Cronos (1997)

Guillermo Del Toro's Mexican zombie masterpiece. Nah, crap that, it's hardly a zombie movie, more like a deep premeditation on death and immortality that is both touching, harrowing and funny.

Somebody said Pan's Labyrinth was a retread on his earlier themes found in Cronos and Devil's Backbone and I just had to check it out. And yeah, it's great. Astute performance by Federico Luppi. I could do without Ron Perlman, who seems a bit under-used with none of his animalistic humour present. The effects are kinda crap as well, but this was shot on a shoestring budget.

Secret Window (2004)

I hated this. You can sort of see the twist coming up miles ahead. I won't spoil it for you but it's a plot device that most of you have seen before. Only thing likeable about this is Johnny Depp pulling facets from other characters he's played before, from Jack Sparrow to Edward Scissorhands, into the mix.

Stephen King wrote this and yeah, I hate his horror stories with a passion. Different Seasons was kinda cool, though, although I could have done without "Breathing Method" (Winter). Got some nice references to "Misery" in this movie, though.
