What did July give to us horror fans? Some pretty good flicks, that's what.
At the Box Office we got-
- One of the worst horror flicks I've seen in recent memory, Blood: The Last Vampire. this movie was so bad, that halfway through I wished that I was watching The Haunting of Molly Hartley instead.
- A nice little surprise in Orphan; I was expecting this one to bomb, but its buzz has been solid across the board.
- Deadgirl (Limited) was decent, not perfect, but decent enough.
- Thirst (Limited) has been getting great reviews. Of course this means it won't be playing anywhere near me, so I'm missing out for now.
- The Collector- I'll let you know Friday, but the advance word is that this movie gives us a new horror icon to fear, not to mention fearing the possible 8 sequels that will surely follow if it does well...
On DVD we got-
Own it- Near Dark SE, [REC], Acolytes,
Rent it- The Unborn, The Horsemen, The Objective,
Skip it- Dead wood, The Haunting in Connecticut, Skeleton Crew, Ghost Month,
Rent or Skip, we can't decide- Messengers II: The Scarecrow
The ones we haven't seen- One Missed Call 3, Devil Girl, Bundy, Necessary Evil, Pop Skull, Torso
July was good, but August looks to be on the verge of being great; Theatrically, District 9 looks amazing and blew everyone away at Comic-Con; Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 finally hits theaters as does The Final Destination in 3-D. On DVD we get The Last House on the Left, Surveillance, and The Crypt to keep us busy... could be a good month.
