Halloween Movie Review, 2009

Every year, Aaron and I get into the Halloween spirit by watching scary movies non-stop in October. Last year we got in a good list of old-favorites and new classics.

Here’s the set for 2009, which I’ll update with remarks after viewing:

Watched:

Paranormal Activity: (10/10) It’s soooo rare that I find a movie that genuinely scares me (The Ring), but isn’t traumatizing (The Exorcist). My heart pounded, my stomach hurt, but I couldn’t stop peeking from between my fingers. You MUST see this.

It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown: (4/10) Hmmmm. Is this about religious fanaticism? Blind faith? Aside from about 60 seconds of awesome Halloween party, this didn’t live up to my memories. And what’s up with the WWII/Red Baron biz?

Coming Up:

A Tale of Two Sisters

The Changeling

Session 9

Dracula (Coppola)

House of Wax (Price)

Shadow of the Vampire

The Shining

*** NOTE: I have a strict non-psycho-killer Halloween policy. If it’s not supernatural, I don’t think it falls in the category.
