Arrow's Top 10: 2007
Jan. 2, 2008
GIVE US YOUR GENRE TOP 10 OF 2007 HERE
Another year and more celluloid horror/sci-fi/action slapped our way! The quantity in terms of big screen releases was again (much like in 2006) vast this year and the amount of genre bon-bons we got straight to DVD was ridiculous! Now I did get a couple of hard to digest bummers on my end as a horror fan this year.
Films I was REALLY looking forward to, that had the potential to kick some serious ass on varied levels wound up not meeting my expectations. Prime examples of that: HOSTEL II, THE MESSENGERS, SAW 4, RE3, I AM LEGEND, SKINWALKERS, AVP REQUIEM (man did that one hurt) and MOTHER OF TEARS (this one hurt more) were all top priorities, I couldn’t wait to sink my claws into them, but they fell in the slightly above average mark at best
Thankfully I found all kinds of random genre gems to hold on to throughout the year (lots of 3 on 4 ratings) and they helped wash down the lets downs and the pure trash that was force fed to me. And obviously as per my TOP 10 OF 2007, a handful of CLASS-A flicks wound up rocking my cock clean out of its ZipLock bag and beating me senseless with it... in a good way (don't ask what that means, am not sure yet)!
Now 2008 promises more original American horror which I’m all for! CLOVERFIELD, MANDY LANE (That one made my Top 10 of 2006), CASE 39… I hope them suckers do well so we can keep getting more of them! Sadly for me, more remakes are on the horizon as well (they still want to do FRIDAY THE 13TH...bugh). I know many of you love them remakes, personally though, I find little enjoyment in tackling films that I’ve already seen.
I mean do I really need to see ONE MISSED CALL or THE EYE? I ALREADY HAVE DAMMIT! But hey that’s how the whore crumbles… what can you do? But enough of my whiny bitch-whining, lets focus on the positive! Here are the 10 genre films of 2007 that thought me lessons that I will not soon forget.
