If you can give yourself over to the nightmare that is Climax, I think you’ll find a lot to love.

"Midsommar" (2019) Review
For the right person, Midsommar comes at the highest recommendation.
"Halloween" (2018) Review
I had an absolute blast with Halloween, despite its one major flaw.
"Creepshow" (1982) Review
Horror anthologies are an acquired taste but Creepshow ranks near the top of the best horror anthologies I can think of.
"Creepers," a.k.a. "Phenomena" (1985) Review
Creepers is a narrative disaster that's not quite stylish enough to even recommend.
"Lake of Dracula" (1971) Review
Lake of Dracula suffers from truly bizarre plotting, but pays off massively during its pure horror sequences.
"Sledgehammer" (1983) Review
For fans of schlock horror, Sledgehammer, against all odds, is essential viewing.
"The Fog" (1980) Review
The Fog is one of the best bits of atmospheric horror out there, beautifully low in scope and contained.
"Hereditary" (2018) Review
For hardcore fans of the genre looking for genuinely excellent slow-burn horror, this is at the top of its class.
"A Quiet Place" (2018) Review
A Quiet Place isn't a thematically deep or challenging horror film, but it's great at being a super scary creature feature with a great hook.
"Get Out" (2017) Review
Get Out is a real deal horror masterpiece and my personal favorite film of 2017.
"The Mutilator"/"Fall Break" (1984) Review
As far as horror schlock goes, The Mutilator isn't even a super remarkable entry in that pantheon, but it has just enough insanity to recommend it to horror enthusiasts.
"Death Spa" (1989) Review
Despite its absurd and borderline insane premise, I think I might really love Death Spa.
Jacob's Favorite Christmas Films: #4. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993)
The Nightmare Before Christmas is a true masterpiece of animation, heightened by literal decades worth of reverence to its influences.
Jacob's Favorite Christmas Films: #6. "Gremlins" (1984)
Yes, it counts. Barely.
Jacob's Favorite Christmas Films: #10. "Krampus" (2015)
Krampus is arguably the most cynical film on my list of ten, but it still ultimately fits onto the list.
"Don't Go in the Woods" (1981) Review
For horror completionists looking for obscure 80s slasher films, you might do well watching this. But that's an admittedly narrow niche.
"Poltergeist" (1982) Review
Why would ever try to make a film about suburbia dealing with ghosts when Poltergeist is essentially perfect?
"House" (1977) Review
So, there's this movie about seven girls that go to a house in the countryside.
"The Thing" (1982) Review
How do you even start to talk about a film like The Thing?
