The Pit and the Pendulum (1990)
From Beyond (1986)
Re-Animator (1985)


And SteveGon joins in and discovers even more directors I've never heard of, maybe I should start my own checklist series, who's left? I kid.

Well I've heard of Stuart Gordon of course, from me video renting days. Re-Animator is a genre classic.

ps. Pit and the Pendulum gets an extra star from me for gratuitous nudity.

Average Rating 2.8 out of 5

Never heard of, never seen. If you'd asked me who Stuart Gordon was, I would have guessed a NASCAR driver.

*1. Re-Animator - A (classic, one of my favorite 80's horror flicks)
2. Dagon - B+ (I continue to dream of Lovecraft done period with Lovecraft's dialogue and writing intact, but this is still a pretty good rendition of my favorite of his stories, Shadow over Innsmouth)
3. Edmond - B-
4. The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit - B- (innocuous, fairly entertaining family-type movie somewhat notable for having a mostly Hispanic cast)
5. Dolls - C+

Own: 1

Trying to remember if I've seen From Beyond or not. I rented some of the Lovecraft movies back in VHS days but they generally blend together.

2002 Sight & Sound Challenge: 313 Last Watched: Time of the Gypsies

Last 10 Films Watched:
Foreign Correspondent - B / The Small Back Room - B+
Days of Wine and Roses - B / Redbelt - C
Torn Curtain - C+ / The Wrong Man - B+
Dial M for Murder - B+ / I Confess - A-
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - C+ / Brand Upon the Brain! - B+
