Though I am always watching horror movies I haven't yet seen, I often re-watch films I have enjoyed in the past also. Here are a couple reviews of movies I have seen before and watched again recently.
The Loved Ones 2009
8/10. Clever writing. Brilliant casting! The "princess" character is one of my favourite horror movie villains; surprised that a teenage girl could be so maniacal. The film has a couple of very good cringe-worthy gore scenes and a fantastic ending that wraps up this twisted story nicely. I will watch this many times again.
Rubber 2010
7.5/10. Who wouldn't love a movie about a psychokinetic tire on a homicidal rampage? This one is not for everyone. It kinda does the movie-within-a-movie thing and is sometimes difficult to follow. It's also very slow-moving at times, and doesn't contain the best, or even a lot of dialogue. I purely enjoy the concept of this tire killing people.. I think it's bizarre and hilarious and I really like it.
Maniac 2012
8/10. One of my recent favourites. Elijah Wood does a stellar job of playing a serial killer, scalping women in the night and patching up mannequins in the day in this POV-style slasher. Super gory, intense movie with a lot of edge. I especially enjoyed one scene in particular, that pays homage to the original 1980 version. I felt the ending could have been stronger, but still very much enjoyed this experience overall.
