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

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

Curse of Chucky (2013)

The "Child's Play" franchise started off with a genuinely scary horror premise that slowly spiraled into self mockery and lame jokes, abandoning any real attempt at being considered a horror film. I loved the first two films, never saw the third, saw the fourth on in the theater and was disappointed by what I saw, and skipped the fifth film for obvious reasons. But when I read that the series creator/writer Don Mancini was taking the franchise back to it's roots, I had to see for myself. "Curse of Chucky" is an excellent horror film that takes it time in building up the suspense (Chucky the doll doesn't break character as Chucky the insane murderer until 45 minutes into the film!), while still honoring every movie in the franchise. Jennifer Tilly even makes an appearance that adds a special touch to the film.

Unexpectedly one day, Sarah Pierce and her paraplegic daughter Nica receive a Good Guy doll mailed to them; not knowing who it's from or why it was sent to her, Sarah tosses the doll in to a garbage bin and goes on about her day. That night Nica wakes up when she hears her mother screaming and goes downstairs to find that her mother has committed suicide with knife wounds to her stomach. The next day, Nica's sister Barb, her husband Ian, their daughter Alice, a live in nanny named Jill, and Father Frank come to the house to help Nica with arrangements and to convince Nica to sell the house. Barb is living beyond her means and demands that Nica sell the house and move into a nursing home. While Nica and Barb are having their awkward conversation, young Alice finds Chucky and brings him with her around the house. When no one is looking, Chucky begins to kill the people in the house, starting by poisoning the bowl of chili that Father Frank ate. As the the night progresses, Nica looks into the history of the Good Guy Dolls and comes across news articles about Charles Lee Ray and the association made between him and the Good Guy Doll owned by Andy Barclay. A sub-plot is revealed that Barb is having an affair with Jill and that Ian plans on proving this so he can take full custody of Alice. After Chucky has killed everyone except for Nica, he begins to explain that it was due to Sarah that he was ultimately found and shot 25 years ago, forcing him to transfer his soul into the Good Guy Doll before dying, and because of his cruel torturing of Sarah while she was pregnant is the reason why Nica was born a paraplegic. Before he can kill Nica, the police arrive on the scene and take her into custody, charging and convicting her of killing her family.
