There has been a trend for horror movies with a message over the last few years and some of them have left me cold. The message part often means that the horror aspect is down played so as not to offend a broader audience. Luckily, this is not the case with Sissy.
This film addresses issues like mental health and social media influencers but still has a cracking horror movie at its heart. It borders on horror-comedy at times - but, if you're a gore hound - there's PLENTY for you here. I wasn't expecting a lot from this movie but it was nicely set up, the acting was good, the blood was splurting and, overall, it was an enjoyable 82 minutes.

I've been looking for a good horror comedy for a while and this definitely scratched that itch. If you like the idea of "Evil Dead" meets "The Blair Witch project" then this is one for you.
It owes A LOT to "The Evil Dead" (the original series rather than the remake) - so if you liked that, you'll like this too. It's funny, but there are some properly scary and gory bits too.
It's very contained - so only a few characters in it, and it feels quite low budget as a result. The practical effects are, however, good and while there's plenty of atmosphere (or should that be atmos-fear) building, there are some decent jump scares too!
Highly recommended!

Although it has nothing to do with Michael Meyers and, therefore, comes across as an odd entry in the Halloween movie series, this is one of the great Hallowe'en movies and a great horror movie full stop.
Although it's directed by Tommy Lee Wallace, he's clearly channeling his inner John Carpenter. The premise is fantastic, the execution is perfect and the ending will stay with you for the rest of your life. In places it's a little cheesy - but this was 1982 people?!?!? It doesn't lessen the horror one bit.
Negative reviewers need to wake up and re-evaluate their motivations for down marking this. It's a genuine Hallowe'en classic.
