Welcome to Thursday Movie Picks, a weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves where each Thursday you have to pick three films to match the week's topic.
And here we go with another Halloween themed week, a pretty easy one because it blends science fiction and horror, probably my favorite kind of horror. After horror comedies. Or horror horrors. Anyway, without further ado, here's my three picks.
The Purge: Anarchy (2014)
Set in a dystopian future where, once a year, every crime is legal aka you can kill your boss, or rob a bank and nobody can do nothing, this second film of the series follows a group of character whose stories eventually intertwine as they try to survive the purge. My favourite of the series, it has plot twists, delivers good thrills and Frank Grillo is a real badass.
Videodrome (1983)
A cable TV operator discovers a snuff broadcast, and fascinated by the sick and twisted program, he starts investigating to discover where the show comes from and who is behind it. Things will get nasty. This disturbing, twisted Cronenberg film is arguably one of the most revolutionary sci-fi films ever, probably because there's a lot of horrifying stuff going on.
Jason X (2003)
Set in space in the year 2455, a group of students accidentally bring back to life Jason Voorhees and the guy continues his killing spree on the spaceship. This is my least favourite of the three. Actually I hate it, it is an embarrassment both for the horror and sci-fi genre and it's so silly it should on the dictionary under "stupid". But I guess it's so bad it's good.
