The Under-Ranked: Halloween
31, Oct 2010
by Ross Bonaime
For most people, Halloween represents Trick-or-Treating, superfluous amounts of candy and dressing up in ridiculous costumes. But for film fans, it is the time of year when horror films are in abundance. This year, we’ve been given horror sequels such as Saw 3D and Paranormal Activity 2 and TVs are sure to be packed with the horror films that are to be expected, such as The Exorcist and The Shining. But for those looking for something a little different from the norm, here are some of the great under-ranked horror films on Flickchart that will surprise you this Halloween.

Do you consider any of this week’s Blu-ray and DVD releases to be one of the Best films of All-Time?
Splice (DVD and Blu-ray | R | 2009)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best science fiction horror movies of all time?
Flickchart Rank: #4719
|
Adrien Brody stars in the new movie I’m looking most forward to this Tuesday. I love science fiction stories about experiments gone wrong and it looks like most Flickchart users have been rating this one very well.
The Karate Kid (DVD and Blu-ray | PG | 2010)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best martial arts movies of all time?
Flickchart Rank: #5065
|
I generally am OK with remakes if for no other reason than they finally give me some incentive to watch the original. The original was a solid little Rocky-clone and everything I’ve heard about this modern remake seems to be pretty positive too.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (DVD & Blu-ray | R | 2010)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best slasher movies of all time?
Flickchart Rank: #5577
|
Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger.
The Human Centipede (DVD & Blu-ray | NR | 2009)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best sadistic horror movies of all time?
Flickchart Rank: #6603
|
I don’t have the stomach to watch a human centipede in action but I am impressed by how nuts this movie seems to be.
The Secret of Kells (DVD & Blu-ray | NR | 2009)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best animated movies of all time?
Flickchart Rank: #6523
|
Best Animated feature nominee at 2010′s Oscars. Also on Netflix Instant Watch this week.
The Oxford Murders (DVD & Blu-ray | R | 2008)

Jesse Eisenberg stars in one of those movies about a young Jewish man dealing drugs that seems to come out every few years.
Space Chimps 2: Zartog Strikes Back (DVD (DTV) | PG | 2010)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best animal movies of all time?
Flickchart Rank: Just Added

I actually kinda liked the first Space Chimps. It’s a little ridiculous, brightly-colored and features some decent voice acting. Can’t say I’m excited to see what a DTV sequel looks like though.
30 Days of Night: Dark Days (DVD and Blu-ray (DTV) | R | 2010)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best monster movies of all time?
Flickchart Rank: #17730

The Last Exorcism, Independent Horror, and You
2, Sep 2010
It’s been more than 11 years since The Blair Witch Project brought a new kind of independent horror film to a new generation of viewers. I remember the hype that surrounded that film and I strongly remember that I, a much younger horror fan at the time, lapped it up like a plate of nachos. I also have memories of the film ending, the theater lights coming on, and being able to hear plenty of people around me saying something like “Wow, that’s the worst movie I’ve ever seen!”
This weekend, I sat and watched The Last Exorcism – the latest do-it-yourself horror film to rise from humble beginnings and to be showcased on multiplex screens – and again found myself feeling the same kind of excitement that arose from Blair Witch. I’ve already reviewed the film and, in short, I found myself fascinated by the film’s portrayal of religion and the powerful performances by Patrick Fabian and Ashley Bell that kept it rolling). But as the film ended, I heard the same disgusted reactions from people around me.
First Impressions Are the Most Important
4, Mar 2010
I’m sure it’s hard to believe, but movie fans haven’t always had the choice between seeing a movie at a theater or waiting to watch it on video. Much has already been made of Disney’s decision to limit its forthcoming Alice in Wonderland to just thirteen weeks of theatrical exhibition, before releasing it on Blu-ray and DVD. Young fans might not know it, but there was indeed a time when you could entirely forget about a movie between its theatrical debut and its home video release. (Then again, knowing the attention spans of some, this is probably still true.)
I bring this up because the choice continues to evolve for most movie fans: Go to the theater or wait and see it at home? I’m not going to explore the pros or cons of either environment, but rather I’m interested this time in exploring how where we see a movie impacts our feelings about that movie.
