OHMC Day 22: The Last Horror Film. An ambitious piece of guerrilla filmmaking, but light on plot, messy, and badly paced. Still an interesting curiosity, however.

OHMC Day 21: Vampyr. A talkie that thinks it's a silent film, a script filled with moon logic, and some remarkably artificial performances, but the elements come together deliriously.

OHMC Day 20: The Appointment. A subtle but nightmarish tale of portents and inevitability. While I adored it, I wonder how it will go down with those who didn't grow up with British media of the 1970s.

OHMC Day 19: Blind Beast. A classic of extreme horror. Not a gory film, but a hard one to watch because of its attitude towards sexual violence

OHMC Day 18: Undertone. A very average tale of demonic influence, propped up by some imaginative storytelling. Not a film that will stick with me.

OHMC Day 17: Carved: The Slit-Mouthed Woman. Some great ideas, and the ghost is pretty creepy, but I found the film itself flat and lifeless. A frustrating waste of potential.

OHMC Day 16: Jack Be Nimble. A gothic fairy tale that defies classification. After more than 50 years of watching horror films, I love it when something surprises me. Simply wonderful.

OHMC Day 15: Hokum. Creepy fun, but I would have liked it better if it had been more misanthropic. As fond as I am of horror as metaphor, Hokum felt like it was pulling in two different directions.

OHMC Day 14: Vampire Clay. Tedious to begin with, but once it takes off, we get plenty of fun, gruesome body horror. Shades of The Thing and Tomie, but, you know, with clay.

OHMC Day 13: Send Help. Twisty, brutal, and darkly humorous, with some wonderfully shocking moments. It's a delight to see Raimi making horror again.

OHMC Day 12: Stéphane. Comparisons to Man Bites Dog and Creep hooked me. An odd little film, more uncomfortable and blackly humorous than frightening, but clever and imaginative.

OHMC Day 11: Evil Cat. A kung-fu-action-comedy-horror about a cat spirit -- an evil one. If that makes it sound daft, that's only because it is. It's also a lot of fun.

OHMC Day 10: Saccharine. A creepy, vicious, but oddly sensitive ghost story about disordered eating and weight loss. A strong contender for my film of the month.

OHMC Day 9: The Driller Killer. A confused mess that does little to shock, scare or sicken. But a nice, sleazy snapshot of Bohemian seventies NYC.

OHMC Day 8: New Religion. A tense and moody psychological horror, offering more questions than answers. I suspect most people will hate it, but I found it unsettling.

OHMC Day 7: Daniel Isn't Real. A creepy, imaginative tale about the worst kind of imaginary friend.

OHMC Day 6: Save the Green Planet! Bloody, energetic, and absolutely batshit. The steam-powered dildo is a particular highlight.

OHMC Day 5: Lake Michigan Monster. What if ADHD was a film? An exhausting watch, but a fun one.

OHMC Day 4: The Visitor. Basically The Omen, but for Scientologists. Surprisingly entertaining.

OHMC Day 3: Why Don't You Just Die! (2018). This is the kind of gory, ultra-violent black comedy that brings me joy. But is it really horror?

OHMC Day 2: Milk & Serial. The found-footage horror Curry Barker made before Obsession reveals that YouTube pranksters can be terrible people. Who would have guessed?

OHMC Day 1: Messiah of Evil (1974) - A weird, trippy nightmare, like David Lynch adapted "The Shadow Over Innsmouth"
