Two Thousand Maniacs! / Saw V / Videodrome  
Two Thousand Maniacs!: I'm a bit spoiled from seeing the remake 2001 Maniacs. But for an older gore flick, this wasn't too bad. The idea is solid and the "festivities" are quite gruesome. By today's standards a mannequin arm with a little blood isn't that terrifying but it was a great predecessor for the gore films of today.

Saw V: A bit of a let down as it was entirely too predictable. But, these are guilty pleasures as I enjoy seeing the new and inventive ways to kill people.

Videodrome: Wow. Croenenberg is simply disturbed. His works are so incredibly creepy and it comes out of nowhere sometimes. James Woods and Deborah Harry are great. Can see some of this as influence to some Japanese films with weapons fusing with flesh. A definite must see.

Saw 'The Orphanage' last night, wow, absolutely awesome! And videodrome, so awesome. Definitely on my top 20 list of heady films of all time.
