Day Ten - The Damned Thing (2006)


Genre veteran Tobe Hooper directs this installment of the great, if short-lived, Showtime series Masters of Horror. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre director returns to the Lone Star State for this film which finds people overcome with rage and murdering others and themselves. Aside from a strange oil monster at the end, this is a pretty good little horror movie. The effects are pretty awesome with blood spurting and guts spilling, but the most shocking has to be a scene where a man gets so filled with rage while hammering a nail that he smashes himself repeatedly in the face and head with the hammer. Blood sprays, bones crunch, and that's before he scrapes the claw side down his face. If that sounds good to you then check it out because that's the basis on which I recommend this movie. It's nice to know that even if he may not produce real scares very often, Hooper can still produce the gore.
