Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
First time seeing this since I was in middle school and fortunately age hasn't made it bad. I was actually surprised at how well I remembered certain shots, like Leatherface's first kill with the hammer. The closeup shots on the faces and eyes of Sally during the climactic dinner scene were also really good at creating a good scare, as well as the sounds. I forgot how eerie some of the sounds in this movie were.
The Dunwich Horror (1970)
I really wanted to like this one more than I did, but I would be lying if I said I thought it was great, or even pretty good. I'm not sure if it was the B-movie effects or that I just never found Lovecraft's original "Dunwich Horror" story to be that scary in the first place, but there was nothing particularly frightening about this movie, or even really psychological titillating. Definitely not as good as other Lovecraft incarnations like
ReAnimator (1985) or
Dagon (2001) and only makes me yearn for the Guillermo del Toro adaptation of
At the Mountains of Madness even more.
