Top Ten Horror Movies of the '70s Reviews

I'm just going to scratch the surface and cover some of the more obvious highlights of the best of 1970 horror films in two essays. — 10. — Last House on the Left  1972 Directed by Wes Craven     Sandra Cassell, Lucy Grantham, David A. Hess. "Keep repeating, 'It's only a movie, it's only a movie'" was the famous tagline created for Craven's debut film,  but used several times for other movies well into the 80s.  Last House is a very crude film that is guaranteed to offend you on a variety of levels as it breaks many taboos of its… read full review »

1. THE DEVILS (1971) Director Ken Russell's greatest achievement, based on Aldous Huxley's The Devils of Loudon, stars Oliver Reed as Father Urbain Grandier, a licentious priest in 17th century France accused of sorcery by a hysterical, hunchbacked Mother Superior played by Vanessa Redgrave. On orders from Cardinal Richilieu, a creepy inquisitior (Michael Gothard) puts Grandier on trial, and ultimately has him burned at the stake.

personally, i think the chuckie doll movies were for most the scariest. Just the thought of a little boys doll coming to life absolutely horrifies me. I could never amagine this really happen! Forget Seed of Chucky, Bride of Chucky, and the other two sequels that came after this surprisingly good horror romp. Tom Holland (Fright Night) directed this horror romp, in which the soul of a deranged killer inhabits a child's doll. Child's Play manages to boast a few genuine scares and add some creepy atmosphere to boot, with Brad Dourif doing great work as the voice of killer "good guy" doll… read full review »
