On the other hand, THE RESURRECTED, which is "Strange Case Of Charles Dexter Ward", is quite good.
I know I'll be the only one voting for TARGETS but if it gets even one person to watch it, I'll be gratified. Third greatest Karloff role (after Lewton's THE BODY SNATCHER and the obvious), one of those amazing "transitional" genre movies that actively marks the moment when things culturally shift, and it contains some killer lines ("THIS is what I was afraid of?" "I'm hunting pigs...")
Had to go with THE HAUNTING (still one of the best movies of its kind ever, the remake such a travesty - "It ought to be burned down... and the ground sowed with salt!" could be applied to that hideous remake), PSYCHO (natch! "We all go a little mad sometimes") , NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (for its canny reinvention of the slasher genre by turning it into a suburban ghost story - if you ever re-watch, pay attention to how often the little window on the front door is noted) and, yes, REANIMATOR (I find the original text kinda not very good for Lovecraft - although enjoyable pulp - so the humor addition is not slaying any sacred cows for me and Jeffrey Combs so perfectly embodies a Lovecraftian character).
I love JAWS dearly but I consider it an adventure movie more than a monster movie (although I can see the argument).
