The holidays are upon us, and with the season comes the hassle of shopping for those pesky gifts. Well here‘s a quick guide of the best horror I saw this year.
1. The Zombie Diaries – This is my #1 pick of the year for the horror genre. An innovative, small budget film from England, where monsters meet monsters.
2. Wizard of Gore – For the fan of the off-beat, surreal plot that needs to be watched more that once to be comprehended. And every time you watch there’s something new still. If you liked Videodrome, you’ll love this.
3. Diary of the Dead – The latest offering from the maestro, George Romero, this flick gives another prospective of the beginning of the outbreak. Actually I was hooked at George Romero.
4. Mother of Tears – Another flick from across the pond, this time Italy offers up it‘s own brand of horror through Dario Argento. Witchcraft, medieval killing devices, and Asia Argento, yippee ti yo ki yay.
5. Fox Home Entertainment Triple Feature Repackaging – This was one of my favorite ideas this year. Packaging 3 – 4 movies in one reasonably priced set. There are 36 flicks in 10 packages. A great way to pick-up a favorite and try something else.
