1981 · USA · 96m

Hooper on a real budget with Rick Baker's monster. Nowhere near nasty enough to be on this list.

1976 · USA · 91m

Hooper's follow-up to Chain Saw, shot entirely on a sound stage lit in red. A hotel, a scythe and a crocodile.

1985 · UK/Australia · 116m

Tobe Hooper's space-vampire epic, adapted from Colin Wilson, and it is completely insane in the best way.

1982 · USA · 110m

A suburban family, a television, and a chair-stacking sequence that has never stopped being copied.

Goreledger 8/10

1974 · USA · 83m

Almost bloodless and completely unbearable. Heat, noise and exhaustion doing all the work.

Goreledger 10/10
