Add in Brad Dourif as an eccentric exterminator and a sometimes goofy sense of humor (shout out to the fantastic "Surfin' Safari" needle drop), and Graveyard Shift hits enough of the right notes to entertain horror fans. It's got all the hallmarks of an entertaining creature feature as themes comment on the exploitation of blue-collar workers, blending small-town context with mutant animal attacks. It's goopy and features stellar 90s practical effects, as workers in a rat-infested textile mill find themselves fighting for their lives while cleaning the building's dangerously not-up-to-code basement. Graveyard Shift is the best Stephen King film adaptation that showcases a gigantic bat-rat creature. Stars: David Andrews, Kelly Wolf, Stephen Macht, Andrew Divoff.Blade cuts right to the stylish violence like a katana through butter, and in my opinion, only gets better with Blade II - which is also on Max if you’re in the mood for a double feature. There’s a slick industrial goth vibe, and Snipes is an everloving badass as the famed bloodsucker-hunter. With blood raves and ferocious vampire attacks, Stephen Norrington’s Blade is a more horror-focused film than we can assume will be the MCU’s version. I know we’re getting a new MCU-approved version of Blade in Mahershala Ali, but let’s not forget Wesley Snipes was doing the character justice back in 1998. Stars: Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff, Kris Kristofferson, N'Bushe Wright.From Brooks' horror contributions spoofing Hitchcock to producing David Cronenberg’s The Fly remake, his crowning accomplishment for the genre is still Young Frankenstein. “There, wolf!” No matter how often I hear that line, I’ll still burst out laughing. His love of the horror genre is evident through Marty Feldman’s hilarious take on Igor to the skewering of genre tropes, making an endlessly quotable treat for horror fans. Mel Brooks’ classic monster spoof Young Frankenstein is one of his funniest films thanks to Peter Boyle’s creature performance and Gene Wilder’s impeccable comedic delivery. Stars: Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn.That’s because this film is always focused on character chemistry between an unlikely couple, which Levine turns into a fresh love letter to a subgenre that can stink of unoriginality. The blend between horror and romance balances genuine feelings with rotten imagery in light doses, since “Boney” zombies that represent the meaner, to-be-feared skeletal zeds aren’t that nightmarish. Teresa Palmer and Nicholas Hoult confront the awkwardness of forbidden love between a “Corpse” and a living woman. Jonathan Levine’s mainstream zombie rom-com is a miraculously sweet diversion from typical undead storytelling.
Stars: Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer, Rob Corddry, Dave Franco.This article is frequently amended to remove films no longer on HBO Max and to include more horror movies that are now available on the service.
