Rapiña - This really isn't a horror movie despite being in a set more or less sold as a horror set, it's barely a thriller and seems like more of a drama than anything to me but I found it really enjoyable despite my expectations. A plane crashes in a remote location and the one person who sees it happen doesn't report it so he can go and loot the wreckage but trying to hide what they have done once the plane is discovered proves a lot harder than they thought. It's not a very eventful movie and the characters in this are pretty stupid, often this is a recipe for disaster for me as far as movies go but this managed to keep me interested and not bore me. Lately I've been thinking about revisiting A Simple Plan and in some ways this is a similar movie.
Darker than Night - From the same set as Rapiña and an actual horror movie! ...too bad it's so boring. A young woman inherits a house but must care for the cat that lives there, she moves in with her friends, the cat dies, and the girls start getting killed off. The main problem with this one is that it takes so long for things to start happening but there's also the fact that this thing barely has an ending, it basically just ends.
Dr. Giggles - Every time I put this in it seems more stupid than I remembered it being but fortunately it's always fun. It's striking how silly some of the kills are, like the big band aid one, while some are pretty brutal, like the stomach pump one. A winner since the VHS days!
Smile - This movie definitely has some creepy moments that stay with you long after you see it, the movie definitely does that well and stands out in that regard, but sadly the movie is too damn long and boring for this to really matter; the ending was pretty meh too. I think this would have been a lot better if it was 20 or so minutes shorter.
The Rejuvenator - The cover of the old VHS used to always grab my attention at the video store but I always had a suspicion that the movie would be pretty underwhelming, decades later I was finally able to confirm this suspicion! It wasn't terrible and I didn't hate it but there also wasn't really anything I liked much about it.
