Wolfman (1982)

SYNOPSIS: A family curse, a young Colin Glasgow, a race for time, an unholy man. The usual.
HIGHS: Classic hair sweater. Colin is hot! Not just a hair sweater, it's a full-on fur coat! Wolfman jogs! Beer bottle to the face - two times!
LOWS: Colin Glasgow? Sounds suspiciously like Elvis. Wolfman feet > like shoes with hair on them. Probably the worst acting in movie history.
MEMORABLE LINES: Colin: Will you come with me? Lady: Yes, Just let me tell father... and get my cape.

Paranormal Activity (2007)

SYNOPSIS: A suburban couple move into their new home and never have a sound sleep again! They are increasingly disturbed by a mysterious dark presence.
HIGHS: Sleep standing. Flaming ouija board.
LOWS: Man vs Demon.
MEMORABLE LINES: I could barely hear the dialogue.
NOTE: Not sure on the discrepancy of grading here. It completely creeped me out - but maybe because I really got into it. I was scared to go to sleep when I got home alone. I think there were too many lulls for the low scorers. Judge for yourself!
