1922
Really Great 17 Points 2017

Scream
Really Great 5 Points 1996

Simultaneously embracing and lampooning the conventions of the slasher genre while re-inventing the genre wheel in it’s infectious tone, “Scream” is one of horror maestro Wes Craven’s greatest films, comfortably ranking alongside the likes of his brilliant “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” Cookie-cutt…

Halloween
Really Great 32 Points 1978

A classic that remains as powerful and amazing as it was nearly 30 years ago. This low budget masterpiece is what horror was originally all about, and spawned generations of imitations, a remake and 7 sequels that never lived up to the same level. This film has developed a cult following and to …
