It's horror movie season in the US and my favorite type is zombies. I also love campy B movies. Watching Dead Snow 2 right now and I think it ranks up there with Shawn of the Dead and Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness.

What is your top pick for whatever genre?

Bob Roberts, a true tale of political horror.

"The shutter" the original asian one. I remember watching it when it came out and loved it. ETA and the original Halloween of course but I also liked Rob Zombie's version of it.

Army of Darkness.

One of my favorites, one I feel is hugely underrated, Michael Wadleigh's 1981 Wolfen, which is not about werewolves, but ecological displacement, loss of habitat from urban development (among other issues), and not terrorism


a conclusion initially drawn by the police


but territory. With Albert Finney, Diane Venora, Gregory Hines, Edward James Olmos, and Tom Noonan. Its release in theaters was eclipsed by โ€œThe Howlingโ€ and โ€œAn American Werewolf in Londonโ€, but Wolfen is not merely a horror movie, but an intelligent one, ahead of its time IMHO. The confrontation atop the Manhattan Bridge between Finney and Olmos (see below, not a spoiler), which still makes my knees weak, involves no stunt doubles. The film also has beautiful dog sequences, imaginative cimenatography, and yes, some gore.
