The Crow: Salvation (2000)
Why can't they leave well enough alone!
I have now seen all three installments of the Crow series (The Crow, The Crow: City of Angels, The Crow: Salvation) and I am amazed how this franchise has steadily and continually got worse. I thought the first one was well done, well written, well directed. The second was a disappointment, it appeared they were trying to merely reproduce the first one. However, with Salvation, I was amazed that anyone thought the screenplay was worth bringing to film. The characters were flat and the story line, while not terribly complex, was extremely predictable.
The Entity (1982)
Why don't they make scary movies like this anymore?
I remember seeing this movie for the first time when I was 12 years old and being scarred wittless. While wandering through the video store recently I decided to rewatch this movie, to see if the intervening years had dulled the edge on this movie. Not only was I surprised that I still liked this movie, I was more surprised at how effective the film is on so many different levels. "The Entity" works as a horror film - no question. But, it's one of the rare instances in horror where you actually feel the anguish the main character is going through and truly care about the outcome of the character, not just when is "it" going to strike again. For anyone that wants to see a great horror movie that is usually overlooked in the "best of" lists, this is definitely it.
