One of the things I love about films is black & white. When a movie is filmed in black and white, there is just something about it that makes it have a whole different feel about it. Especially if it’s a horror film or suspense/thriller. The film KITCHEN SINK, is filmed this way and it works. It is about a woman who is cleaning her house. Floor, counter, dishes, and of course, the kitchen sink. As she is cleaning it, she discovers a hair. A black, stringy, nasty clump of hair. She doesn’t understand how or why it’s there, but it just is. She begins to pull on it and it keeps coming out more and more.

When it comes to horror films, I have a 3 Step Rule. It’s simple: SCARE ME! There’s Step 1: the quick “jump” scare which means they just made a loud sound to cheaply scare you, Step 2: the “jump back in your seat scare” which means they flash something out of nowhere & get you that way, or Step 3: A scene or scare SO scary you actually say “something” out loud. Well, PA3 did ALL of these. However, I wasn’t 100% satisfied and let me tell you why.

This is a short film about a young woman who awakens in a prison cell. There is nothing around her but four solid walls, a mirror, a bed, and markings on the wall of how many days she or someone before her have been there. She has on a hospital gown with blood on it. By smashing the mirror, she can use the piece of mirror to see on her neck/back area what & where that blood is coming from. She knows she has to escape. She knows she can’t take it any longer.

The 80′s hadplenty of teenage films, almost all were sex comedies and it didn’t take a brain surgeon to figure them out. With the exception of The Breakfast Club, there were very few “serious” or “serious subject” teen films. However, there was one that slipped under the radar. A dark themed film about murder, secrets, lower class America, and how dedicated friends can or can’t be. This film; River’s Edge, had all of that, but also included some powerful performances not just by it’s young cast, but by the legendary great actor; Dennis Hopper.

The ‘Living Dead’ films started in 1968 with Night of the Living Dead, it’s 1970′s sequel; Dawn of the Dead was not a bad sequel & a very cool storyline (hell, I’d go to a mall too if all hell broke loose with zombie’s taking over). The third film; Day of the Dead, was not as successful box office wise & critic wise. Romero has said this is his favorite out of the series & the critics slammed it.

This is an interesting tale about a young little boy riding his bicycle on a rainy/wet dirt road with woods all around him. We’re not quite sure where he’s going, but he’s in a hurry. We find his final destination at the mailbox to get his mail. And it’s back to the house he goes. However, there is someone … watching and following him.

Everyone who knows me, knows that I am one of the biggest 80′s fans out there. It was my time, my Generation, & oh, what fun we had! In the year 1981, it was an interesting time for films. JAWS and STAR WARS ruled the 70′s, and with EMPIRE STRIKES BACK taking over as the biggest film of 1980, the 80′s were off to a good start and it would only get better! In 1981, in the world of Horror films, there was basically one thing that ruled the box office: slasher films!
