The Munsters (2022)
Does it work?
This is in my opinion a departure from Rob Zombies movie career and a throwback to his music videos, animated sequences, and stage shows. Cuts, vibrant contrasting colors...a comic book splash page brought to life. I think we saw some of this in The Lords of Salem, but a little more art house serious. Does it work? Maybe. It's not an easy watch, but it is great Halloween atmosphere, maybe on in the background at a party. No offense to Mr. Zombie but in my opinion he peaked at The Devils Rejects. But I did not see that filthy dirthouse magic in 31 or 3 From Hell. I'll give it a 6 because it's neat and looks amazing.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
Can not be compared with other slashers
The original. It's a 10 because nothing from the slasher or exploitation era compares to it. It is intense, raw, and it is terrifying. Few movies will make you feel like this. You are a stranger looking in at something that you are not meant to see. You feel slick and sticky from the fear and the heat, caked with filth and grime. Once it's over you are glad it's over, yet you will return to watch it again. The remakes and sequels do not even come close. How could they? This was the first.
