The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1994)
What the...?
The main reason I watched this movie is because Renee Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey were trying to get this taken off the market. I am a horror fan and I am not too particular. However, this was the worst movie that I have ever seen (besides the Mexican vampire movie that you could see the string holding up the bat). The lowest point was a scene where a person appeared with no explanation. I am a big Renee Zellweger fan, but I was not impressed with her in this film. It may have not been her fault, it might have been the script or the director. However, Matthew McConaughey was fantastic! He was absolutely the best psychotic that I have ever seen. He took such joy in what he was doing. I seriously think that none of his subsequent roles were as impressive.
The Ring Two (2005)
suspense all the way
I have seen quite a few horror films, but the Japanese style is fairly new to me. I admire how they can scare you without all the gore that is such a staple in recent American films. I thought the sequel, in spite of its' faults, was much better that the first. It seemed that too much of the first movie was devoted to her research. It did not get interesting until it was more than half over. Many horror/scary movies have a scene where you find yourself yelling at the screen,"Don't do that! Watch out!" This movie delivers from the beginning. In horror films, there are always things that don't make a lot of sense when you think about it. The rules that vampire movies follow change from movie to movie. How does Freddy Krueger manage to kill people while they are sleeping? How come Jason never dies? You have to suspend your sense of reasoning a bit in order to enjoy the movie.
