RENT - Fantastic Jaws-type survival movie involving many sharks, many shocks, and a very suspensful atmosphere
4 Spookies		 Deep Blue Sea

Review Pending...		 Luther The Geek
1990
Taint reviewed it yet.
Review Pending...		 The Mist

2 Spookies		 Nothing But Trouble
1991		 Taint reviewed it yet.
Review Pending...		 Swamp Woman
1941		 RENT - The Stan Winston freaks occasionally works, but the film lacks tension despite some imaginative segments - otherwise formulaic but fun
3 Spookies		 Wrong Turn
2003
RENT - Some silly effects, some great effects, better tension than the original, and the director and Henry Rollins seem to be having fun with it, but cardboard characters abound
3 Spookies		 Wrong Turn 2 - Dead End
2007
