It (1990)
Jun 10, 2016Stephen King Adaptation/Killer Clown Monster
Stephen King adapted mini-series and one of the best. A dark Coming of Age tale, Tim Curry makes an unsettling Pennywise (in doing so popularised the figure of the killer clown)
Emily Perkins
Past Perfect (1996)
Dec 12, 2004Assassins from the Future/Action
SF action film with Eric Roberts as a future cop travelling through time trying to stop kids before they become criminals
Ginger Snaps (2000)
Aug 2, 2001Teenage Girl Werewolves
Witty, wryly sarcastic modern take on the werewolf film where two teenage sister become affected – sort of like a remake of I Was a Teenage Werewolf by way of Ghost World. Two sequels followed.
Ginger Snaps Back: The Begining (2004)
Jul 25, 2007Teenage Girl Werewolves
Third of the Ginger Snaps films, a prequel set during the pioneer era with Emily Perkins and Katharine Isabelle again as sisters taking refuge at a fort under attack by werewolves. The scene-setting and atmosphere of foreboding is superlative
Ginger Snaps: Unleashed (2004)
Jan 7, 2006Teenage Girl Werewolf
The first of two sequels to the Canadian werewolf film. This takes place with the surviving sister placed in a rehab facility and is the best of the trilogy, even better than the first film was in its writing and characters
Extraterrestrial (2014)
Jul 3, 2015Aliens Attack in the Backwoods
Group of twentysomethings go to a cabin in the woods, are abducted and attacked by E.T.s. I wanted to like this but there is something generic and interchangeable about everything that is happening
