The Fury (1978)- The U.S. Government kidnapping kids with telekinetic powers and using them as weapons of war... What a perfect plot for Brian De Palma. He is a great director, having done Carrie, Dressed to Kill, Scarface, The Untouchables... I dare say that this is one of his more underrated films. It's a bloody movie with an interesting premise, and the ending is especially good; It reminds me a lot of the famous scene from scanners. Check it out if you haven't seen it.
Inferno (1980)- Many consider this to be Argento's masterpiece, even above Suspiria. Although I don't exactly agree with that, you can check my review of Inferno and it will tell you that I absolutely love this movie too; it makes little coherent sense, but it is shot so beautifully, and is so atmospheric and horrific, that it is still an all-time classic. This is really what a horror movie should be, in many ways. A must own in my opinion.
Nightbreed (1990)- What a cool movie from master of horror, Clive Barker. I mean David Cronenberg plays the bad guy! Humankind are the enemy, not the monsters! It's a fascinating movie, both in look and concept, and it's definitely one of the best monster movies I've seen. I've always wondered if this movie was Barker's commentary on coming out of the closet; whether it is or not, it's a good movie worth checking out.
Resident Evil (2002)- This is the movie that Romero was originally going to direct... can you imagine that? I still like Resident Evil, but god I would have loved to see the king of zombie movie's take on this. This is a pretty damn good zombie flick. Mila is hot in this also, which helps too. It's definitely a "Hollywood" horror flick, but it has enough blood and zombie goodness to make me forget that.
See you tomorrow with #29...
