Undead (2003)
classic splatter comedy
Undead was made for fans of the splatter comedy genre, and boy does it succeed. This movie is on a level playing field as Peter Jackson's Braindead. You have everything from zombie fish to geysers of blood produced from numerous decapitations. Undead even manages to hold a semi-interesting plot with a sci-fi element that had my friend and I discussing afterward. A definite must-see for fans of the genre.
Cabin Fever (2002)
old school horror revived
the horror scene in the U.S. has been disappointing for the last couple decades, but Eli Roth is trying to change that. Cabin Fever brings us back to how horror movies used to be and it plays as a sort of homage to old school horror. You have the blood, the sex, the naked hot chick, the dumb jock, the cool guy, the awkward dorky guy, his love interest who doesn't notice his obvious interest, and the always popular rednecks with shotguns out to get you in the woods. With all these classic elements present, the movie still manages to put a new spin on things by introducing a flesh-eating virus into the story as well. This is a good movie and hopefully a start to having horror movies made the way they should be.
Koroshiya 1 (2001)
brilliant, brilliant, brilliant
What a brilliant film. The directing is stylish and original. The acting is great and provides us with characters that will be forever remembered (halfway through the movie it felt like this was the 4th or 5th sequel and I knew these characters for a long time). The story is so fascinating, taking us into the minds of a sado-masochist and a brainwashed killing machine that seeks revenge. The final showdown between these two characters is unforgettable in my books, and will be talked about for a long time (to try to understand it). Anyone who loves a great movie experience (at least unforgettable), go see Ichi the Killer.
