14/08/2012: The Rocky Horror Pictures Show [1975]

So, by accident, I happened to watch the very definition of cult classic on it's 37th anniversary, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It must have been destiny. That's right, I just used the word destiny. Even 37 years later, TRHPS remains the biggest cult classic in cinema, still played in midnight screenings around the world, and with a dedicated fanbase more than willing to dress up in drag and bring props to a theater. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is more than a movie, it is an experience.

12/08/2012: Repo! The Genetic Opera [2008]

Everyone knows that the biggest cult movie phenomenon is The Rocky Horror Picture Show. For over 35 years it has been the horror rock musical of choice, attracting many a costumed viewer to it's midnight showings. However, in 2008 the guys responsible for Saw gave the world a new rock opera horror musical. One they hope will become as big a cult phenomenon as The Rocky Horror Picture Show. While it is to early to tell, I think it has a decent shot. Because it was pretty damn awesome.

11/08/2012: The Fearless Vampire Killers [1974]

After watching Young Frankenstein I thought that The Fearless Vampire Killers would be a good follow up. Now, I honestly am not sure which one I enjoyed more. The Fearless Vampire Killers shows us that not only can Roman Polanski both direct and write a great horror comedy but can also star in one as well. Never has there been a more bumbling duo of vampire hunters since Professor Abronsius and his assistant Alfred.

10/08/2012: 21 Jump Street [2012]

I was disappointed with myself when, after 15 minutes of looking at my collection of amazing movies I need to watch, I couldn't fight off the urge to watch 21 Jump Street. All my movies, and I chose the new comedy about a pair of cops who go undercover at a high school to uncover the source of a new drug. Well they were undercover and they uncovered that I really enjoyed this.

10/08/2012: Eddie: The Sleepwalking Cannibal

The other day someone asked me how I choose what movies to watch. I told them that just about anything could be the cause, from a director to a poster or an actor. Once in a while I will discover someone new who I just decide to watch the entire filmography of. I added Eddie to my watchlist after watching Pontypool, not because of Stephen McHattie, but Georgina Riley. I’m not sure if I would have stumbled on Eddie any other way, but that would have been a shame because it is a nice entertaining Canadian horror comedy.

27/08/2012: V/H/S [2012]

V/H/S is a horror anthology that has been hyped about by Bloody Disgusting for months now, claiming to be both the rejuvenation of the horror anthology and the found footage genres. Now, these are some pretty bold claims, but word from both the horror and movie community has been generally positive towards it, and I was rather excited to see if V/H/S deliver on it's promises.
