Haze is a 2005 Japanese horror film by Shinya Tsukamoto (of Tetsuo Iron Man film fame). Wikipedia says… A man wakes up in a small concrete space bleeding from the abdomen. He can barely move and has no recollection of why or how he came to be there. Crawling forward he eventually meets a woman and they try to piece together their past lives.
I tried typing this out, explaining it, but it became too hard. Its a real weird one. I enjoyed it. Its confusing and has a crazy, and surprisingly deep ending! 2.5 stars.
The Relic a 1997 horror film about a demonic creature that terrorises a museum killing people. A statue of a mythological creature is shipped to a museum by an anthropologist, and with it comes a bizarre creature. It kills a janitor and police detective Tom Sizemore investigates. More people die as the creature wreaks havoc and biologist Penelope Anne Miller tries to work out what it is… That’s the gist of it, the rest is an interesting monster horror film.
2.5 stars, its good.

Terrified is a 2018 horror film from Argentina. A group of people experience poltergeist-like activity in their homes, weird things happen, a child comes back from the grave, paranormal investigators arrive, more weird things happen, a bizarre creature appears, and there’s an unresolved ending. Interesting rather enjoyable film. My subs were not the best, but it didn’t matter too much.
2.5 stars. Was enjoyable despite a language barrier.

#3 – Visions of Suffering (2006)
Visions of Suffering is a low budget Russian film from 2006. Its a lot of odd visuals, filters, effects, CGI, camera shaking and weird sound effects. Its also 2 hours long. I wasn’t sure what was going on, but according to Letterboxd:
A surreal world you may never wake from. Demons cross the divide between the world of dreams and waking reality to capture a victim and drag him back to their nightmarish realm.

1.5 stars. It’s definitely weird, but it’s just too long and incoherent. The director/screenplay writer has some other films I will be checking out – if i can find them – because even with its problems it still was visually cool and definitely bizarre.
Going to try and watch 1 horror movie each day in October. Will I achieve this? Probably not. Will also do a very short review and star rating.
#1 Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter
The Final Chapter! Part 4! of 12 movies! I know I have seen 1 and 2, pretty sure I haven’t seen 3, or 4, until now. Four is…well, not much happens at all. Very slow until the last 25mins or so. There’s no big scares, there’s some horror but not much, and it doesn’t add anything we don’t already know to the mythology. Stars Corey Feldman, and Tom Savini returns for make up but he never gets a chance to shine (except for the Jason “death” scene).
2 stars. Nothing really happens, but its watchable enough.
