107. Piranha (1978) Genetically engineered piranha get out into a river and chew people up. This isn't meant to be a back handed compliment but this is the best of the Jaws rip-offs. A great drive-in era movie with lots of funny jokes and wonderful character actors. If you've never seen it...

105. The Blob (1988) A blob falls from the sky (thanks to a germ warfare experiment gone awry) and starts eating people in a town. A very good remake with some nice special effects. 106. The Car A car possesed kills people in a small desert town. While the concept of a killer car...

104. Intruder (uncut) Someone is killing people at a supermarket after hours. Not the best movie in the world (the killer is pretty obvious, most of the score is terrible) but there's some neat directorial flourishes that you don't see in the average slasher film and the gory makeup from KNB...

103. Dawn Of The Dead (1978) (theatrical cut) Survivors hide from zombies in a shopping mall. Like its predecessor, this is an all time classic.

100. The Funhouse Four teens try to spend the night in a carnival funhouse but, unfortunately, there's a killer mutant in there. Outside of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, I think this is Tobe Hooper's finest hour. I love the widescreen photography and the monster makeup is really cool...

I can't get to that page either. I think the best idea will be for everyone to repost their list on the current page starting on Monday.

97. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) A family of cannibals cuts up kids in Texas. A classic and a must see for anyone who likes horror movies. 98. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 A family of cannibals tries to cut up a radio DJ. An underrated sequel that goes for a more dark humor...

96. Saw 3D The Jigsaw games continue. I won't get into spoilers but I'd say that this movie is on par with Saw V. Nothing great but it's not terrible either. My biggest problem with the movie is that it doesn't feel all that connected to the other movies (which is one of the strongest suits...

Yeah, it was shot in 3-D and not another lame conversion.

OK, here's the elements from Saw VI that I think might be relevant in Saw 3-D: - Jill left a thick envelope (contents unknown) in a mail slot at an office in a hospital. - Detective Hoffman killed three FBI agents and torched their office to cover his tracks. - Jill, following Jigsaw's...

Ha, I had trouble remembering the end of Saw VI too (and I thought that was the best one of the second trilogy). I'll catch it today but the most I remember is that Jill put the mouth trap (from the first one) on Detective Hoffman and while he was able to stop it from killing him, it...

Yesterday, 90. Saw Two men wake up in an abandoned old room and realize that they're in a trap created by the Jigsaw killer. Like the original Halloween, Friday The 13th and A Nightmare On Elm Street, this is a very effective movie that has probably been 'diminished' to some degree by...

87. The Evil Dead A group of young friends go up to a cabin in the woods and are attacked by demons. Since it's a straight horror movie, this is my favorite of The Evil Dead series. Despite the very low budget and lack of experience, the movie is pretty impressive. 88. Evil Dead II...

86. Cursed (unrated) Christina Ricci and Jesse Eisenberg deal with a werewolf. I know this movie had a lot of post production tinkering so who knows what might have been but the end result is a real dud. On the plus side, a werewolf does give someone the middle finger so just for that silly...

82. The People Under The Stairs A 13 year old boy from the ghetto breaks into a house owned by a kinky and crazy couple who have people living in their basement. It's not the greatest movie but I enjoy this one. They make the bad guys so bad (they're racists, child abusers and ridiculously...

Last night, 81. Shocker An executed serial killer comes back via possession to kill again. Wes Craven attempted to make a new Freddy Krueger with the Horace Pinker character but lightning didn't strike twice. The movie is too all over the place in terms of tone (sometimes it's a black...

77. Invitation To Hell Robert Urich is a scientist who comes to work at a company which also pulls his family into an evil country club. This Wes Craven telemovie is really goofy, dated and not very scary. 78. Chiller An executive is cryogenically frozen and eventually revived but...

From yesterday, 74. The Hills Have Eyes (1977) A family gets lost in the desert and stumbles upon a group of crazy cannibals. This is one of my favorite Wes Craven movies because it's creepy and raw and the very rough around the edges look of the movie boosts that rawness and creepiness...

73. The Last House On The Left (1972) Two teenage girls get kidnapped by a group of criminals and then it gets really gross. Wes Craven's first movie is amateur hour on all levels (most of the performances are 1970's porn level bad, it's poorly made and some of the songs used are hilariously...

72. Paranormal Activity 2 Since the movie is new, I won't get into spoilers but I didn't like it much. The worst thing is that the sequel replaces the original's actual suspense with LOUD NOISE jump scares.

The audience reaction track cheers everything because it was recorded at the Alamo Draft House in Austin where Robert Rodriguez grew up and still works and lives. In other words, they're cheering the 'home team'. I loved Death Proof but it's not like Planet Terror and most people don't seem...

71. Psycho IV: The Beginning Norman Bates is out (again) and he recalls his childhood by calling into a radio talk show. I've always kind of liked this one too. Anthony Perkins has a much smaller role than normal but Henry Thomas is really good as teenage Norman. Olivia Hussey as Mother and...

Yeah, there's definitely good elements to Psycho III but I still think it's the weakest of the series.

69. Psycho II Norman Bates is cured and returns home but, unfortunately, Lila Loomis doesn't like that he's been released. Wonderful performance from Anthony Perkins and nice direction from Richard Franklin. It could never measure up to the original but it's still a very good sequel. 70...

68. Psycho (1960) A woman steals money and while on the road, she stops at the Bates Motel run by an odd young man. I imagine everyone who comes to this board has seen it but it's so good that they should go watch it again. The new Blu-ray is really nice looking too. Yep.

That's another excellent episode. The goodbye on the blackboard at the end was a nod to it being writers Glen Morgan and James Wong's last episode (they had written classic XF episodes like Squeeze, Ice, Beyond The Sea, Tooms and One Breath) before leaving to make Space: Above And Beyond. After...

67. The Seventh Victim A young woman looks for her missing sister and stumbles upon a Satanic cult. Great atmosphere, unusual story and a very film noir vibe make this my favorite Lewton production.

65. Isle Of The Dead Boris Karloff is a general who has to keep people in quarantine on an island due the plague. Solid Lewton production with some nice atmosphere. Karloff is, as always, excellent. 66. Bedlam (1946) Boris Karloff is the cruel head of Bedlam and when a woman becoms...

64. The Body Snatcher Boris Karloff sells freshly dead bodies to a doctor for medical research and when he runs out of corpses, he starts killing people to procure bodies. One of Lewton's best productions (in my opinion, it's only behind Cat People and The Seventh Victim). Creepy, excellent...
