ISF: The Call of Cthulhu (2005)

ISF: The Call of Cthulhu (2005) Dir: Andrew Leman Date Released (DVD): May 2007 Date Seen: March 15, 2010 Rating: 3.75/5

Crude but often invigorating in the way it successfully takes a very non-literal text and translates it as literally as it can. See my review for the now defunct "The Deep Cut."

RV!: In the Mouth of Madness (1994)

RV!: In the Mouth of Madness (1994) Dir: John Carpenter Date Released: February 1995 Date Seen: February 14, 2010 Rating: 4/5

I am so glad this movie holds up to a second viewing. Even smarter than I remember. See me gush about it unapologetically for the next entry in my "The Deep Cut" column at Ugo.

RV!: Society (1989)

RV!: Society (1989) Dir: Brian Yuzna Date Released: June 1992 Date Seen: February 6, 2010 Rating: 3.75/5

My affection for this film still holds true upon second viewing. Bully. See me canonize it in my "The Deep Cut" column for Ugo.

34) The Changeling (1980)

34) The Changeling (1980) Dir: Peter Medak Date Released: March 1980 Date Seen: February 1, 2010 Rating: 3.75/5

Slow and moody: a ghost story about and for senior citizens. Not bad at all. See my review of it for my "The Deep Cut" feature for Ugo.

27) Corpse Mania (1981)

27) Corpse Mania (1981) Dir: Chih-Hung Kuei Date Released (DVD): October 2008 Date Seen: January 26, 2010 Rating: 4/5

A lesser film than Kuei's The Boxer's Omen but an equally entertaining one in its own right. See my review of it for my "The Deep Cut" column for Ugo.

19) It's Alive (1974)

19) It's Alive (1974) Dir: Larry Cohen Date Released: October 1974 Date Seen: January 19, 2010 Rating: 3.75/5

The most accessible of Cohen's horror satires that I've seen so far. I can dig it. See my "The Deep Cut" review for Ugo.
