The Hunchback of Notre Dame
1428 Elm
Alan French
Despite being 95 years old, it remains a classic. It also marks a true beginning of Universal Monster Films that would come to define horror for decades.

Phantom Of The Opera
1428 Elm
Alan French
However, again the standout piece of the film remains to be Chaney. He appears maniacal from the word go, even as we're introduced to him as a silhouette.

The cinematography remains gorgeous to this day, and the sets are pretty. It is a picture of opulence. On that front, the film remains a success

Slice will not be the best horror film of the year, but audiences are likely to embrace it...the actors and actresses involved really elevate the material here.

Don't Hang Up
1428 Elm
Kellie Haulotte
Don't Hang Up is a total B-movie and the characters are barely likable. What I will say is that its pacing and suspense was there for me.
