 7.4 7.5 Day 3: A favorite saw or chainsaw scene
 I fell like Captain Obvious here, but the final scene from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is absolutely epic. ranna's rating:
 
1578 7.1 7.5 Day 4: A great horror movie doctor
 Poor doctor Seth Brundle. ranna's rating:
1294 7.9 8 Day 5: Favorite horror director
 George A. Romero hasn't really brought his A game in the recent years, but the guy is still a genius. With a pair of killa' frames. ranna's rating:
1211 7.8 8 Day 6: Your favorite movie by your favorite director
 The best zombie movie ever made. ranna's rating:
2003 6.5 7.1 Day 9: A boring horror movie
 I still haven't forgiven my friends for dragging me into this watered down PG-13 JJ Abrams piece of garbage. It pains me to even call this crapfest a "horror movie". ranna's rating:
 
604 6.1 6.5 Day 10: An instant classic
 A wonderful modernized and intentionally cheesy homage to the classic 1980's horror comedies. Great practical gore effects, hilariously over the top dialogue and a main character called Grant Grant. What's not to love? ranna's rating:
168 7.1 6.3 Day 11: Most psychotic killer
 This guy was seriously fucked up. A wonderful performance by Joe Spinell. ranna's rating:
592 6.9 7.1 Day 14: The cheesiest horror you’ve ever seen
 "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass...and I'm all out of bubblegum." ranna's rating:
142 6.8 6.6 Day 15: A great 80’s horror movie
 Not my favorite 80's flick, but a totally underrated little gem by Stuart Gordon of Re-animator fame. ranna's rating:
194 6.4 6.6 Day 16: Great indie horror
 Haven't seen a family this dysfunctional since the dinner scene in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. ranna's rating:
67 5.8 5.1 Day 18: A movie people hate that you love
 Xtro is a dirty, cheesy, obscure horror exploitation film. But it's all kinds of awesome at that. It's a shame I seem to be the only person on this planet who thinks so. ranna's rating:
 
1235 6.1 6.7 Day 19: A movie that disappointed you
 PG-13, a lot of jump scares and one mildly creepy old lady. I expect better from the guy who did The Evil Dead trilogy. ranna's rating:
 
187 6.5 5.9 Day 20: A great twist ending
 One of those cases where the twist ending really makes the movie. ranna's rating:
499 6.7 6.8 Day 21: A horrible/lame twist
 One of those cases where the twist ending really destroys the movie. ranna's rating:
 
5051 8.2 8.5 Day 22: Best movie based on a book
 A lot better than the book, actually. ranna's rating:
123 5.9 5.7 Day 23: Scariest old person
That old geezer seriously freaks me out. ranna's rating:
 
465 6.6 6.8 Day 24: A movie you expected to be bad, but enjoyed
 ranna's rating:
2003 5.2 5.5 Day 25: A franchise you don’t like
 Generic and boring to the max. ranna's rating:
 
70 4.4 3.6 Day 27: Favorite OR least favorite Stephen King movie
 An ironing machine with a TASTE FOR BLOOD. And no, it can't move by it's own. About as horrifying as the satanic floor lamp in Amityville 4. Why Tobe Hooper, why? ranna's rating:
486 7.2 7.2 Day 28: A great zombie movie
 You gotta hand it to the first film in which zombies constantly blabbered about "Brraaains! More Brains!". ranna's rating:
515 5.8 5.5 Day 29: A movie you refuse to watch
 The first one was okay, the second one was kind of bad and after the terrible third installment I totally gave up. It was like watching The Bold and The Beautiful with random torture scenes. I think I'd rather hang around in one of Jigsaw's elaborate traps than sit through the rest of these movies. 
77 5.6 5.6 Day 30: One you need to watch, a.s.a.p.
 I know everyone keeps bashing this, but I really enjoyed Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury's previous film Inside. And at least it seems to be visually very beautiful. |
