Casey's Movie Quest - Part 3

You can read the first part of my movie quest, and background on how this stuff works, here. Click on the movie quest tag to see the rest.

Now we're up to 11-15.

11. Warlock - This one was one of my favorites as a kid renting videos from the local Blockbuster. Sadly, it doesn't hold up as much as I thought it would. I don't mind something being unrelentingly dated - I usually enjoy that; I just can't figure out what my problem with it is, just that the enjoyment was gone during this viewing.

12. DC Cab OH GOD FUCK THIS MOVIE. It has Mr. T in it but this was a chore to get through.

13. Dead Heat I hadn't ever seen this before, and it's actually a pretty funny, good movie that nobody will watch because it stars Joe Piscopo. Look past that. Watch this. Trust me. It has zombies.

14. Slither James Gunn can't do any wrong in my eyes, and this one is no different. This movie is downright fun to watch, and is like a new version of the 80s body horror movies like Reanimator and From Beyond mixed with a Tremors sort of vibe. Check it out.

15. Candyman: The David Klein story Serial killer doc recommended because I liked Cropsy. Cropsy is awesome- this is just kind of hard to get through, though it is a look into a mind of a really deranged dude who wrote everything down - so you're hearing about how crazy this guy is from his own words.

I'd say this set is 2 for 5, with the two being Dead Heat and Slither.

Next time, we're going to see a really weird group of movies to put together - and more James Gunn!
