My Top 12 Horror Films of 2019

It was a great year in Horror Films. Horror films domestic and foreign, Horror television series popping out of nowhere via VOD, Cable Broadcast, Internet, Horror film festivals. Now Is hard to keep up with the Horror genre more than ever.  Not only a great year in Horror films but also great performances, but that will be another blog. So here is my list of my top 12 horror films of 2019.

1. CLIMAX

2. READY OR NOT

3. US

4. MIDSOMMAR

5. CRAWL

6. DOCTOR SLEEP

7. IT: CHAPTER 2

8. BRIGHTBURN

9. MA

10. HAUNT

11. HOLE IN THE GROUND

12. IN FABRIC

Gaspar Noe CLIMAX is my number #1 film - a very disturbing film. Set in the early 90's, a dance troupe of great dancers practice their dancing at an isolated empty school loft, when someone spikes the fruit punch with LSD, the dancers practically dance to their death on LSD, and some go beyond cuckoo inside the loft, while an amazing disco and house classic music soundtrack plays in the background. Gaspar Noe direction, the cinematography and powerful performances will blow you away. 

R.I.P. SID HAIG - A LEGEND

Very sad news today, legendary actor Sid Haig, star of dozens of tv shows and movies since the 60's, and legendary for his film performances in many blaxploitation films and in Rob Zombie HOUSE OF A 1000 CORPSES, LORDS OF SALEM, DEVIL'S REJECTS, and the upcoming 3 FROM HELL his last film, passed away at the age of 80. He truly was an amazing man. He was very nice at the horror film conventions to his fans.  Sadly you are here today and tomorrow you are gone, the thought is just terrifying. 

The Final Wish - Review

The Final Wish, Directed by Timothy Woodard Jr. and Written by Jeffrey Reddick (Creator of Final Destination). 

A struggling lawyer Aaron (played by Michael Welch) comes to his hometown after receiving bad news that his father passed away. On returning home, he is not so well received by his mom (Lynn Shaye). She feels Aaron has shunned her and the dad. Aaron finds an artifact at home that belonged to his dad. The artifact grants you wishes that turn shady and deadly.

So here is the reading of this film:  Is awfully slow – At 1 hour and 35 minutes the film drags, and drags, practically going nowhere, waiting for the Djinn to do a peek-a-boo, in which he does a quick pop up after 55 minutes into the film. The Djinn looks like a man in a rubber costume suit, wearing a battery operated animatronic mask that looks like it was bought from Party City. The Final Wish should be re-edited for a faster pace version. The trailer is better than the film. If you are expecting action, thrilling horror, and jump scares, you got the wrong motion picture. The only thing that saved this film was watching Lin Shaye and Tony Todd doing their great performances. The rest of the acting is crappy and so rottenly cheesy. 

The best WTF Silly line from the film: “This is the 21^stCentury, What do you mean curse?”

The film is a SLOPPY MESS.
