4th Annual Halloween Horror Fest - Reviews
Saw	***'
[2004] Cary Elwes, Danny Glover directed by: James Wan Very cool movie with an awesome ending! The one problem is the acting - it's horrible, and noticeably so. But other that than, it's a solid horor movie with great new ideas and twists and turns.
imdb
Saw II	***'
[2005] Tobin Bell, Donnie Wahlberg directed by: Darren Lynn Bousman Just as good and maybe better than the first one.The acting is much improved and not an issue, the twists and turns continue, just not quite as awesome an ending. But rarely do you get such a good sequel.
imdb
Shivers	********
[1975] Paul Hampton, Joe Silver directed by: David Cronenberg What an interesting movie, considering it was made before AIDS really entered our society. It involves a sexually transmited parasite that takes over your body and makes you only think of sex, so it spreads very fast. Good Cronenberg gore, with a social message and an unhappy ending - great stuff.
imdb
Bad Taste	********
[1987] Terry Potter, Pete O'Herne directed by: Peter Jackson In the same vein as Dead Alive, this movie is full of stylized gore and violance, and just a lot of fun. Aliens take over a small town and package all the humans up to serves as intergalactic fast food. To save the day is a nerdy scientist/rambo group who blow up, decapitate, stab, mutilate and otherwise demolish the aliens.

The Changeling
[1980] George C. Scott, Trish Van Devere directed by: Peter Medak Sadly, I fell asleep and didn't get to this movie, I guess I'm getting old. Will try and watch soon.
