Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments:#93-Pacific Heights (1990)

By Eric Polk-

It's hawt tension between Working Girl, Joker from Full Metal Jacket, and Batman in this 1990 movie directed by John Schlesinger. An unmarried couple, Patty Palmer (Melanie Griffith) and Drake Goodman (Matthew Modine) buys a house in the exclusive San Francisco neighborhood of Pacific Heights, where they renovate it and plan to rent the two apartments on the first floor to cover most of the monthly mortgage.

Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments: #95 - Jurassic Park (1993)

Reaplings, I promise to be brief today. I don't like this movie. It's one of the 'big budget with a plot that goes nowhere' genre films that can either be cheddary good or limburger bad. I side with the latter cheese.I'm sure the Michael Crichton novel the film(directed by Steven Spielberg) is based on is a million times better than the CGI-codswallop I had the misfortune to watch when it premiered in the theaters in the summer of '93.

Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments: #96 - The Birds (1963)

By Eric Polk-
Author's Note-Reading the comments of my last review for Cat People, it was correctly pointed out to me that the movie on the list is the original 1942 version. I deeply apologize for the inaccuracy and will watch and review the original version in the near future.

The great thing about this is, I can watch and appreciate the horror movies that came out pre-Halloween. I've always believed that it is important to respect the contributions of people that influenced my favorite writers and directors because without them, horror movies probably would have taken a bland direction.

Which leads to the first of the movies on the list directed by the legendary Alfred Hitchcock. With Psycho, he laid the foundation for the slasher genre. With 1963's The Birds,he set the stage for nature going berserk.

Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments: #97 - Cat People (1982)

By Eric Polk-

The first of the 'when animals go bersek/when humans become animals' genre is a remake(NOOOO!!!) of the 1942 original. Unlike the original, the T and A, along with the fur, fly in this film directed by Paul Schrader and starring at the height of her career Nastassja Kinski and legendary actor Malcolm McDowell.

Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments: #98 - Zombie (1979)

By Eric Polk-
We're Going to Eat You! A tagline doesn't get any more direct than that. Across the world, this 1979 Lucio Fulci-directed film is titled Zombi 2(an unofficial sequel to Romero's Dawn of the Dead), Zombie Flesh Eaters,Island of the Living Dead, but here in the states it's simply called Zombie. It is simply my favorite zombie movie of all time.

Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments: #99 - Creepshow (1982)

Author's Note:To clear up any and all confusion, even though Bravo did a list on scariest movie moments, I felt as a fan of the series and of the genre, it beholds me to review the entire movie as opposed to a couple of isolated scenes. Thank you Reaplings for your support!

Take one half George Romero(director), take one half Stephen King(scriptwriter). What you get is a classic horror film in Creepshow.

Released in 1982, Creepshow is a five-part anthology story which also includes a wraparound tale in which a father throws away his son's (played by Stephen King's son, Joe) comic book. Once tossed, a Crypt-Keeper-like entity invites us into five haunting tales:

Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments: #100 - 28 Days Later (2002)

By Eric Polk of The Audio Descent podcast-
Our journey into the 100 Scariest begins with a movie that ignited a debate among lovers of the zombie sub-genre. 28 Days Later is a nihilistic, dark, sparse kind of a horror film that reels you in with its depression. There is no humor ala original Dawn of the Dead or social commentary. Nope, this is about a matter of survival in jolly ol', Infected-plague England.
