THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL (2009)

I know this film has received a shit ton of acclaim since its release, but I'm posting it anyway in the off chance one of my fellow Plisspals had yet to see this masterpiece. Because House Of The Devil is by far one of the greatest horror films of the last 10 years and an all time favorite of mine.

Samantha is a teen with no money. Creepy character actor Tom Noonan needs a babysitter. But when Samantha shows up for the job at a mansion in the middle of nowhere, she is told she has been misled. There is no child to be watched. But there is an overbearing old hag that needs to be watched. Her pay is increased and she is told mother barely leaves her room and the job is totally low maintenance. This is also not true.

The tension in this movie slow burns until the nerves burst from your skin and stab you in the face. It feels like if John Carpenter directed an 80's giallo. Or something like that.

97 Greta Gerwigs out of 100.

Mmm, pizza.

DEATHROW GAMESHOW (1987)

Deathrow Gameshow is one of the most perverse and dark satires ever and it's so god damn funny that I dare you to not like it.

It's a gameshow called Live or Die that challenges convicted felons to compete in different life threatening situations. If they make it through, they go free. If not, a gruesome death awaits.

Sometimes they get bonus rounds to try and win some money for their family before they die.

HAHAHAHA.

It even has commercial breaks with fucking crazy ads for things usually somehow involving a corpse.

89 eyepatches out of 100.

BLOODY BIRTHDAY (1981)

Kevin take note: The ringleader of these little shits is a pre-pubescent Mikey from Parker Lewis!

One day during a solar eclipse, 3 babies are born at the exact same instant. Flash forward 10 years and the tweens have become cold merciless killers. Turns out the eclipse blocked saturn's magic rings from blessing the children with emotions so, no fucking rules, dude.

They basically go around killing people who annoy them and it's so much fun! One kid has a peephole into his sisters room and his buddies pay him to let them watch his sister change! Nice!

86 eyepatches out of 100.

There used to be a way better trailer for this, but I can't seem to find them shits anymore.

TWICE DEAD (1988)

OK, so I still haven't been able to get my computer fixed but I really wanted to post a horror movie every day for the month of October so I'm trying my best to hammer a few out on this white devil Jennea calls a computer.

Directed by Bert Dragin (Bert. Dragin.), Twice Dead is about a family who inherits a spooky old house from some dead uncle. Good thing too because they just happen to need a new place to live. Problem is some depressed cake-face actor hung himself in that very house some hundred years earlier! But then, just as you think you're in for a run of the mill haunted house story, a gang of street punks starts tormenting the sister (bonerific Jill Whitlow) and her brother. Shit carries over to the schoolyard where they meet Todd Bridges and then save him from the crusty punks! The gang follows bro and sis back to the house and shit gets real. Turns out the dead actor's ghost also hates punks and helps the kids fight back!

Jill Whitlow is hot. A solid 80's gem. 79 eyepatches out of 100.

Holy shit, I hadn't seen the trailer until just now. Awesome.
