After the original "Paranormal Activity" heightened my awareness of the potential for a creepy flick, that was the LAST STRAW for me when it came to new-age horror. The genre has been severely suffering. However, I've been hearing nothing but great things about "Sinister." I'm not 100% sold and it would take a little bit more convincing for me to spend money at the cinema on another horror movie. Hmmm.

The first Phantasm is scary. The rest are pure cheese.

The second film is a very solid sequel.
Phantasm III totally sucked.
Phantasm IV nearly undid all the damage the third film did, and it was cool to see the return of Bill Thornbury (Jody).

The Shining is more funny then scary though. My wife rented the video back in '96 and we got drunk and watched it at home. We had to replay the bathroom scene about a dozen times it was so funny. Especially how Jack looks when he hears Grady say who's been sent from the outside.

I think Phantasm 1 is very much one of a kind. It follows a surreal nightmarish dream logic. The second one is a bad action/road movie, with none of the mystique of the first one. The third is balls-to-the-wall camp and slapstick. Say what you will, but at least it confidently commits to being goofy. The fourth is just a boring cheap clip show. Not even much of a movie. Sad really. Tarantino's bud, Roger Avary, wrote a cool script called Phatasm 1999 back in the day. I think Bruce Campbell was even attached. But Coscarelli could never secure financing. Hopefully, we'll get a part 5 at some point.

Back in '96? I don't remember what movies I saw in the theatre in 1996, let alone what movies I rented...
Anyway, I don't think The Shining is funny, but I do think the acting does NOT hold up to repeat viewings. This was always in my top 3-4 scary movies of all time, and I still watch it a couple times a year, but it's getting more unbearable to watch Shelley Long, Nicholson, and little Danny Torrance's horrible acting with each viewing...
