Hanna, From Beyond, True Legend, 39 Steps

Hanna-poster

Hanna is still one of my favorite films of the year but it doesn't hold up as well the second time. Still a very solid film. 4/5

From_beyond

Stuart Gordon loves H.P. Lovecraft and what's probably his best adaptation is From Beyond. Great 80's cheesy, gory horror. 3.75/5

 

True-legend-poster-china

True Legend is what I hate about martial arts films. Half asses martial arts sequences that run on forever and the last 30 minutes is a total waste. 2.25/5

 

39steps

One of Hitchcock's early films, The 39 Steps is a pretty good, suspenseful film. It's not great but it's easy to see why it's a classic. 3.75/5

An American Werewolf in London, Exorcist III, Topaz

  

An-american-werewolf-in-london

I forgot how good An American Werewolf in London is. It's funny, vicious and smart. Plus the movie ends where most films would just be getting started. 4/5

 

Exorcist_iii

I'm not a fan of the Exorcist series at all but Exorcist III is really good. There are some great jump scares that actually scare the hell out of you. 3.75/5

 

Topaz_movieposter

There is a reason that Topaz isn't considered one of Hitchcock's better films. It's long, slow and plodding. It still has some great Hitchcockian moments but if you haven't seen it, I wouldn't go out of my way to see it. 3/5
