Made popular by Vincent Price's stellar performance and use of effects, this is a cult classic if ever there was one. The lighting plays a major roll in the success of this film. This is available in both color and black &white. This is a must see as well as the remake. Both versions carry the same base story line but play out in two different ways.
After Dr. Carl Maia finds unique skeletal remains, a group of scientists led by David Reed head down the Amazon to see if other remains can be found. They have little luck at first until hearing that further downriver lies the Black Lagoon where other fossils might be found. They get more than they bargained for when they discover a living prehistoric creature - a half-man, half amphibious reptile - that doesn't take kindly to their attempts to capture him. The creature takes a liking to Kay Lawrence and kidnaps her but goes to war against the scientists and won't let them leave the lagoon.

One of the original classic creature features. Cinematography and effects were great for its time. The creature makeup was innovative for its era. Must see creature feature.
A frustrated and talentless artist finds acclaim for a plaster covered dead cat that is mistaken as a skillful statuette. Soon the desire for more praise leads to an increasingly deadly series of works.

Review:
If you're old enough you'll see some up-in-comers from that generation. This is the original to the remake in 1995 with Anthony Micheal Hall and Justine Bateman. A want-to-be artist finds a creepy, morbid way to find success. While this movie isn't much on the typical horror side, its in the watch once and move on category. It could have been better. The remake was a bit campy but had some comedy it it as well.

This silent film, the most silent horror watched. This movie is what started our love of vampires in movies today. Must see for any horror fan. Great use of lighting makes most of the effects and scenes eerie.
Plot: Inspired by true events, "The Rite" follows skeptical seminary student Michael Kovak (Colin O'Donoghue), who reluctantly attends exorcism school at the Vatican. While he's in Rome, Michael meets an unorthodox priest, Father Lucas (Anthony Hopkins), who introduces him to the darker side of his faith, uncovering the devil's reach even to one of the holiest places on Earth.

Review:
One of the best exorcism movies out there to date. Anthony Hopkins does not dissappoint nor does Colin O'Donoghue (Captain Hook from Once a Upon a Time). Hopkins plays an Exorcist preist in Rome who gets possessed, who else could play this role so well? There are no real major effects in this. Cinematography was on point in every scene, acting couldn't have been better & storyline/ plot was rich. Never a disappointment in this soon to be classic.
KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM follows three best friends (Peter Dinklage, Steve Zahn and Ryan Kwanten) and dedicated LARPers (Live Action Role Players) as they take to the woods to reenact a dungeons and dragons-like scenario fresh out of the mythical Middle Ages. Trouble arises after they unwittingly conjure up some serious evil in the form of a blood-lusting Succubus, from the pits of hell.

Review:
This is a comedy horror in every sense of the words; more comedy than horror. But if you like role playing games, LARPing and such this is the movie for you! Extremely funny not much horror but a fun movie to watch. Most effects are partical and very well done (Blood and guts looked lifelike). It kinda starts off a little slow but hang in there and you'll be happy that you did.
