Aww thanks, Repo! If you're serious about getting rid of tapes there's always the Monster con meet up ;) I could really use some new vhs horror to watch. My laptop's down so I've been just plowing through the few I have. I need a trip to Goodwill

The last 80s movie I watched was Children of the Corn. A disturbing premise, for sure, but it's definitely one of those movies that doesn't have the same impact after you put it down for so long. Especially when you recognize the face of Sarah Connor in all her Terminator 2 badassery, it's a bit surreal to see her in the role of damsel in distress again. Plus, realizing that the actor who played Isaac was actually in his mid-20s at the time takes away a bit of the horror. Still a classic, though. Love it.

Cannibal Holocaust (1980)
Self-proclaimed as "the most controversial film ever made" and often credited to creating the found footage genre, Cannibal Holocaust has a huge reputation to uphold, but brutal, sometimes unnecessary violence mixed with a relevant social commentary leave mixed results. Cannibal Holocaust follows an anthropologist traveling to the Amazon to find a missing documentary crew that were sent to film the cannibalistic tribes who lived in the jungles. After finding the lost footage, a news channel intends to broadcast the footage, and we are shown the grisly demise of the team. It's often referred to as one of the most disturbing movies of all time, and it certainly makes you feel a little dirty watching it. The torture and rape displayed by the indigenous tribe is just as shocking as the behavior the documentary team shows towards the tribe, so there's really nothing pleasant to watch in this film. One of the more famous lines in the movie asks who the savages really are: the cannibalistic tribe or the documentary crew. It presents some thought-provoking stuff, but it's so hard to ponder those themes when your senses are being assaulted by the graphic nature of this film. The social commentary in Cannibal Holocaust and the reputation itself makes this a must-watch for fans of extreme cinema; just don't try to watch this for entertainment.
