I stole this idea from MoonFoxx....hope you don't mind.

Cannibal Holocust (Uncut Version)- The most violent, graphic, brutal, cruel, disturbing, shocking film I have ever seen. Outside of the controversy lies a great story and scenery with a powerful message that ties it all together. This is truely horror at its best. If you have the stomach to watch this then this is an essential film that you must watch at some point in your life to see the evil side of humanity that many of us forget exists.
Rating: 5/5

Dawn Of The Dead (Original)- One of the worst horror films I have seen. Terrible plot, terrible supporting cast, and a lifeless atmosphere (pun intended). It moves at a very slow pace and even when it starts to pick up its still mediocre at best with large breaks in the action, normally this wouldn't be a bad thing for plot development purposes but since a decent plot is non-existent this is a very bad thing. The only redeeming quality is that the last 20 minutes are pretty good but I don't think that makes the film worth watching. Considered a classic but its one I didn't enjoy.
Rating: 2/5

Day Of The Dead- A lot better then its predecessor Dawn Of The Dead. Not as much action as you would expect for a zombie horror film but this can be forgiven because the plot is excellent as are the characters (Bub being the the greatest zombie ever created). When the action does come its very satisfying with great gore effects. If you want a zombie film that focuses totally on the action with a non-existant plot then stay far away from Day of the Dead, but if you like a great plot with sparse but satisfying action then this is a great film to see by the genius George Romero.
Rating: 4/5

Land Of The Dead- Romero took the same approach as Day Of The Dead but he misses the mark in this installment of the dead series. Both the plot and characters, which were excellent in Day Of The Dead, are below average. The idea of turning the zombies into a kind of "super" zombies was an interesting idea but it simply wasn't developed well enough making it superfluous. I love that Romero stuck with the formula of Day Of The Dead which was my favorite movie in the Dead series, but sadly Land Of The Dead is way too flawed to recommend. Hopefully Romero can improve on the next installment of this long lived series.
Rating: 2.5/5

Candyman- Very creepy film that was hair-raising throughout. Candyman is a great character which makes up for the sub-par plot. Your not going to want to look in a mirror after watching this. Great film with a lot of good scares.
Rating: 4.5/5

I don't mind! I love reading about movies people watch, so this is awesome I've seen them all except the first one. Since you gave it a 5/5 I'm definitely going to check it out! I prefer the Dawn of the Dead remake.. and I'm assuming you might like it more too seeing you gave the original such a low rating. I don't blame you really.

Candyman is excellent. I think there are sequels, but I don't remember them much. Wait til you see my next blog when I review a bunch of Japanese horror movies I'll be watching soon. I rented them from Blockbuster.com. Might not be til next week though.
