The 10 Best, Bloodiest, and Battiest Horror Sequels

Posted on by

Rob Hunter and Film School Rejects present the 10 Best, Bloodiest, and Battiest Horror Sequels.  Using just Hunter’s list, here are three of my favorites with my comments…

  • The Exorcist III (1990): While none of The Exorcist sequels lived up to the quality or scare quotient of the original, The Exorcist III holds its own with the tale of a police detective’s investigation of a serial killer leads him to a hospital psych ward.  According to the IMDB, The Exorcist III  features “one of horror cinema’s scariest scenes” involving a murderer, a nurse and some giant pruning sheers.  I wholeheartedly agree.
  • Dawn of the Dead (1978): While the social commentary undertone is a bit heavy-handed and the motorcycle gang’s pie throwing at the zombies is a bit much, DotD is still a very decent follow-up to the classic Night of the Living Dead.
  • Blade 2 (2002) Ah, finally a sequel that surpasses the original.  While I’m not a fan of the original Blade, I absolutely love everything about Blade 2.
