Author's Note - 300th Review and MORE MOVIES YOU MUST SEE!

It's incredible to think that I only have 65 more reviews left before I reach my one year anniversary of starting this project. These past 100 days have been filled with more of the "classic" horror films that I've seen over the years; the ones I grew up watching and the ones that I've bought over the years to watch time and time again. There were some great movies that I got to enjoy again as I worked on the various themes over the past few months.

There are still many great movies to review, much more than 65! Will I continue with writing a review a day, I'm not sure. What I do know is that I'm excited to see and review the films that the twisted minds in Japan and Korea have to offer, as well as reviewing a long list of films I have yet to see for the first time!


And now I present to you the eight films from the past 100 days that I feel that you NEED TO SEE NOW!


  1. "Fritt Vilt" - Set in the beautiful Jotunheimen mountains of Norway, a crazed hermit welcomes five innocent strangers in the only way he knows how, by trying to kill them!                                                 http://hauntingchillingthrilling.blogspot.com/2013/12/fritt-vilt-2006.html                                                      
  2. "Cigarette Burns" - The best episode from the "Masters of Horror" series staring Norman Reedus as a film buff who is hired to find a one-of-a-kind film that is rumored to have been destroyed after it's one and only screening.                                                                                                                             http://hauntingchillingthrilling.blogspot.com/2013/11/cigarette-burns-2005.html                                        
  3. "The Crazies" 2010 Remake - One of the best remakes of any movie I have ever seen!                       http://hauntingchillingthrilling.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-crazies-2010.html                                          
  4. "The Frankenstein Theory" - I might be one of the few people who enjoyed this simple found footage movie but I think it's worth repeating how much I do!                                                                          http://hauntingchillingthrilling.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-frankenstein-theory-2013.html                       
  5. "Curse of Chucky" - The famous killer doll is back and goes back to it's horrific roots. No lame jokes here!                                                                                                                                                  http://hauntingchillingthrilling.blogspot.com/2014/01/curse-of-chucky-2013.html

Black Sheep (2006)

"Black Sheep" is one of the most original, comic/horror hybrids I've ever seen. In the same style as the other famous New Zealand horror flick "Dead Alive", "Black Sheep" fully embraces the absurd and doesn't shy away from intense gore or violence. It should be noted that Weta Workshop created all of the special effects for the film, the same company that Peter Jackson uses for films. The characters are likable, the story is kept simple and easy to follow, and hilarious action is non-stop.


Henry lives on a sheep farm in New Zealand. One day his older brother Angus kills Henry's prize sheep and uses it as a prop to scare his little brother. Right after Angus plays his cruel joke, the brothers find out that their father had died in an accident. This leaves Henry traumatized and he leaves the farm. 15 years later Henry returns to the farm to officially sell his half to his brother, but even after all the years, Henry is still terrified of sheep. And during that time, Angus had begun conducting genetic experiments on the farm's sheep. Henry's fear of sheep is justified when the animals become blood thirsty and try to kill him and the others on the farm, including two environmental activists that are trying to find out the farm's secrets. Grant, one of the environmentalists is bit by one of the test subjects and begins to turn into a sheep-man hybrid. The other environmentalist, a girl named Experience, is saved and joins Henry and his farm hand Trucker. Together they try to figure out what is wrong with the sheep while trying to stay alive. Matters are only made worse after Angus is bit and he holds a business presentation where the guests are attacked and "killed" by a huge flock if infected sheep. At the end, it's a showdown between brother versus sheep-monster brother as the fate of the farm hangs in the balance.
