Ten more mini horror movie reviews
Kingdom of the spiders-1977
William Shatner and a few towns people try to survive being overrun by angry tarantulas.
Surprising decent film that works by using simple effects and decent performances.
Grade: B
Tales from the darkside the movie-1990
Anthology film of three tales within a framing story.
Overall decent yet the effect are slightly dated.
Grade:B-
Teenage Monster-1958
The monster is actually a man who mumbles and is covered in hair. It's also set during frontier times so the monster wears jeans, boots and a flannel shirt.
A true waste of film in every way. If you know of a worse film then keep it to yourself.
Grade:F
House of Frankenstein-1944
A scientist uncovers Frankenstein's notes and the monster. He tries to revive the monster while Larry Talbot begs the scientist to cure him from turning into a werewolf.
Messy plot, but a great cast and nice sets make it one of the better monster films of the 1940's.
Grade:B+
The Swarm-1978
Swarms of killer bees attack American cities.
Despite a well know cast, it's a little hard to take. This film is long and takes itself a bit too serious.
Grade:C-
And now the screaming starts-1973
Newlywed couple are haunted by a family curse and a severed hand.
A bit slow, but fairly effective gothic horror.
Grade:B
Creepshow-1982
Anthology of horror stories including a Father's day story, a man battling bugs and more.
Very predictable and a little dated, but a fast pace helps out.
Grade:C+
Army of darkness-1993
Horror comedy about a one-handed man who is sent back to medieval times where he battles the book of the dead.
Wonderful film that I never get tired of. Perfect blend of horror, fantasy and comedy. I have seen this film at least fourty times.
Grade:A
Pit and the pendulum-1961
Vincent Price plays a man who fears he has buried his wife alive.
Takes lots of liberties with Poe's story, but it's atmospheric and overall works.
Grade:B
Underworld-2003
A long running war between vampires and werewolves takes place.
The idea has promise yet the vampires are mainly aristocratic snobs while the werewolves have no personalities at all. Lots of wire stunts and shooting seem to be the focus. It does look good overall and that helps.

hi ,
great list,Ive really been into japanese and korean horror movies lately.dam scary and cool.like r-point ,tale of 2 sisters ,old boy,ring ,
when we are scared we know we are truly alive
I am totally in agreement with Army of Darkness. It is a perfect counterpoint for the Evil Dead Series.
Army of Darkness is brilliant and Bruce Campbell is a B-movie superstar! The only "horror" movie I own.
Man, you're kicking my ass on the horror films! AoD is for sure a modern classic. The Swarm! Wowzers, I remember that one! TV movie, if I recall.
My vote for worst movie, sorry, I'm not keeping it to myself as a public service announcement: Don't Go Into the Woods
