Best Horror Film Ever

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2004)

This has been my favorite movie and favorite horror movie for years. Sure, the acting comes and goes in quality and yeah, that stop-motion animation is dated, but that's not what makes a horror movie. This has something you almost never find in our modern watered-down Hollywood horror trite these days. Pure, dark, terrifying atmosphere. It's dark, moody, and the action comes and goes with relentless pace. The quiet moments are so well done that you can FEEL the stress. The scene out in the woods... if you've seen it you know what I'm talking about... reminds us all of how the filmmakers came to the idea that submitting this movie to be rated (or raped) by the MPAA would've resulted, most likely, in an X rating. Not to mention, this movie is about the only competitor in horror film existence that might even be able to match, let alone compete, with the amount of gore dumped throughout, Peter Jackson's (Unrated, Uncut) Dead-Alive. If you are a real horror fan, you will want to OWN this feature.
