Spiral is by far the best saw movie. As a huge fan of the franchise, this movie delivers everything that makes the saw movies great, and does away with everything that makes them bad. Unlike, other saw films, this is very story centered. The plot is quite easy to follow and making it more about plot then traps makes the traps more entertaining when they hit. Although the traps are not super gory, and they're not even the most graphic traps in the series, they are still very brutal and hard to watch. The acting is obviously much better than the other films and even the soundtrack hits well. The main thing that makes this work is by getting rid of jigsaw letting the movie be its own thing, with a saw style, than making it connect to John Kramer. Only real flaw is that its twist is incredibly predictable.
What a unique and underrated 80's dramedy. All the performances are great, and all the characters are relatable. The entire feel of the film is just real, no matter what decade you went to high school, the whole feel of things is just nostalgic and realistic. It has a nice mixture of comedic and sad moments, and the ending is handled perfectly, it could have been really bad. Surprised that this movie isn't as popular as other teen 80's films, but it can always be rediscovered. Definitely worth the watch.
Zombi Holocaust is much better than I expected. Its actually one of the better Italian cannibal films. The movie has horrible acting and editing, the plot twists are way too obvious, and the ending is sorta dumb. However, does that matter? The main reason these movies are good is because of the gore, and this is one of the gorier of the cannibal movies, if not the goriest. A zombie's face is eviscerated with a boat moder, there are two very graphic cannibal gut munching scenes, multiple surgery scenes that contain lots of gore, among other gory mayhem throughout the movie. If any of that sounds fun or exciting then this movie is for you. Besides CH, this is more entertaining than the other cannibal films. Even the plot is more original than the other films. If you can get past the bad parts of the movie, and enjoy cheesy b movies, than this should be a must.
