  The Shining 1980

  ★★★★★ Added

  Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of the Stephen King ghost story is an undisputed horror masterpiece. True, it's a fairly loose adaptation but that may have been for the best. As a film it's very influential in its own right, judging from most modern arthouse horror films. There's so much good shit here that it's impossible to narrow down to just anything.

  It Chapter Two 2019

  Fans of found footage should definitely check this out. A pretty great group of people worked on this and deserve the support.

  Sorry, but it's physically impossible for me to be impartial in regards to Fred Dekker's beloved horror-comedy. It may partly be nostalgia, and yet I truly do believe this is an incredibly well-made movie. It's both hilarious and full of heart. The kids are believable and act like real kids, and the young cast excels quite well. Stan Winston's makeup FX are phenomenal and the creatures are suitably menacing and creepy. I also love the performances of Duncan Regehr as…
