Michael Myers is back and still hunting poor Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis reprises the role she did such a fantastic job playing) in Halloween II and this time, it’s bloodier. The gore and mess missing from its predecessor is out in full force and blood-lusters couldn’t be happier.

While Halloween II maybe not be as good as the first, but damned if it isn’t close. The movie picks up where the first left off. Laurie is being taken to a hospital while the police search for Michael. One need not think too hard to figure out that he’s going to show up to finish what he started with poor Laurie. We’d have a pretty boring movie if he didn’t. What happens from there is slasher movie brilliance.

Quick Review: One of the best slasher movies of all time. No question.

Halloween (1978)

This is the movie that started it all… the one and only original Halloween. It’s not a remake. It’s not a sequel but the movie that spawned this legendary series and introduced the masses to Jamie Lee Curtis.

Although Halloween was made in 1978 for only $300, 000, it’s scare factor definitely stands the test of time. There isn’t as much blood and gore when compared to today’s slasher films, but Halloween doesn’t need it. It relies on music, mood and camera work to truly scare the bejesus out of its audience. It takes its time to build characters and make them likable. You really care if Laurie Strode lives or dies. You’re rooting for her to win, even if secretly there’s a part of you that wants to see Michael win too.

Quick Review: If you haven’t seen this classic slasher movie, I don’t know what you’re waiting for. A must see example of slasher movie perfection!

Friday The 13th (2008)

The first movie in this legendary series, Friday the 13th, is remade for a whole new audience of blood-lusters – and the movie does not disappoint. From the first severed head within moments of the movie’s open, the blood doesn’t stop flowing.

Watch as the young, pretty people are taught yet again why it’s so important to listen to those stories you hear around the campfire and never, ever break the rules of horror movies. Drugs and sex get you murdered by homicidal maniacs. When will they learn? Hopefully never – then what would be watch. Friday the 13th stabs and gouges the lesson home again and again.

Quick summary: Boobs, banging and blood – what else do you need to know? Sure you know exactly what’s going to happen. It’s the same plot, but who watches these things for the story, right? We just want blood, and baby, we got it!
