Witchboard (Tenney, 1986)||||||4
Despite the apparent rating, Witchboard is shockingly not bad, nor trying to be bad (which was refreshing), with shocking attention to logic and character intelligence. Ultimately stupid, though. Sucky finish.

The Equinox: A Journey Into the Supernatural (Woods et al., 1970)|||||3.5
Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (Murnau, 1922)|||||8
New Nightmare (Craven, 1994)|||||5
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (Lord & Miller, 2009)|||||5.5
* Planet of the Vampires (Bava, 1965)|||||5.5

Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural (Blackburn, 1973)|||||6
The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (Six, 2010)|||||4
Stupid and mostly shoddy, but it at least approaches fulfilling its provocative premise with the needed poignancy and sense of the ordeal.
The Plague of the Zombies (Gilling, 1966)|||||5.5
Bigger Than Life (Ray, 1956)|||||8.5
Joins The Prowler as a 50s film that slow-burns through a seemingly prosaic set-up but eventually blows up to mind-blowing allegorical proportions.
* "The Damned Thing" (Hooper, 2006) (Masters of Horror, Season 2) (TV Series)|||||2.5

Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (Hickox, 1992)|||||4
Hellbound: Hellraiser (Randel, 1988)|||||4.5
Too bad director Tony Randel only went on to an Amityville sequel and Power Rangers episodes, because he does shockingly A-class work here.* Martin (Romero, 1977)|||||8.5
The House That Dripped Blood (Duffell, 1971)|||||4
