Scream (1996)

This self-aware slasher flick helped rejuvenate and reinvent the slasher genre and still holds up today as must-see horror. #jackmeatsflix

They were shooting for an uncomfortable, stripped-down psychological horror, but nauseating camera work and hollow characters drag this one down. #jackmeatsflix

Even being a big fan of climbing flix, the lack of action and scares ending in a laughable finale makes this a tough sell. #jackmeatsflix

Never Blink is a slick-looking, completely illogical flick with a cool concept that is paced slow, needs editing, and a new cast. #jackmeatsflix

The Philippou brothers have crafted a horror movie you ought to watch blind. It’s disturbing, gripping, and at times shockingly grotesque with a purpose. #jackmeatsflix

The Ritual is exactly what you’d expect a “true exorcism story” to look like, for better AND for worse. #jackmeatsflix

To put this poor student horror film in a way the makers will understand, I give this one a "D" #jackmeatsflix

If you’re brave enough to face predictable scares, flat exposition, and a bear that’s somehow both cute and aggressively underwhelming, hit play #jackmeatsflix

My watchlist is littered with foreign flix such as this moody meditation on motherhood and identity, dressed up with occasional skeletal cracking. #jackmeatsflix

Possibly Cronenberg’s final film is a fittingly morbid yet thoughtful meditation on death, technology, and the strange ways we attempt to keep loss at bay. #jackmeatsflix
