Black Christmas
This is a very well done older slasher film. The budget seems low because pretty much all of the gore happens off screen (Think Halloween) but the acting is just fine. This movie was 4 years ahead of Halloween and seems like it played a fairly big influence in John Carpenter's style. A nice little twist at the ending of this to make considerably less cheery than the Hollywood norm makes it a worthy rent.
B+
Psycho II
I really enjoy this film and over the years it has grown to become one of my favorite sequels. It was filmed like 17 years after the first one and the story takes 17 years after the events of the first one as well. The story is cool and twisted, Anthony Perkins is back reprising the role of Norman Bates and the ending is superb! If you enjoyed the original Psycho, then I think you should give this sequel a shot. You won't be disappointed.
B+
