I just got back from Peter’s. We watched The Exorcist (incredibly, I had managed to go for all of 25 years without seeing it). Before I get into my rant about it let me just say that I’m not one of those Ohhh.. horror movies make me laugh-kind of guys. In fact, I find that a bit silly. What’s the point of watching horror movies if you don’t get scared??? Seems to me like those guys who brag about being able to drink two gallons of beer straight without getting drunk. It’s not sex, you idiots! there’s no prize for endurance!! and you’ll just end up spending more at the bar.

Ok. Rant aside: don’t get me wrong, of course Friday the 13th part 13 and a half or whatever will have you laughing your ass off all through the murder chain. Not this one, though. This one scares. I damn near shit my pants when freak-o-girl went down the stairs backwards. Thankfully, the dvd was all scratched to hell and it kept breaking down the image and ruining the mood or I would have had a stroke. This one gets a 10 in my Make-it-go-please-O-Meter. First of my Highly recommended movies, which is my made up category for movies that I like and you’d be a fool to miss. Out now.
