Jackhammer's Horror Corner (American, review, quote, Ching)

jackhammer · 09-30-2008, 02:10 PM

Welcome to Jackhammer's Horror corner. From time to time I will review some of my favourite Horror films or those lesser known to you and maybe introduce you to some cult classics and hidden gems. A few films you will know but don't expect general Hollywood fare such as 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' etc. That claptrap is not horror.

Horror does not have to be gratuitously violent (although you will be getting some of that) or does it have to make sense (Lucio Fulci) to make me enjoy it. The budget does'nt have to be astronomical, indeed a low budget often forces a director to be more innovative (think John Carpenter. Since he's had bigger budgets his films have got worse). I also like Humour in Horror films and sometimes even SBTG films (So Bad They're Good) earn a place on my DVD shelf.

Expect treats such as British Hammer Films, Asian shockers, Italian Giallos, American Grindhouse and the new French renaissance to make an appearance.

If you don't like Horror, just read the reviews for something different and if you do like Horror, then I hope I will include at least one of your favourites in here.

If you have any suggestions or would to like to see a review of a film just PM me. I will review each film immediatedly after reappraising each one.
