Note: I grew up with the Tales from the Crypt TV series and both movies as a kid in the 90s. It was nice to revisit this movie again after 20+ years. While it's not amazing by all means, but it is a pretty solid movie. The movie does a good job handling comedy, action, horror, and drama into one. I also love Billy Zane in this movie and it's probably his best role in my opinion. The special effects are still pretty good too.
The worst thing about the movie is the story is a bit messy, but at least they don't take the story too seriously. I would recommended it if you're curious.

Note: I loved this movie ever since I saw the movie on late night cable over 20 years ago. This movie still holds up well and everything about this movie is awesome. The story, characters, the gore, the dark humor and the over top violence makes this movie fantastic to watch.
What has stuck with me through the years after seeing this movie so many times is just how impressive the special effects are. The effects looked just as impressive today as they did back in 1985.

Note: I haven't seen this movie in over 15 years on VHS. This movie is fun trashy garbage. The movie is filled with blood, sex, and gore from start to finish. While the plot is silly and over the top, but these type of movies are not meant to watch for their plots. You watch Grindhouse movies for the trash factor. I would give this movie a higher rating if it was shorter. I was started to get bored with this movie during the final act of the film. Overall, I would suggest to check out this movie if you enjoy trashy cinema.

Note: Most people don't like this movie while I love this film. I love how dark, sick and surreal this movie is. This movie uses surrealistic elements on what you find in other movies like El Topo and Videodrome. This movie came out 10 years before Inception and I always like The Cell over Inception, to be honest. I also do love the story and I feel like the movie gets better with each viewing. The more you watch this movie, the better you can understand the characters in my opinion. I recommended this movie.

Note: This is my personal favorite movie from Umberto Lenzi because this movie is one big thrill ride from start to finish. I always have a total blast when I revisit this movie. This movie does look cheap, but I don't care. This movie has some over the top death scenes that are so much fun to watch. I always rewind back to those scenes because they give me a smile. Not to mention this movie does have some serious themes going for it such as anti-nuclear and anti-military message. Talking about how the humanity is slowly destroying our selves and how the military gets in the way of things.
I do think this movie is pretty relevant in today's world. Highly recommended this movie if you haven't seen it yet.

Note: With the upcoming Halloween movie coming up, I decided to revisit the original movie. What can be said about this movie that has not been said a million times before. This movie is top notch film making from start to finish. The setting, the characters, the story and the overall tone of this movie is just perfect in my opinion. I think the acting in this movie is not bad neither. People give slasher movies a bad rep, but I feel like Halloween is a pretty classy movie when it comes to slasher movies. The Thing is still my favorite horror movie from John Carpenter, but I still love this movie.

Note: I find this movie to be enjoyable. I do think it is a bit longer and the acting be very over the top at times. I do like the creepy tone of this movie and the overall story. The ending is a bit confusing, but I still recommended it.

Note: I first saw this movie back in the mid-2000s on DVD when I was 15 or 16 and I haven't seen it since then. I think this movie is still awesome in my opinion. I love how dark and suspenseful that this movie is. The high level of blood and gore really helps create a intense atmosphere in the film. The plot twist is not as bad as some people make it out to be. It never bother me that much. This movie is worth checking out.

Note: 20 years later, this movie still holds up in my opinion. Blade is everything that the 1997 Spawn movie should have been. Blade was R rated with blood, gore, and fun stylish action sequences. Sure the CG is dated and some dialogue is not very good, but the action is still great. The story is nice and simple which is not a bad thing. With Blade, you don't need to have a complex story or anything trying to be deep. The movie also has a fun supporting cast of characters, and they did a great job on the relationship between Blade and Whistler. The soundtrack is still pretty awesome as well. I don't have anything else to say about this movie.
Overall, Blade is still a fun action movie that is worth checking out.

Note: Dario Argento's first movie and his most underrated movie in my opinion. While it's not his best movie, I still think it is a very good movie. The Cinematography is amazing because of the great use of colors. Every bit of this movie is just wonderful to look at. This movie feels like a painting at times for how colorful this movie looks.
The story is really good too in my opinion because I like all of the characters and how they handle the mystery in the movie. You can easily put yourself in the main characters shoes and try to slove the mystery with him when watching the movie. The score is excellent and the twist still surprises me after so many years.

First Viewing
Note: I was looking around on Netflix for a movie to watch on Netflix and I saw this movie. It looks like it could be a fun movie and I was like "Why not?". It's not a bad movie, but it's nothing special neither. The movie is nothing new or original, but I still find it watchable.
I do think the movie can be really creepy at times with your house being watched by someone 24/7 as if your life was the Truman Show. The acting and characters are okay, but I was curious to watch and see how the story unfolded. I would recommend this movie if you have nothing else to watch on a rainy day.
