Perhaps the greatest decade of horror films. Seems like good horror films were coming from everywhere about everything in the 70s.
The Exorcist makes me
my pants.
Suspiria oozes style, and will probably forever remain my favorite Argento.
Eraserhead puts your head in a blender and you love it even more for it.
Zombie is even better than the movie it ripped off in order to get viewers, and it is still my favorite Fulci out of the limited number I've seen.
The Last House on the Left is even better than the Bergman movie that inspires it.
Carrie is a lot of fun and Sissy Spacek is yet to do a better job since.
Halloween turned Jamie Lee Curtis into the scream queen of the early 80s, which lead to us seeing her without her top. Thank you,
Halloween.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has one of the scariest opening kills I've ever seen, and it doesn't get any less intense after that.
Dawn of the Dead is the best movie to ever take place in a mall? I don't like it as much as Night or Day, but on its own it's still a very solid zombie flick. Romero might have tried a little too hard with the political message in this one though, it wasn't as effective critiquing consumerism as Night did racism.
Equinox is called so bad it's good by some, but I'll go a step further than that.
Equinox is so good it's good. Sure, the acting isn't great. It's lower than low budget. But you can feel how hard they worked on this film. The love they put into it is apparent, and the special effects are actually really well done. It's not Citizen Kane or The Godfather or even Jurassic Park, but damn if I didn't fall in love with it.
