21. WHEN A STRANGER CALLS (1979) Does a lot with a little, but also does little a lot.

20. 28 YEARS LATER (2025) Garth Marenghi-quote-about-authors-who-use-subtext-ass movie (complimentary).

19. 28 WEEKS LATER (2007) Incredible that this movie was made in the time period it was made in, as it is a pretty biting commentary on the GWOT. Unrelated, I am happy to know that Max Scherzer would be immune to the rage virus.

18. PARTY LINE (1988) A movie so utterly and stereotypically 80s it could have been made in the 2010s. For example, a body is disposed of in neon-soaked LA by Leif Garrett driving a Ferrari 208.

17. CLEARCUT (1991) Unreal film. What a picture. As relevant and raw as when it was released. Graham Greene was such a gift.

16. MADHOUSE (1981) This one was banned as a part of the "video nasty" era and, honestly, I get it.

15. SKINNER (1993) Have you ever wanted to see what Ed Gein would be like as a 1960's Batman villain?

14. SLAUGHTER HIGH (1986) A bunch of Brits play Americans resulting in uncanny accents that are emblematic of this film as a whole where everything is just a little off, like sipping milk before you realize it's spoiled (complimentary).

13. WEAPONS (2025) Rated R You Afraid of the Dark?

12. I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER (2025) I was 12 for the OG, so it is like a core deal for me. This one is mostly silly, but Cline and Wonders should be in like 5-10 more movies together.

11. PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (1925) Painfully good and demonstrates that we have flown so far from the sun in 100 years. Reverse Icarus-ass era we live in.

10. FINAL DESTINATION BLOODLINES (2025) Hollywood North brings the heat. A delight.

9. COMMUNION (1989) Was not prepared for this to be a straight adaptation of the book. I'm immersed in the World According to Whit, so I knew the notes, but someone going into this blind is very funny to me. Walken is the most otherworldly thing about this.

8. BODY MELT (1993) A touch of Tobe, a trickle of Troma, a bit of ooze from Oceanic neighbour Jackson, but very much its own oddball thing. Would make a great gross double bill with THE SUBSTANCE.

7. LONGLEGS (2023) You ever have too many ideas?

6. THE MONKEY (2025) While the dialogue and humour can be a bit overwrought at times, it mostly lands and the splatter satisfies in this piece of ape escapism.

5. SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION (1990) It is such a pleasure to witness an artist at the height of their powers. Truly "Over 9000!" stuff. Hooper throwing heat (literally) and everyone involved from the set-director to the always-good Dourif respond in kind.

4. CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD (2025) Would be a thousand times better if they had gone with a visual motif other than the titular clown.

3. ALTERED STATES (1980) A blind spot no more, it is hard not to see this in 2025 as unintentionally one of the rocks upon which the manosphere was built. Still it is visually stunning; an 80s update of the Val Lewton recipe of transmogrification melodrama.

2. SPREE (2020) Remember the difference between 1995 and 2000? How different that felt? We've been stuck in the horrific moment portrayed in this film for forever; an endless megapixel panopticon purgatory. Track is incredible though.

1. LAKE MUNGO (2008) Exquisitely made simulacrum of the true crime doccos it emulates. This digital-era echo of TWIN PEAKS, like the Lynch series it cites, is more a sombre rumination on isolation than a found-footage freakout.
