Ghost Ship (Steve Beck, 2002) + A salvage crew discovers a long-lost ship and decides to claim it, but they encounter psychic phenomena and gold on board. Schizophrenic horror flick mixes psychological suspense, gore and light fantasy.
Dead Souls (Colin Theys, 2012) Cheap, but semi-interesting, film about a young man who finds out he’s adopted and inherits a house which starts a whole magilla of trouble.
Blood from the Mummy’s Tomb (Seth Holt, 1971) + Slightly-better than normal Hammer mummy flick, mainly because gorgeous Valerie Loren plays two roles but also because there’s better professionalism.
Mad Love (Karl Freund, 1935) Mostly an average ‘30s horror film elevated by Peter Lorre as a mad surgeon who transplants a knife-throwing killer’s hands onto a renowned concert pianist who was disfigured. This look rocks.
The Birds (Alfred Hitchcock, 1963) Romantic comedy with eeriness that slowly and inexorably turns to dread when birds get together and kick the stuffing out of us measly humans. The subjective camerawork looking up the stairs near the end may be the scariest scene Hitch ever filmed.
The Haunting (Robert Wise, 1963) Atmospheric and genuinely-scary haunted house flick must be watched in the dark. Only flaws are some poor music placement ln a couple of scenes and the comedy relief. Julie Harris is extraordinary.
Wicked Little Things (JS Cardone, 2006) + Better-than-average, fast-paced nonsense about a family staying in a cabin and finding out there are both zombies and ghosts on the loose in the area, based in a local mine.
