[MONTH OF HORROR] Hospital/Prince of Darkness/When Evil Lurks

I didn’t get a review up for yesterday, but not because I didn’t watch a movie. I finished Hospital and found I didn’t want to talk about it. In a nutshell, it’s about an Exorcist that takes two women through a haunted hospital, where the usual fun and games happen. Good chills, I had thought, but didn’t like the ending. Couldn’t understand why I couldn’t seal the deal and write a review.

This morning I woke and decided the problem was that I was being too kind to it. That worked out, the review came easy.

Same night, I tried to get a wee bit ahead by watching Prince of Darkness, John Carpenter’s glorious flick about liquid Satan sealed in a jar. Still one of the best Lovecraft flicks that has nothing to do with Lovecraft. This one I struggle with because of my affection for it. But I got it done.

When Evil Lurks was my flick for today–the day it came out. Two brothers struggle to deal with Demonic incursion and fail about as badly as one can fail. It’s a great flick, but too dark for me. In fact, I don’t think I can review it for the Sister Site.

Good thing I watched the Carpenter flick…

Anyway, Day 27 and 27 reviews. I got a back log almost all the way through next April. Feels good.
