Ditto - I really enjoyed it!

Poltergeist = scary, Poltergeist reboot = not scary [Reply]
I'll have to go with the shopping mall head explosion over the Dust Devil because I liked it when she got shot in the ass with a laser that was also a very nice ass. Would watch again and again. [Reply]

I'm calling on the Bad Taste (and I recently found out this was Peter jacksons first movie, I watched this a LOT as a teen) sheep scene. Not even Donald can Trump this.
Shuttle: kind of a stale tale of a group of young people kidnapped by an airport shuttle driver. Pretty mediocre film, imo.
Schizo: '76 original about a woman being stalked by an ex-lover, but everyone thinks she's paranoid/crazy. More of a mental illness angled thriller than straight horror that starts better than it finishes. I'd still recommend it for the score alone if you're into that 70s synth. [Reply]

I enjoyed it, but it was unintentionally bad, and not in a campy sort of way. The story is good, the nudity to gore ratio was good, but stuff like the random karate scene (which 90% of the time I'm cool with), poorly timed bursts of music, and trying too hard to make the characters quirky took away from it. Still definitely worth a watch if you're an 80s slasher fan. [Reply]
