52. Session 9 (2001) Another slow burn, psychological horror, "it follows an asbestos abatement crew who begin to experience growing tensions while working in an abandoned mental asylum (Danvers State Hospital); this is paralleled by the gradual revelation of a former patient's disturbed past through recorded audio tapes of her regression sessions." The movie is also pretty open to interpretation, whether it's the stress of an impossible deadline which causes one of the crew to snap, or possession by a malevolent entity which haunts the abandoned and decaying building.
53. Evil Dead (2013) Yet another iteration of the Sam Raimi story, this time updated for a contemporary audience and mostly playing it straight and serious, focusing on the horror and gore, though at the end of the opening sequence it almost feels like an outtake from Drag Me To Hell and doesn't really fit with the rest of the scene, which starts relatively strong, but ends with some mediocre acting and bad CGI. Unfortunately, that really pulled me out of the movie, which then introduces its main cast, who aren't particularly interesting or compelling either, hell, the character of Natalie is just there in the background as "the girlfriend" until she's dragged into the cellar, bitten, then lops off her arm and becomes a Deadite. There's also a sort of third act "twist" which really doesn't work very well since it doesn't feel earned. Outside of that, though, the effects, makeup and prosthetic work is really good and the filmmakers didn't skimp on the blood, it could be that this is only the second time I've seen the movies, but some of the mutilation and dismemberment scenes were a bit difficult to watch.
54. Halloween (2007) Rob Zombie's much maligned remake/reimagining of the John Carpenter classic. While I understand the complaints, I'm not as obsessive and precious about the original and appreciate the film on its own merits, and I think Zombie did a fine job incorporating, updating and expanding upon the most important aspects of the Micheal Myers mythos from the previous entries. It may be heresey to some, but it currently stands in my top five Halloween films, and is arguably the best of Rob Zombie's ouvre.
