LIGHTS OUT SHORT VS FEATURE MOVIE

The bite-sized thriller was so successful it spawned a feature film that’s filled with Scotophobia (fear of darkness), unleashing a monster that hides in the shadows. Sandberg took on Annabelle and joined forces with Shazam, he gained notoriety for his short film Lights Out. Stars: Teresa Palmer, Gabriel Bateman, Maria Bello, Billy Burkeīefore David F.Hope you don’t hate clowns as much as Columbus. Twinkies, rules for surviving a zombie apocalypse, and a stellar cast complete with one of the best cameos you can imagine makes for an undead crowd-pleaser.

Zombieland not only injected new life into the zombie subgenre, but brought a sense of humor back to horror films. Maybe that’s because of the “torture porn” craze post-Saw or the avalanche of studio remakes. Zombieland is one of the top-tier horror comedies of the 2000s. Stars: Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson, Abigail Breslin.Note : Dawn of the Dead will be leaving Netflix on August 1. In this case of originals and remakes, two Dawns are better than one. As an early adopter of “fast zombies,” with a morbid sense of humor and breakneck intensity, 2004’s Dawn of the Dead is a pulse-pounding reimagining of Romero’s consumerism satires with a nu-age ferocious bite.

Not only that, but the first-person-shooter scene is a brilliant translation of video games to screen, and plays just as well over a decade later. Director Andrzej Bartkowiak knows the movie he’s making - pure entertainment schlock that fits an all-important midnight programming slot all about kickin’ ass and BFGs. Yes, the Dwayne Johnson and Karl Urban video game adaptation where space marines fight cosmic demons that attack a Mars science facility.

Stars: Karl Urban, Rosamund Pike, Dwayne Johnson, Deobia Opareiĭoom rules and I’ll hear nothing otherwise.

The film’s legacy speaks for itself - the “Katie Corpse” jump scare alone has outlived entire horror releases since forgotten. Verbinski executes fright after fright as Samara claims victims after their seven days are up, responsible for what’s handily one of scariest films of its decade. A cast including Naomi Watts, Martin Henderson and Brian Cox fight against the soggy-haired Samara’s killer videotape. With reverence paid to Hideo Nakata’s 1998 Ringu - based on Koji Suzuki’s 1991 novel of the same name - The Ring is capital “H” horror.

Stars: Naomi Watts, Martin Henderson, Brian Cox.
