87. Cemetery Man/Dellamorte Dellamore (1994)Also known as "Zombie Graveyard". Francesco Dellamorte (Rupert Everett) and Gnaghi (Francois Hadji-Lazaro) are caretakers at a cemetery in a small town in France. Their work is quite difficult though. Even if the dead are dead, a week after their burial they come back. Francesco and Gnaghi have to deal with them regularly and shoot them in their heads so that they stay dead. One day, Francesco falls in love with a widow (Anna Falchi) of an old rich man. A week after his burial, the old man rises from the grave and bites his widow - she dies. Francesco has to kill her again after one week. But strangely, after another week, she comes back again.
Beautifully strange, funny and weird. But not scary. In fact, rather gory and a lil bit disgusting. Still funny as hell. Especially the scenes where the mentally handicapped Gnaghi speaks with his late love interest or puts her head in a broken TV screen. Fantastic, classic italian horror comedy. Just how it should be.

88. Scream (1996)
Finally some Wes Craven shit on here."Scream" was one of first Craven-Horrormovies after a long time of abstinence of the genre. It tells a
story of a small town called Woodsboro. Almos one year after the death of Sidney Prescotts (Neve Campbell) mother a murderer in a "Ghostface"-mask strikes and kills several teenagers without a reason. The first victims are Casey (Drew Barrymore) and her boyfriend. The whole situation seems out of place. It's like someone has watched way too much horror flicks and is trying to transfer typical horror situations into the real life. For fun.
Pure revival of the slasher genre, which even manages to parody quite a few films. Still not a comedy, but a brutal psychotic mess. No deep message. Just a brutal B-movie that made some good money. Including characters that are stupid as hell. The fact that the movie doesn't take itself seriously makes it so damn good. A true halloween classic.

89. Ringu (1998)
It doesn't matter what everyone has told you. "Ringu" is NOT the first adaptation of the book by Koji Suzuki. The first one was a simple TV movie. "Ringu" tells a story about an urban legend. There seems to be a videocassette with a strange, minute long movie. A woman who combs her hair can be seen. Also there is a well. After watching the cassette usually the telephone rings and a strange voice tells you that you have only one week to live. After one week you die. The main character is Reiko Asakawa (Nanako Matsushima), a reporter and aunt of one of the first victims. She starts to research the origins behind the mysterious video tape and discovers a disturbing story about a young girl.
I had to pause the movie in the middle of the night, because video tape scenes seemed way to disturbing for me. In comparison with hollywood movies, it's something completely different though. There are no jumpscares, mostly it's slow, disturbing horror. After all it wasn't all that scary. Strange. I thought it would give me nightmares. It's like a good scary urban legend (some might call it creepypasta) made into a movie. Very very very good.
