“She’s Only an Amateur. And a Woman.” - Sound of Horror (1966)

One of the most brilliant films of the 1960s is Sound of Horror (1966), a precursor to The Night of the Living Dead (1968) and one of the few films to utilize one of the most horrifying concepts in all of cinema: an invisible monster.

Some of your universe's critics do not appreciate the revolutionary Sound of Horror. For example, reviewer vampi1960 writes, “the movie is very dull. it must be seen to be believed.” Reviewer plantonrules calls the film “Talky, dull and never the least bit good.” And reviewer bigchin_00 writes, confusingly, “It's not dreadful but it is pretty awful.”

“A Lot Less Straight Up” - Through the Fire (1988)

A unique combination of detective story, demonic horror, and action movie (in that order), Through the Fire (1988) is a Texas-set near-masterpiece of tension and thrills.

Some of your universe's critics fail to appreciate one-time director Gary Marcum's magnum opus. For example, reviewer poolandrews writes bluntly, "Through the Fire is a throughly wretched piece of film-making, it has no redeeming features whatsoever & is total crap from start to finish." Reviewer kannibalcorpsegrinder writes eloquently, "This here was just utterly pitiful and plain bad." And reviewer BA_Harrison writes loquaciously, "Through the Fire is disappointing on almost every level, with a sloppy script, poor direction, choppy editing and awful acting resulting in a meandering and totally baffling experience."
