Terrified (1963 )

Terrified is a black and white picture a psychological thriller more than a gore film almost like "Saw" without all the blood and guts, but its on a gore box set I bought. So I figured I should check it out. The movie starts out in some run down old west city or something and a kid getting buried alive by a masked man. It cuts in with a couple driving peacefully down the road and this lunatic is out trying to run people off the road or play mad games of chicken with unwilling participants.You can only imagine it's the same guy in the mask. I guess it's a good start. The couple pulls into this diner and they are in an up roar over the "near miss". They are introduced to the owner Wesley Blake and he has heard of these car incidents all night. One of these unwilling participants is Ken Lewis who just popped into the diner and he just happens to be writing a mid-term paper on human fear and what better way to research than to hang out in a run down town with a lunatic running around killing people. The whole movie kind of plays off your basic fears the dark, spiders, being lock in a room, drowning and such. I really like it, it must of kept the budget down on film.

I can't say its a really bad movie the acting isn't that bad, the filming is pretty good, and the story line is pretty good too for the time this movie came out. So if you get a chance check it out, it's a classic. You can probably only find it on random horror and gore box sets like the one I got (Gore House Greats)

976-EVIL 2 (1992)

976- EVIL 2 has a great beginning boobs and blood right off the get go. This chick is swimming late one night at school or at least I imagine it's at school. She is showering after she get done swimming and this creepy old guy (Mr.Grubeck) chases her threw the halls and I really want to know why every door is lock at this school. She is obviously there swimming you would think a door would be open so you could leave, well either way she ends up getting impaled and the blood splatter is great! There's a killer in Slate River and Spike is going to find him. Spike is a bad ass biker from the first 976-EVIL. So basically you call this horoscope number and you get what you think is powers and the help of yours truly Satan. Robin is the other main character and right away she is having visions of the first killing.
Mr. Grubeck get arrested for the killing and you think " damn that was fast, movies over." He some how uses his power to leave his body, escape from jail, and continue his killing spree as a ghost. Spike hooks up with Robin and they are off to figure out how to stop this creepy fuck.
The acting isn't that bad but the special FX are pretty cheesy, I guess for 1992 what can you ask for right. So this is a pretty shitty horror movie I wish there was more blood and guts, it had a really good start but it's not the worst I ever seen. Oh yeah and Brigitte Nielson makes appearance.
