Screaming Sunday: Sick Girl

Sati's movie rating - 75/100
Plot: A shy entomologist drawn into a tentative lesbian affair following the discovery of a mysterious new species of bug finds herself faced with a startling metamorphosis in "May" director Lucky McKee's creep-crawly entry into Showtime's terrifying Masters of Horror series. Ida Teeter's (Scream Queen - Angela Bettis) life revolves around bugs, and upon discovering a large unidentified crawler while simultaneously being drawn into a heated affair with a beautiful young woman named Misty (Erin Brown), the studious wallflower's personal and professional lives begin heating up like never before. It seems that the bizarre new insect has some fairly strange feeding habits, and when seduction leads to infection and bloodletting, the stage is set for a horrifying mutation that will find Ida identifying more closely with her insect subjects than ever before
The heroes: Shy and cute entomologist who loves her job and is crazy about bugs, finding her hobby to be a big turn off for possible romantic partners.
The antagonists: Mysterious, dangerous spider.
What makes it so great? The unique blend of "The Fly" inspired horror movie and cute romantic comedy.
Best scene: The ending.
Oh-oh something's not right line: "It's aggressive"

Screaming Sunday: H.P. Lovecraft's Dreams in the Witch-House

(For next few weeks I'll be recommending best parts of "Masters of Horror" series here. They are a bit stronger than stuff recommended so far - both in terms of gore (with the exception of "The Descent" which was in the first issue of Screaming Sunday) and frights (aside for "Shutter" which remains one of the scariest horror films). Each episode is directed by one of horror legends and lasts around 55 minutes.)

(I was going to open with "Jenifer" but I'll have mercy on you all)

Sati's movie rating - 70/100
Plot: A graduate student questions his sanity after he rents a room in an old boarding house which was the residence of a 17th Century witch, and he figures out that the evil forces still roam within the walls.(directed by Stuart Gordon, who made "Re-Animator" - the adaptation of another of Lovecraft's works)
The heroes: Young and brave student, who for some reason finds himself being the target for the witch and needs to protect not only himself but also the baby that lives next door with his young mother.
The antagonists: Evil witch and her familiar rat with human (that's right) face, set on killing little baby.
What makes it so great? Surreal vibe and the fact the author of the story didn't hold any punches.
Best scene: The sex gone sick and witchy.
Oh-oh something's not right line: "She's comin'... She's coming for you."
