A History of Horror: 1-Star

"The Bride of Frankenstein"
With how well this movie is reviewed, this was by far the biggest disappointment. It was campy (yes, even for 1935 standards) and pales in comparison to its predecessor. Boris talking was deflating to the Monster, the introduction was silly, and the realization of the Monster's Bride was anticlimactic even when compared to the poor build up.

"Wes Craven's New Nightmare"
This movie tried to be "Scream" before "Scream" but failed horribly. They tried to play off the whole this is/was a movie with cliches and the like, but it just turns out to be 90s horror camp at its worst.

"The Ring"
I do not get why this movie was so popular when it came out. This did absolutely nothing for me. Not one jump, not one scare, not one tense moment.

"The Mist"
I should say that I liked the idea of what they were trying to do in making a horror movie that focused on the people involved and not the antagonizing element. But when they fail so immensely by making you nothing but frustrated, it makes for an unenjoyable experience. True it may have been intended to be frustrating, but paired with the most horrific and ridiculous ending, it made for a movie I did not like.
