If you’re like me, the whole month of October is pretty much Halloween. I love the holiday and start celebrating it on October 1st by beginning to watch mass amounts of scary movies. So, in order to help you plan your Halloween viewing parties, here is a list of my top 5 Horror Blu Ray/DVD releases of 2009. I’ll even include Netflix links so you can easily add them to your list.
Laid to Rest is the terrifying story of a young girl (Bobbi Sue Luther) who wakes up in a casket with a traumatic head injury and no memory of her identity. She quickly realizes she was abducted by ChromeSkull (Nick Principe), a metal-masked serial killer with the money and means to emulate the 1980s Slashers. Isolated in an unfamiliar rural town, the Girl and those who have come to her aid must survive the night and outsmart the technologically inclined murderer who video records his vicious killings and is determined to finish his masterpiece tape featuring “the Girl.”
Review:
With over-saturation of remakes, re-imaginings, and reboots, it’s nice when a little slasher flick shows some originality. Laid to Restdoes owe a lot to slashers of the 80s, however, this low budget flick boasts some fantastic gore and a memorable baddie with Chrome Skull.
