After having watched a fair number of Italian zombie films I assumed I had seen harshest of their harshest. I could not have been further from the truth.  I do agree with Dr.Gor on the Inspiration part to the Blair Witch Project.  However this left one hell of impact.  I can say that the scenes in this film hit you on a deeper level.  I was a bit shaken....and stirred.  Again it should be understood that this is not for everyone, but for those that can handle it, Cannibal Holocaust has to be seen to be believed.

Ah where to begin.  Not the first slasher film but for sure one of the most memorable.  Freddy Kruger is the ultimate bad guy...one thats creative and not stupid.  Although thru the years and sequels he became a bit of a joker the original was truly creepy.  I spent a many hours myself afraid to fall asleep for I knew that my imagination coupled with this film would damn near kill me in my sleep.  Although Last House on the Left was his most disturbing, Wes Craven's A Nightmare On Elm Street was a great achivement in horror films.

This was an unexpected treat.  I have to say that even though I watched it on DVD it still had an impact.  If you have the chance you need to find a copy on VHS and watch that.  It has an really good effect that way.  I will no doubt recommend this film to anyone who enjoys horror.  Its not to often anymore that I have that tingle rush up my spine at the conclusion of a film but this reminded me of why I love horror films.
