Black Sheep (2006): A good black comedy splatter, if losing some of its initial appeal towards the end. Very NZ throughout, and Peter Jackson would be proud.
Hostel (2005): The "torture–porn" horror genre is well and truly here, with the hostel chambers bringing more and more terrifyingly gory sights as the film progresses. Highlights include Miike's cameo and a creepy wannabe surgeon.
Halloween 2 (Halloween II) (1981): A decent sequel as horrors go, although far less interesting than the original. Still a few scares to be had, and Michael is still just as creepy as the voiceless never–die psycho.
Halloween 3 - Season of the Witch (Halloween III) (1982): Completely unrelated to the Michael Myres Halloween, this feels more like a Goosebumps story than a serious horror, with creepy masks and a strangely catchy television ad jingle.
Halloween H20 (1998): A decent reboot of the series, this puts Michael back on the map, with Jamie Lee back again to face her psycho brother. Still creepy, and commendable for going back to its roots.
Halloween (2007): An excellent reboot of the Halloween franchise, Zombie proves his worth as horror master. Giving some insight to Michael's past is commendable, setting this apart from the original while keeping a similarly serious creep factor.
Friday the 13th [Franchise] (1980-1989): Another classic 80s horror/slasher, giving birth to a monster–size franchise. Teenagers beware, you're all viable candidates for Jason Voorhees.
Freddy Vs. Jason (2003): Terrible and unnecessary crossover that pits together Freddy Krueger (nightmare on elm) and Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th). Why do they do this to our favourite characters?
Nightmare On Elm Street, A (1984): Freddy Krueger is not only fantastically frightening, but he's also darkly funny. This Wes Craven is a masterpiece, and a close second–best horror film to my favourite: Carpenter's Halloween.
Halloween (1978): One of the greatest horror films ever, this John Carpenter creation is still seriously creepy, and Michael Myres is still a great psycho. The beginning of one of the most successful horror franchises ever made.
