Slither (2006)
Great old-fashioned splatter fest
This movie is one of the funniest, well made, good acted and above all entertaining horror flicks of the last years. Forget about the bloodless 'Hostels' and other crappy slasher movies. If you want a good old fashioned horror evening get 'Slither'. Suspense, the occasional 'heart in the throat' scare, the classic 50-ties 'invasion of the earth' theme, the GREAT special effects (slime and gore a go go)all wrapped up in a great movie. The story is all about a bad ass alien with an attitude who thinks Earth is the next planet to destroy. And what better way to do that then turning the people in mindless zombies...? I don't want to tell too much, you better see for yourself. You won't be disappointed. By the way...the references to classic monster movies are hilarious.
La casa sfuggita (2003)
3 stories of H.P. Lovecraft in 1 movie
As a fan of Lovecraft I'm always on the look for film adaptations. And now I've seen The Shunned House. And yes, it is a horror movie, horror as in horrible. It's a low (or no) budget, Italian straight to video, with awful actors desperately trying to speak English. It's really boring, utterly confusing, it has little or nothing to do with Lovercraft's work, the music is terrible and to my personal belief Howard is turning over is his grave. Oh yes, you get some cheap gore, but that doesn't make a movie, does it. The thing doesn't even qualify for a B-movie. If you want some good Lovecraft stuff, stick to the classics. The wonderfully dark humored Re-animator, or From Beyond, and more recently Dagon. Just leave Shunned House, its a complete waste of time and money.
