of increasingly weird scenarios in which
max develops a brain tumor grows a VCR

front number nine cube a cult classic so
popular it led to a sequel and a prequel
this perplexing film about strangers
trapped in a giant booby-trapped Q split
critics
as with most cult films the acting and
script weren’t its strongest assets
but director vincenzo natali creates a
hypnotizing thriller that never breaks
tension but let’s face it cult audiences
ain’t watching this one for the turmoil
between the characters they’re more
interested in pure unadulterated gore
bad and Cube does not disappoint I must
remind you that the scanning experience
is usually a painful one
number eight scanners drawing from the
period-specific obsession with psychic
phenomena scanners has all the hallmarks
of a b-movie romp
the kill Ben Pierce yes come on upstairs
and director David Cronenberg ramps up
the gore with above-average effects and
head splitting scenes

explodes not relevant but cult fans
appreciate it as a thrilling film with
enough meat to spawn sequels and
spin-offs also gotta love that gore
goddamn conjured cutthroats number seven
The Hills Have Eyes incestuous cannibals
strike a chord of fear in the human
psyche even though they rarely get their
time to shine as horror movie villains
what the hell is this
let’s set some stuff back following the
traditional horror flick set up the
Carter Family is vacationing across
America one night they stop in the midst
of a barren desert and are ambushed by a
freakishly disfigured clan of
hillbillies you see classic terror
ensues with its imaginative and funny
elements making it stand out among its
horror peers okay pseudo The Hills Have
Eyes is a cult classic
I’m Colin papa uh human spirit is
corrupted why do we worship Reed number
six they live you right the first son of
a bitch to wake up out of their dream
whether chewing bubblegum or kicking ass
this 80s sci-fi horror comedy delivers
all-out action and alien invasion
goodness with a wrestler thrown in for
good measure
produced on a low budget like many John
Carpenter films they live has garnered a
healthy cult following for its engaging
story and perfect blend of horror and
comedy she looks like a regular person
doesn’t she huh put him back on from
maldehyde face made when the fear of
government intrusion was at an all-time
high
what’s your problem this movie doubles
as an interesting commentary on American
politics even today all the sex and
violence on the screen has gone too far
for me
damn fine custom number five dead alive
finger Peter Jackson’s directing career
was catapulted by this feature-length
tribute to blood guts and gastly gore
yes the Lord of the Rings Peter Jackson
known as brain dead in its native New
Zealand and produced for a comparatively
low sum in contrast to other
contemporary horror flicks this cult
classic offers impressive production
values and satisfying b-movie gore it’s
also notable for its genuine comedic
performances and no-holds-barred actions
all I can ask for the Lord it’s
tasteless messy and awesome party’s over
number four re-animator loosely based on
the work of cult horror author HP
Lovecraft reanimate er tells the story
of Herbert West and his trusty companion
as they go about finding a cure for
death big wackier and someone more
comedic in tone than its source material
this horror classic delves into
Lovecraftian lure with ghoulish glee
what are you doing on my road the film’s
impressive practical effects and hammy
performances put it in the same category
as the film’s we are about to list
foolish fatal mistake of coming here to
challenge me oh I have a plan and not
gonna do you any good he likes that
knife remember number three the Texas
Chainsaw Massacre
produced on a shoestring budget this
cult classic became relatively
successful at the box office word of
mouth got around and soon everyone was
rushing to see the antics of leather
face and his hillbilly family exploring
the concepts of isolation primal
instincts and murdered by power tools
tobe Hooper’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre
set a precedent for the senseless
slaying of sexy teens and broke new
ground much like George a Romero’s Night
of the Living Dead did before it I see
things found this number to the thing oh
yeah what the hell happened here dark
brooding and tensely apocalyptic this
John Carpenter film about a murderous
alien entity didn’t fare extremely well
at the box office when it was released
you see what we’re talking about here is
an organism that imitates other
life-forms that’s probably because it
opened at roughly the same time as et
the extra-terrestrial and it offered a
completely opposing and antagonistic
portrayal of possible alien life damage
while that might have put off audiences
over time it’s following grew like a
slow contagion thanks to home video and
it’s now considered a classic of course
innama before we let our top picks scare

honorable mentions

I don’t know number one the Evil Dead
before his wildly popular spider-man
trilogy Sam Raimi was easily the king of
cult filmmaking please after all in his
first foray into feature-length movies
he created the Evil Dead that low-budget
romp sees Bruce Campbell star as ash a
man who finds himself in supernatural
situations when he and some friends
vacation in a remote cabin yeah I think
